A few more glides through the air, and we were halfway from our destination when it started to rain hard, accompanied by a strong wind. We had to stop and seek shelter in a cave near the area to wait for the rain to stop because I cannot fly in such bad weather. Due to the sudden change in weather, we almost got blown away by the wind. We were soaking wet, but luckily there were dry small branches, leaves, and hard stones inside the cave, so Dillon lit up a bonfire to warm us up and dry ourselves. We didn't remove our clothes, and we just sat down in front of the fire to dry ourselves, patiently waiting for the rain to stop or lessen. The rain did weaken a little, but it was already too dark, and it would be hard for us to return to the tribe because the moon was still covered with thick clouds. It would be hard to see the way back since my eyes were not as sharp as a normal Lion beastman at night because I wasn't trained to function at night, all thanks to my overprotective father,

I woke up and felt that I was lying on a cozy, warm bed similar to my bed. There was quite a commotion, but I have not opened my eyes just yet. My father seemed furious while reprimanding someone—I could hear his voice even when I was still half asleep. My father roared at the person he was yelling at, "What have you done to my daughter for her not to wake up until now?!" I could also sense Dillon's scent from a distance. I guessed he was the one being scolded, so I opened my eyes and attempted to stop my father, but strangely, I was too weak to sit up. "Father," I mumbled, trying to get my father's attention. My father suddenly turned his head toward me, trying to help me get up. He suddenly ordered Dillon, who was kneeling just in front of the door, "You! Call out the elders. Hurry up!" It seemed like he was not allowed to enter my room as expected. It was a relief that his wounds were already treated, though he looked messed up because of my father. Even so, he obediently fol

Everything went smoothly after the trial, as Dillon officially became one of our family. He became my father's assistant instead, since I was no longer allowed to accompany my father on his tasks all throughout the winter. One night, as the winter ended, I suddenly felt dizzy for some reason, so I went to bed early. In my dream, there was a beautiful woman, but I couldn't see her face clearly as I called her subconsciously, "Mom!" "It's time to go," the woman said as she lifted her hand to reach me. "To where?" I asked curiously. She smiled as she pointed out an island right beyond our sight. It was such a beautiful island separated from the other continent and was only connected by a small path created by the ancient race after their continent was separated by the Queen Goddess Hera, according to elders. I could see a pillar at the center of the island going to the sky. Was it a path to Nirvana? I had no idea because my knowledge regarding the Immortals was limited. The elders

Lev's POVWhen I woke up, I realized that the insignia on my chest had suddenly changed into a lion cub with a wing. I was baffled as I ran to the incubation room and saw that Ari had already broken out of the egg. It's a female, but she has a male passive form. What's more, she had a wing similar to the insignia on my chest before it disappeared.I held the delicate little thing as she clung to me while sleeping soundly. She was found to be allergic to males later on, so I was terrified for her safety, even as the alpha of our tribe. She was condemned by the tribe since it would be impossible for her to marry a male due to her state, but I did my best to protect her.I assigned the elder healer to take care of her and to find a way to cure and relieve her of her illness. We did many tests and trials just to find a way for her to live a normal life, but to no avail.My daughter was a rare genius; she could already do tough tasks at a young age, and she never stopped surprising me with

The next morning, there was a commotion in the Forest Wolf Tribe. It was said that they found an unconscious Lion hatchling in the forest, so they brought him back to Lowell to decide what to do after they treated his wounds. I hurriedly took a peek at the said hatchling, as I felt uneasy when I heard the news. Lowell and Dillon accompanied me to the elder healer of their tribe, Ralph. I was stunned when I saw Gurion's disheveled appearance. I screamed in shock, "Gurion!" "Do you know who the parents of this little hatchling are?" the elder healer asked. "Gurion... he is Ari's little hatchling," Dillon answered as he approached Gurion gently. Lowell, Acwulf, and the elder healer were stunned. They were speechless, and they seemed not to know how to respond. Who wouldn’t be shocked to know that a minor like me had a hatchling who was barely four years old? What's more, I haven't even come of age yet. I laughed at their reactions because they looked at me in confusion but couldn’t
