"Luna Lyra, you have shown that you deserve more than just your title; you have earned our trust and loyalty."

“Every time we choose kindness over anger, every time we open our hearts to each other, we lay another brick in the foundation of a future where our pack stands united.” A gentle breeze swept through the balcony, carrying with it the soft fragrance of night-blooming jasmine. The moment was intimate, timeless—a pause in the relentless march of days filled with challenges and victories. In that quiet space, Donavon and Zuri were not leaders or warriors; they were simply two souls bound together by shared pain and the enduring promise of love.

He must be truly great, going to such extremes. “Master, I still believe that humans are inherently kind creatures.” “Humans can be both kind and evil. It all depends on their experiences. Ksitigarbha had a great wish—he refused to become a Buddha unless hell was empty. Bodhis, however, can only be created once all lives are saved.” “I may not be as great as Ksitigarbha, but I wish to keep some of my kindness. So, those who are willing to take the oath can come over once. I’ll let you leave first, but I’ll be staying back to protect you all… be quick!”

I could feel it in my bones, the same way I felt the moon’s pull during the full cycle. This wasn’t just training. This was the birth of a legacy. I rose slowly from my chair, the wooden legs scraping softly against the stone floor. Alfredo followed suit, his hand brushing mine in silent support.

His words were met with thunderous applause and genuine affection, and for a moment, I allowed myself to feel proud of him.

His body had used everything all at once. A few minutes later, Creed again picked himself from the ground. His stamina and Chakra reserves were still drained out. His eyes were sullen from it and his stomach was growling too. Putting aside his hunger and exhaustion, Creed summoned the holographic console in front of him again. Some notifications were visible on the screen. [Congratulations!! Mr. Creed Gryffon.

He is from the Phoenix Clan!!”
