Chapter 51: The Quest To Save Eryndor
Kelvin, Lyra and Darius sat huddled around a scarred oak table in the library with their beasts resting nearby—Xerion’s obsidian scales shimmered faintly outside the window, Avian Salaris perched on a high ledge and Rhoam sprawled across the floor, his iron-like plates clinked with each slow breath.
Kelvin leaned back in his chair with his gauntlet warm against his wrist, its sigil thrummed as he reviewed a scroll on soulstream legacy from Master Veyne’s collection.
The victory in the Eternal Vault had been a triumph of heritage, but the Inner Sanctum’s gaze was a constant pressure, demanding they refine their bonds with every heartbeat.
His mind drifted to his own progress, a quiet ache of uncertainty beneath his resolve. Back in when he first checked his awakened bond, his stats had been raw, unpolished:
Tamer Rank: Novice (Unranked)
Beast Rank: SSS-Class (Mythic-Class) - Xerion, The End-Tyrant
Bond Strength: Harmonized Bond (Moderate Stability)
Taming Sync Ratio: 17% - severe instability risk
Since then, he had grown and his bond with Xerion had deepened through countless trials, his synchronizing ratio climbed with each Convergence, his stability bolstered by relentless training.
