The night after the ceremony, Alaric and Yvanna went to a newly built treehouse shich was gifted by a high elf.
It was supposed to be an intimate moment for them, but the newlyweds were exhausted from all the socialization. Moreover, Alaric's mind was on the beast soul crystal they received from the Astanian Emperor.
Alaric took out the jade box and removed the lid, revealing a shiny, round crystal, brimming with ethereal colors.
"What kind of monster could have produced that beast soul crystal?" Yvanna mumbled while staring at it.
Alaric shook his head, spellbound by the crystal's outward appearance. It was the most beautiful crystal he had ever seen.
"I have no idea, but whatever it was, it must have been a terrifying creature."
Yvanna nodded in agreement.
A Calamity-grade beast was already something that could threaten the Greenwood Kingdom, what more a Cataclysmic-grade beast that was a level above that?
Just the thought of it sent a chill through her.
