After examining the stones held by Mana and Raven silently, Head Sage Yue smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
"This is indeed a blessing from the ancestors," he said to Raven and Mana. "You must be careful and put away the stones – and do not let anyone other than you two touch the stones at any cost. The spirit stones have recognised you as the owners, and if anyone else attempts to touch the stones, there will be repercussions – rather unpleasant ones, at that. Even if it is merely an attempt to examine the stones – no one except you two can be allowed to touch them."
"Big Brother Azar, Big Cousin Sister Alya and I can touch them," Vyom said smugly. Then, before anyone could stop him, he leapt into Raven's arms and touched the stone in his hand with a furry paw.
The spirit stone glowed warmly, clearly liking the tiger cub. Then Vyom reached out and touched the stone in Mana's hand as well.
"Amazing," Head Sage Yue and Regent Prince Yuki murmured.
