A massive body of a dragon was lying on the wastelands of Atal, a young man with pitch-black hair was standing in front of a young calf and was about to place a hand on its head,
A very handsome or rather beautiful man was standing along with a bull-headed human not so far from them and in front of them was a Skeleton wearing full body armor while holding onto the body of Virupa.
Shiva placed his hands on the head of milky white calf as he said,
"Raise from the dead"
his mana instantly got cut off by 3/4th delivering a massive exhaustion pain to him, he greeted his teeth as he stood up and watched the familiar scene of dark mist covering the calf, the mist lasted for about half an hour in which he recovered some mana,
He used his 'Reanimate' skill on Virupa,
Virupa opened his eyes and seeing his lord holding his body, he smiled as he said,
" I am back at your service, my lord"
Shiva looked at his subordinate who was not even blaming him even after all that happened, he tightened his fist as he said,
"I am sorry Virupa, I will make sure nothing like that will happen in the future"
"I am fine, My lord. even if I have to die thousand times, if it means my lord can live, I will give my life willingly" said Virupa smilingly warmly,
"You are a complete idiot, Virupa"
"Thanks for the compliment my lord" Virupa performed his signature butler bow making Shiva smirk at his appearance,
"You will never learn"

After about 30 minutes, the mist started to clear and revealed the appearance of the calf,
the calf was now more mature but the biggest change was that the previously milky white fur and skin of the calf were completely turned to pitch-black color and two short red horns were poking out of its head. if previously it looked like an angel from heaven, now it looked more like a little devil from hell.
The serpent and the bullhead were having a headache seeing this transformation, but whom could they possibly blame,
The calf with big round eyes looked around and noticed Shiva in front of it as it quickly lowered its head,
"I, The Newborn Twilight, greets the Master" a voice was heard even though the calf looked like it was just silently bowing.
A few notifications came to him as a result,
[You have obtained 'Twilight Calf' as your third servant]
[You have completed the hidden quest ' The path of Monarch -1 ']
[you are rewarded with 'skill upgrade token'*1]
but that was not the end of the messages, all the beings in the tower also heard another message,
[The Twilight has Descended on the Tower of Ruins]
It was warning, warning that a certain storm was forming in the Tower,
but that is not an issue now, The serpent and the bullhead came to the calf and said to Shiva,
" your reward is delivered, I will be taking my leave with him now"
He tried to take the calf to his arms, but the calf jumped and hid behind Shiva as it said,
"What are you doing?"
This time the bullhead answered,
"Let's go home now kid, you know it is already late," he said in a kind tone, but the calf retorted,
"What home, My previous life is already over, now my life belongs to my master, I will follow him wherever he will be going"
it looked towards Shiva puppy eyes as it said,
"Master I want to stay with you"
Shiva felt like his heart was hit with a sun melting it away at its cuteness.
"You...You know what will happen if you try to mind wash the kid right?" the serpent said in a threatening voice.
"what? I didn't even say anything, why am I being blamed now?"
Shiva retorted as they were accusing him of mind washing the calf,
"don't make things difficult for me, let's go home kid," said the bullhead,
"No, I am not coming anywhere"
The serpent had a nerve bulging on his forehead as he said,
"seems like talking will not work"
He was trying to catch the calf to bring it back by force when a voice resounded in the surrounding,
"" Leave him Vasuki, Its neither our right nor his fate, I couldn't protect him while he was with me, I want him to live as he wishes this time""
It was the voice of a woman, the voice was like hearing a melody, soothing, and just listening to the voice felt like a grace being cast upon by God,
The serpent backed off hearing the voice as he and the bullhead bowed together,
"As you wish, my lady"
The space fluctuations returned as they began to disappear, and the voice of the woman was heard again,
"Human, take good care of my son"
and saying so everyone disappeared leaving the massive dragon corpse with a young man and a group of skellies with a young calf...
"you will not ask to return the dragon's body, right?"
mumbled Shiva as he looked at the massive dragon's body.
****
An extremely beautiful woman whose beauty seemed to trance the heavens was looking at the pond where the images of the young calf playing with a group of skeletons were showing,
A drop of tear dripped down from her face seeing the calf as she said,
" You found him a good Master to follow, Vasuki and Nandi"
she said still looking at the pond showing a young man mumbling
'you will not ask to return the dragon's body, right?'
She smiled slightly seeing him and turned around as Vasuki and Nandi were standing there,
"Ma'am, do you think it is a good thing to leave him there?"
"don't worry, he will be fine, don't you also see that, He became the Twilight lord just now"
"even so...."
"It's fine to leave that matter, for now, The tower will be in turmoil by the appearance of Twilight Lord for some time, send my lord, the information about this, I don't want his training to be interrupted by any of the mess, Nandi go and stay by his side"
"Understood"
Both of them disappeared as the woman again gazed at the pond mumbling,
"Stay safe my son..."
