For Bastian, although it was born with the help of the Yancey Family's blood bracelet, after Tara Summer divorced Liam Yancey, the only direct relative Tara had left was Josie Reed.
Being a sentient Dragon Beast King, it could tell by their scents that they were mother and daughter. Therefore, as a Guardian Dragon Beast, it naturally wouldn't guard against Josie.
Even more, it laid its head back down, allowing her to stroke it, its large coppery eyes closing slightly, seeming to enjoy it very much.
The tangible feeling under her palm finally made Josie fully believe in the almost miraculous event happening before her eyes. She turned her head to look at her daughter, her voice still trembling slightly.
"This is...incredible..."
"Yes, it is," agreed Tara. She remembered how terrified she had been at first, thinking it was all just a fairy tale. Such a surreal encounter would be hard for anyone to accept immediately.
