Helena and Indah exchanged dumbfounded glances, their eyebrows raised in mutual bewilderment. "Why have these two suddenly become best pals?" Helena whispered to Indah, her confusion mirrored in her furrowed brow.
"Did we just attack each other not long ago?" Indah muttered in disbelief, her eyes flitting between Aura and Diaz as if expecting a hidden punchline to reveal itself.

But fate had other plans, and my mother, Celestina, became the force that kept them apart. How unfortunate to have a wife who surpassed you in strength, Father. (Father: You feel me, son?)"
There was a twinge of pity for his father's unfulfilled longing, yet also a sense of vindication for Celestina's strength. Diaz couldn't resist a wry smile and muttered, 'You got what you deserved, old man.'

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a gentle, dappled glow upon the verdant expanse.
At the heart of Sanctum Aurorae lies the Radiant Grove, an open expanse surrounded by ancient trees that seem to stand as timeless sentinels. In the center of the grove rests the Luminal Pool, a serene and shimmering oasis that mirrors the stars at night and the sun's brilliance by day. This pool is said to hold waters imbued with the essence of the lionbeasts' power, capable of bringing both healing and enlightenment to those who approach with reverence.

These structures seamlessly integrate into the natural surroundings, a testament to the lionbeasts' respect for the land they inhabit.
"Isn't this place fragrant?" Helena's curiosity got the better of her as she glanced around, absorbing the scents.
Diaz nodded in agreement, his voice a quiet command, "Yes, it is."
The path they followed led them deeper into the heart of the sanctuary until they arrived at a sprawling complex with multiple rooms that branched out like tendrils of nature.
"Welcome to your new abode," Aura gestured to the spacious surroundings.
Their Big home within the sanctuary was a harmonious blend of natural elegance and purposeful design. The sprawling complex consisted of several interconnected rooms that seemed to seamlessly merge with the surrounding environment.
The entrance opened into a spacious living area, where the walls appeared to be woven from living vines, creating a sense of unity with the verdant landscape outside. Soft sunlight filtered through leafy curtains, casting dappled patterns on the polished wooden floor. Plush cushions adorned with intricate leaf patterns were arranged around low wooden tables, creating inviting seating arrangements.
Adjacent to the living area was a cozy library, its shelves carved directly into the walls. Books on various subjects lined the shelves, their spines displaying a wide range of knowledge. A large, ornately crafted desk stood near the window, adorned with scrolls, quills, and intricate diagrams. The room exuded an atmosphere of quiet contemplation and intellectual pursuit.
Helena's eyes widened with appreciation at the sight. "This is quite a place."
"Indeed," Diaz replied with a hint of Excitement in his tone.
Aurelia, the Radiant Lioness, stood in their midst, her presence lending an air of regality to the surroundings. "Consider this your home for now," she said.
"Thank you, Auntie," Diaz offered his gratitude.
Aurelia's expression shifted slightly, her gaze softening. "Just call me Aura."
Diaz's lips curled into a warm smile, a sense of familiarity mingling with respect. "Of course, Aura-nee."
"We'll work that out," Aura's voice held a touch of helplessness, she still young you know?, unlike human, a lionbeast at this age can be called teenager, a hint of challenges faced and decisions made.
Then, as if prompted by the unfolding events, Indah's voice cut through the moment. "Your highness, can I borrow your communication talisman?"
Diaz's internal amusement echoed, a sense of satisfaction rippling through him. 'Hehe, the plan is going smoothly.'
In the midst of the fragrant sanctuary, their lives seemed intricately woven into the threads of destiny, guided by a blend of nostalgia, loyalty, and an undeniable undercurrent of schemes yet to unfold.
