"Bel, are you okay?" Ossa exclaimed, standing at the entrance of the nursery den, worry evident in his dark green flickering eyes as the timer had ticked down to just three seconds.

"Are you alright?" She asked again, her gaze now carrying more worry than Ossa's.
"Yeah, I am. Now that I know you are..." He hugged little Bel, relieved that she was okay.
"Come inside, I have a lot to tell you." Bel pulled him in and proceeded to inform him about Seraphina's visit, magic, and the books.

"... So I will learn and become as strong as you and the other shadow wolves," she said, her little hands clenched in determination.
"Yeah, I know you will..." Ossa patted her head lovingly, momentarily forgetting the blue lavender in the spatial bracelet he wore.
