The next day arrived swiftly, and preparations for the domain merge were already underway. Canna had made sure the sanctuary's inhabitants were aware of what was to come, though he kept the finer details to himself. Most of the work was happening on Arborath's side. Ever since the tiny turtle made the decision to entrust his domain to Canna, Arborath had entered a deep trance, mentally preparing for the significant event.

While Tonitrum's domain had been mostly barren when Canna inherited it, Arborath's was lush, rich with life, and filled with rare species that had never been seen by anyone outside the shell's realm. The balance between such different spaces would be delicate, and Arborath was intent on ensuring everything was seamless.
