On the rooftop, under the celestial dance of stars, XJ6 materialized, his presence a subtle reminder of secrecy and caution. "Young Master Ryu, we promised not to reveal your true strength," he admonished.
Ryu, with a playful grin, retorted, "Come on, it's not my fault if I'm too good." He then glanced at the peacefully slumbering Princess Amara and instructed, "Take her to her bed, XJ6."
XJ6, seemingly content in his role under Ryu's command, silently followed the directive. As they disappeared into the shadows, Ryu sought out his mother, Elysia. "Mother, can you teach me and the princess magic?" he asked with earnest eyes.
"Don't you worry, little devil. Magic lessons will start from tomorrow," Elysia replied with a mischievous glint in her eye.
Excited about the prospect of learning magic, Ryu couldn't contain his enthusiasm. "Who's the best mage in the kingdom?" he wondered aloud.
Before Elysia could respond, a rock sailed through the air and lightly struck Ryu's head. Turning around, Ryu saw his mother with a teasing smirk. "Who do you think is the best mage?" she quipped.
Kaito, Ryu, and Elysia burst into laughter, the familial bond uniting them in shared joy. As they retired for the night, Ryu raised his hand high, declaring, "Finally, I will learn magic."
Yet, as the echoes of laughter faded, Ryu found himself alone, the God's words whispering in his mind. Another duty awaited him, a reminder that destiny held more threads to weave into the intricate tapestry of his life. The night embraced the mysteries, leaving Ryu to ponder the shadows that lurked beneath the surface of his newfound adventures.
