"Wow, Bruto," Bruto was the first to break the silence, "What was that just now? It felt like a melting mound of gold..."
"That was a Kirin, its name is 'Ying', one of the earliest Protectors," Dong Quan said, gazing admiringly in the direction where the golden figure had disappeared. "Ying and Uncle Eskodel used to be good friends. When there was no need for battle, they often came to play with us, but later, Uncle Eskodel sacrificed himself to protect us. Ying was very heartbroken and since then, we've rarely seen it."
"It is said that Ying built its nest on the steep peaks to the south where there are always terrifying winds blowing, and only the most powerful Aira can fly up there," Lilu added from the side. "But Ying has always silently protected us, appearing in the most critical battles to bring strength and hope to the Protectors."
