Suddenly, a huge head popped up on the platform, nearly startling him. It was a lion's head with fiery red mane, broad jaws, and a flat forehead, silver eyes looked majestic—only it seemed slightly blurry with sleep, raising its paw to rub its eyes.

"Ah, you're back, I saw someone lighting a fire on the island earlier and knew it was you," it yawned, "But you didn't come over for half the day, and I dozed off again."
"Hello, Mr. Reed," Tianlan smiled and waved at the lion, "Brother Ade, this is Mr. Reed, he is Sister Atira's friend. An esteemed Holy Temple Knight of the Lion People from Marlan, a Holy Warrior."
