Meanwhile, Arin stayed in a clearing near the foot of the wall where he skinned the bear and removed one of it canines.
After he finished his task, he was putting away the knife when he noticed his wife presence.
"What are you doing, standing there ?." Arin probed.
"I still don't like the fact that you let our son get injured". Laura responded.
"I am always looking out for him, I just wanted him to take that battle as good learning experience." Arin answered.
"He fell asleep immediately after I treated his wounds." Laura voiced.
"How are his injuries." Arin inquired.
"His injuries are not that serious, he will be alright as soon as he wakes up." Laura sighed.
"It's alright, remember you won't be always there to guide him, there will be a day here you will no longer be with him." Arin reminded as he drew Laura closer to himself.
"I wish I will always be there for him". Laura sighed and said.
"I wish so too!." Arin replied.
The couple then remained like that as they enjoy each other's company and serene tranquility of their immediate environment.

Afterwards, After blissful sleep of a few hours, Dean woke up and he felt very hungry because he haven't eaten before falling asleep. He came out of his room and noticed that sun have gone down and it is already nighttime.
He proceeded to the room counter they used as dining area and sat down in one of the empty chairs.
Laura who already noticed him the moment he woke up came out of the room she shared with Arin and asked.
"My dear, you are awake, how are your wounds, do you need anything ?".
"Yes mom, I am feeling okay but I am very hungry right now." He replied.
"I knew you were going to be after you wake up." She said with a smile and went into the kitchen.
As soon as she left, Arin came out of his room and walked towards Dean.
"Dean, I see you are awake, how are you feeling right now?". He questioned as he clasped Dean on his shoulder.
"I am feeling much better than before". Dean responded.
"I've noticed, anyways I brought you this". He said producing the canines of the tenrian bear from his hand.
"Thanks". Dean replied receiving the canines from Arin outstretched arms.
"The coat will be ready after we give it to those tailor in our next visit to the market.
"I'm back". Laura declared, beaming a warm smile as she emerges from the kitchen with two plates of hot steaming soup filling the room with mouth watering aroma. She sets down the plates in front of Dean who wastes no time in digging into the meal.
"I shall leave you to enjoy your meal." Arin said as he stood up and left the counter.
Shortly thereafter, Dean proceeded to finish his meal with a smile that almost split his face into two.
"Did you enjoy the meal?" Laura asked.
"Yes mom, it was delicious." He replied.
"I'll be in my room." He added as he rose up to leave.
On getting to the his room, he walked to the table next to his bed where he practiced enchantment. He sat down and placed the bear canines which his father gave him on the table. He scoured his drawer for his pen knife which he kept for piercing into hard objects. He clamped down the canine and proceeded to pierce the upper enamel. After applying a bit of mana and for, he succeeded in creating a hole enough for thread to pass through.
He then produced a tough looking silk thread and passed it into the hole and proceeded to tie it around his neck.
"Ha, finally." He beamed.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, a place where no mortal can reach. In a magnificent palace surrounded by endless body of water filled with dangerous creatures. Within this palace sat a man meditating, he possessed young features but his age might prove otherwise the staring at something many miles away with rapt attention.
Suddenly, another figure appeared and bowed before other man.
"Master, are you still watching that young boy?". The new arrival asked.
"I can't help but notice him, I wonder if he will be like his predecessors". He replied
"If he turns out like them, then we just destroy him". The man added.
"Never mind, he is still too young anyway". The master responded as he closed his eyes.
