As the sun began to set, Fowad stood, his resolve as strong as ever.
He knew that the next step in his journey would be the most difficult yet.
Breaking into the third taming circle wasn't just a matter of strength it required focus, precision, and an unshakable connection with his beasts.
"Tomorrow," he said, his voice steady. "We start preparing for the breakthrough."
Foxy barked in agreement, her tails wagging. Fattey chirped loudly, flapping his wings as if already celebrating their future success.
With a final glance at the map, Fowad folded it carefully and tucked it away.
The path ahead was clear, and he was ready to face whatever challenges lay in his way.
As darkness fell over the forest, Fowad and his companions returned to their nest, the stars above casting a soft glow over the trees.
Together, they rested, their minds and bodies preparing for the trials to come.
