"I'm going to peacefully demonstrate my power to the cultivators." Helix explained. Atlas laced his hands behind his head and laid down with an amused expression. "Peacefully?" Atlas asked with a smirk. "Yes. I'll show up during a practice session in the arena and hold a mock battle with Riley." Helix explained with a slight smile. "That way, no one gets hurt, but they can see our overwhelming strength." "That's it?" Atlas asked. "That's it. It will exert our dominance without causing resentment or…-

"The suit looks nice!" Marie proclaimed loudly with a bright smile. Kylon blushed slightly and fidgeted with the middle button. "It seems extra sharp with you rockin' it on purpose." Charlotte commented. "I think it makes you look charming and confident." Riley added with a sweet voice. "Now you're just classy. Good work." Helix chuckled. "It's aight." Atlas commented with a bored expression. Everyone in the group was showering Kylon with praise. Helix suggested laying it on thick to instantly build…

Atlas' eyes narrowed, and they glided to each of their faces. "I know it's hard to believe. So perhaps it's best for Helix to just show you later." Riley suggested. The young man gave them a nonplussed expression. "Show me? How do you show someone a ?" Atlas asked. "Don't be an idiot. Hellie will show you that things' finger." Charlotte scoffed. "He stole the thing's finger!?" Atlas asked with a gawking expression. "Why would he—" "It was its middle finger." Charlotte answered with an evil…

"I'll take Tinker on his walk tonight. Is that okay?" Helix asked. "Hmmm? Of course it is. Please give me a minute to get ready." Charlotte requested. Helix smiled at her and shook his head lightly. "I'd like to go for a walk by myself tonight, if that's alright?" He requested. "Of… course…." Charlotte replied tactfully. She planned to pout but could tell that he needed some alone time. Helix hopped out of the back of the wagon's back door and walked to the other end of the caravan. It was dusk,…

Helix shattered the clouded atmosphere with a warm smile. His partners look at him with interest. "If it looks that way, it's proof that they love me." Helix reasoned. "In the last three months we've lost a friend and our beloved teacher." Atlas' eyes widened alongside Kylon's. "Those are details you didn't know." Helix chuckled. Then he hugged Marie closely, wrapped his arm around Charlotte, and motioned Riley into a bear hug. Their sad faces snuggled close with satisfaction. "You can still tell…

"So, onto important business." Atlas announced. He unlaced his hands and rested his arms on his legs. The shift in lighting instantly lessened the tin on his dark blue sunglasses. Helix turned his head to the right to view the man in the corner. Atlas was in the corner opposite of him. "Hmmm? What's up, Atlas?" Charlotte asked. "You." Atlas laughed. Helix raised an eyebrow. "Me?" Charlotte asked while pointing to her chest. Atlas chuckled and shook his head. "No, you four. The unit." Helix gave…

"Great to see ya, when you're, you know… not trying not to die." Atlas chuckled. "Soak it up. You're witnessing the holy grail of social situations." Helix laughed. Everyone but Kylon burst into laughter. "Even nowadays?" Atlas asked. "Especially these days." He chuckled bitterly. Atlas scanned the expressions of Helix's partners. They were laughing, but their eyes weren't laughing. "There's… madness swirling in those eyes." Atlas commented with wide eyes. "That's because there is." Helix…

— Kylon fidgeted his thumb-like claws on the left side of each paw while panning the wagon. "So cute…." Marie whispered to Riley. Riley nodded with a joyous expression. Charlotte was grinning at him. Helix was sitting in front of him silently. Kylon's eyes glided to the left nervously. The gold streaks in his reddish-orange fur glistened in the sunlight from his sweating. After five more seconds of awkward silence, Helix sighed. "Tell us the reason you're here, Yakuza." Kylon's eyes…

—Three weeks after Tyrene's funeral pyre— "Wait… is that—" Helix asked with narrowed eyes. "Whatcha looking at, Hellie?" Charlotte asked with excitement. She was particularly fascinated whenever Helix pointed out a landmark, plant, or creature they passed. "Hmmm? Is it something important?" Marie asked while stretching her arms. Everyone was lounging around. The group was traveling by wagon to Alzeria. It was a boring trip along a trade route, so most of the time was spent lying around and…

Helix walked over to Tilo with a firm expression and commanding aura. He had to act, but it was her request to be a leader. Tilo smiled at him when he saw the way that he approached. He looked into Helix's eyes while pulling out multiple items. "This is her general's cape." Tilo announced while handing it to him. "Tyrene told me that true power doesn't come from strength. It comes from leading others that are stronger than you." Helix bowed his head as he accepted that cape. "She also said: that…
