Chapter 102

• As Clarion led Ethan toward the magnificent building after viewing the statue, its towering structure seemed to show sense of timelessness, as though it had been crafted not just from wood and stone, but from the very essence of the earth toil itself.
• The air around them smelled with the intoxicating scent of blooming flowers, mingling with the rich, earthy undertones of the garden that surrounded the entrance. Sunlight trickled through the leaves above.
• As they walked deeper into the building, they arrived at a flowering garden, harmonizing with the otherwise sturdy of the interior. In its center stood Alpha Ryker, a figure who exuded both commanding presence and gentility. He was tending to a cluster of delicate blue flowers, pruning them with utmost care. When he heard their approach, he turned, his expression brightening instantly at the sight of Clarion.
