The young man, upon seeing the creature which walked out of the cocoon, was left astonished to find out that the creature was not a werewolf, but a phoenix. If not for the still glowing golden werewolf mark and the familiar feeling which was coming off of the creature, he really might have believed that the Phoenix was someone else in disguise but, this is it! This was the moment that the young man was waiting for generations!
"It's been long; your Majesty… this lowly one has waited for eons to see you. even if your form is now changed, I as your loyal servant can recognize you anywhere!" the young man said while bowing in front of the Phoenix. His voice was trembling with ecstasy; his wait for generations has finally ended. He had diligently followed the order of his king until his imminent return, and he was waiting for his praise.

When Agni came out of the cocoon, the first two things which assailed his sense of smell were the smell of greenery which was mixed with smoke. And the third thing which he noticed was a strange pointy eared elven man standing just in front of him, like he was waiting for him to come out! His aura was ancient, deep, and possessed a feeling of dred which Agni had never seen before, not even in Novias!
The first thing he did after looking at the young man was to use his inspect skill on the young man and tried to gage his strength and the results were, horrifying!

Name: Trynald. The second Primordial Flame.
Raice: High elf.
Level: ???????????????????????????????????????

After his name, everything in his status was a mess of question marks which meant that the young man was more powerful than Agni could hope to defeat right now but strangely, when Agni looked at the young man, he did not felt hostility rather, only the feeling of hidden calm like he had transcended the world's boundaries. The feeling was strange yet peaceful. The ever-present aura of dred was nowhere to be found.
There was silence in the throne room. The it had been several minutes since Agni had come out of the cocoon and had seen the young man but both of them spoke nothing to each other. They were just standing there, like appreciating the beauty of the greenery in the old sanctuary but this reasoning couldn't be the truth because both Agni and the young man, Trynald, had their eyes locked with each other and they were in the middle of a staring contest.
"what are you?"
"oi what are you staring at!"
-
Both of them spoke together and at the same time before coming to a stop and then returning back to stare at each other once again. It lasted for another two and a half minutes before Trynald said again---"don't stare at me. You might fall in love. What will I say to her then?"
Before Agni could counter, his body started to change. It seemed that the timer of his transformation skill has finally ended, and he was falling unconscious without even experiencing the drawback of his stamina depleting completely. Agni was hoping for the last statement to be true but hell, when has something happened according to his will? His body returned back to his human form and the exhaustion hit him like he had done workout for two months straight without ever stopping and before Agni knew it, he collapsed on the floor and fell asleep.
As Agni's body was about to hit the floor, a pair of strong arms caught him in midair and took his body in an empty room in the sanctuary.
Trynald put Agni on the king-sized bed and started to laugh softly.
"The King, he was not able to even stop his skill while he was talking to me. How sweet…" remembering the scene again, Trynald had a huge smile plastered on his face after eons. He hoped that he and his king would never be separated ever again.
