The Imperial Training Grounds remained quiet.
Ancient symbols still floated through the sky.
The newly awakened powers around the daughters had begun calming down, but traces of them still remained.
Silver energy drifted around Lyra.
Gentle space ripples moved around Veyloria.
Cosmic dragon flames quietly flowed around Kaelignis.
New creation symbols slowly rotated around Elyrion.
From a distance.
Kael Veyris walked toward them.
His steps were calm.
No overwhelming pressure.
No divine aura.
Just Kael.
The daughters immediately looked toward him.
Kaelignis Veyris looked nervous.
Dad...
Did we do okay?
Lyra's Kaelry pointed at herself.
I think I accidentally made memories appear.
I still don't understand it.
Elyrion Veythera raised her hand.
I may have rewritten magical structures by accident.
Veyloria Kaelthera looked down quietly.
...I made everything calm.
For a moment.
Kael simply looked at all of them.
Then a small smile appeared.
Good job.
The girls blinked.
Kael gently placed his hand on Kaelignis's head.
My good girl.
You didn't copy my path.
You found your own.
Kaelignis's eyes widened.
Her dragon wings moved slightly behind her.
Then he moved toward Veyloria and lightly patted her head.
Your power doesn't need to be loud.
Quiet strength is still strength.
Veyloria stared for several seconds.
Then moved a little closer beside him.
...Okay.
He looked at Elyrion.
Curiosity can become strength.
Keep asking questions.
Elyrion immediately opened her floating book.
Recording Father's wisdom.
Kael looked at Lyra.
And stop swinging swords randomly.
Silence.
Lyra looked betrayed.
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING CALLED OUT?!
From nearby.
Ignisia suddenly started laughing.
Because you absolutely were.
Lilith smiled.
You looked like you were fighting invisible chickens.
Even Sun Wukong almost fell off the rooftop laughing.
The daughters looked at Kael again.
For once.
they weren't standing in his shadow.
They were standing beside him.
Growing into themselves.
Far above the Empire.
the mysterious Watcher continued observing.
But now its voice sounded quieter.
...Interesting.
The stars around Kael Veyris are beginning to shine on their own.
