The owl stood quietly beside Cain, its enormous body casting a shadow across the broken ground, its golden eyes half-lidded as if bored by the conversation. It did not look fierce at the moment. It did not look terrifying. It looked... available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" she said at last. \"I refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain blinked. \"Refuse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, folding her arms across her chest as if building a wall between herself and the temptation in front of her. \"I have no talent for taming. I have tried more times than I care to admit. I know my limits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain tilted his head again, that faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did not try this one,\" he said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya let out a short breath that was almost a laugh, but there was no humor in it. \"You think I did not try everything? Pills to calm their blood. Rare herbs mixed with essence to improve affinity. I studied ancient taming scrolls. I sought advice from beast masters in hidden valleys. I used threat when coaxing failed. I used coaxing when threat failed. I brought food. I brought blood. I even tried starving myself to match a beast’s temperament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice lowered slightly as old memories pressed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was a crimson ridge tiger,\" she continued quietly. \"I spent three months tracking it. I learned its territory, its hunting routes. I approached slowly, day by day, never forcing contact. I thought patience would work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It bit my arm and left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain listened with open curiosity, though inside his mind he already knew the stories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was a bone-wing falcon,\" she went on. \"I prepared spirit pills to increase resonance. I refined them myself. I fed it by hand for two weeks. When I tried to form the bond... it screeched and flew into the sky. It never returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tightened against her sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I even tried a lesser beast. A low bloodline wolf that most elders would not even glance at. I thought perhaps starting small would help. I tried threat. I tried kindness. I tried both at once. It only howled at me and refused to eat until I left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Cain steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not suited for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain hummed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe those beasts were just blind,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or maybe,\" he added, his tone almost playful, \"you were not stubborn enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at him in disbelief. \"Not stubborn enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gave up each time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did not give up,\" she snapped, a flicker of heat entering her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stopped trying,\" Cain corrected gently. \"That is the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya inhaled sharply, forcing herself to calm down. \"You are a child. You do not understand the humiliation of repeated failure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain shrugged. \"Then fail again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" he asked calmly. \"Afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pride flared instantly. \"Afraid? Of failing again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scoffed, but something tightened in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain took a slow step closer, lowering his voice slightly as if sharing a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It obeys me, yet I do not own it,\" he said. \"It stands free. There is no contract. If you do not try, someone else will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no one else here,\" she said stiffly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" He asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rime, Zenaya looked at the owl again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stronger than she had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stronger than many elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart beat a little faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain watched her carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his mind, however, his tone turned mischievous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kekeke. Let this girl tame this low bloodline beast as punishment for interrupting that damn Elder Noir. What a funny scene. Just look at the face and ugly appearance of this ugly owl. And look at you. Everyone would laugh. The beautiful Elder Zenaya paired with this ugly thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Zenaya’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly turned her head toward the owl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its beak was large. Its eyes were fierce. Its feathers were dark and thick. It was not elegant like a falcon. It was not majestic like a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was... rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ugly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taming a beast had been her dream since she was young. Since before she became an elder. Since before she learned to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so what if it was not beautiful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the owl standing there like a silent mountain, she would have rushed forward and pulled his ears until he begged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya snorted softly in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I tame this beast, I will make sure I punish you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly, she straightened her posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" she said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" she replied. \"I will try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his mind he burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She accepted. The old lady accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya heard every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just you wait,she promised silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain turned to the owl and gestured lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prostrate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owl lowered itself immediately, bowing before Zenaya, its enormous head dipping toward her in obedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya took a slow breath and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, there was no pride. No anger. Only focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood mana gathered around her palms, swirling in intricate patterns as she began to draw a taming circle in the air. Crimson lines formed one by one, intersecting with precise angles, ancient symbols glowing faintly as they connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air thickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest seemed to quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice lowered into a chant, each word careful and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood to blood. Spirit to spirit. I seek not to dominate but to walk together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic circle expanded, rotating slowly above her hands, layers stacking over one another as more runes ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain watched quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his head, he commented lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let us see how badly you fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya pressed her palm forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle descended and touched the owl’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, crimson light erupted between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood mana surged violently, flowing from Zenaya into the owl, then back toward her in a powerful wave. Her body trembled as the beast’s immense aura pressed against her like a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grit her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Accept,\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owl remained still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the circle glowed brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then cracks appeared across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya’s eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle shattered into fragments of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She staggered back half a step, breath uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s inner laughter rang loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I didn’t expect this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, he said warmly, \"It is alright. First attempts are always unstable. Try again, Elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya’s jaw tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time she adjusted the rhythm of her chant, softening the pressure, focusing on harmony instead of force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again the beast’s aura pressed against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again cracks formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again it shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain inside his mind sighed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps you truly have no talent. Even this ugly thing rejects you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out loud he said gently, \"Your formation was slightly off. The third rune. Adjust it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenaya’s cheeks burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began a third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mana reserves dipped lower now. Sweat formed along her brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again the circle formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again it touched the owl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again the surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she failed, the louder Cain’s inner mockery became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe you should give up. Save face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps beasts just dislike you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this low bloodline creature refuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly he clapped lightly. \"You are close this time.
