pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ

Elder Pine, the wise old man who had served as a guiding figure for the Forest Heart Sect for many years, was startled as Stella, the Primordial Garuda, descended upon the arena. The Forest Heart Sect had always been known for its specialization in the Wood Attribute, making the appearance of such a majestic creature with a completely different attribute a shocking revelation.

As a well-respected figure in the Forest Heart Sect, Elder Pine had dedicated his entire life to the study and mastery of the Wood Attribute. He had seen countless disciples come and go, each striving to harness the power of the Wood Attribute to reach new heights of mastery.

The Forest Heart Sect was revered for its unwavering focus on the Wood Attribute, making the appearance of Stella, a creature of the Fire Attributes, completely unexpected.

Elder Pine couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions as he beheld the magnificent form of Stella. The vibrant hues of her fiery plumage, her immense size, and her undeniable aura of power captivated him, even as he felt a pang of unease at the thought of a creature so fundamentally different from the Sect's core beliefs making an appearance in their arena.

Elder Pine, the respected and venerable figure of the Forest Heart Sect, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease as he observed Stella, the Primordial Garuda, descend upon the arena. The creature, with its Fire Attributes, was fundamentally at odds with the core beliefs and values of the Sect, which specialized in the Wood Attribute. Elder Pine knew he needed to address this matter with Orion, the disciple who had formed a bond with Stella, to understand the reasoning behind his choice.

Before the intense battle between Aiden and Orion could commence, Elder Pine decided to intervene. The old man raised his hand, signaling for a brief pause in the proceedings. The audience, eager to witness the showdown between the two Beast Masters and their Legendary Beasts, fell silent as they awaited the words of the esteemed Elder.

"Orion," Elder Pine began, his voice firm yet measured, "your connection with Stella, the Primordial Garuda, is a testament to your skill as a Beast Master. However, before this battle begins, I must ask you directly: why have you chosen to form a bond with a creature of the Fire Attribute, given our Sect's dedication to the Wood Attribute?"

The arena remained silent, the tension palpable as everyone awaited Orion's response. The young Beast Master glanced at his fiery companion, then back to Elder Pine. His expression was one of determination and pride as he answered the question posed by the revered figure.

Sect Master Oakheart, the leader of the Forest Heart Sect and a figure revered by all its members, had been observing the exchange between Elder Pine and Orion with keen interest. He knew the appearance of Stella, the Primordial Garuda, had raised concerns among the Sect's elders, especially Elder Pine.

It was his responsibility as the Sect Master to provide guidance and maintain harmony within the Sect. Thus, he decided to step in and address the situation.

Elder Pine had questioned Orion's decision to form a bond with a creature of the Fire Attribute in a Sect dedicated to the Wood Attribute. Sect Master Oakheart listened intently as Orion explained his reasoning, emphasizing the importance of understanding and embracing all attributes for true growth and mastery. The Sect Master nodded thoughtfully, acknowledging the wisdom in Orion's words.

As the silence lingered, Sect Master Oakheart cleared his throat and began to speak. His deep, resonant voice filled the arena, commanding the attention of everyone present.

"Elder Pine," he started, "I understand your concerns regarding Orion's choice of companion, and your dedication to upholding the values of our Sect is truly commendable. However, we must also recognize the potential for growth and learning that lies in embracing new perspectives and challenges."

Sect Master Oakheart paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "It is true that our Forest Heart Sect is specialized in the Wood Attribute, and our disciples primarily form bonds with creatures that embody the essence of this attribute. However, it is important to remember that Orion's journey as a Beast Master has only just begun, and his Wood Attribute beast is still a Spirit Beast."

The Sect Master's gaze swept across the audience as he continued, "The path of a Beast Master is one of continuous growth and evolution, both for the Master and their Beasts. Orion's bond with Stella, the Primordial Garuda, may appear to deviate from our Sect's core values, but it is also a testament to his adaptability, courage, and openness to change."

Sect Master Oakheart turned his attention to Orion, his eyes filled with warmth and understanding. "Orion, it is evident that your connection with Stella has allowed you to gain insight and experience that extends beyond the boundaries of our Sect's teachings. While it may seem unconventional, I believe your bond with Stella will ultimately contribute to your growth as a Beast Master and enrich our Sect's collective knowledge."

He then addressed the entire arena, his voice firm and resolute. "As the Sect Master of the Forest Heart Sect, it is my duty to nurture and support the growth of our disciples, ensuring that they reach their fullest potential. In the spirit of progress and learning, I encourage all members of our Sect to approach Orion's bond with Stella with an open mind, and to view it as an opportunity for us all to expand our understanding of the world and its many wonders."

Sect Master Oakheart's words resonated deeply with the audience, instilling a sense of unity and understanding among the members of the Forest Heart Sect. The Sect Master's wisdom and guidance served as a reminder that the path to mastery was not a rigid one, but rather a journey of continuous growth, adaptation, and exploration.

With the Sect Master's blessing, Orion felt a surge of gratitude and determination well up within him. He bowed respectfully to Sect Master Oakheart and Elder Pine, his eyes filled with determination and pride.

As the atmosphere in the arena shifted, the battle between Orion and Aiden was set to begin anew. The spectators, their earlier shock and apprehension replaced by curiosity and anticipation, eagerly awaited the clash of the two Beast Masters and their Legendary Beasts.
