For the first time since she had arrived in Solterra, Shasha was finally able to sleep soundly.

It had been a few months since she, and the other Wanderers had been sent to a place that was very far from the Major Human Kingdoms, where the Five Monarch Clans and the Ten Prestigious Families were located.

Everyday was a fight for survival, so her sleep was very shallow, ready to wake up at a moment's notice.

But, after her brother appeared in front of her, she once again felt safe enough to sleep without the need to keep a weapon beside her.

Right now, the beautiful teenage girl was sleeping peacefully in Giga Chad's soft fur, which was way better than the makeshift bed filled with leaves that she used as her bed.

She was even hugging Thirteen in her sleep like a teddy bear.

Thirteen, on the other hand, didn't mind letting his sister do as she pleased.

He noticed that she had become a little thinner, and more haggard since the last time he saw her, proving that her first adventure in Solterra wasn't an easy one.

The ten-year-old didn't tell his sister about the hardships that he had to endure in order to reach her location.

He was just doing his Trials, and his Twelfth Trial was to reach the place called Arcadia Archipelago.

It took him three months to get there by sea, and when he arrived, he just happened to find his sister after hearing Vassago's report that there were teenagers being attacked by a Bear Monster in the forest.

Similar to the Valbarra Archipelago, the Arcadia Haven was a very large archipelago, with four main islands, forming a long line.

These islands were Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, and Alkaid.

Currently, Thirteen was on the second Island, Merak, which had a vast swath of forest, spanning for miles on end.

Bordering it was a valley, which had picturesque features.

It was also the place that Kane and his team of Wanderers were using as their base of operations.

Shasha, on the other hand, was forced to look for her own base of operations in the forest, where she and the other Wanderers could rest without worrying about being attacked by powerful monsters.

The funny thing was that the cave where they were currently at, had been used by other Wanderers in the past.

It was hidden behind a waterfall, and even had an escape route, in case a monster forced itself inside the cave.

This escape route was very narrow, and only teenage boys and girls could pass through it.

It led to the other side of the mountain where the valley was located.

With this means of escape, Shasha and the other Wanderers had made the cave their base, and had been living in it for the past few months.

Kane's team had a similar base, which was also used by other Wanderers in the past.

It was quite funny knowing that the things that were left behind by the other Wanderers were keeping the next generation safe.

Tiona softly hissed in Thirteen's ear, telling him that a pack of Rank 2 Wolves was heading towards their cave.

'Thank you, Tiona,' Thirteen replied, but he didn't make a move to do anything.

The reason? Because there was no need to do anything!

A few minutes later, the sound of howling, growling, and roaring, spread inside the cave, waking all the Wanderers from their slumber.

Even Shasha, who had been sleeping soundly a while ago, opened her eyes and immediately stood up.

"Brother," Shasha said with a solemn expression on her face.

"It's fine," Thirteen replied. "Let's go out and see if those wolves have already been taken care of."

The ten-year-old walked towards the cave entrance, with Shasha following a step behind him.

The other Wanderers also joined, holding their weapons, ready to fight if necessary.

When they left the cave and walked past the waterfall, a scene that they never expected to see was happening right in front of their eyes.

The moons of Solterra were bright, so the surroundings were well illuminated.

A Tigerkin was surrounded by over a dozen wolves, and all of them were growling at him.

Several wolves lay on the ground, either unconscious, or groaning in pain due to their broken legs that made them unable to stand up.

Percival, who was completely surrounded, had a grin on his face because although he was outnumbered, he was confident that he would be able to defeat these wolves one by one without any problems.

His hands and feet were covered in golden flames, enhancing his speed, strength, agility, and dexterity.

Simply put, as long as he didn't stand still, it was nearly impossible for mere Rank 2 Monsters to land a blow on his body.

With a yelp of pain, the wolf nearest Percival was kicked in the chin, and was sent flying backwards.

The other wolves took this opportunity to lunge at the Tigerkin, but the latter casually dodged all the attacks, and delivered his own counterattack when an opportunity presented itself.

His attacks would either land on the wolves' head, jaw, or leg, rendering them unconscious, dead, or crippled.

After three years of following Thirteen, the Tigerkin had truly mastered his Martial Technique, Emperor's Might, which was created by a Lionkin, who wished to become the next King of Beasts.

Seeing that it was impossible to win, the Rank 2 Alpha Wolf howled, which signaled their retreat.

Percival, rubbed his nose and watched the wolves flee with their tails tucked between their legs.

At that exact moment, the Tigerkin heard a voice that was coming from behind him.

"Not bad, Taiga,' Thirteen said with a smile. "You did well."

"Of course, Master," Taiga replied before turning around to look at the ten-year-old, whom he had accompanied on a journey filled with ups and downs. "This much is nothi--".

Percival wasn't able to say the rest of his words because the moment he turned around to look at his Master, his gaze also landed on the beautiful young lady, standing beside him.

Shasha's body was glowing faintly in the moonlight, making her look surreal.

Her long blonde hair, and green eyes that looked similar to his Master, Zion, caught his attention, making him forget how to breathe for a few seconds.

Seeing his reaction, Thirteen couldn't help but chuckle inside his heart because it was very obvious that the Tigerkin had become one of the victims of his sister's beauty.
