The cold wind blew, and the trees shook lightly, As if dancing in happiness to the melody of the wind. As their leaves hit each other, they acted as other instruments, which only made it more pleasing to hear. The little bugs became the singers, and like this, the band of the forest started playing the song of nature.
In the area filled with colorful trees that were glowing radiantly, Their reflection appeared on the surface of the pond near it. This area had a soul-soothing smell that could make anyone's mood better. Big butterflies of all colors could be seen dancing around.
A giant, eight-foot creature could be seen in the middle of the pond, Its body full of scales, while the area between them was shining Violet. On its back, two figures could be seen: A boy and a girl holding hands. They looked in different directions, their feet touching the cold water on the surface.
The atmosphere around them was changing. As the orb of fire started appearing over the Horizon. The area around them became even more beautiful, and they both looked at it, their eyes shining brightly. This moment looked magical, straight out of a fairy tale.
Slowly, their shoulders met, and the girl's head supported itself on the boy's hand as if it were the best pillow in the world. They both felt the moment and captured it in the depths of their hearts. That was not enough for Rishi; he regretted not bringing his camera with him.
Like most of the equipment, his Smartphone didn't work properly inside the dungeon. Most of the Adventures purchased special cameras that worked inside the dungeon. He looked at the girl enjoying her time and asked, "Kajal, do you have a camera?"
For some time, the girl was lost in the moment and didn't hear him properly, but when he asked again, it was as if a spell had been broken. She came to her senses and looked at him, a little pissed, but when she saw him looking at her like that, she was not able to get angry with him.
She searched her Storage ring for it. Most Beast Tamers carried them to record if they discovered something new. She brought out her brand new Camera, which she had not used much. She never discovered something unusual or had many friends, so she didn't use it much.
Rishi looked at the Camera. It was a pink camera with a cute cat on it. He snatched it from her hands and started playing with it. He was checking out how it worked; it took him some time, even after activating Extreme Focus, but he learned everything about it.
His hand released a lot of black smoke. With his eyes shining golden, he created its structure and decided its design in seconds. A cute black-colored fluffy cat appeared with violet-colored big eyes. It had cute wings attached to it that made it look Adorable.
He then used his knowledge of 'Shadow Curse' and 'Magic Rune' to make it learn how to operate the Camera. At first, Kajal was surprised at how he ignored her, but she looked at him out of curiosity. She looked at him, pressing random buttons and looking around the Camera.
She was confused by what he was doing. Was what he was doing more important than enjoying this magical scene or being with her? She understood his intentions only after he handed the Camera to the cute Cat with feathers.
The Cat went a little away from them and started clicking pictures. Rishi looked at her and said, "Come on, give a good pose." They started posing, and the Cat moved around them, capturing many pictures from different angles. It continued for some time before they got bored.
Rishi called the Cat and started looking at the pictures. The Camera looked expensive. Its AI was good; It captured many beautiful pictures. A smile appeared on his face as he went through them. Some pictures were so beautiful that he wanted to get them framed.
Kajal saw him looking at them by himself and enjoying them as if she were not present there. She took the Camera from him and stared at them all by herself. Even she was surprised that they looked beautiful. She brought the cute-looking Cat into her embrace and petted it. This looked similar to the one on the Camera.
Time passed, and they both decided to freshen up before preparing breakfast together. The Shadow Salamander started moving them toward their shelter. Rishi said, "I never had this much fun; what about you? Did you enjoy it?"
A smile appeared on Kajal's face. Still hugging the cute Cat, she said, "I enjoyed it. I never thought riding a powerful Beast would be so much fun."
"It's just the start. We still had many things to do. I want to ride on the Wyrm Beast with you; I also want to ride a giant wyvern." Rishi said this with excitement. He was having fun. Riding these strong beasts with Kajal and enjoying the scenery It looked fun to him.
Kajal was also smiling, but then she quietly asked, "I have some questions?"
"Ask anything; I am happy right now," said Rishi.
"How can you make Epic Stage Beasts into your summons?" She asked in a curious tone. She wanted to ask it long ago but never got a moment to ask.
"It's nothing much; just think as if some power in this Realm is assisting me when doing it. I can't do it anywhere outside this Realm so easily; I am still doing my research and may be able to create low-epic stage summons," replied Rishi honestly, not hiding much from her.
When she listened to him, she understood what he was talking about. She asked him some more questions that she was curious about. What Rishi had shown her shocked her to the core. She asked, "Do you have a talent for Shadow manipulation?"
A silence descended for a while; only the footsteps of the Beast could be heard. Rishi thought for a moment before replying, No."
Kajal thought that he was lying again. It was impossible to do something like that with Element without it, no matter how great your control is. She decided to forget it; everyone had their secrets.
"If it was someone else, I would not have said anything, but because you are curious, I would share some detail. It is not exactly Shadow manipulation, but its strength equals mid-level Shadow Manipulation."
After hearing it, Kajal was further surprised. She had guessed that he might have low-level elemental Manipulation. She had only heard about it; this ability was too rare, and it was even harder to have it for an element like Shadow. If what he said was right, he had a bright future.
"What do you want to do in the future?" She asked; with a potential like that, she was curious what he would want to do.
Rishi thought for a moment before laughing, "I never thought that much about it; I just want to become strong so I have the strength to protect those who I care for. I will also like to become a Ranker and reach the top."
He said this, pointing his finger towards the sky and looking at it. Kajal heard him and controlled her laughter. It was not that she wanted to make fun of him; the way he said it was just too much for her.
