?The next morning, Orion woke up feeling refreshed and ready to continue his journey. He looked over at hispanions, Nova and Ste, who were still sleeping soundly. He then put them back into his beast space.


    He decided to take a ride on Neb and explore the surrounding forest. As he approached Neb, the Serenity Forest Deer looked up and greeted him with a gentle nudge. Orion smiled and reached out to pat Neb''s head. "Good morning, my friend," he said. "Are you ready for a ride?"


    Neb nodded in response, and Orion climbed onto the deer''s back. He could feel the soft fur beneath him and the gentle swaying of Neb''s movements. It was a peaceful and serene experience, and he felt a deep connection with the natural world around him.


    Orion was in awe of Neb''s strength and speed. He had never ridden such a majestic creature before, and it was an experience he would never forget. As they moved deeper into the forest, Orion couldn''t help but feel a sense of peace and calm wash over him. The sound of the leaves rustling in the wind, the scent of the trees and flowers, and the gentle sway of Neb''s movements all contributed to the serene atmosphere.


    As they continued their journey, Orion couldn''t help but admire the beauty of the forest around him. The lush greenery, the vibrant flowers, and the asional glimpse of wildlife all added to the magic of the moment. He felt like he was in a different world, far removed from the chaos and stress of his previous life.


    Neb seemed to sense Orion''s thoughts and feelings, and the two of them moved in perfect harmony. It was as if they weremunicating through their movements, each understanding the other without the need for words.


    As they came to a clearing in the forest, Orion dismounted Neb and looked around, taking in the scenery. The clearing was surrounded by tall trees, their leaves casting dappled shadows on the ground. A small stream ran through the center of the clearing, and the sound of its babbling water was soothing to Orion''s ears.


    He sat down by the stream, taking a deep breath and letting the peaceful atmosphere wash over him. Neb wandered around the clearing, grazing on the grass and flowers that grew there. It was a moment of pure tranquility, and Orion felt grateful for the experience.


    Orion closed his eyes and let his senses fully absorb the natural surroundings. The sun shone down on his skin, warming it with its gentle rays. The sound of the stream and the rustling of the leaves in the wind provided a serene background melody. He breathed in the fresh air, rich with the scent of the forest, and felt himself rxpletely.


    As he opened his eyes, he noticed a family of deer quietly watching them from the edge of the clearing. The mother and father deer were grazing on the grass while the two fawns yed and chased each other around. Orion watched in amazement as Neb approached the deer family, and they seemed to recognize each other. They nuzzled each other gently, and the fawns even yed around Neb, jumping and running in circles around the majestic Serenity Forest Deer.


    Orion couldn''t believe what he was seeing. It was as if Neb was a part of this forest, a natural extension of the wildlife that called it home. He felt a deep respect and admiration for Neb''s connection to the natural world.


    While he was traversing the forest, Orion suddenly heard a voice from the forest. The voice was faint and distant, but Orion could still make out some words. He turned to Neb, who also seemed to have heard the voice. The deer looked around, its ears twitching as it listened.


    Orion tried to make out what the voice was saying, but it was too faint and distant to understand. He had a feeling that it might be someone or something in need of help, and he knew that he had to investigate.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Did you hear that, Neb?" Orion asked, his voice low and serious. "It sounded like someone was calling for help."


    Neb nodded, its eyes focused on the direction of the voice. Orion urged Neb forward, and they moved quickly through the forest, following the sound of the voice.


    As they drew closer, the voice became louder and clearer. Orion could hear the desperation and fear in the voice, and it only spurred him on to move faster.


    Finally, they reached the source of the voice, and what they saw made Orion''s heart sink. A man was standing in front of a woman, his face twisted in anger as he yelled at her. The woman was cowering, her arms wrapped around her body in a protective gesture.

    Orion dismounted Neb, his face set in a determined expression. "Hey!" he shouted, his voicemanding. "What do you think you''re doing?"


    The man turned to face Orion, his eyes narrowing as he took in the neer. "Who the hell are you?" he spat, his fists clenched at his sides.


    Orion stood his ground, unafraid. "I''m Orion," he said, his voice steady. "And this is Neb. We heard someone calling for help, and we came to see what was going on."


    The man snorted. "Mind your own damn business," he said, turning back to the woman. "This has nothing to do with you."


    Orion could see the fear in the woman''s eyes, and it only strengthened his resolve. "I think it has everything to do with me," he said firmly. "You''re harassing this woman, and that''s not eptable."


    The man took a step forward, his body tense. "I suggest you leave before I make you leave," he said, his voice low and menacing.


    Orion stood his ground, his eyes locked on the man. "I''m not leaving until you stop harassing this woman," he said, his voice unwavering to the man.
