    Elder Pine couldn''t help but feel a mixture of emotions as he beheld the magnificent form of Ste. 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 Ste, 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 Ste, to understand the reasoning behind his choice.


    Before the intense battle between Aiden and Orion couldmence, Elder Pine decided to intervene. The old man raised his hand, signaling for a brief pause in the proceedings.

    "Orion," Elder Pine began, his voice firm yet measured, "your connection with Ste, 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?"

He knew the appearance of Ste, 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," he started, "I understand your concerns regarding Orion''s choice ofpanion, and your dedication to upholding the values of our Sect is trulymendable. 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 Ste, 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 Ste 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 Ste 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 Ste 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.
