Within 6 months, the monarchs would transform their kingdom into an ideal one. Along with Thorren and Sifline, Titian, Tian, and Dolly would become knights. Through King Cerveras' leadership and queen Apalla's intelligence, the kingdom of Eukaryona would become the kingdom both rulers wanted, through their different principles they adapted to their beliefs, both gaining an understanding to their principals. The animals would thrive and no longer feel struggles, diseases would be cured, and everyone had a shelter.

To commemorate this milestone, Queen Apalla would have the ship where she gained her knowledge from become a monument. The ship was located 30 feet from the docks, making it really close to the kingdom. She and King Cerveras called for an event to honor the 6 months of progress this Kingdom has made since its early beginnings.

Joining the monarchs were Titian, Tian, and Dolly who would oversee this historic monument as their duty as knights. Thorren and Sifline were given a few days off since their baby is about to hatch, not to mention the other knights had experience with kids.

Two weeks before the event, Thorren and Sifline appeared at the throne, hoping to speak with their monarchs. At the Throne room were Dolly, Tian, and Titian who have officially became knights.

King Cerveras: Ah Thorren and Sifline, what brings you here my friends.

Thorren (Kneeling before his king): Your Royal Highness, we have urgent news, we are afraid we need to take a weeks long break. Our son is almost born,

Sifline (Kneeling as well): It's true your highness, Freline is away learning designs with designer Lola Sheep, and we do not want to have Anthron take too much responsibility. With our biggest regrets, we will not be able to attend the opening of your event.

Queen Apalla (Understanding): Please Rise, there is no need to be sorry, both of you deserve some time off. After all we have three new knights now. Especially since they also have children of their own. Please tell them about your kids.

Titian: It is true, my son Masaccio is a wild one, he always wants to talk all day about becoming a knight. My wife Mona keeps telling me how much he aspires to be like me and become a knight, I'll think about passing the torch when it is time.

Tian (Laughing): wait till you meet my daughter Nita, she is always causing chaos in the house, her mom cooks and she tries to help but often makes a mess. Mei adores her chaos and reminds her of when she was that age. Not to mention Zebron, he is a nice kid, but his dad needs to find a purpose, which is why Mei has offered to take care of Zebron on days so Zebrak could get some time to relax, especially now that I have become a knight.

Queen Apalla grew sad to hear Zebrak, he was more hurt about Zebrella's passing then her or Sifline, both Sifline and Queen Apalla gave him a saddened look.

Queen Apalla: It's not easy for him, he lost a part of his world, just promise to be understanding.

King Cerveras: Perhaps I could be of support; he just needs a push. Maybe with some help from me, he will find a purpose. And hopefully move on, he needs to understand that we are all here for him.

Queen Apalla: It's true my king, what about you Dolly, thoughts on anything.

Dolly: I understand Zebrak's pain, My mom died from the diseases when I was Freline's age and I was a young teenager alone until I met Angel. I cannot imagine losing Angel, She and I have been together through the hard times, its why we decided to adopt one of the orphans. a boy dove named Jonas. I would die for them if it meant protecting them. Jonas is a rather quiet kid, he is always nervous around others, but he sees his mom protecting him inspires him. Maybe he will grow comfortable with others his age eventually.

King Cerveras: what we want to say is that you are free to do what you please, you have three knights to take your responsibilities. They all understand you both, go now, don't worry much about Zebrak, we will take care of him.

Both eagle parents bowed and were about to leave

King Cerveras: before you go…..May I ask what is the baby's name?

Thorren and Sifline: Asgaarth

King Cerveras: Let Queen Apalla know when he hatches, she wants to bless him when he is born. Its only fair since you both have a strong sisterhood now.

Sifline: Of course.

Queen Apalla was excited to meet Asgaarth, but first she needed to complete this exhibit, and it was more clear after king Cerveras did his famous roar.

Queen Apalla: Attention Everyone! I would like to commemorate this historic event by honoring this important landmark. This landmark is very special, without it, we would not be where we are all at currently.

The crowd cheered in unison.

King Cerveras: Much has changed and with more progress along the way, this serves as a milestone for this kingdom's growth. It is with great pleasure that we unveil Eukaryona's newest landmark, the Ark.

The ark stood in its glory, it was a big brown wooden ship, the deck remained intact with its cannons and flags. The captain's wheel had small chips but still seems to function well. The inside of the ship was a small room filled with pictures of the Edenian castle and other regions and neighboring villages or Edenia. There was another room filled with books, this was where Apalla found the books and Eukaryona's history. And lastly a large room with cages, it seems to have been abandoned, however it caused some unsettling feelings of déjà vu towards some of the older citizens. Regardless it is a historic piece of Eukaryona.

The showing came to an end especially with the rules that no one is to be by the docks at nightfall. Everyone that showed up went home as well as the knights and monarchs who all went their separate ways and departed.

Just as monarchs stepped foot in their castle.

Thorren: Your Majesty, its time, ready to meet Asgaarth!

Queen Apalla was eager to hear the news, with a nod from King Cerveras, Thorren carried Apalla as they flew to his house.

King Cerveras: Be careful and come back soon!

Queen Apalla saw the night sky become a dark purple and the glowing stars

Thorren: Surreal is it not?

Queen Apalla: Breath taking, like a dream come true.

The duo landed at a tree home which was high in the sky, there were stairs that could let others get inside the home, however Queen Apalla gets an exemption as queen.

Thorren: Honey, I brought the queen.

Sifline: your majesty! Please come in, I'm so happy you are here.

Queen Apalla: Of course, I wanted to meet Asgaarth.

Sifline: Anything you need before we begin your highness?

Queen Apalla: just some water

Thorren: of course

in one of the classes, Titian taught his students and older citizens how to store water, make fires, and creating pottery. As a side hobby, Thorren created ceramic objects including dishes, bowls, and containers from clay and placed them in the fire to make it last longer. He was quite a craftsman. He grabbed one of his handmade cups and flew to the branch that held the water. After grabbing the water, he gave it to the queen.

Queen Apalla: thank you Thorren.

Thorren: My pleasure my queen,

Sifline went to grab Asgaarth from his wooden nest.

Sifline: Thank you My Queen for this opportunity.

Queen Apalla: Please Sifline you may call me Apalla when its just us, especially since you are my best friend. (Looking at Asgaarth and smiling) Asgaarth is going to be the best of both of you (motioning to Thorren as well) his father's bravery and his mother's honor.

Sifline: and her speed.

The women laughed.

Thorren: Still not going to let that down.

Sifline: Nope its true, right Asgaarth.

Asgaarth chirped in response.

Queen Apalla then placed her paw on a piece of wood and began the blessing,

Queen Apalla: Asgaarth, I welcome you to the kingdom of Eukaryona, you are the son of Thorren and Sifline, younger brother of Freline and Anthron. Join our Kingdom and become one of us.

She placed her paw print on Asgaarth and poured water from her cup onto Asgaarth. The blessing was complete.

After the ritual was over, Asgaarth was put to sleep and the parents chatted for a bit, before Thorren took Queen Apalla to the castle.

From that point on every baby born in Eukaryona would be blessed just like Asgaarth, it was tradition to the kingdom. the rulers would participate in parties and bless their inhabitants' babies. While the kingdom enjoyed this new tradition, King Cerveras decided to pay Zebrak a visit.

King Cerveras walked to the home of Zebrak, it was a small wooden home with hay on the roof and had 4 rooms.

King Cerveras: Zebrak, its me, King Cerveras, you got a minute.

Zebrak: Your highness, please come in, what seems to be the issue, did I mess up, don't kick me and Zebron out.

King Cerveras: Relax, I mean no harm, everyone is concerned about you, everyone has been reaching out, your friends as well.

Zebrak: Oh I'm fine, see..

King Cerveras looked at zebrak's face, his eyes were red, likely crying recently. He needed to help Zebrak.

King Cerveras: please Zebrak, this is not good for you, we all want to help you but we cannot if you do not open out to us.

Zebrak (Sobing): Why! She is gone, no one can bring her back. I miss her your highness… no one understands that I have a kid with no mom.

King Cerveras: you are right, I can never understand what you are going through…(Places his hand on Zebrak's shoulder).. However, I would like to understand your perception.

Zebrak: I feel empty inside is what, having to go through everyday and telling Zebron how much his mom loved him. It hurts because…I have no one who will listen.

King Cerveras: Zebrak…

Zebrak: It's not just that, everyone is looking at me when I'm going at the shops complaining I'm a terrible father for not being as courageous as Thorren or Titian.

King Cerveras: It's true because you are your own person. You are raising a child and going through a loss, that is two battles. Guess what, you are better than them because you are strong-minded.

Zebrak: how so?

King Cerveras: you have the will to raise your son, you continue to go forward because of Zebron. He needs you Zebrak, he needs his dad in his life. He may have some parental figures in Mei and Tian, but he needs you.

Zebrak: Zebron is braver than I am, how is he handling this better than me,

King Cerveras: because he has you in his life, he knows that he is not alone, neither are you my friend.

Zebrak: really?

King Cerveras: yes you have me, your king, Queen Apalla, your queen, and all the knights are your friends. But most of all, your son. Together you are strong.

Zebrak: Then its time I be there for Zebron, listen your highness, I'm joining the knights to protect Zebron as well as the many faced of Eukaryona.

King Cerveras: that is your choice, you are free to do what you wish.

Zebrak: and I stay by it, its time I make a change for myself.

By 3 months, the knights would grow in numbers this included Taos the peacock, who would join the knights to not only have a medic on the team but repay his debt to the king and queen. Zebrak who gained newfound confidence and a drive to protect his son, hoping to be an inspirational father to him. And lastly two new recruits, Tiger siblings Tigra and Tyrone, teenagers who joined the group who look up to their monarchs and hoping to serve their idols.

Within a week the group would settle and develop a strong bond, their bond would be put to the test when a hippo arrived at the throne room

Hippo: My name is Fortis, I wanted to ask if I could join the group, I may have some useful skills I like to share.

Sifline: of course! We are always looking for members, what are your skills.

Fortis: I have incredible strength, not to mention the king has tasked me to train you this upcoming week.

King Cerveras: I see we have quite a group of knights, all of you will enter intense training to become proper knights. And so will I as king to be protect us all.

Fortis: Let the training begin!
