Liora rushed to Luna's side. She then carefully wrapped her strong arms around Luna's shoulders.
She helped her rise to her feet. "Co on, Luna. You're tougher than this. Let's get you off your feet for a mont."
Luna nodded weakly, still catching her breath. Liora then took her to a nearby chair and let her sit down carefully on the chair.
Once seated, Luna relaxed her shoulders and loosened up her fists against her thighs as she steadied her breath.
Lucius picked up another chair and sat down in front of Luna. He looked at Luna and showed him the beast rings.
"What kind of beast do you want, Luna? A beast that will take you to the top... what does that look like in your eyes?" Lucius asked, his elbow resting on his knee.
Luna leaned back and cald her breathing. She looked at Lucius and began to explain to Lucius what kind of beast she wanted.
"Firstly... power. Without power, it will an nothing." Luna said, while raising and clenching one of her fists
Lucius smiled as he understood it. He leaned back and asked, "Power, yes. That's a foundation every beast must provide."
Lucius then showed her the beast rings again: "But all these beasts possess power to so degree. What else do you require?"
Luna paused and turned her head to the window. She looked at the moon that glowed outside and smiled.
"My talent is the Moon Goddess, so I want my beast to embody the moon—majestic and beautiful, but hidden. Like the shadows that cloak the night."
She turned back to Lucius and smirked. "I want it to strike from the darkness, unseen and unstoppable."
Lucius smirked after hearing her request. "Majestic and hidden, huh? I got a perfect beast for you."
He then put one of the beast rings right in front of Luna. "I think this beast will be the perfect one for you."
Luna looked at the beast ring and took it. She then let out the beast from the beast ring and soon a dark panther appeared from it.
The panther didn't do anything as Lucius already hacked it to be sleeping, so it would not make a ss when being summoned.
Lucius gestured to the panther. "This is a 3-Star Shadow Panther. It hides like the night itself, unseen until it strikes."
Lucius crouched down and rubbed it. "Even when sleeping, it carries majesty. Just like the moon you described."
Luna smiled and crouched down, rubbing the panther with her hands. She could feel the soft fur and decided that this was it.
"Master, I will take this one." Luna said as she continued to rub the panther.
Lucius smirked as he leaned back. "Good. Contract it then. Make it yours, Luna."
Luna nodded and began the process. She put her hand on its head and began to channel her own energy to contract it.
Lucius smiled as he turned to the system and told it to make the contract process easier for her.

Luna opened her eyes and smiled as the contract processing had finished, thanks to Lucius. "Master, I have contracted it."
Lucius nodded and smirked. "Well done, Luna, but we're not done yet."
He leaned forward. "Now that you have the beast, it's ti to evolve it and make it stronger."
Luna nodded and clenched her fist. "Yes, Master. I'm ready."
Lucius turned to his system. "Show the list of 4-Star evolutions available for the Shadow Panther."

Lucius smiled as he was satisfied with it. He turned to Luna and gestured toward the panther.
"This is your new beast, Luna. It's fur is silver like your hair and eyes. A perfect match for you."
Luna looked at the Silver Shadow Panther. She reached out and rubbed the soft silver-white fur.
"It's... magnificent. Not only is it strong but also majestic. Thank you, Master."
Lucius leaned back in his chair and smirked, "Do not thank yet, Luna. This is only the beginning."
The Silver Shadow Panther woke up. It imdiately recognized Luna as its master. It walked toward Luna and licked her hand.
Luna smiled and rubbed its cute face. She turned to Lucius. "Yes, Master. I will not let you down, Master."
Lucius nodded. He stood up and looked at the moon. "Your new tale begins now. Prove to and the world that you are worthy to be Moon Goddess."
Luna nodded and smiled. She kneeled down and promised herself to be the best.
Beside her, the Silver Shadow Panther sat proudly. It seed to understand what Luna wanted and roared.
Lucius turned around and smirked. He was satisfied. A new legend would appear and it was the legend of her maid.
