So it can be said that this is the last chapter of the prologue. Well at least after this everything will start to get more serious and go faster. So for those who have been waiting patiently for some real action (no I'm not just talking about a simple short chapter with a few exchanges with some Omega Devourers) I'm talking about about the introduction of new characters, the use of Essence in this world the outer boundaries and so on. Stay tuned for the ride, because any ride I start on is planned to last a long time.

As Kovinth was about to retort the actions of their actions, Osena gave him a smile. But because of this smile he wasn’t able to even open his mouth. He could tell from show of fangs, that if he argued about she would test whether his scales or her teeth would win. They had traveled the universe together for many years, there was no way he didn’t know of the strength of her teeth. The ice cold teeth that could shatter maybe even the Walls of the End. His defense was something he was incredibly proud of and he could even argue he had some of the toughest scales in the universe but in front of her?
He wouldn’t dare to let her bite him. As such he turned slightly red at the idea of being known as her husband by Owen. Not being able to handle the embarrassment he quickly disappeared. Osena closed her lips and gave a slight grin, afterwards she thought to herself.
‘This is why I can never stop teasing you, oh mighty Sun-Dragon.’
Although she was thinking this she let out a sweet giggle that filled the room with the sounds of a beautiful laughter. It wasn’t to the point of her stomach hurting but a tear did well up in the sides of her eyes. Owen on the other hand stood there. That was all he could do. He felt a little awkward, he also felt that his Master’s actions were a little funny, but only a little bit, because he was sure that his Master would get revenge on him. It wouldn’t be anything terrible but he might not cook him a delicious meal and Owen knew how terrible of a punishment that was because surprisingly Kovinth was an amazing cook.
‘Maybe that’s why this lady chases Master. The headmaster always told me no matter what, always listen to a woman but if you wish to win her over it’s always by her stomach. After all a woman loves a man who can cook.’
Owen look over to Osena, after coming to a conclusion he nodded and started to ponder again.
‘Hmm sounds logical, very logical, yes, yes indeed, should I get Master to teach me how to cook? Hmmm, this, this might be a good idea. I don’t have any redeeming qualities after all. Hmm yes very logical.’
Owen came to a final conclusion. He would become a cooking Master and a Pathwalker taught from his Master. It was like killing two birds with one stone. How could he lose this opportunity. Although love was not top priority for Owen. There was never a boy who didn’t want to fall in love. He was no different, it was just he wouldn’t go searching actively for his future lover.

Meanwhile Osena was staring at Owen and on numerous occasions wanted to start a conversation with him. But she felt that instinctively he was thinking of a very important concept.
‘Maybe he’s having some sort of breakthrough?’
She couldn’t help but think to herself. Owen’s expression at this moment was deadly serious, a conclusion such as that was sound. Seeing this deep concentration Osena decided to wait patiently.
After a few more moments of silence Owen finally nodded himself out of his concentration and looked towards Osena. Maybe because he understood she was waiting for him, he bowed slightly and spoke.
“I greet Lady Osena.”
Osena was deeply impressed by his utmost respect. Although she saw a glimpse of it earlier, she now knew sort of person Owen was by watching him for just a few moments. He was immensely smart and knew exactly how to respond in key moments, especially when she sent a string of Essence towards him which gave him that instinctive feeling he had to agree and point at Kovinth. He was stubborn as his Master, but wasn’t even a tenth as lazy as him. She could only start to imagine how far this boy would go. After a quick thought she waved her hand and responded to Owen.
“There is no need for formalities between us. Although I said he was my husband, he isn’t yet.”
Owen ignored the word ‘yet’ and waited for her to continue. Osena smirked once again and continue to explain her reason for appearing in front of him.
“You have one more week until the first Pavilion opens up. At that time you need to finish up here and leave.”
Osena looked reluctant as she wanted to ask about his Sky Boundary Block, but she knew that was overstepping her bounds, as Kovinth wouldn’t tell anyone but her, she would respect this trust and not dwell into it further.
‘The boy himself will soon realize what he can do. I shouldn’t hasten that progress.’
Owen nodded and immediately after Osena departed. Coincidentally, the moment she departed Kovinth reappeared and asked as if he didn’t already know.
“Did she leave?”
Owen once again nodded but because he had a question of his own he spoke calmly with a serious expression.
“Master can you teach me how to cook.”
“Huh?”
