"Daddy!" a little girl with brown hair and green eyes dressed in green ran over towards Eagle as he returned to the school hall and gave him a hug.
Eagle carried the little girl and said, "I will never leave you again".
"Welcome back, Eagle. Its been a while", a familiar voice spoke.
"M-mads?"
"It is me alright. Did you forget me this quick?" she asked before running from the main door over Eagle embracing him. "Welcome to the School of Parádeisos".
Mads placed her right index finger on Eagle's lips before he could say one word. "No need to apologize. Let the past stay in the past. It's water under the bridge now. We will start all over as friends once more. I am not interested in getting married to anyone at the moment but you are free to see our daughter anytime you like. Don't let the past burden you. It is over. Everything. We are new creatures". She gave Eagle a smile which shows that her is no longer the same person he knew at high school and after graduation.
"Thank you". Eagle smiled gratefully.
"My pleasure".
"May I know the colour of your egg?"
"It is royal blue. It has hatched and become a beautiful royal blue eagle. What about yours?"
"Bright green". Eagle laughed.
"Somethings never change do they". Mads broke out laughing. Their daughter laughing along.
"Glad to see you here, Eagle", Mona who had been watching them from a far came close.
"You are?"
"I am Mona and Norman is my husband. Took you a while to recognized me, didn't you?" The brown haired woman with brown eyes asked.
"How long ..........?"
"For five years now, Eagle. We have two twin boys with brown eyes. They look just like their father and are slightly older than your daughter".
"Where do you live now?" Eagle turned back to converse with Mads.
"I still live with Sarah and she too has become an eagle rider. She is probably in the backyard making sure her yellow eagle is well fed".
"How do we nuture our egg?"
"Just placed it under some hay and keep it warm wherever you go. I am sure your pockets are warm enough, aren't they?" Mads spoke to Eagle who was wearing a thick jacket which had a few pockets, one where the bright green egg was kept.
"Wow, everybody has changed. Does Sarah still have a spare room?" Eagle asked looking tired.
"You room will be in the green building in the School of Parádeisos. From today onwards, you are a permenant resident here. You will be meeting up other eagle riders shortly", Norman spoke up.
"As I said, you are still welcome to come a visit us anytime you like. To meet our daughter and be a father to her", Mads spoke up before heading to the backyard to look for Sarah.

"Let me take you to your room", Norman said.
The blue haired man and his wife led Eagle to him room which was on the seventh floor. The unit had a similar structure to his unit back in the School of the Beast but it was twice as large with a few more sofas as well as a green lounge.
"Please select a room. The other two rooms are not occupied yet but they soon will be. We will leave you to your own devices for now". Norman headed out the door with his wife.
Eagle took a look at every room and noticed they all had a bed, a matress, and a green blanket prepared. All the resources that were provided in his school unit were provided in each of these rooms too. Eagle choose the 3rd room and fell asleep after arranging his stuff as he did back in high school.
"It feels like school all over again", Eagle thought to himself before falling asleep. He had a dream that he was riding a giant green eagle and holding a green diamond sword before waking up.
He saw a leftlet on his table which was left by Norman because of his signature. "If you ever think anything is the same, it is not. All things are new".
Eagle read a section about the diamond swords and he immediately ran to the backyard only to discover that everyone had gone home or returned to their accomodations. The only two people left were Norman and Mona who were feeding their respective neon blue eagles.
"Hi there, Eagle, how may we help you?"
"I just have one question. How do I get my green diamond sword?" Eagle asked with a smirk.
"The swords which will be given to you are from planet Diamond which has been destroyed by the last male blue ice bear which became one with the last blue star. It seems the legandary Isbjorn Daelander has managed to salvage remnants of diamonds from every colour before the destruction of the planet", Norman answered Eagle's question.
"But when?"
"Focus on looking after that egg and after it hatches, you have another three months to look after it and grow it".
"Where do these eagles come from?"
"They come from planet Diamond which has a gravity 110 times that of Earthos. Since the gravity here is light, the eagles are able to grow much larger than they are back in their original planet".
"I don't see any of these eagles having the gift of speech and reason".
"They don't. Long ago, the King of Paradeisos brought some dead eggs to Earthos way before it was populated by mankind and gave life to them the moment the School had been set up. Each egg has a life of its own and is waiting for to have an owner before hatching. No they don't have the gift of speech and reason but they are only as strong as the person who takes care of them. Take care of your egg and your eagle will serve you well. You will not be disappointed".
