Inside a cave of the Great Boa forest, there sat 2 figures. One of the figures reached an astonishing height of 2.2 meters. The other figure seemed like an ant in comparison.

 The giant figure was the colossal bear who had turned into a burly man. The other was of course the figure of the Panda cub, who had turned into a human baby. They stared at each other for awhile before the baby started to suddenly cry.

“Uwaaaa! Uwaaaa!”

 The burly man suddenly panicked, it was obvious that he had never taken care of a child before. He, the great ruler of the Boa forest would have never thought that he would be suddenly pushed into taking care of a baby.

 Boa is a Giant Tremor Bear, he grew up as an elite in the “Boa” forest. He was meant to be the king of this forest. After defeating his father, Boa was finally recognized as the new king of the forest. Thus, the new king of the forest named it after himself, But this was all in the past. How could he have known that because of their ridiculous tradition, the Giant Tremor Bears would nearly go extinct. This lead to him being the last of his kind for the past 5 thousand years. In the past, Boa had sought out to bring up his species to prominence once again. But the bloodline of the Giant Tremor Bear was too powerful for other bears to contain. This made childbirth impossible for other bears who had received his seed. Boa gave up after 3 thousand years of giving his seed to many other bears.

Now that Boa was tasked with taking care of a baby, he was absolutely in a dilemma. A thought suddenly popped up in his mind and he stood after picking up the baby. He quickly rushed out of the cave with the baby cradled in his arms.

 They soon arrived at a prairie that was within the outskirts of the great Boa forest.   

The prairie was brimming with life. It contained cows, goats, chickens, and many other livestock animals. Boa quickly took one of the goats and subdued it. He took the crying baby in his arms and shoved it’s mouth into the nipples of the goat.

The crying stopped immediately as the baby started sucking. Delight and satisfaction could be seen on both the man and baby’s face.

 The baby burped loudly as he finished his meal. Boa noticed and lightly laughed. He held the baby up towards the sky. The setting sun was overshadowed by the baby’s figure.

“Since I have already taken you under my care, you will now officially be my adopted son. Under this setting sun, under the heavens, and with the help of fate, I swear on my name and honor that I will take care of you. June.. Your name shall be June from now on. If fate wills it, may your name guide you to be a joyful person.”

Boa’s gruff voice scared June but when he heard his name, he laughed with joy.

“June! June! June!” Boa called out June’s name playfully while throwing him up into the air to only catch him as he came down.

  June laughed while he was being played with. Boa smiled and caught June one last time. The sun had already set and the red sky from before was now replaced with a sky full of stars. It was already time to head back to the cave. Boa held June in his arms once again and after confirming the baby’s safety, Boa started to move.

 In the blink of an eye, they reappeared in the cave that they were in before. Boa played with June again until he fell asleep. After carefully placing June on his chest, he slowly fell asleep too.

  Slowly but surely, June had grown with time. On the sixth month, June had begun to crawl. Boa was very delighted when he saw June’s progress.

 Only after a day since June had begun to crawl, an anomaly occurred. It was when June was trying to become more efficient at crawling. Boa was laughing as he watching June struggle. It was only a few seconds but the white and dark lights that emitted from June’s body made Boa cautious. He noticed that there were more white lights than dark lights but it wasn’t the time to dawdle. Boa quickly appeared next to June as soon as the lights had shown.

He quickly picked up June and inspected the boy’s body but to his comfort, he had found nothing wrong. He sighed in relief as he let June down to crawl again. If something had happened to June without him knowing, he would have died with shame.

 June had begun to walk in another six months. The lights had shown themselves once again, but this time, it was different. After the lights had disappeared, June transformed back into a panda.

  During June’s time as a panda, the surface of his chest had created a mark. It was a circle that had formed in the middle of his chest. The top half side was a dark line while the bottom half side was white.

When the mark was finished, June returned back to being a human. Boa was watching all of this occur on the side with amazement in his eyes. He had deemed that the process of June emitting white and black light was nothing harmful so he had stood on the side and watched.

 When June had suddenly turned back to a panda he almost checked June again for any problems but he stopped himself. Something was telling him that this was not dangerous.

 Boa thought back to the time when he first met June. He was going for a walk and he found a panda cub who had descended with a ray of light. He was intrigued at this baby panda who had descended from the sky.

 He had already known about different planes, so he suspected that the panda cub had came from a different plane of existence. As a cultivator, he knew that one day he would ascend to a higher plane too. In this world, Boa was the peak of what a cultivator could achieve before ascending.

 The time of his ascension would be soon, so before that, he wanted to take care of June and make sure that June would survive without many problems.  

 He looked at the sleeping June who had just finished his transformation to human form and then looked outside towards the starry sky.

“Maybe it was fate that I had met him that day. I had wished to be a father and raise my own child long ago. Although it isn’t exactly the same, what more can I wish for when I am close to ascending.”

After a moment of silence, Boa walked back towards June and laid down beside him. His eyes feeling heavy as he went into a deep sleep.
