The Eight Guardian Beasts

Under the hawkish gaze of the Chakra Sage Ancestor of the Nian Clan, the Contract was signed successfully.

Though everything seemed to have gone smoothly, it only happened because of the Judgment Feather of the Heavenly Horse. When Ikasa thought back to the awe and respect shown by the Tribe Leaders towards a simple feather, he could not help but grow curious about it. 

Luckily, he had the most authoritative elder, the ancestor of the Nian Clan, to address his curiosity. He would be a fool if he did not take this chance to uncover some mysteries. 

'As Confucius said, "He who asks a question is a fool for a moment, but he who does not ask questions is a fool for lifetime."'

Ikasa thought and turned to the Elderly man. He had many questions but he started with a simple one. 

"Elder, what does being judged to be 'worthy' means? What am I worthy of?" 

"Trust."
