Chapter 132: Arriving

Orion and Selene arrived at the center of the island, where they came across a colossal phoenix. Its flaming feathers danced with an almost hypnotic glow, while a golden aura emanated around its majestic body.

"She is the Guardian of the Celestial Pantheon, my dear," Selene said, her eyes scanning the imposing creature.

"Why would they put a Guardian here?" Orion asked, curiosity evident in his voice.

Selene turned to him, her lips curving into a slight smile. "Well... there have been occasions when intruders have tried to enter."

Orion arched an eyebrow skeptically. "And what madman would try to invade a place inhabited by Gods?"

Selene hesitated for a moment, then shrugged. "Yeah, a good point, my dear."
