Back then, my Abyssal essence had only granted Elara passage in and out of the Sovereign Grounds. Without a Wolf Core, she still could not receive a Celestial Rank.
Fenris had once considered taking my Primordial Wolf Core instead, but the core of an ancient Primordial Alpha was far more than a mortal body like Elara's could withstand. He'd been forced to abandon the idea.
It had taken him all these years of searching to finally find my master's Wolf Core, the perfect match for Elara.
My words landed, and understanding dawned across Fenris's face.
"Ah, so it's the Dawnveil Alpha's little pup. I was wondering who dared."
"I understand you're grieving, but there's no need to forge a false spirit wolf and impersonate the Primordial She-Wolf just to cause a scene."
He waved his hand with casual dismissal, his tone edged with impatience. "Enough. Considering your filial devotion, I'll let today's antics slide."
"Dismiss that fake spirit wolf of yours into the Soulfire Pit."
"Then go find Lord Yunhe at the Sovereign Grounds, pick whatever celestial rank catches your fancy, and stay out of trouble from now on."
With that, Fenris wrapped his arm around Elara's shoulders and turned to leave.
