CH177 Companions

Udara and Fen stood awkwardly nearby, watching Alex crouch beside the Nightmare Eagle's corpse.
His shoulders trembled.
'Is he… crying?'
Neither of them could make sense of it. Who could blame them?
They didn't know who Senu was.
The cool hooded roguish-noble attire, the wristblade, the leap of fate... Alex had crossed off almost every item on the list of what makes a Brotherhood member. All that was left…
An eagle companion!
And the Nightmare Eagle had ticked all the right boxes.
Vision. Strength. Intelligence. And, above all—potential.
Unlike most avian beasts, the Nightmare Eagle didn't need atavism to evolve beyond its limits. It just had to live long enough—fighting, devouring, surviving—and it could ascend to the Legendary Realm.
In fact, the Nightmare Eagle had a higher chance of reaching the Legendary Rank than… maybe even Alex.
…Eh. No, scratch that.
[A.N: MC Halo and all that.]
It definitely had a better chance than Fen.
