Shared traits - Egon's POV

Egon's eyes flared with incredulity.

It was evident that this was no ordinary child. The falcon, a creature of the wild, had responded to the boy's call with a loyalty that transcended mere training. What caught Egon's attention even more was the boy's strength; his arm easily bore the weight of the falcon that was half the boy's size.

It was impossible.

'Look at his wrist,' Andreas communicated telepathically.

Egon's gaze shifted downward, and his eyes widened further. There, on the boy's wrist, was a one-of-a-kind stone that Egon had thought he would never see again. It was no longer in its original brooch shape; instead, it had been incorporated into a sophisticated design on a wristband that encircled the boy's arm. Before Egon could examine it further, the boy turned his back to the two men and focused on rewarding the falcon with a treat from his pocket.
