Winterseed -XVIII-
Rowan, oblivious to the plot building up against him in Glenwood Village, continued staring at Blaze with a blank expression on his face while Blaze stared back with anger evident in his face.
"So what kind of food should I feed you with?" Rowan asked curiously, as he really had no idea what he was going to feed his pet with.
As if understanding his question, Blaze's furious gaze became even more intense. It let out a soft but furious growl and then lunged at Rowan's hand, trying to bite him, but its small teeth barely touched Rowan's skin.
Rowan held Blaze up and just stared at it while it flailed in the air, squeaking and swiping its little claws, trying hard to reach him but failing.
"Calm down, little guy. I will get something for you to eat very soon! Alright? Your popsy is very poor right now, but you should be happy I still took you in and did not throw you away like some scumbag dads."
Despite Rowan's words, Blaze continued to swipe its little claws in the air angrily. At this moment, Rowan realized he would go through a whole lot of drama with Blaze, and he was ready for it.
After a few minutes of flailing and fussing, Blaze finally settled down, reluctantly allowing Rowan to cradle it in his arms, but it was still very annoyed.
In truth, it wasn't really that hungry; after hatching, all divine beasts receive a sustainable amount of nutrition that sustains them for a really long time before they can fend for themselves, especially the flesh-eating divine beasts—Blaze was simply acting too much.
Rowan patted Blaze's head, but instead of getting a calm and lovable reaction, he almost got his fingers bitten by his mischievous toothless pet.
He could only nod his head and proceed with opening his mystery cards, hoping to get a better reward.

Seeing this one made Rowan frown as he didn't get any sort of special rewards like the first two.
He wondered if the rest would be like this.

"Damnit." Rowan cussed out inaudibly.
At this point, he began to lose hope that the next and final round of mystery cards would contain anything useful.
What he needed the most at this moment are blueprints, so he would be able to use the crude irons in his possession.
Rowan would also appreciate some sort of fertilizers or maybe raw material for clothing, but that is very unlikely to come out of a basic-grade mystery card.
Before opening the final round, he prayed in his heart to whosoever controls his luck to bless him with good luck.
"Reveal the last set," he commanded and watched with hopeful eyes as the rewards were revealed before him.

Seeing the rewards, his expression dampened as there was no blueprint among it. He was really hoping to get one.
However, on a second thought, these rewards were actually good, especially the glowing green pills hovering in the air ahead of him.
Even Blaze looked especially excited as he saw the green pills floating in the air, his eyes widened greedily and a single line of drool slid down from its mouth.
[ Food pill (Basic-grade): A very good nutrition for divine beasts. When eaten, it prevents hunger for twenty-four hours. ]
Twenty-four hours per pill wasn't that bad, with this time and the amount of pill Rowan has, he wouldn't have to worry about feeding Blaze for at least five days. Coincidentally, those five days were all he had to prepare before the next arrival of the Glenwood soldiers. It felt as though the cards had reserved these rewards just for him.
*Growl*
Blaze started growling hungrily at the sight of the food pill.
Rowan, noticing its reaction, had no choice but to feed it one.
He took one of the food pills, saving the others along with the swords in his inventory.
He tossed the pill into the air, and Blaze quickly leapt from his arms to catch it midair, landing softly on the bed. It began devouring the pill almost immediately, an ecstatic look on its face.
After finishing the pill, Blaze lay on the bed, twisting its body as if asking Rowan to pick it up.
When Rowan saw this, he couldn't help but feel a strong urge to starve his mischievous pet. Earlier, it had protested when he tried to carry it, but now that it was full, it wanted him to pick it up.
Blaze kept rolling on the bed and even let out soft and cute growls, trying even harder to make Rowan pick it up.
Rowan scoffed and opened the divine beast plain, a blue-colored swirling portal suddenly appeared beneath Blaze.
Before Blaze could even protest, it was swallowed by the portal and was transferred into the divine beast plain.
Through the sensory link, Rowan could see the beast plain through Blaze's eyes. It was breathtakingly beautiful, a vast expanse of nature that seemed untouched by time.
It was a very vast and beautiful natural habitat with tall trees and beautiful carpet grasses that crawled on the surface. From Blaze's vision, Rowan could see a big river flowing and a tall mountain far away.
If Rowan should approximate the size of this place based on what he has seen, this place should be as big as the smallest continent on earth.
As Rowan was observing through Blaze, he noticed that Blaze had already gotten used to the new place and was jumping around happily.
Wasting no time, he called off the sensory link and proceeded to have a nice rest. This night has been the busiest since he transmigrated. There would be other harsher nights but he was sure he would be strong enough by then.
