Meeting

Alex teleported to the center of the Beast Paradise, arriving somewhere west of where Pearl was. Pearl was close enough that he could sense him now.

Following the bond, Alex went in the direction of Pearl, arriving outside the Lion Colony. Alex quickly met up with Pearl and the Golden Lion, getting their share of news about what had happened here in the past week that he had been gone.

Once Alex had left, Pearl had become the true ruler of the Eastern Continent, now making decisions for everything. However, after just 2 days of doing that, he had come to understand that ruling was not for him

Instead, he decided to leave that task to whoever was better at it. On the human side of things, he let the humans deal with it. On the beast's side, it had already been working on its own, so he let the 7 beasts do what they were always doing.
