The finished quest.
The air was thick with anticipation. The final chamber stretched before Isagi, Reo, and Rin like a great abyss, the stone walls ancient and worn, their edges covered in centuries of dust. The Astralis Beast, a creature of legend and magic, stood at the center, its immense form glowing faintly with golden light. Its wings, vast and ethereal, shimmered like moonlight against the dark, its eyes reflecting the curiosity of those who dared approach.
Isagi took a deep breath, the sound of his heartbeat thundering in his ears. Their quest had led them here, to this momentâthe culmination of months of exploration, challenges, and uncertainties. They had journeyed through the most dangerous parts of Hogwarts, deciphered ancient spells, uncovered forgotten secrets, and faced enemies, all to reach this point. The Astralis Beast was no longer a mythâit was right in front of them, real and alive.
But the journey wasnât over yet. It was never going to be.
"Are we really going to do this?" Reo's voice cut through the stillness, his words laced with both awe and uncertainty. He glanced at Rin and Isagi, who stood just as silently, their wands raised and ready, their resolve firm.
"Weâve come too far to turn back now," Rin replied, his voice as steady as ever. His sharp gaze never left the Beast, but there was something different in the way he stood, as if he were more aware of the responsibility resting on his shoulders than ever before.
Isagi nodded. "Weâve made it this far. We canât stop now."
The Astralis Beastâs eyes glowed brighter, watching them intently, but it didnât move. It didnât attack. Instead, it merely waited, as if it had known all along that they would come, that this moment was fated.
The three of them stepped forward as one, their wands held high, their magic pulsating through the air. Isagiâs pulse raced in his chest, his thoughts racing with everything they had been through to get hereâthe dangers they had faced, the lessons they had learned, and the friendships that had solidified between them along the way. This moment wasnât just about defeating a creature. It was about proving their strength, their determination, and their unity.
"This is it," Reo muttered, a rare serious note in his voice.
The Beast let out a low, rumbling sound, as if acknowledging their presence. The room seemed to hum with the energy of ancient magic, the air growing thick with power. The ground beneath their feet vibrated, and the walls around them began to glow with runesârunes they had seen in their studies, ones that spoke of binding magic and powerful enchantments.
"Letâs do this," Rin said with finality, raising his wand.
Isagi closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the weight of the decision. They werenât just here to capture the Beastâthey were here to understand it. To form a bond with it. To prove that they could handle the power it represented, and, if they were lucky, to make sure no one else would ever be able to misuse it.
With a steady hand, Isagi raised his wand and spoke the incantation they had been preparing for weeks, the words a quiet chant that filled the air with energy. The light from their wands seemed to weave together, forming a lattice of magic that enveloped the Beast. The creatureâs wings twitched, but it didnât fight, as if it were surrendering to their power.
The runes along the walls blazed with light as the magic grew stronger. The Beastâs golden eyes locked onto Isagiâs, and for a moment, the world seemed to stand still. The connection between them was palpable, a rush of warmth and strength, like the force of the universe itself converging upon them.
"Donât fight it," Isagi whispered, his voice barely audible above the growing hum of energy. "Weâre not here to control you. Weâre here to understand you."
The Astralis Beast let out a low, resonant growl, its eyes softening slightly. The light from its body flickered, responding to the trioâs combined magic. The energy in the room intensified, the magic growing more powerful by the second, until it felt as though the very fabric of the world was vibrating.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the glow dimmed, the runes on the walls fading into nothingness. The Beast lowered its wings and stood still, its golden eyes reflecting the soft light of the trioâs wands.
Isagi, Reo, and Rin took a step back, breathing heavily, their wands lowered as the magic faded. They had done it. They had tamed the Beastânot through brute force, but through understanding, through their shared determination to uncover the truth.
The room was silent for a moment, the only sound the gentle rustling of the Beastâs wings. Then, with a sudden, almost imperceptible movement, the Beast nodded its head, acknowledging their success.
It was over.
The quest was complete.

The following day, the students of Hogwarts returned to their respective houses, the end of the school year fast approaching. But for Isagi, Reo, and Rin, the adventure wasnât overâit was just the beginning of something greater.
As they sat in the Gryffindor common room, surrounded by their classmates,
âHow did they even let two people from a different house, especially their biggest enemies in here..â Isagi thought to himself
there was an unspoken understanding between the three of them. They had done something incredible, something that would change the course of their lives forever. The Astralis Beast, though still shrouded in mystery, had become a symbol of their strength, their growth, and their bond.
"So, what now?" Reo asked, leaning back in his chair, a small smile on his face. "Do we just forget about the Beast, or are we keeping it a secret?"
Rin shot him a look, raising an eyebrow. "You really think theyâll let us keep it in the castle?"
Reo shrugged. "I donât know. Itâs our discovery. Why not?"
Isagi chuckled, shaking his head. "We canât keep it here. But maybe we can help protect it. Make sure no one tries to take advantage of it."
Rin nodded in agreement. "We did the right thing. We didnât capture the Beast for ourselvesâwe did it to make sure it was safe."
The three of them sat in comfortable silence for a moment, the weight of their accomplishment sinking in. They had faced unimaginable challenges and had come through stronger for it. But there was one more thing they needed to considerâthe future.
"Next year," Isagi said quietly, his voice filled with resolve, "Weâll keep training. Weâll keep learning. And weâll keep protecting the Beast."
Reo grinned, his usual confident smile returning. "Sounds like a plan. After all, this isnât the end. Itâs just the beginning."
Rin gave a small smile, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Agreed. No one can stand in our way now."
The trio sat in the quiet of the Gryffindor common room, the embers of the fireplace flickering in the background. They had made it through the first year of their journey together, and as they looked to the future, there was no doubt in their minds: they were ready for whatever came next.

âBye Isagi!!! Iâll see you next year!â Bachira excitedly waved, holding his suit case in his hand before running out of the school
âIâll see you next year Bachira!â Isagi waved back, he was wrapped up in layers of clothing, since it started to become snowy in hogwarts, Isagi finally got to wear the scarf Reo, his crush gave him before his departure,
then Isagi had the courage to lift his suitcase and depart from hogwarts himself to go back to his home, imagining all the things he could tell to his family.
