" Ter, are you okay? " Ikum asked. Holding his hand but not too tight because he could hurt him.

Terrako looks up at his cousin and starts to cry. " Sorry, if only I had a crat then I would've been able too- "

Ikum cuts him off. " Terrako, stop this. You don't need a craft to be powerful nor do you need any magical power. You can be strong in another way. " Ikum said.

" Like what? I don't know how to be strong in another way. " Terrako said. Feeling a sense of hopelessness. All his friends had crafts while he was the only one without any. He felt worthless and thought he would hold everyone back because of it.

Eliana feels his head and smiles. " With your head. You don't need a craft to be strong, and beside's, you still need to work on it and not all crafts are completely useful. " Eliana said.

Terrako looks up at her and then turns away. " You wouldn't understand. " And he goes to sleep. 

The three looks at eachother and decided to give him some time to himself. Some time passes and it was the day of the graduation. Terrako was standing behind the curtain and looks outside, he notices a lot of people, and there are a lot. Some important figures also. 

" Boo. " Meldryith said. 

Terrako jumps and looks back at his mother. He watches her smiles at her son. 

" You got taller, you're taller than me. Might even be dad's height. I'm just... s-so...- " Meldryith burst out crying and falls to her knees as her tear's flood the area. " My baby is all grown up! "

" M-mom! You're making a scene! " Terrako said. And helps her up.

Meldryith wipes her nose dry, still sad that her baby is now going to be a full grown adult. " Sorry, it's just... I don't want you to leave... not yet. It's just, it hurt. You remind me so much of him. " 

" Like my brother? Taro. " Terrako said. And became a little depressed. " Mom, he passed away ten years ago. "

" I know! Don't remind me, It's just... I'm not ready. I'm sad yor father couldn't be here. He's on a mission at the moment be should be home soon. " Meldryith said. 

Terrako looks outside and see's three people he's never seen before. " Who's that? " Terrako asked, looking at the three dragnoid figure. They human, but had dragons wings and tails.

" Ahh, Principal Nowli, she's been principal since I've attended here. And then there's her son- I mean daughter, sorry about that. Her daughter Nowli. And then her, Archbishop Tiki. She rules over the church of Durandurlu. " Meldryith said.

Terrako observe's them closely. " I've never seen anything like them? What's their race? " Terrako asked.

" Like how we are Basiliskian from Basilisk. They are Serencian from the planet Serence, or what they call the main race. Dragon hybrids thanks to the Goddess Durandurlu. " Meldryith said. Soon, the ceremony starts. Meldryith sits down next to Morgan and his husband, Henry Alutorim. 

Terrako sit's by the other three. " You guy's ready? " Terrako asked, he had his gown and cap on. Finally ready to graduate. The others nods.

Archbishop Tiki walks to the stand and places down a few papers. " Hello people of Basilisk, I am Archbishop Tiki. What a beautiful day we have here, able to stand here thanks to the divination of the Goddess. " Tiki said. The others cheered, there stood four others next to them. 

" The five church leaders are here? Now that's rare. " Soren said. Everyone stands up and bows before them. A sign of respect. 

Tiki waves at everyone and smiles. She clears her throat as she was going to begin talking again. " Today, we have the class of 3,403. The biggest class we had so far, and so many exceptional students amongst them. You guy's have been together for a while, even some of you are life long friends, cherish this moment, class of 3,408. " 

Nowli walks up to the stand. " When I call you name please come up and recieve your diploma. First up, Ikum Hertolt Alutorim. " Nowli said.

Ikum stands up as everyone cheers for him. He waves and recieve his diploma, he looks down at it proud. He was proud he was about to graduate and finally be considered an adult. 

Nowli contined reading it until it was finally Terrako's turn. " Terrako Fodlarr, please come up. " Nowli said.

Terrako recieves his diploma and looks down unsatisfied, he thought he didn't deserve it since he didn't obtain a craft just yet. He walks back to his seat feeling... unworthy. Soon the ceremony ended and everyone went to their parents to celebrat. 

" How are you my son! " Henry said. And locks Ikum in his arms. Ikum groans loudly and holds onto his arms. 

Meldryith showers her son with kisses. " Oh I am so proud of you!! " Meldryith said.

" Okay, mom. Thanks. " Terrako said. And rubs his face. Soon Eliana pulled him away and they walked over to a tree. " E-eli? What's the matter? " Terrako was confused of why he was pulled away from his family then noticed her blushing face and also started blushing brightly.

" T-terrako... I... I... w-what's that? " Eliana asked. Striking Terrako with confusion. Eliana points up to the sky and notices something on fire and falling down to the planet. More breaks through the clouds as so does pirate ships. 

" Are those... satellites? " Terrako said. And they both run over to his mom. Who was in complete shock and horror.

" What's wrong Meldy? And are those the Grimmstone Pirates? " Morgan asked. 

Meldryith felt her world fall apart, she felt a sense of urgency and fear. And in those moments she didn't know what to do or what to say. She studdered. " T-the Grimmstone Pirates... Ash was sent on a mission to monitor their movements... "
