The four of them perked up. They had just now entered the highest world, and everyone but Orthar was uncertain about their future paths. The three children wanted to know what their grandfather would tell them.

By now, all three of them knew fully well that they sat on the same table as one of the most powerful beings in all the worlds. The wise words from such a being were worth more than gold.

"Cera, I will start with you," the Opposer said as he looked at her.

Cera felt nervous. Why was she first?

"Your current circumstances are damaging to you," the Opposer said.

Everyone at the table but Gravis' mother was surprised about this. Even Gravis was a little surprised. What was damaging about Cera's circumstance?

"You see your siblings, and you see that they feel things that you don't," Gravis' father said. "You see how Yersi is happy when she sees Gravis, and you see the bond between Aris and Gravis. Yet, you do not feel these things and try to adapt."

"You try to find these feelings that your siblings have to not feel left out, but you just can't. If you continue like this, eventually, you will succeed, but is that truly who you are? Is it correct to adapt yourself to the others around you when it means that you will be someone you are not?" the Opposer said.

Aris and Yersi were quite surprised as they looked at Cera. Was this true? They knew that Cera acted far more like a typical beast in comparison to them. Yet, was she genuinely trying to find these feelings inside her? She always seemed so sure of herself.

After a while, the present people and beasts understood. Cera probably felt left out and different, making her feel like someone else had something that she didn't. This could even result in feelings of inferiority.

"Don't," the Opposer said. "You are you, and being more beast than human is not worse than being more human than beast. Don't try to change who you are. Accept yourself as you are and concentrate on your own growth and power."

At first, Cera didn't want to acknowledge that she strived to have something that her siblings had. Acknowledging this would mean acknowledging that she felt inferior. Yet, as time passed, she slowly accepted it, even if it felt horrible.

Running away from these feelings was easy, but confronting them was hard. If she wanted to progress, she needed to confront these feelings. Fortunately, Cera was old and experienced enough to see the truth with her current circumstances and managed to accept it.

"What should I do, grandfather?" Cera asked. Calling the Opposer grandfather felt unnatural, but she wanted to do it anyway.
