The Medallion

"Ally seemed all right two days ago. What made it so irritable now? Could it be sick?"

Hannah asked, looking perplexed. Ally had been with her since it was a cub, and it had always been obedient and even-tempered. In fact, it had rarely shown such mercurial temperament before.

"We have no idea what is happening. Several beast curers have come to check on it, but none of them could find anything wrong!" the man in charge of the beast farm immediately answered.

He looked harried and frightened, possibly because Hannah could easily blame him and punish him.

But Hannah didn't get angry at him. Instead, she turned to look at Rocky hopefully, knowing that he was also very proficient in beast curing.

"Basil, do you know what's wrong with Ally?"

Rocky was quiet for a moment as he thought about it. Then he said, "I think it might be in heat, so it must be longing for a mate."

"In heat? What does that mean?" Hannah looked stunned for a moment, as she had not expected that answer.

"It is autumn right now, and spiritual beasts typically reproduce during this season. It is highly likely that Ally has reached maturity, so all its instincts are driving it to reproduce. Therefore, it is in a hurry to find another beast to mate.

This is a normal process that all beasts go through, so you don't have to worry. It's not a big deal!" explained Rocky succinctly.

"Oh, is that so?

I guess I have to find a suitable spiritual beast to mate with Ally right away."

Hearing Rocky's explanation brought instant release to the anxiety in Hannah's mind, and she let out a deep sigh. She had been incredibly concerned at first, but it seemed that Ally's problem could be easily dealt with, which was a great relief.

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea. Spiritual beasts like Ally won't be willing to mate with spiritual beasts arranged for them. The best thing that you can do is to let it select the mate it wants,"

Rocky reminded her gently but firmly.

"Oh, no, I can't do that. Ally is incredibly talented, so its genes must be exemplary. It will be a great loss if it finds an inferior spiritual beast to mate with!" Hannah cared deeply about Ally and thought of it as a family member, so she didn't want anything bad to happen to it at all.

"I think you are misinformed. A beast's mother is the main source and therefore has the biggest impact on the descendant's characteristics. That is why even if Ally finds a low-grade spiritual beast, it won't cause too much impact,"

Rocky reassured Hannah.
