Velia's gaze locked onto Aksai, her golden eyes glimmering with a seriousness.
"Anyway, Aksai, now you have a choice to make," she began, her tone calm but firm.
"You've earned the recognition of the Holy Land Torel by passing all nine tests. Apart from gaining the rewards for passing them, you've also earned yourself the Grand Druid's Blessing, a privilege traditionally granted only to the core disciples of the sect.

"I can remove that 'honorary' status and make you a real core disciple. There is one condition, though—you must take on an important responsibility as the only remaining disciple of the Holy Land Torel in Dadangar."
She leaned forward slightly, her tone laced with gravity. "What do you say? Do you accept this responsibility?"
