"Is it really okay if we leave?" Tiara asked Michael, tears welling in her eyes.
Michael looked at the Silverfang Princess and smiled at her. Tiara had been with him from the day he entered the Origin Expanse. She stood by his side and fought with her life on the line. There was no hesitation in her actions, no matter how dangerous the given task had been.
She was a truly precious person to Michael. That was even more reason why he couldn’t keep her in the Untamed Jungle. Tiara deserved to be free. She deserved to take care of her people and rule them.
"My decision didn’t change in the last two decades," Michael snickered, "You and the Silverfangs are free to go. It won’t be possible to release the Silverfang Summons because they died once and won’t be allowed back into the weave – the weave would repel them, destroying them once and for all – but the Awakened can return to the cosmos."
Michael had been discussing this day with Tiara, Caesus, and the Silverfangs for a while now. Now that Caesus and Tiara accepted each other—that was about time—they could rule together. Of course, it was difficult to rule an entire race as siblings, and it was obvious that there would be many difficulties, but Michael helped the siblings come to a satisfying solution.

Only approximately 14,000 Silverfangs were left, most of which were children or youngsters who had been given birth to in the last two decades. The rest were already older and stronger. Some were already too old and would probably die of old age, but that was the curse of a mortal life.
Either way, the 14,000 Silverfang Awakened – some weren’t properly Awakened but had been forced to awaken their Energy Pillars to remain in the Origin Expanse – would be allowed to leave the Origin Expanse. They would return to the cosmos, where Kaleb Zenovia had already found a suitable planet. The planet wasn’t massive, but it could be inhabited by more than three billion Silverfangs, according to the HSOL(Human Standard Of Living).
It was likely the Silverfangs would have more issues inhabiting the planet with three billion of their kin, but it would take a very long time to reach that number in the first place. The surrounding planets of the small planetary system were also not inhabited by intelligent life and thus perfect for the Silverfangs. No other Demi-Human races would attack them, exiling them from their homes. It was perfect.
It would be difficult to leave the Untamed Jungle and build your own lives as a community of the Silverfangs on a foreign planet, but 14,000 Silverfangs, most with great experience and wisdom, would make it happen. Michael never doubted that, especially with Tiara following them to take care of everything. She would protect her people and ensure everyone would have a great life.
In the worst-case scenario, Tiara and the Silverfangs could always tap into their resources within the Origin Expanse. They weren’t exiled from the Origin Expanse, and Michael reassured them that they could take as many resources as needed to establish their first town. In the first place, using the Origin Expanse’s resources was a must. It would cut so much wasted time and allow everyone to focus on the most important tasks.
However, at the same time, Michael didn’t allow them to do as they pleased. There were more than a hundred thousand Silverfang Summons at this point, yet they didn’t have a territory in the Origin Expanse. They would have to request resources from Michael if they needed help. Tiara and the others didn’t pay that much attention because they liked working for him and thought it was only obvious that they had to keep working for him as a sign of gratitude. However, Michael didn’t think like that.
If the Silverfangs desired independence, they had to leave the Untamed Jungle and establish their own territory. That was what Caesus would do. He, his children, and the Silverfang Summons would leave the Untamed Jungle to establish a Silverfang territory. The Silverfang Awakened would erect their anchors in the Silverfang territory. Tiara would gain more access to all systems than anyone else since Caesus and Tiara would rule together, but Michael wouldn’t do much more.
This was a new beginning for the Silverfangs, and Michael wanted to ensure that the Silverfang Tigerfolk would make it happen. They wouldn’t have to depend on him to live their own lives anymore!
"You want us to leave, don’t you?" Tiara grumbled, but Michael shook his head.
"I don’t want you to leave, but I can tell that you are not fully happy with your life," Michael said while raising his hand to stop Tiara from responding, "I know you are happy, and I can tell that you are satisfied with your life as it is. However, I can also see the longing in your eyes and the desires within the Links of Loyalty. Your Link of Loyalty is even stronger than the others, so please don’t start lying to me. That wouldn’t help anyone. If anything, it would pain me."
Tiara winced, the hair of her fluffy tail standing up to its end.
"I shouldn’t lie…I know. I also know you don’t want us to leave. I don’t want to leave either…" Tiara mumbled.
"Buuut," Michael added, putting on a nice smile.
"But, I am also responsible for my people. I should leave…and I think I’m up for it. I think I can do it," Tiara added, her voice slowly gaining confidence, "and I think I would be good at it."
Michael nodded, "I know you will be a good Queen. You have what it takes to rule an entire race. You always had it within you."
Tears trickled down Tiara’s face, and she rushed forward to embrace him tightly.
Michael returned the tight hug and patted the back of her head.
"You will be a great Queen. Just make sure you won’t bully your people too much!"
"I’m not a bully!"
"Yes, yes. You’re the best!"
