"Set me free, heathens!" A deep voice actually came from the Snow Wind Goshawk which surprised them. They expected that the voice would be higher in tone since it is an avian monster.

"We shall release you, but we have a proposition." Adrian stated.

"I will not be seen having an agreement with barbarians." The Snow Wind Goshawk stated as if it was some kind of royalty.

"It is either the agreement or I force you into a bond of servitude to that woman there. The first one can control your fate while the last one will not give you such a choice." Adrian stated in a serious tone to which the Snow Wind Goshawk finally pondered.

The Snow Wind Goshawk knew that it will not be able to escape unscathed. It is actually wondering why it is still kept alive, but it suddenly saw Crystal. The clothes that she was wearing is from a tribe that often entered the edges of the Quaint Snowfield. Those that entered are usually hunters that have mounts.

"I see. You want me to try and bond with that woman from that tribe that have mounts." The Wind Snow Goshawk stated which is a testament to its intelligence.

"Since you understand, the agreement is simple. Crystal will commence a Pact of Partnership with you. If she fails, then we will set you free." Adrian stated.

"I agree." The Wind Snow Goshawk immediately agreed as it knew that Crystal will definitely fail.

No one from her tribe has ever bonded with his species. It could even be said to be impossible because the Snow Wind Goshawk have the potential to be a king. Only someone that possesses the qualities of a king could have a bond with it. It looked at Adrian and it instinctively knew that he possesses that quality, but the woman does not.

"I shall now create the magic circle then." Adrian stated as he commanded Paradox to create an intricate magic circle.

The magic circle is similar to a summoning magic circle, but it has been altered. It is the same magic circle that Adrian used with Moksha and Peridot. He set up the magic circle with ease as this is his second time doing it and he has become far stronger compared to that time.

The Pact of Partnership immediately started as soon as the magic circle is completed. The energy of the two suddenly formed into thin threads that connected with each other. The start of the Pact of Partnership is the sharing of memories which starts from their birth to their age now.

This stage proceeded without much difficulty as the Snow Wind Goshawk seemed to have gained interest in Crystal. Adrian could more or less guess that this Pact of Partnership will end up being beneficial to both of them should they succeed. The energies of the two seem to complement each other instead of rejecting.

A few minutes later, a powerful energy started to come out of the Snow Wind Goshawk as its latent power started to test Crystal. A pained expression could be seen from Crystal's face as she cannot easily bear the power of a king of beasts. Just as the string of energies started to weaken, the ice bow that Crystal had suddenly resonated with her.

Crystal's body suddenly exploded in power as well that is equivalent to the power of a king that the Snow Wind Goshawk released. The Snow Wind Goshawk felt this as well and he could see that this woman is worthy of him for a partnership. He wanted to test Crystal once more but the energy that resonated from Crystal's bow suddenly touched him.

The moment the Snow Wind Goshawk could feel that the energy that resonated with Crystal could benefit him, the Snow Wind Goshawk immediately accepted the pack wholeheartedly. When the Snow Wind Goshawk accepted the pact of Partnership, the bow that Crystal held suddenly broke into thousands of snowflakes that surrounded the two of them.

The Snow Wind Goshawk and Crystal suddenly floated in the sky and rotated with one another as they released a powerful surge of energy. So powerful that even the monsters in the depths of the Quaint Snowfield awakened from their slumber.

"Initiate preventive measures." Adrian stated as he suddenly sealed the space near them.

He needed to chug mana potions to make sure that the space remained sealed and no energy leaks out. Vayu did so as well and scattered the wind element in the surrounding in order to add another layer of seal. Soleil controlled the radiant heat to trap the energy leaking out as well but the perceptive monsters in the depths of the Quant Snowfields still came close to them.

About five monsters that are level 350 came close to them and the group thought that they will die but a miracle happened. The energy that Crystal and the Snow Wind Goshawk finally stabilized as their new forms graced the presence of those that came.

Crystal still had the clothes that her tribes wore but there is a thin film of snow silk that covered her body. An ice crown could also be seen adorning her head as if to show the world that she is of ryal blood. The Snow Wind Goshawk changed as well as it grew to a full three meters in height while the feathers on its wings looked like sharp black ice.
