The sanctum master had heard the news of what Aaric did for Ars and he was happy beyond belief, thanking Aaric profusely " Your family has been a blessing to our sanctum, we have gained immeasurable knowledge and access to resources because of you and now you have done a great favor to us, i do not have words to express my gratitude."
Aaric was a little overwhelmed at that as he just smiled " I just did it for my new friend, and we have learned from the Sanctum as well, i thank you for your hospitality and care as well." Hearing this the old man gave a laugh, ruffling Aaric's hair.
The wolf by his side also nuzzled Aaric a little, Aaric noticed that the wolf also has a physical body as he patted its head. The sanctum master noticed the exchange " Her body is a gift from the protector, as a reward for when i defeated a powerful dark wizard." The man explained.
" When a spirit connected with you gets a body you share in the gift as it increases your own lifespan by a great margin and naming further connects you at a fundamental level, increasing both life and magical prowess by a significant margin." Aaric listened with attention as the man continued.
" The gift you gave Ars is something that will be carried for generations, so please, if you are ever in need of anything please don't hesitate as i will be there for your family." the old man finished with a promise by placing a hand on his chest, showing sincerity.
After his meeting with the sanctum master Aaric joined his family as the sanctum hall with Nyxthar also present, " You will be connecting with your spirits today, please follow me." Nyxthar said as she started walking and the family followed.
She then led them to the Vail where spirits are summoned " This vial is not only connected to the un-realty but also the Divine, so think of your patron gods as you prey." She stepped to the side after saying that as Simon stepped forward first.
Simon sat on the alter in a meditative stance and closed his eyes, as his vision darkened he focused on the vision of makara he had when be first received his blessing, his vision brightened as the sea god appeared in front of him in his glory. He had various animal parts like elephant trunk, crocodile jaws, peacock tail, lion feet, and a body so massive that space could not seem to be able to contain it.
Simon just watched in silence for some time, comprehending the form in front of him and failing as a chuckle was heard in the realm as if from everywhere " You are not strong enough yet, son." The voice had an echo to it and a soothing tone.
Simon smiled and just focused on the eyes of the being in front of him " Forgive me." he bowed. " there is nothing to forgive, i just wished to speak with you there is no need to be so formal." Makara dismissed his worries.
As Simon looked in front of him, a wolf that was big enough to reach his chest with midnight grey fur with streaks and blue lightning like patterns appeared in front of him, forming an instant connection. " The storm wolf seems to have chosen you." Makara explained and blessed the wolf as Simon rubbed the wolf's head.
Simon looked at the god again as the wolf just sat down in front of him "Thank you." He said sincerely to which Makara just laughed softly " He chose you, I did nothing. Come sit and tell me about yourself."

Simon just laughed and sat on the ground with the god as he talked about his family with a gentle smile on his face, as Makara just listened.
In the real world, Simon opened his eyes as the wolf appeared from the vail and they greeted each other like old friends.
Simon walked towards his family as Edwina and Aaric also greeted the wolf with affection as the newest part of the family.
" As you both have the same patron gods, please step forward together." Nyxthar told Edwina and Aaric as both nodded and went forward together, hand in hand.
They both then sat together and prayed as they were also transported to the Vasuki's realm, as the goddess stood with Aeloria at her side. Aaric smiled and gave both of them a hug, However Edwina was a little shy knowing Vasuki is a literal god until Vasuki also smiled at her and hugged her.
The three woman and one boy sat and ate as Vasuki talked to Edwina about her life and Aeloria pampered Aaric. Edwina attracted a small two tailed fox, one of its tail was green in color while the other was silver and Aaric attracted a one meter long snake with blue scales at the top and pitch black at the stomach area.

" The fox is the spirit of poison and healing while the snake is the spirit of day and night, they both will be worthy companions for you," Vasuki smiled giving both spirits her blessings.
" Stay a little while longer as you are strong enough for a little more time and not much time will pass in the material world." Vasuki urged both of them as she was enjoying her conversation with Edwina and Aeloria was holding Aaric like her life depended on it.
They both returned as their spirits appeared as well, the family then celebrated with the whole sanctum Aaric even brought Harry for the night of celebration.
