Up in the fresh, mild temperature air, a Saiyan named Callion flew across the Northern Mountains. He soared through the air, feeling the wind rush past him as he scanned the landscape below. As he flew, Callion's thoughts drifted back to South City, where a great battle had recently taken place. The Majin Liari, a fearsome creature with immense strength and power, had transformed into a Great Ape and threatened the city. But Callion, Ayu, Opherla, Serena and his fellow Saiyans Quash and Athren had joined forces to defeat the monster and save the day. He remembered how difficult it had been to take down Liari, even with the help of his fellow Saiyans. Liari was a formidable opponent, and her Great Ape form had made her nearly invincible.



The Majin Liari, once an innocent Majin who had been under the influence by the Changelings Zero and Ryme, became a terrifying and powerful entity that had absorbed powerful warriors – Callion included- and had invaded multiple Cities for destruction, the latest and last place to destroy was South City with the intent of wreaking havoc on the innocent people living there. Liari was a formidable opponent, even for a Saiyan of Athren's caliber, who even surpassed Callion when he transformed into a Super Saiyan 2. Both Athren and Quash, who Callion managed to break free of his mind control clashed, with Liari transforming into his Great Ape form, towering over everyone like a giant beast. Thankfully, all of it was behind him now…



As Callion flew across the Northern Mountains, his thoughts turned to the aftermath of the battle. He couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if he had been too weak to defeat Liari. The Saiyan warrior felt a deep sense of responsibility for protecting those who could not protect themselves, a trait that was instilled in him from a young age by the Monsol Monks of Planet Bhupal. The wind whipped past Callion, and he closed his eyes, focusing on his breathing. He knew that there would be more battles to come, more challenges to face. But for now, he was content to fly across the mountains, basking in the glory of his recent victory and reflecting on the lessons he had learned.



Finding a secluded spot on a forest outcropping that was unironically nearby to the Majin Moire, Callion sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. The wind continued to howl around him, the mountains towering above him like ancient giants. But for Callion, in this moment, this was a place of serenity, where he could find inner peace. As he meditated, Callion reflected on the events of the past few days. The battle with Liari within South City, and it had taken every ounce of his strength along with the combined energy of the others who were there to emerge victorious. Not only that, but also having recently returned to life, having seen that much has managed to change so much in a short span of time. But even more than the physical exertion, it was the emotional toll that had left him drained.



Callion thought of his friends who had been injured or even killed in the battle, and he felt a sense of sadness and loss. Quash; his fellow Saiyan after having managed to break free with his words to have him snap out of her influence, died that very day, his last actions giving the Saiyan a Zenkai boost and fighting alongside Athren with every aspect of his body. He thought of his own mortality, and how one day he too would meet his end once again. But he also felt a sense of pride and gratitude, for having been able to fight for what was right and to protect those he cared about. As Callion continued to meditate, his breathing slowed and his mind became more still. He focused on the energy that flowed through his body, and he felt it strengthening him, reinvigorating him. He knew that he would need this energy for the battles that lay ahead, for there would always be more challenges to face.



But as he continues to meditate, his energy level slowly and naturally began to rise upwards, allowing a slow flickering white flame of ki to engulf his body, acting out like a signal beacon for anyone who wanted to talk to the Saiyan Monk.

Callion's eyes remained closed as he meditated, his mind fully focused on channeling and controlling his ki. He was surprised to hear someone approach him, as he had sensed their presence long before they spoke up. However, he didn't let it distract him from his practice, and he continued to breathe deeply and calmly. When the majin spoke up, Callion opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to look at her. He noticed that she was a majin, a race he had never encountered before. However, he didn't feel threatened by her presence, and he recognized that she was just curious. "I am meditating," Callion replied in a calm and measured tone. "I am focusing my energy and trying to achieve a higher state of consciousness. What brings you to this place?"



Callion's tone was polite but guarded, as he was wary of anyone who approached him in the wilderness. He also noted the peculiar ki signature emanating from the Majin, which piqued his interest. Nonetheless, he remained focused on his meditation, his aura still shimmering white around him. “I often come to this remote place to calm my mind, body and spirit, along with focus on training and to recover from what has occurred over at South City.” The Saiyan continued, he remained remarkably mature and sensible to the Majin in question, the very scars and events that had taken place in the once bustling City now laid barren and lifeless before Liari’s rampage in a Great Ape form of all things, had left a lot in perspective. “My name is Callion. Tell me, who do I have the pleasure of talking to, Majin?”



If there was one defining trait about the Saiyan that remained un-phased, it was the air and sense the peaceful energy that surrounded him, no direct threat of anger, hatred or malice towards her – as though someone has already dealt with majin’s time and again, and has generally grown well accustomed to them. However, at the same time, Callion's white aura flickered and pulsed around him as he spoke, a visible sign of his ki and the energy he was harnessing. He was still wary of the Majin, even if as he was calm around her, but he felt a sense of camaraderie with her. Perhaps they could learn from each other and grow stronger together. Callion looked at Moire with interest as she spoke with her first initial question, he could sense her curiosity and eagerness to learn evident in her tone as to why he was here. He had always believed that knowledge was meant to be shared, and he was more than happy to teach her what he knew. “Though, I can also ask the same question as you? Why are you here? If it is training you seek, then you have sought no better place to improve oneself within the Northern Mountains.”



The Saiyan continued onward. “Do you strive to better yourself physically? Mentally? Spiritually?” Callion could sense that the Majin was not hostile - at least not right now - and he relaxed slightly. He continued to speak in a measured tone, his eyes locked onto hers as he tried to gauge her intentions. "As a Saiyan, I am always seeking to improve myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is the way of my people to constantly push ourselves to become stronger, to overcome any obstacle that may stand in our way."


He paused for a moment, considering his next words. "But I also seek to learn from others, to broaden my understanding of the universe and the myriad of creatures that inhabit it. What about you, Majin? What brings you to this place?" Callion tilted his head slightly, curious to hear her response. He could sense that she was not like any Majin he had encountered before, and he wanted to learn more about her. As he waited for her reply, Callion continued to focus on his meditation, his aura flickering around him as he channeled his ki. He was still wary of any potential threats, but he was also open to the possibility of making a new ally. After all, the universe was a dangerous place, and having someone at his side could be the difference between life and death

Callion nods his head in understanding as he listens to Moire's explanation of why she is out here in the wilderness. He is impressed by her dedication to self-improvement, as well as her willingness to challenge herself by relying less on her magic. It takes a lot of courage to step out of one's comfort zone like that. When Moire asks if she can speak with him further, Callion nods his head again. "Of course, Moire. I'm all ears." He sits up straighter, folding his legs beneath him and assuming a more attentive posture. Despite his size and his power, he has a gentle and patient demeanor that puts Moire at ease. She can tell that he's someone who is used to listening, and who takes the time to consider the thoughts and feelings of others.



"What's on your mind?" he asks, his voice low and soothing. "No need to be shy here." The Saiyan’s ridiculously long tail reaches out and gently pats the solid ground next to him, a motion and a clear sign that Callion wants the Majin to come and sit down next to him. “Come, sit. Join with me and talk. With me, you are free to always speak your mind. I am here for you.” Callion spoke softly to the Majin, showing a great deal of maturity and calmness which was rare amongst all Saiyans, so such an individual like this of all races across the universe was the equivilant to finding a rare diamond. "I must say," Callion continued, looking at the Majin provided she had sat down next to him or now, "You are wise to improve your survival skills. Very few people these days decide to take on such an important and vital talent."



The Saiyan even went so far as to smile at her.



"In fact, I dare say that I am rather proud of you to take on such a challenge."



Callion's eyes soften as Moire talked about her struggles with her magic and her desire to improve her physical abilities. "No, really. I am proud of you. I, too, understand the desire to push oneself to be better," he says. "I myself am always looking for ways to improve, to become stronger in body, mind, and soul." He pauses for a moment, as if considering his words. "But I also believe that it's important to accept ourselves as we are, and to recognize that we all have our own unique strengths and weaknesses. It's okay to rely on our abilities, whatever they may be. The important thing is to use them to the best of our ability, and to always strive for improvement. To be better than who we were before."



He looks at Moire, his eyes intense yet kind. "You have a great deal of potential, Moire. I can sense it within you. But remember to be kind to yourself, and to take things one step at a time. The Planet Earth wasn't built in a day, as they say." He smiles at her reassuringly. He looks out at the wilderness around them, a thoughtful expression on his face. "There is so much to learn, so much to experience. I feel like I have only scratched the surface. But that's okay. I have all the time in the world." He turns back to Moire. "What about you? What are your goals, besides improving your survival skills?" Callion placed his hand on his chest,

“For example, I do believe that there is more to life than just fighting and training. Yes, it's important to be strong and to defend what you believe in, but it's also important to find meaning and purpose in your life. For some, that may mean seeking out new challenges, or exploring the world around them. For others, it may mean helping those in need, or simply living a quiet life surrounded by loved ones. But whatever it is that gives your life meaning, that's what you should pursue."

He turns to look at Moire, his gaze warm and reassuring. "I think you're on the right path, Moire. By challenging yourself and seeking out new experiences, you're already taking the first steps towards finding your own meaning and purpose. And if you ever need someone to talk to, or just to sit in silence with, I'm here for you."

Callion finishes speaking, his ridiculously long and large tail slowly swaying behind him.

Callion listens attentively to Moire's words, his eyes reflecting empathy and understanding. He nods in agreement as she speaks of her desire to improve herself not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally, in order to unlock the mysteries of her past. "I understand," he says softly. "The search for one's purpose can be a long and difficult journey, especially when there are memories that are just out of reach. But I have no doubt that you will find your way, Moire. You have already shown great strength and determination in your training, and that will carry you far."

He pauses for a moment, thinking about what Moire said about wanting to experience the culture of Earth and to feel like she belongs. "You know, Moire, I believe that belonging isn't just about fitting in with a group or culture. It's about finding a place where you feel accepted and valued for who you are. And I think you've already found that here, on Earth. A discovery of a new world to explore, with new faces to meet and greet, let alone to befriend, can be quite the daunting but enjoyable perspective on life. So don't worry too much about fitting in with Earth's culture. Just be yourself, and you'll find that people will accept you for who you are." He smiles warmly at Moire, hoping to reassure her. "And as for unlocking your memories, take your time. It's okay to feel afraid or uncertain. But remember that we're here for you, and we'll support you through whatever you find. You're not alone in this journey."



The Saiyan couldn’t help but chuckle in his own right. Indeed, this was not the first time he had to experience such a thing with a Majin before. Liari with her refusal to meditate, having to take Ayu to tell him about the nightmares that a Majin has to face. It felt such a shame and yet an experience that he learnt well along the way. If he could at the very least be able to help this majin, then maybe he can do some genuine good in the world. However, needless to say, not all memories are good and some are closed for a reason. He took another look at Moire, looking at her closely before slowly nodding. “However, finding the secret of your purpose and memories may not always be what you expected. There can be reasons beyond your control as to why they were locked away in the first place. It's important to be prepared for whatever you may find, and to accept it for what it is, no matter how difficult it may be.”



Callion pauses for a moment, considering his words before continuing, “But you're not alone in this journey, Moire. No doubt in my mind, you will forge friends who care about you and are willing to support you, even when things get tough. And as for experiencing the culture of Earth, I think that's a wonderful goal. There's so much to explore and learn, and I'm sure you'll find your place here in no time.” He gives her a warm smile, hoping to reassure her, “Remember that progress is not always a straight line. There will be setbacks and challenges, but as long as you keep moving forward, you'll get to where you want to be. And if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.”

Callion extends his hand towards Moire, a gesture of friendship and support, “If you truly want my advice, rather than looking back at what you had before that was lost to memory – forge yourself a new purpose in life. Give yourself a fresh start to your being. If you don’t know what it is yet? Explore the world, make an existence by your own hands, and watch it grow and develop into something worth fighting for and protecting.” The Saiyan smiled, looking up to the sky. “I like to think you got me as a new friend. That’s one fine way to start a fresh start to life on this planet and for many more years to come.”



Callion turns his attention back to Moire, with a warm smile on his face. "I'm not saying you should forget about your past completely, but dwelling on it won't do you any good either. You have the power to create a new purpose for yourself, something that you can be proud of and that will give you a reason to keep moving forward. You may not know what it is yet, but that's okay. Take your time to explore the world, meet new people, learn new things. Who knows, you may find your purpose in the most unexpected places." He then chuckles, "And as for me, I'm honored to have made a new friend like you, Moire. It's not every day that I get to meet someone as unique and interesting as you. And who knows, maybe we can even train together sometime. I can show you some moves that I've picked up along my travels."

Callion then stands up and stretches his arms out, "But for now, how about we take a little break from all this talk about purposes and memories and just enjoy the beauty of this place? The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the wind is blowing. It's a perfect day for a little relaxation." The Saiyan but then he had forgot something else when he shared his wisdom to Moire. “Oh! And food, never forgetting about the food! Hahahahahah!”

Callion takes one of the steaks and tears off a piece, savoring the taste as he chews. "Mmm, this is great, looks like you've got some skills up your sleeve, Moire. You sure know how to conjure up a good meal, that’s for sure!" He takes another bite before continuing, "But you know, sometimes it's good to enjoy the simple things in life. Like a good meal with good company."



He looks at Moire with a smile before taking another bite. "I may not know what your past holds, but I know that you have a bright future ahead of you. With your strength and determination, I have no doubt that you'll find what you're looking for." He takes a sip of water before continuing, "And don't forget, you don't have to face it alone. You will no doubt forge wonderful bonds of friends who will be there for you every step of the way. Just like I'll be there for you." He grins, "And who knows, maybe one day we'll even go on an adventure together. Explore the unknown and discover new things."

Callion then continued, "You know, Moire, I don't think you need to worry too much about your past. You'll remember what you need to remember when the time comes. What's important now is the present, and making the most of it." He takes another bite of his steak and chews thoughtfully, before continuing.

"Maybe you're right, maybe there is a destiny for each of us, but I like to think that we have the power to shape our own destinies too. We can choose what we do, who we become, and how we impact the world around us. And you, Moire, have the potential to do great things. You've already made a new friend, and who knows how many more you'll make as you explore this world and find your place in it."

He paused for a moment to chew on his steak before continuing, "And if there's anything I've learned from my own experiences, it's that having good friends by your side can make all the difference. We may not have known each other for very long, but I already feel like we have a strong bond. So let's enjoy this moment, this beautiful scenery, and this delicious food, and let tomorrow worry about itself." He finishes off his steak and leans back, enjoying the warmth of the sun on his skin. "Life is full of surprises, Moire. Some good, some bad. But that's what makes it so exciting. We never know what's around the corner. So let's just enjoy the present, and take each day as it comes."



Callion takes another bite, chewing thoughtfully before speaking again. "You know, Moire, I think you have a lot of potential. Even without your memories, you have a strength and determination that's truly admirable. I have no doubt that you'll be able to find your place in this world, whether it's through your magic, your friendships, or something else entirely."

He takes another bite of steak, savoring the flavor before continuing. "And if you ever need help or support, you can count on me. Friends stick together, through thick and thin." Callion smiles warmly at Moire, happy to have made a new friend and excited to see where their adventures together will take them. Callion raised his glass of water in a toast to Moire, a gesture of friendship and camaraderie.

"To new beginnings, and to finding our place in this world, wherever it may be."
