Three years later – The Triplet Birthday Celebration
Rainbow Guardian City had grown into a prosperous and lively small city. The walls were strong, the guilds were active, and the people lived with purpose and joy. The three children — Shihao, Cailin, and Luo Feng — had become the beloved heart of the city.
Today was their third birthday.
The central square was transformed into a grand but warm celebration ground. Colorful banners, flowers, lanterns, and tables laden with food filled the area. Music played, children laughed and ran around, and the entire population had gathered to celebrate the three little ones who represented the future of the city.
Miya and Liora looked radiant as mothers. Miya held little Cailin's hand, while Liora carried Luo Feng on her hip. Shihao walked proudly beside Lukas, already showing a calm and strong presence even at three years old.
The crowd cheered and sang happy songs as the children blew out the candles on a large cake made from the city's own farms.
After the cake was cut and shared, you and Lukas stepped forward together.
The square quieted down with anticipation.
Lukas spoke first, his voice warm but carrying the weight of a king and Cosmic Lord:
"Today, my son Luo Feng turns three. As his father, I give him a special gift."
He raised his hand. Three powerful shadow entities materialized — loyal, sentient shadow guardians with SSS-rank strength. They bowed to the little boy.
"These three shadows will protect you forever, my son. They will be your companions, your shields, and your friends. Happy birthday, Luo Feng."
The little boy's eyes widened with wonder as one of the shadows gently ruffled his hair. The crowd clapped and cheered.
Then it was your turn.
You stepped forward and called your children closer.
First, you looked at your daughter.
"Cailin, my daughter… this is my gift to you."
You waved your hand. Two beautiful, radiant spirits appeared — one crackling with pure, powerful lightning energy, the other flowing with deep, graceful water magic. Both were loyal, ancient-level elemental spirits that would grow alongside her.
"These are the Lightning Spirit and the Water Spirit. They will be your companions and teachers. With them, you will master your affinities and one day become the Goddess of Lightning and Water. Happy birthday, Cailin."
Cailin's eyes sparkled with delight as the two spirits gently circled her, already bonding with the little girl.
Then you turned to your son.
"Shihao, my son… when you grow up, you will become the most powerful god among the celestial realms. For your third birthday, I give you this blessing:
You will have the power to create anything — worlds, realms, life, whatever your heart desires. You will be able to open voids and travel to any dimension or parallel world. You will be able to summon heroes when needed, and even bring back the worthy dead if they fit the role of a true guardian. This is the power befitting the most powerful god."
A warm, golden-cosmic light enveloped little Shihao for a moment. The boy smiled brightly, already feeling the vast potential awakening inside him.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause. Many people had tears in their eyes, moved by the love and power being bestowed upon the three children.
Miya hugged you tightly, whispering with emotion, "Thank you, my lord… they are perfect."
Liora smiled through happy tears as she held Luo Feng, who was proudly showing off his new shadow guardians.
Lukas looked at you with deep brotherly gratitude.
The celebration continued with singing, dancing, and laughter well into the night. The three children were the center of joy — Shihao calm and strong, Cailin playful and bright, Luo Feng curious and protective even at his young age.
