what does it mean to be human part 1
After reaching a very long journey to find the hidden base, Queen Austria reached a conclusion as she looked at her daughter in her arms, realizing that she deserves a better life. She thought to herself, feeling the weight of her responsibilities as a parent. Basil, Lily, Jak the half-elf, and Professor Green were about to leave when the queen stopped them with a loud shout of "Wait!"

The gang looked around in surprise as Queen Austria inhaled deeply, her voice steady as she addressed them, "I understand you have all gone through a long and arduous journey to find us, Basil. But now, I have a new duty for you." She gently passed her baby, Amelia, back into Basil's arms.

Basil looked puzzled, his brow furrowed in confusion. "I don't understand, why are you giving your daughter away?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

Queen Austria smiled through tears in her eyes, her voice soft but determined, "Because I want her to have a better life. It is my duty as a parent to ensure that my child is not involved in bloodshed. There will come a time when you will fulfill her destiny, but for now, I want her to have a peaceful and happy life."

Basil accepted the mother's wishes without question, feeling the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders. As he turned to leave, Kaisan, the wise old mage, shouted out to him, "Basil, you're going to need this." He tossed an object in the air, which Basil caught instinctively.

"What is this?" Basil asked, inspecting the object closely in his hands.

Kaisan nodded, a twinkle in his eyes, "That, my young friend, is your destiny. It is an armor link, a tool that will help you in your journey to becoming a Haven Knight."

Basil's eyes widened in surprise, "An armor link? But why me?"

Kaisan smiled, "There will come a time when the forces of evil rise once more. It will be up to the new generation of heroes to fight the battles we started. You, Basil, have been chosen for this task."

As Basil prepared to depart, Kaisan reached into his robe and pulled out a map and a beacon, handing them to Basil with a solemn expression. "Once you master the armor link of destiny, Black Wing, come back to me. I will finish your training and prepare you for the challenges ahead," he said, his voice filled with wisdom.

Sirous and Mida, the other members of the group, appeared next to Kaisan, wishing Basil the best of luck on his journey. Lily hugged him tightly, her eyes shining with unshed tears, "Come back to us, Basil. We believe in you."

Basil nodded, the weight of his new responsibilities settling on his shoulders. "I will not let you down. I promise to protect Amelia and fulfill my destiny as a Haven Knight," he said, his voice strong and determined.

As he turned to leave with his companions, Queen Austria watched them go, a mixture of pride and sorrow in her heart. She knew that she had made the right decision in giving her daughter a chance at a better life. And as she watched Basil and his friends disappear into the horizon, she knew that they would bring hope and light to a world overshadowed by darkness. And so, the journey of Basil, the chosen Haven Knight, began - a journey filled with danger, adventure, and the promise of a brighter future for all.

Basil: "But what about this map? What does this lead to?"

Kaisan: *smiles* "To the other armor links. I scared them right before you crash landed so the Dark Haven Empire wouldn't detect us. But be cautious, this is not going to be easy."

Basil: *confused* "I still don't understand. What are we supposed to do?"

Kaisan: "Trust me, we have to find the other armor links to defeat the empire. It's our only hope."
