Northern mountain range was standing there like a gigantic ancient monument. The ancestoral land of Sylvia clan was located in a beautiful valley under the Northern mountain range.
White Orchid flowers bloomed in the valley all year around. So, the name of the valley was kept 'White orchid valley'.
At this moment, a little boy was chasing after a horned dog on the small river bank. He was Evan who became five years old recently. "Stop whitey, you can't go away. You must say sorry to sister Sophie", Evan shouted towards the horned dog.
Whitney was a horned dog from the magical beast guards of Sylvia clan. All magical beasts were generally fierce and untamable in nature but there were always some exception.
Take the horned dogs for example, If any cultivator managed to tame a puppy of a horned dog, then that puppy would remain loyal to the said cultivatator. Many also loved to take magical beasts as mounts as it was a common practice in the Thousand swords kingdom.
Seeing Evan closing the distance between them, the horned dog got panicked. It quickly dug a hole in the ground using its' horns and quickly escaped from Evan.
Young Evan became irritated after seeing the fleeing of the horned dog.
"Whitey stop escaping, otherwise I will punish you later. Don't think you can flee from me all the time. I will catch you easily after attaining the awakening ceremony", Evan shouted at the horned dog.
Thinking about the awakening ceremony, an excited look appeared on Evan's immature face. He was always looking forward to participate in this ceremony.
The awakening ceremony was the most important step for every human child who aspired to become a heavenly warrior. In awakening ceremony a child's magic affinity towards heavenly elements was tested.
Some may got affinity for earth or some may got affinity for fire. In worst case some may had affinity for weakest element water.
And in some very rare cases, some may had affinity for thunder. Among heavenly elements thunder was the strongest and with it one could unleash formidable devastating techniques.
"Evan, don't run around chasing Whitey. Aunt Olivia is calling you", A little girl's sweet voice came from behind.
She was Sophie Sylvia, daughter of Lucas Sylvia. Lucas Sylvia was the chief of Sylvia clan. Sophie was a beautiful slender girl with a pony tail tied behind her head. She was seven years old currently and two years older than Evan. Her little head was surprisingly full of silver hair and it made her uniquely different from other members of the Sylvia clan.
"But sister Sophie, Whitey took food from you and ran away. Most importantly, he was getting away from me for two days now. I am getting pissed", Evan replied with an honest look on his face.
Sophie looked at the innocent expression of Evan and didn't know what to say anymore. The little prince of Thousand swords kingdom grown to become a smart boy and his hubby was to chase after wild animals in the valley.
The strang thing was the fact that he was also a friend to many wild animals in the valley region. Sometimes his frienship created headache for Sylvia clan experts because
wild animals were hunted for food supply and the involvement of Evan made it difficult for Sylvia clan experts to kill the said wild animal.
"You must stop, otherwise I will tell Aunt Brianna that you are causing trouble again", Sophie spoke in a thretning tone. Evan stopped hurriedly after listnining the name of Aunt Brianna.
"Sister please don't tell teacher. I will go home now", Evan looked towards Sophie in a pitiful manner. Sophie nodded her head seriously but she was trying her best to not laughing out loud after seeing the changed expression of Evan. Afterall who didn't know that the little daredevil could only be controlled if someone take the name of first queen infront of him.
Evan went home after running away from valley and went to the palace of his mother while controlling the sound of his footsteps.
In a simple looking room, a beautiful woman was sitting. Her beauty was ethereal and gave others a feeling of calm and peacefulness. She sat there like a fairy free of mortal worries.
Looking at the sneaking Evan, a smille appeared on her calm looking face. She was Olivia, the second queen of Thousand swords kingdom.
Olivia smiled sweetly at Evan and asked in a doting manner, "Child, why are you sneaking around in your own home. Are you again making friends with those wild animals?"
A wary smile appeared on little Evan's face after he heard the words of his mother. His mother never scolded him but she could always guess what he was doing outside.
"Mother, is teacher around? Is someone complained about me to her?
I promise, I have not done anything today. I was only chasing Whitey near the river", Evan sweared.
Olivia smiled at the little fool infront of her and spoke, "Don't call your aunt Brianna as teacher. You most call her aunt and listen to her every words. Do you understand?"
Evan nodded his head but an unpleasant incident appeared in his mind and a sour look appeared on his face.
Not long ago, his aunt Brianna brought some odd looking, foul smelling herbs from Northern mountains and after mixing them with blood of some fierce animals, she found Evan for the training.
She poured the mix of herbs and the blood of fierce animals in an iron pot and made Evan sit inside it.
It was a horrible experience for Evan. His whole body became stiff and started to burn from inside. He could not play for three days after it!
At that time, Evan was almost bored to death. It was a horrifying experience to him but he had to close his mouth after seeing the benifit he had received from the training. His punch became strong enough to hurt Whitey!
But despite the benifit, Evan still didn't want to go through that horrifying experience. So, he became frightened whenever someone mentioned the name of his aunt infront of him.
