Keeping calm in my mind I woke to cries.
My eyes shot open and I immediately tried to move.
Nothing it seems I have no strength?
I saw above me a large cave, To be exact it was a cavern with glowing stones and feint trickles of water.
Again I heard the cries of rainy.
There was a myriad of thoughts but the one that stuck out was not my own!
I focused on it and got the sickest headache.
In my pain I heard a voice not my own speak.
" You have chosen to share the name Nemorinsis making you the First heir of Avarice.
For choices made by the Heirs, Both must be present, Please wait until the other half has gained nominal sentience"
" As the First heir Some actions have been deemed suitable and have become active, active actions have been given to the second heir, Those Two who are one must work as one!"
The headaches continued in wave until I felt something lick me, I was naked it seems and had crapped myself.
The more important part is something licked me clean making me shiver as I tried to look at it.
My eyes began to burn as tears Ran down my face I was looking death in the face was it planning to eat me?!
Above my sister who was beside me, And I was a large black colored beast, It was solid black With two giant Yellow horns.
On its wolf like face was a small Silver mark, That shone bright.
Its purple eyes flicked a look at me staring me directly in the eyes, Before I knew it my hand was exacting to touch it...
When I met its warm nose I giggled!
As did it, With a small wiggle of its nose it spoke.
" You are a smart little one, To have the cognitive ability at so young.
Do not worry I can care for you along with my soon to be cubs.
It is great mama Practice."
I couldn't communicate but with the happiest look in my eyes I blinked.
It seems she knew what I was trying to do.
" Little one there is no need to thank me, Especially after I devoured the thing you call mother.
As for your voice you do not need it, Think of conveying your thoughts to auntie.
I should be able to hear it after all I haven't spoken with my true voice this is telepathic speech."
I tried to project it as I was told.
I continued to think " Thank you!" and then imagined it flying out in waves.
Eventually I got a ting like I hit an object, to be exact I got a ting like hitting metal with a hammer.
The wolf perked it head up and stared at me with a bit of tension.
She spoke hesitantly but still she spoke.
" This tongue is... I have heard this before...
Are you perhaps a... Never mind child.
Let us have a conversation.
My name is Helena, And I am the Saint jade wolf.
This cavern and these mountains are all mine."
This shook me as my little chest beat, She this auntie of mine was the owner of these mountains?!
I once again continued to put my thoughts into waves as I introduced myself.
" I am Rin Nemorinsis Morrow Silver, The little girl is Rainey Nemorinsis Butterfly Morrow silver."
Helena snorted at our names as then spoke.
" Nemorinsis... So then my suspicion was true."
I was wondering about her comments as she looked me up then down and answered.
" The name of my Late master before he passed was Nemorinsis, He was as you suspect the Annex destroyer.
I was his last baron appointed to sainthood...
I am the owner of these mountains but I am not the owner of this region."
I began to think about the things the old man said about how even the strongest human couldn't kill a saint.
And yet he went around appointing them as such.
Helena once again spoke to me.
"Don't bad mouth your own kin."
I froze at her words as if the confirmation of she could read my mind slowly slid by me, She giggled and spoke.
" I am not reading your mind little one, you since beginning the process have been sending out fully developed waves of telepathic speech and imaging."
I looked at her and understood it was totally my mistake.
And thus I changed the topic ten fold and continued on with my question.
"This world is huge isn't it?
I want to know everything if it isn't to much to ask?"
She looked at me as my sister began to cry she shuffled one of her giant paws over.
The tip of her claw grew dew that was white like milk, As the liquid slowly fed my sister by its own volition.
She continued speaking.
" That is a long story but I shall not hold back what I know..."
Helena began her story breaking down the Beast Realm that had been fused to the Mortal Realm permanently.
By none other than my grand father or the original Nemorinsis.
It went in all in all like this.
* Once upon a time the worlds were separated from another this planet was just a simple version of earth that was developed for electronic use.
It went through a cataclysmic event called the Apocalyptic Tide, It was an evolution of sorts.
The people that did it were called Progenitors
And there was those stronger than that called annex masters.
Although they no longer exist and in there stead is the thing called the catalyst or the new generational.
It kept in contact with all the world's eaxh and every one of them began fusing the mana gates, Time rifts, and much more.
They original system fused and became the current one allowing people to cultivate or sign contracts with spirit beasts, Beasts, Mana beasts, mythical class creatures, and even more than that.
A humans soul understanding has changed as soils can nurture creatures.
the cultivation allows those who have accepted The catalyst to evolve even further. although humans can still use technology and such the world has been over run by the one hundred beast clans.
These clans govern over the one hundred regions of which they share with the ten human clans.
With the ten humans clans governing over ten of each beast clans the humans made peace with their fate asking for civility with the beasts.
Thus the parts were formed although the beasts were clearly the stronger they saw the relentlessness of humans and the failures to wipe them became more and more popular.
Until my grandmother proposed that humans would not change the dynamic.
Thus beasts rule Supreme and over the centuries they have grown into a stale mate.
Humans are still not lost but the clans are thinning as humans cannot stop the enthrall of war fighting not only with creatures for more but themselves as whole clans wipe other out.
Thus establishing many foot holds in a one handed hold.
The beasts Progenitors of each clan numbered in the hundreds control the beasts by giving what is called freshening zones.
This mountain range is one such freshening zone.
it allows children to be birthed and grown without troubles from other beasts, But not from humans.
The ranks of beasts are simple, They go, White, Yellow, black, Blue, Green, purple, jade, Silver, black Silver, gold, Black gold, platinum, Pure Platinum, Amethyst Purple, demi Saint, Saint, Great Saint, Demi God, God, Progenitor, Grand Progenitor And GrandMaster Progenitor.
The humans Are much harder to discern from just ranks as they have low teirs, mid tiers, and high teirs Along with ranks from low to high.
they go, White tier, green tier, blue tier, Orange tier, purple tier, Bronze tier, Iron tier, Silver tier, Gold tier, platinum Tier, Obsidian tier, and Amethyst teir.
Each Tier has Seven ranks, Bronze, Iron, Silver, gold, Obsidian, and amethyst.
Which each rank has its own level from one to five...
One must advance through cultivation by passing each level to advance through each rank to advance through each Teir.
The complicated game they play to make one another feel inferior is the highest rank of all.
Godly!
The humans here are shallow and are greedy for things they do not own.
The easiest ranks to remember are the taming ranks which in order to continue cultivation, One must gather soul strength, Mental strength and physical strength.
Not all creatures contain these strengths though, Even ones mana and Qi can be strengthened by beasts.
Although one soul cannot claim more than a certain amount of tamed beasts
A soul cannot fathom its strength in cultivation either.
Even though the soul can gain the beast in many Ways.
Starting with equal opportunity for beast and human the tamer can collect three, At the beginner level.
As for soul force pacts a tamer can only claim one at the beginner level.
As for a soul Beast pact from killing the beast can only be gathered if the beast drops its Soul pact, Other wise a killed beast usually leaves behind a soul weapon, or soul armor, or even a soul core.
These except for the soul pact are freely gained and freely lost.
The levels of taming are as follows, Trainee, Disciple, Practitioner, Graduate, Expert, Leader, Master, Grand Master, Legend, Ancestor, Saint, grand saint.
Each Tier of experience has Seven ranks associated.
Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, diamond, and amethyst.
The accumulation of Tiers does not mean the one who has the accumulated experience is the superior.
Although that does not stop these foolish mortals.
Most human cultivation isn't random and sometimes the lack of talent with a talented soul has brought about a crutch.
That crutch is the denomination of a soul.
A souls color may be White yet that individuals talent is prodigal.
Thus far humans have only faced few problems with their egos thus color determines the amount of work needed for that individual.
Meaning those with the better color are coveted like royalty, Yet they are spreading chaos as talent is not inheritance, Nor is it inherited by blood.*
As she told her story she didn't forget to feed me or my sister, She also cleaned up which I was both in awe of and very shy about.
It seemed like the day flew by and even though all I did was lie here I was tired.
she giggled at me before she decided it was bed time which was her covering us with one of her paws.
Once again I felt warmth wash over me as I rested.
Dozing off into the void!
