Kael wakes up in a forest covered by a blanket of some white,cold substance and is amazed as this is the first time he has ever seen snow. Even though this is not his home he finds the forest he is in familiar . The big tree he used to play on with his blood hound ,Grey is exactly where it is supposed to be but the difference is that it has a lively luster . The same tree Kael remembered was a just a husk of empty wood a second ago .

"Man l told mom those mushrooms had something in them l must be dreaming right now and l m out knocked out cold" the voice in Kael 's head said .

"who is talking in my head and why does this voice sound like an older and mature voice of myself " he does it again.

Like every normal teenage in this situation Kael passes out.

All is dark for a moment then Kael wakes up back in the forest he grew in Grey , big 144 pounds ,black dog with grey snakehead-like pattern on his head , running towards him. Everything was exactly how he left it like the great Musasa tree is in it's place nothing out of the ordinary,it is still the dried out piece of wood that has seen and experienced alot . A sunny day with birds chirping not the semi dead,cold, atmosphere he had hallucinated minutes ago . Kael is tackled by an over excited Grey and jolts up to find himself in the frost covered forest again.

Slime covering his face Kael wakes up in the most unlikely situation as he is starting into the eyes of a creature he knows nothing about but judging from it's confident eye contact with him it's a predator. It looked like a lion but unlike lions it's fur was snow white and it was bigger than a polar bear combined with a tiger which is crazy as these two are already too big , two jagged task-like teeth were protruding from it's mouth , serpentine looking eyes gave it a treacherous,yet dangerous aura.

"Fate why are you messing with my life what have l done to deserve this,this must be the Elyrian saber tooth " Kael's mind voice

"And how did l run into this creature it's been ten thousand years since it has been extinct " his mind voice continues to yap on

Kael looks at his wrist,the strange object "tied"to it with the name Rolex Oyster perpetual tick tock tick tock

"Why did l have to pick this up "

Elyria is a world where bats see,cows fly to the moon and back ,a world where instead of humans being the only dominant beasts they have to share the planet with other races both new variants and some older than mankind. Although this world looks like earth don't be fooled by the similarities as in this world it is not fuel or nuclear weapons that are essential and make the world go round it nature and magic that rules this planet.Who does she(nature) do this through an energy called the Pulse this pulse is the life force in everything in the world and beyond everything even the universe itself has this Pulse . In Elyria they r some creatures that are more sensitive to this pulse more than other creatures these beings are called Ethereans,the sons and daughters of the heavens that can extend their will in form of the type of Pulse they are affiliated with and are able to do the type of things only seen in legends in our world(Earth)

A psychope,a name for the Ethereans connected to minds ,named Oliver ten thousand years ago using the Philosopher stone ( a once off relic that enhances one's ability to a world ending level in exchange of their soul) combined all of the languages into one formal language and forcefully installed it in everything that could communicate .This feat was awesome but because he was young this adjustment was more passive than compulsory to the people of Elyria thus other dialects existed besides the Destopian tongue (universal language ) . Even so the people of Elyria accepted this development and used this system of communication thus the planet of Elyria was now united in a way.

Thousands of years later a legend would be born in the lowest of the lowest cast in the whole of Elyria.This day everything in Elyria would change either for the best or the worst this was up to the mythical figure's choices in his life. Before Kael was even born his life was already written in the stars and it was going to be by his hand that this writing would be changed or broadened.

It was a sunny afternoon,the birds were chirping,a breeze was making it's way down the valley and smoke could be seen slowly creeping it's way up the sky from a certain village in the Gryaznoi continent (similar to Australia in real life earth).This village was riddled by mud, stone and pole huts that looked more like mushrooms on a decaying tree trunk ,these huts were painted using tree roots and tree leaves in patterns that looked like prehistoric animals which outsiders would see they would think it was a museum .Multiple voices could be heard in the village but one voice was more audible than the others it was loud yet calm but at the same time oozing authority.

"Kael Kael***come here this instance " a tall ,slender woman with black ,long,hair messily covering her face ,which from the breeze that was in the area ,was shown in glimpses uncovering a peerless beauty within it was like a curtain was opening and closing to uncover the beautiful interior of a house then closing as if to tease the noisy by stander.

" coming mother" answers a 5.6 tall young man with a face that looks like a carbon copy of the woman but has more masculine features that differentiate him from here a beard and a cracking voice that seems to alternate between base and soprano.

"You should stop treating me like a child" he complains under his breathe .

"I heard that they don't call me Syrene the banshee for nothing l can scream and blow your brain out of your head through your ear and vice versa" says the woman

"hahaha is that supposed to scared me mom u can barely hurt a fly "says Kael as he approaches his mother who tries to embrace the young lad who somehow evades the embrace leaving his mother hanging.

"One of these days you will miss my hugs you lil smoochy mouse "Syrene says this while pouting a lil "remember the mountain ceremonial rite is tomorrow, l have brought you this delicious mushroom soup to remind of home "

"Mom ahh you shouldn't say that the other boys will laugh at me for centuries if they were to discover that my mother is instructing me on how to help things tomorrow and bringing me food" Kael complains whilst looking around him to see if anyone heard that or saw what he was given by his mother.

"Quit acting like a ..." Syrene is suddenly cut off by one lonely shriek that is telegraphed from the centre of the village to the far edges of the village were she and her son are.Like a contagious spell of chicken pox this shriek multiplies all the way to the far reaches . A soul wrecking horrendous roar soloed all the shrieks that were now in the area and for a second it everything was still, the silence was loud not even the birds made a sound it was as if nature herself was shaking cowardly in a corner waiting for something horrible to take place.
