Chapter 11: Saint Quiver
"I thought that was a woman."
Rytha was flastered at the fact that quiver was a man he looked more famine than his late mother. Shiro laughed.
"Child will just have to ask him your self when you meet. For now start moving or and stay away from the river."
Rytha was moving in the forest being guided by Shiro. While moving shiro began by explaining to him the most pressing matter the Ranking system of there world which was the fundamental thing taught to all clansmen. Shiro explained that there where seven ranks and in these ranks where teirs which had there on sub ranks. The teirs and sub ranks just measure how strong the class of the monster, demon, or abomination or even human truly was.
The first rank was the Dormant rank, this meant that you had the affinity to wield magic but could not yet learn or use. It also meant that most of your inert abilities where not yet active.
The second rank was the Awakened this rank came when a clan member activated their inert abilities or when a human had passed the wisacal exams for awakened.
The third was the Ascended rank this rank was given when an awakened slayed three legions of prince palaties or corrupted demons. The rank was also given when an awakened mastered the inert ability to unlock an exclusive ability or hidden knowledge of that Awakened who reached this rank where referred to as masters.
The fourth was the Transcended rank this rank was given when an ascended contained atleast thirty corrupted rank gates or evolved their inert abilities to a whole new rank or created new sorcery. Ascended who reached this rank where called saints and in all of history there where not more than a hundred saints.
The fifth was the supreme rank this rank was given when a transcended killed atleast five hundred corrupted titans or contained fifty continental class gets or spent five years in the land of ivay.
Rytha interrupted Shiro before he could continue to the sixth rank.
"Excuse me Shiro, how strong is a corrupted titan?"
Shiro fell silent.
"That's a tough one especially since I can't find anything to compare it to...oh where you taught about continents and there nations ?"
Rytha nodded.
" Yes I was taught Haga was the biggest continent and the biggest nation at the center of our world."
"That is correct but Haga is not the biggest continent, anyways a corrupted titan could destroy Haga in one day, in simple terms if a thousand masters were dispatched to fight the corrupted titan they would all due and not even wound it. I could have used a transcended as an example but you have never met one let alone experienced there aura."
Rytha asked.
"I have met a master?"
Shiro gasped.
"Your father was an ascended a third class to be specific.....he was weak, how did I know? I saw some of your memories."
Rytha had now walked a kilometer from the point he first started at and it was getting dark. Shiro told him to walk faster. As he continued where he left off .
Transcended who reach the supreme rank are called sovereign and there are classified as continental class which means they are only needed to deal with gates or issues big enough to affect an entire continent. This being said in the history of your world there are only three people to reach the supreme rank.
Rytha attentively spoke.
"Please tell me ?"
Shiro spoke.
"These people are the first clan head of the Shirohaga Clan and founder of the land of Haga, the first clan head of the ogurachi clan and....me ."
Rytha looked at the descending sun and asked.
"Shiro if you are really strong. Why are you chained up ?"
Shiro answered in a somber voice.
"Thats because I was not chained by a man and the being who chained me is a rank high than me."
Shiro quickly continued the sixth rank is the sacred rank this is the easiest rank to explain but the second most impossible to achieve, the requirements are you have to kill a demigod or a primordial supreme demon. In all of history there as only been one person who reached the sacred rank and he died a long time ago. Sovereign who reach this rank are called prime.
The last is called the Divine rank this is also straightforward to explain you have to kill fifty demigods or kill ten primordial supreme titans. Only a god can reach this rank. But knowing it is also good for knowledge.
Rytha tilted his head as if looking at Shiro but in the end he just saw a couple of trees.
"Shiro how do did the world become like this?"
"Child the world as always been like this since the age of the Gods now only one God remains.....the supreme one but thats a story for another day."
Rytha had finally reched the foot of the Mountain. And the sun was now gone bringing a shining moon. Rytha looked at the mountain scaling it with his eyes.
"Shiro, how will I get up there."
Shiro was silent for a while then answered.
"Child this will be the last time I will be talking to you for now...I can't keep communicating like this it is draining my soul essence, quiver is not one to just sit at one point like a princess he will find you so move around, ...re...ber to....hey.."
"Shiro ! ,Shiro! "
"I am .....soul essence. See...later "
Shiro had debilitated his soul essence which later Rytha with no way to communicate with him. Now left with no one to talk to Rytha was a little scared he gave one more glance at the peak of the mountain and walked away heading in the left direction. Suddenly a loud noise assaulted his ears it sounded like it came from a wild animal, but in the land of ivay wild animals where as deadly as monsters. As that thought crossed Rytha's mind he was violently pushed to the ground and a sharp pain overwhelmed him Rytha twisted his torso to look at what pushed him his eyes saw a wild boar that was about his height.
Rytha was in pain and as such he couldn't move.
'where did the pig come from....pig? No it's more uglier it's a boar'
The wild boar walked towards him with a proud posture but then what looked like a light bolt hit the ground where the pig stood. The shock wave affected the trees that where within a ten meter radiance and dug a small hole in the ground.
As the dust settled Rytha narrowed his eyes to look at the place where the wild boar previously stood he saw a human figure, the smoke finally settled and Rytha could now see clearly the human figure put on a jade black amor and exude purple essence that radiated power.
At that moment Rytha understood who stood before him.
"Saint Quiver."
