Chapter 12 :Clan history
It was close to the end of spring and the summer sun was already shining bright in the land of Haga. It had now been a year after the death of the Shirohaga Clan leader. According to Haga's custom after a clan leader died he had to be moarned for a year then a new clan leader would be chosen. This was due to certain events that transpired when the continent was first named.
A strikingly unique eight-year-old boy, standing at 5 feet 7 inches tall approximately 1.7 meters an extraordinary height for his age, hinting at an otherworldly nature. His auburn hair flowed in soft, fiery strands, catching the light like molten copper, while his piercing red eyes burned with an intensity that seemed to gaze straight into one's soul. His alabaster skin was almost ethereal, as if carved from the purest marble, lending him an aura of fragility and mystique.
He wore a long, elegantly crafted tunic, its fabric shimmering faintly with a metallic sheen. Embroidered over his chest was a fiery emblem, its flame-like design alive with intricate details, each flicker a testament to the artisan's skill. The flames seemed to dance subtly with his every movement, capturing the essence of power and passion.
On the back of his tunic was a striking phoenix engulfed in flames: it was more of a stylized phoenix rising from swirling embers, its wings stretching outward in a mesmerizing blend of intricate lines and vibrant shades. The emblem seemed almost alive, its fiery hues glimmering faintly against his pale skin, as if it harbors a hidden energy waiting to be unleashed.
Kaguya stood in the throne room waiting for the clan elders to arrive, shortly after the clan elders arrived. The clan elders where the advisers of the clan head the custodians of the a clan's knowledge and where usually the second most powerful members in a clan both in strength and status.
In the Shirohaga Clan the word "Clan Elder" meant that You had mastered the fourth stage of the Tenagen which was the Clan's bloodline trait most Clan elders where all of the ascended rank. The previous clan head had reached the fifth stage of the bloodline trait which made him valid to be clan head.
Has the Clan elders stood in the throne room with kaguya the oldest among them gestured to kaguya for them to head to the seats that where arranged at a large table.
Everyone including Kaguya took there seats in at the large table surprisingly know one took the seat of the part of the table that only had one chair. There where Ten Clan elders in total but half the half of the had been massacred by Rytha when he was under the hex. The remaining five where now seated at the table.
The eldest one smiled at Rytha and began to speak.
"My name is Ascended Barn but you can call me Elder Barn Kaguya we have summoned you here because to day is the end of the mourning ceremony. And now we must choose a clan leader now before I go any further you must know the history and requirements of being the clan leader of the Shirohaga Clan.
You see long ago when the continent was at war with itself not because of monsters but because of disputes over everything a lone figure emerged from that chaos and created a clan that lone figure was extremely powerful he was a saint, he resolved many terrible disputes and united the continent we now live in he named this continent Haga.
The Clan he created Shirohaga was a small but powerful clan and one of the most important customs he put in place was the crowning of a new head once the previous one either stepped down or passed away, He stated The Head of the Shirohaga Clan should come from the main house hold, Have Shirohaga blood, possess the Tenagen with the mastery of atleast the second stage, He should also collect thirty scales of a primordial dragon on a full moon, the scales would be used as armament for when he went to do Battle as the clan head. And these where the requirements."
Elder Barn was silent for some time letting Kaguya digest the information then continued.
"Kaguya Shirohaga second son of Acended Tensen Shirohaga leader of the Shirohaga Clan as the legitimate First born son of the Shirohaga main house hold and Holder of the Second stage of the Tenagen, I Barn Shirohaga ask for you to be clan head."
Kaguya's eyes shone bright.
