Chapter 2 - 2 Death wind blows hard

(Ten years pass...)

Now considered almost an adult, Aidan has embraced his new name and new life. Ten years have passed in the outside world and Shi has learned how to hunt and survive. He was out hunting on his birthday with his small family when tamers appeared out of nowhere.

Outnumbered by the party by six to one, his father told him in a whisper to disappear and run.

Doing what he was told he blended in as he hears the people ask where the pengali is at. His father says," I will never tell you." With a sound like thunder, he sprung at the Tamer and pulled out his swords to strike the Tamer dead. The Tamer dodged and used his Beasts to attack and grapple his father. As he watched his father try to fight using his immense strength and claws he couldn't beat the Tamers beast because Shi realized what it was. It was the Kurza, one of the most feared Beasts, for this Tamer to have one he is either wealthy or highly skilled.

It quickly turned into a one sided slaughter as Shi watches his family slaughtered and something snaps inside of him. He had grown up with stories about these Tamers and now he understands. They must be eradicated and so as he watches his family die and the Tamers take away and butcher them. Aidan full embraces the vengeance in his heart and calls out to the heavens that if he is given the strength to fulfill his vengeance that he will kill in the name of that god.

A voice comes beckoning after this and whispers in his mindscape. "Become the Death Wind and I will give you the power to blow harder than a hurricane and you will become a force greater than nature. You will become a calamity to the Tamers."

Aidan answered the voice and said," I will fully embrace the name given to me and I will be your instrument of destruction. They must pay..."

So began the birth of the legend of Shi Kaze, the whisper in the wind and the air that last leaves the body right before death.

Under the banner of Vangaras, Shi would spend the next ten years waging war and making a fortune. He became a myth or a fable told to scare children. His hate grew deeper and deeper until it consumed him slowly.

He was sent to investigate the stories of a Tamer who seemed to be growing an army poised to topple the nations central government and create a Tamer run nation.

For weeks, he staked out the locations given to him by his contacts. He was getting ready to liberate the beasts held there when he finds himself betrayed to the Tamer Union and in a last ditch effort hides himself inside the base of the one he had been hunting.

The Tamer looks at him when he catches him and without saying a word closes the door behind Shi saving him even when the Union comes knocking. The strange Tamer even lied and hid Shi amongst the others.

That's when Shi notices something he didn't expect. It seems this Tamer had been gathering injured or "unusable" beasts. This doesn't make sense though all Tamers are inhumane monsters but why did this one act differently.

A few days go by and still no hunters showing up to take us all away. Perhaps being a Tamers beast isn't such a bad idea as long as it's this person.

This Tamer seems to be an outsider like me and mistreated by the others around him calling him a freak and a coward. They mock him because he has no beast even though he seems to be quite knowledgeable and caring.

"Thank you for saving me and these others. Though I don't trust other Tamers and I still hate them because of you I am willing to look past the past and reconsider. I don't know how I can help but you saved my life so my life is yours until you die." Shi says

The Tamer looks at Shi and seems to not understand him at first but as Shi kneels down and puts a hand on the Tamers head. The touch sent shocks through the Tamer as his mind opened up and in his mind he saw a strange beast.

It stood eye to eye with him covered in rainbow colored iridescent scales with a long trunk and a set of large horns on its head and other joints with long claws on his three fingered hands.

"I am called Shi and from this day forward I will guard your life with my own."

The Tamer looked at him and saw a screen pop up for him and the new contract. He had heard about this screen in class but since he was the last one in class to get a beast he had given up hope. He was picked on for not taking advantage of the hurt ones he healed.

As he was looking at it, there was a knock on the door and he quickly used his instincts to pull the Beast into his mind scape now called the Sanctuary. Each Tamer had a different name for their mind scape but like monsters they were classified and grouped together.

Tier 1-5: Tiers are based on strength. Tier one is the official lowest. Tamers tiers are based off their beasts and in the case of multiple contracts based on strongest in the group.

Tier 0: Unranked for various reasons. Considered by some to be a waste of resources but keeps the world running.

Group classifications: Strength, Protection or Wisdom. The mind will pick a name for itself based around one of these three concepts and the skills you can acquire with be focused around them too.

The Tamer answers the door and there is his class leader and considered the number one Tamer in the region for his age. His name is Masahi Mursame and he was a second generation rich person and first son of the City government.

He looked at the Tamer who Shi now understood was called Fargal. He noticed that this person at the door was human while his new Tamer seemed to be a dwarf. It would appear the dwarves had not produced a Tamer in centuries and Fargal originally was supposed to be their beacon.
