Chapter 304: Tales of the Past (1) (1/2)

A pillar of light that proudly pierced through the glass windows signified the arrival of the next morning. The bright orange star shone with its ever-present powerful luster, dispersing the obscure darkness that dominated the small wooden room.

Upon a small bed just to the right side of the windowsill, the thick quilt began to show signs of movement. A small resident, covered from head to toe began to jitter, causing the large, feather quilt to wobble, sending ripples through its surface.

A higher-pitched, boyish yawn escaped through the feathery mountain, sending its waves through the air, traversing beyond the room, ultimately reaching a certain person at the other side.

As it was a calling, a mature yet familiar feminine voice came from outside the room.

”It is time to get up hun, it's already morning! Get ready and come out. You need to eat your breakfast if you want to have the strength to impress Master Dor'Kalatha. You know how strict he is!”

A soft chuckle ended the feminine voice's speech, with a gentle knock on the wooden door, she seemingly turned around and left, leaving the singular resident to his own.

A second high-pitched but much more powerful yawn resounded in the room, still coming from under the weighted cover before finally it was pushed away. Its resident, finally awoke from his nightly slumber sat up, scratching the top of his haystack of short black hair. The resident, a small youngster, looking 6 years of age at the most yawned for the third time, revealing a row of white, sharp carnivore teeth, instantly shattering any thoughts that he was of human origin despite his physique matching one.

His built became clear to see as the boy stood up and stepped into the bright pillar of light to stretch his limbs. He was of an average height of someone of his age, with a relatively thin physique. He had very light-yellow toned thin scales covering her otherwise pearl-white supple skin. A small, short, cutesy stump of a tail was flickering wildly against the wind originating from his lower back, just atop his hips. Two small bumps could be seen protruding from his naked shoulder blades.

Done with his stretching the boy yawned for the fourth and presumably the last time, finally gathering enough energy to slowly part his closed eyelids and reveal his exotic-looking golden eyelids.

In actuality, if one would look at the boy from a distance, he had a vague resemblance to Aiden, minus the much lighter tone of skin color and the shorter hair. His fingers also didn't end with a set of terrifying curved ebony claws, but with normal, human-like nails.

”It's time to get ready!” Fisting the air with the excitement of the upcoming event of the day the boy turned towards the side door in his room and rushed to wash his face and get ready. He had barely any time to waste before he had to arrive at the training hall to attend Master Dor'Kalatha's test! It was finally time, he finally came of age. He was finally 6, if he could pass the test, he could get his first set of essences and grow stronger!

With great excitement, he rushed to wash his sharp teeth and wash his face from the already prepared wooden bucket of crystal clear, cold water. In a few short moments, he was already back inside his room, rushed to put on his clothes, and burst from his room like a small rocket honed towards the dining room.

Despite the simplistic look and design, the house was actually rather large, something similar to a mansion that if one would compare it to the recently emerging human settlements then they would say that it was probably owned by a noble family.

However then one would be gravely mistaken. This wooden mansion sitting atop a small hill, overlooking the small circular huts stretching where the eye couldn't see could be compared to the highest of royal families of any other civilizations. This simplistic little village was the home of a powerful and very unique race, the Primals.

They were simple creatures, not tied down with such faulty concepts and social standing. The only reason the house was any different than the rest that it had the responsibility to guard and protect the residents. Upon times of danger, its sole purpose was to provide respite within its walls to the young and the old.

They had no military, there was no need for it. There was unity amongst them. Each and every adult man and woman felt the same desire to protect upon times of need. Not that there was any need for it, there was hardly any other race that would be stupid enough to threaten them. They didn't require much land, they weren't violent, they lived in peace in their small piece of land in the depths of a mystical forest stretching across the entire continent.
