Geographically, Eldoria boasts diverse terrains, ranging from majestic mountain ranges that reach towards the heavens, to lush and enchanted forests teeming with mystical creatures. Crystal-clear lakes reflect the shimmering light of the twin moons while sprawling plains stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted with quaint villages and bustling trade routes.
Coming to the forces in Eldoria, there were four powerful families who shared the territory and resources depending on their strengths.
The four powerful families according to their ranking were:
1) Silvercrest Family from Silver City.
2) Shadowthorn Family from Shadow City.
3) Stormrider Family from Storm City.
4) Moonshadow Family from Moon Forest.
Leo's father is the leader of the Stormrider Family whereas Leo's mother was the daughter of the Moonshadow Family's head Magnus.
Thanks to the marriage, the two weakest families, the Stormrider Family and the Moonshadow Family formed an alliance with the marriage.
Even though the families seemed to be peaceful on the surface, everyone wanted to become the sole ruler of Eldoria.
It's been a little more than six years since Leo's father Valerian Stormrider went on a mission and had yet to return and the family was currently looking after his father's blood brother and the Uncle who gifted him the 'Bracelet of Hidden Nest'.
If not for the Life Jade that his mother was holding, everyone would have concluded that Valerian might have long died on his mission.
Soon, Leo entered his mother's room where she was sitting cross-legged on a huge lotus with her eyes closed.
The moment Leo arrived close to her room, the huge doors opened automatically.
"What questions do you have now?"
Sera asked Leo with a slight smile.
Sera was already used to Leo asking questions about various things. Initially, she was surprised at Leo's ability to think; however, remembering the halo Leo had when he was born, she stopped thinking much about it.
"Mother, can you tell me about the 'Awakening Ceremony'? If you don't say it now, I will not eat my dinner."
Leo was serious when he said those words; however, in Sera's eyes, it looked cute, making her pull Leo into her embrace.
"Are you sure you don't want to eat it? Today's dinner is your favourite dish."
Sera chuckled a little as she asked Leo.
"I- I am serious this time. I won't eat until you explain to me about the Awakening Ceremony."
For a moment, Leo faltered; however, he quickly composed himself and nodded his head.
"...."
Sera looked at Leo for a few moments without saying anything and eventually, she gave up and decided to explain about the awakening ceremony.
"Even though there are still nine more years for you to participant in the 'Awakening Ceremony', I will explain about it."
Sera asked, "You already know Eldoria is also known as the world of Beast Masters, right?"
"Yes."
"The path of Beast Masters starts from that awakening ceremony where everyone who reached 15 years would be given a chance to enter the 'Beast Sanctuary' to pick their first beast egg."
"However, to get that chance to enter the Beast Sanctuary, you need to pray to the Beast Tamer God who will help you awaken a talent. Sometimes, there are times where one might not awaken a Beast Tamer's talent…which is almost impossible to happen as everyone can awaken their Beast Tamer's talent easily these days."
"In that case, that person won't be allowed to enter the Beast Sanctuary. Without gaining access to the Beast Sanctuary, that person is bound to remain normal. "
While explaining, Sera looked at Leo's face and seeing that he revealed a smile, Sera heaved a sigh of relief because most children would start worrying about the worst possible scenario of not awakening a Beast Tamer's talent.
'It looks like the chances of awakening a Beast Tamer's talent is 50-50.'
Even though Sera said it was very rare not to awaken a Beast Tamer's talent, Leo could sense that she only said those words to not make him worry.
"Mother, go on and tell me more about the [Beast Tamer's Path]."
Leo was calm as he asked Sera to explain more about the Beast Tamer's Path.
"Sure."
Seeing that her son was not worried about the 'Awakening Ceremony', Sera was in a good mood as she continued to explain about the [Beast Tamer's Path].
"A Beast Tamer's path is classified into five grades starting from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple and Diamond and each grade is further classified into ten levels."
"At each grade, the Beast Tamer could form a contract with a Beast and awaken a talent. As for increasing the grades and levels, it depends on the beasts that the beast tamer formed a contract with…."
"Sera, how many times do I have to tell you not to say such things to the child?"
As Sera was explaining about the [Beast Tamer] and the related stuff, an old voice stopped Sera from speaking.
"Father"
It was her father Magnus Moonshadow and Leo's grandfather.
"He is just six years old and let him have the life of a normal six-year kid. Once he begins that path, he won't have time to enjoy these little things."
Magnus was a little angry at Sera; however, when he looked at Leo, it disappeared as he said, "Leo, your uncle has come to see you. Why don't you go and say hello to him?"
"Uncle came? Then, I will let Grandpa and Mother discuss the Family's matters. I will go and play with my uncle."
As soon as Leo heard of his uncle, he rushed out of the room and of course, he didn't forget to use his [Quasi-Divine Knowledge] to get information about the huge lotus that his mother was sitting on.
…..
Beast Name: Dawn Lotus (Gold Grade).
Beast Type: Plant
Beast Skills: Vinewhip, Pollen Bullets, Link, Mind Calming Fragrance,....
Information: A plant-type beast that mostly helps the beast tamer in slowly increasing their beast tamer's rank.
…..
'What? That lotus is a beast?'
There was full detailed information about the Dawn Lotus appearing in Leo's head and when he learned that Lotus was a beast, Leo was extremely shocked.
