´hmmm? ask away if i know i will answer you´ Myriel answered ´How long are you living in this valley?´ i asked ´For about 3,5 thousand years, why? does it have to do with something?´ Myriel asked ´welp knowing your age will let me see to what extent i can ask so tell me

what happened in this forest during your years´i answered and asked him to tell me the history of the valley.

´I´ll start at the beggining´.

When i was bored i seen my mothers face for the first time it was the first and most beatiful face i´ve ever saw in my life with brown eyes, head and body covered with black fur and blue stripes, her tail weirdly red and the stomach of the snake like tail was green.

The cave in which i was born was slightly lit by sunlight, looking around with my innocent eyes it was just like any other cave with the exception of the pile of bones over the corner.

When i was growing up my mother took me to her hunts, she hunted a variety always saying ´Variety is the spice of life, you cannot always eat just the same thing its bad for you´, there were chickenfishes, boars, birds and other. At first look the boars looked like regular ones except for the horn on their heads which could tear apart boulders and its speed , so we started calling them the horned boars.

The birds were all weird, they had either blue feathers with orange ones and sharp beak or other varieties of colors on their feaths and different colored beaks some had black some had yellowish-orange it was weird but they could use Energies, one of the many methods to get stronger, they store energy in their bodies from the surrounding air and condense it afterwards they can use it to fight and it has lots of advatages over others who couldnt used energy.

after i turned 60 i started cultivating energy it was just the process of gathering , proccesing, storing, using i thought it couldnt get further. After a year i reached the 10th stage of the body strengthening stage which is the basic one practically a foundation for it all.

the stages are as follows: 1. body strengthening 1-10, 2.Heart Tempering 1-10, 3. Mind tempering 1-10, 4. Body refining 1-10, afterwards there are 3ways which you can choose to cultivate further, either you focus on mind and mental attacks, continue with body energy, or use the mysterious force of space which is the hardest one to cultivate but its also powerful it is also said that when you reach mastery over mind you can create objects, living beings by imagining them in your mind

or using your body to condense the energy and create the same things and in the space force as we come to call it can use constellations to create objects now back onto the main topic the stages continues for energy as follows.

5. sensing the energy 1-5, 6. deriving energy 1-5, 7.Condensing energy 1-5, 9. Creation 1-3, 10. The Grand Way 1-2, after it i have no idea what there is as thats the realm where only gods can get and dont get confused the The Grand Way may sound cool but its just a grand battle you have to endure, practically fighting against hundreds of enemies and fighting your inner demon at the same time and only in battlefield can you pass it.

Im currently at the sensing the energy stage 3 and that fox that left is only a step behind me. Its basically a stage where you sense the deep intricacies within the energy and try to sense them then at the deriving you create something only you can use as it is unique to everyone of course if you get reborn you get the same as you got las time.

Approximately 2,5Thousand years ago there was an influx of mixed people with mind, energy, space cultivations and they tried to revive this valley as it was one of the hardest things to do in this world they made it as their ambition that until they dont bring it to life they arent good enough, of course they couldnt do much as the death energy was too strong even for them and some of them died because of it. There was a strong cultivator once and he tried to do it but ultimately failed after 3 days and died a year after as the death energy permeteated to his energy and ate away his energy and life force.

Afterwards only some come here to try but they also hunted us as we were, what they called *rare species* but they couldnt do much before they got killed by the king of the beasts his name is Lyream a blood soaked war bird with a bit of phoenix blood his nest is towards north.

But, they managed to kill that little foxs mother, when i got there she was already on her last breath saying to me to save her, thats shes in danger so i took her up and went into their cave and found two people taking the little fox and subduing her to sell her off in an auction as they were talking about, I latched onto them and managed to kill one with the surprise attack the other one was stronger than the one i killed that was also why i got roughed up and almost killed but thankfully my mother came to save me as i was getting killed she bit off his head and after that i lost consciousness, so i dont remember what happened afterwards but when i woke up i was in my cave together with the fox and my mother was taking care of me and her.She said to me ´Myriel her mother died and she has no place left to go, and i will soon leave too to get more insight in this world and try to get stronger so i give you the task of taking care of her, but till i do not depart i will take care of both of you just dont forget okay?´, afterwards i was taking care of her when my mother left for the world and hunted for her until she was ready to hunt some food herself but she was still too inexpierenced so she suffered a few times but i still worry about her. There also was an existence strong enough to challenge the Lyream they fighted it out for 3days in the end they both retreated and treated their injuries when we were watching it we were shocked and in awe at the same time because of their amazing power, we wished to be like them, powerful.

as time went and go there was only one cultivator who visited here and stopped near your cave only to murmur something under his nose but dissapeared afterwards.

My mother also told me When you reach 5thousand years and get to the creation stage you can transform into a human and go take a look around the world and cities so thats my current ambition as well as the fox´s.

´Welp that should be the long story short, oh the fox is already back with a... fish in her mouth?´ as he said i looked behind me to see a fox rushing towards us with a bit of a chickenfish in her mouth she gently put it in front of Myriel.

´Happy now? wolfie´ she grunted while asking me ´Hey Tymarel why have you been slumbering in this valley?´

´Because long, long ago in a war i have been cursed, the curse gave me immortality yet it also kills everything thats living which directly clashes with my powers as i have the Nature which represents life and the curse represents death and ive slumbered because i tried to contain it´ i answered her question after a while she asked

´Did you succed? oh, well i guess you did as we are not dead nor this valley´, ´Yes i´ve managed to contain it at the cost of my power which is now weakened and i need to get it back so i´ll need to go back to my slumber´.

´O-Oh... i see´ Tyrika said dissapointed. ´Dont sound so dissapointed, we just met and if you want you can come over to my cave to atleast look, even though i wont be giving you hospitality as i will be slumbering and you can come too Myriel if you want to´.

´Even seeing a God is enough as they went beyond The Grand Way so i think i can learn just by watching you´ Myriel answered as i chuckled ´Welp it depends´.

As i bade them farewell i made my way back to the cave and finally because theres sunlight i can see the interior its just a normal cave only the puddle of crystal clear water in the middle of the room, as i come closer to the look i can finally have a look at myself.

Brown eyes, long dark hair, wearing white robe with green outline. ´I still look as i looked back then´i chuckle at the sight of myself ´Lets go to sleep as i need to get back my power.
