Hey, wake up, Niel, let's go wake up – Listen to Choss, through the blanket – Today we have tutoring with our parents, they are going to talk about our talents.

While being dragged by my sister to the room, I remembered yesterday, after the ceremony, our mother approached us and asked how many talents we had, we looked at her without knowing what to answer.

Perhaps realizing how silly the question was, we returned to our house, it was already late at night and he taught us how to visualize our sea of consciousness. Something quite amazing, a space that gave me the feeling of being infinite and in the middle of it, floated a couple of doodles that were constantly changing, when I told her that, she told us that each doodle represented a talent, for which we got a Legacy talent in addition to natural talent, so, we would have additional tutorials on handling these with them (referring to my father and her), plus we had to rest until our talents settle.

Mom, we're ready - Choss yelled - after entering the room.

I'm coming, wait a minute - I heard my mother's voice, as she left the kitchen - Ah, Niel, as always, you get up late - she said as she looked at me.

I'm sorry mother - I answered meekly knowing my mistake, it was already lunch time. In addition, she was not the matriarch of the village for nothing, her look when something bothered her was intimidating, perhaps the only one immune to that look would be my father, he always walks with a smile, that's why he is always called happy fool, at least in our family.

Niel, don't bother your mother - I heard my father's voice as he entered the house, he said it with his silly smile, I looked at him disdainfully, I promised myself to be more serious than my father and the head of the house in the future.

Well, let's begin, try to feel one of the talents within your sea of consciousness, just focus on them and tell me what you feel it means - my mother said, as we sat on the living room furniture - start your Choss.

My sister closed her eyes while concentrating – after a while she opened her eyes and said – way.

And the other? - asked my mother

Mmm - while concentrating again, he said - connection

Mother turned her gaze to me, and told me to do the same.

I felt somewhat lost, my little dream of being a worthy boss, and superior to my father was shattered. After thinking several times about how sad my luck was, I closed my eyes and concentrated – one is word and the other is flow – I answered.

Well - my mother replied - you must have already realized, each talent is a word in itself, this word explains what is the use of said talent, some may seem stronger than others. According to the stories, they were also the names of some of the elementals, colossal or divine, this is our connection with our ancestors and with Nothingness. – I speak while looking at the ceiling – the path and word talents are those that are transmitted through the legacy of the chiefs of the villages.

Turning his gaze to Choss, he continued – the path specializes in connecting with the Shara, those of us with this talent can connect to the path, and lead others to this path, as in the confirmation ceremony, or in the many other ceremonies In addition, we can discover its mysteries, then interpret them to be able to predict something in the future, such as when it will rain, what it would be good to plant, if there will be a conflict and many other things, those who have this talent have the duty to lead the village to a good path .

Looking at me, I continue – The talent of the word is linked to the Sheba, those who have that talent are blessed by the Sheba, and can communicate over long distances through it, since we inhabit it, another use, amplifying or diminishing the power of someone else's talent or your own, this is normally used in times of conflict, so your duty in times of peace is to be the messenger and a support in times of conflict.

Or a commander, if you're good at it, like me - my father said, as his smile widened, and then noticing the astonishment on my face, he put on a haughty smile.

How can this happy fool be a commander? Quickly changing my expression to one of contempt, I questioned within myself.

Noticing my expression, my mom growled.

Well in the next few years you will learn from us the use of your legacy talent, in addition to your normal classes. Choss you will learn from me and your Neil from your father, when they turn 15, the kingdom will appoint them an academy within a city to continue their studies, in addition to socializing with other Nobles.

Other nobles? Choss asked.

Yes Choss, we are also nobles, well, although we are only barons - replied mother - all those who have these legacy talents obtain the title of baron, it is a law that was established since the beginning of the kingdom, and it is not only our kingdom, but also others, it is said that even other races have a similar law.

I looked at my mother, with a doubtful face, perhaps realizing this, she explained to us why, and the reason for this.

In crude words, a normal being is no match for a talented being. The same happens with the kingdoms, the more people with talent, the stronger it is, it could be said that the survival of a kingdom depended on the quantity and quality of the talents of its population.

Now, how does one obtain a talent? By connecting with the Shara, and being aware of it, something that is normally done in anointing ceremonies, which are normally done by village chiefs with the help of their talents.

That need and the talent that the chiefs of the villages have, are what gives them such importance within the kingdom and why titles are conferred on them.

Now why do they live in such isolated and remote places? Because of the connection with the Shara. Well, these places have a great connection with the Shara, and the deeper the connection of the place with the Shara, the more effective the ceremony performed in that place, these places are called Shara Gates.

Now why a town instead of a city? Because of the number of people. Since every person with a talent occupies some of it, this can reduce the amount of connection of the place, making it less useful for anointing ceremonies.

Now why do they have to live there, is it not enough to go to that place when there are ceremonies? For the legacy. Only those who are born and live within these Shara Gates receive the legacy talent of the path and the word, in addition to having to be leaders (or children of these) of the people who live in said land. According to the stories of the past, those who lived in these places were called Guardians of the Gate, and those who lead them were Chief Guardians of the Gate, although they stopped being referred to as such a long time ago.

In addition to all this, the towns are not totally separated from the rest of the cities, instead it can be said that it is surrounded by them, this to protect these villages in times of crisis.

Now the most important thing, the talent of the path and the talent of the word are mutually beneficial, through these, when performing the ceremonies, these not only cover a single place, but depending on the amount of connection it can reach nearby cities. . Now if this were all, they would not be so great, but also, through the mutual work of the talent of the word and the way, during the anointing ceremony a formation that encompasses the entire kingdom can be made, using the villages as benchmarks, making all the new born can get talents, through the guidance of the talent owner of the path that is amplified and transmitted by the help of the talent owner of the word.

That is the reason for everything.

Mom, only our talents can do that? Choss asked.

To which my mother replied – No, there are other talents that can also allow the connection with the Shara, but they are not as efficient, nor legacies, as ours, for example, your other connection talent can allow that connection of a person with the Shara, although they could only from person to person, and there are many other similar talents that have similar functions, the same for the word.

My mom stretched and made the gesture of getting up to deal with other tasks, my father quickly stopped him and said - Don't forget the other - my mother looked at him, with doubts - the crop - my father replied when he saw his expensive.

Ah - my mother remembered, as she patted her head. – I almost forgot – said my mother with a strange face – children, how do you think that talents make the kingdom stronger? – My mother asked, while looking at us still with that strange face, which gave us both goosebumps.

My father secretly coughed, and said - darling your face.

Oh, I'm sorry – he said as he collected himself, between hidden coughs – Well, do you remember the story? The anointed ones to defeat the divine ones that bound them, absorbed the energy of their fellow human beings who sacrificed themselves for this cause. We call this cultivation, by absorbing the energy that our environment offers us, we can strengthen our talents, if you look at your talents again you will be able to see the size and shape of your talents, they are characters with different strokes, depending on the strength of your talent may have from 3 to 6 strokes, by cultivating we can increase the number of strokes up to a maximum of 9 strokes, we call this set the Anointing Realm, people who have no talents are in the Mortal Realm, there are other realms besides these for example the Divine Realm, the Semi Colossal Realm, the Colossal Realm, and maybe others, although in our realm the most cultivated are in the initial stages of the Semi Colossal Realm. The population on average stays within the Anointing realm, the most talented reach the divine realm, although there are not many within our realm, they are the best of the best, and hold important positions within the realm.

Perhaps our faces betrayed curiosity and expectation, since my father said – We are both at the top of the Anointing Realm, practically nothing to enter the divine realm. – with a pedantic tone.

Hearing that, my expectation lowered, if the happy fool could come to that, chances are there are many more people who have reached the Divine Realm.

Perhaps noticing my thoughts, my father sighed, and continued where my mother left off – explaining more precisely the Realm of Anointing, it has a total of 10 levels, from 1 stroke to 9 strokes and finally solidification, which is the essential step to go to the Divine Realm. This is because our talent is a single character and the levels within the Divine Kingdom are based on the number of characters, for this we must double the characters for each talent, if we do not have a good base we can lose traces within our talent, and even die .

My father paused for a while, while he thought before continuing – when you reach the 9th stroke we will explain the levels within the Divine Realm, well I think that would be all for today, right? Dear.

Yes, tomorrow we will officially start with your legacy talent management classes, in addition to continuing your studies at the village school, where you will also be taught how to use your natural talents and cultivate them, as well as other necessary things that you will have to know about from now on.

My mother, she stretched lazily, as she got up and went to the kitchen, my father like a faithful dog, went after her as he could swear he saw a tail wagging as he followed her.

Ahhhh - sounded the yawn of my little sister next to me - every time my mom talks with us about important issues, at the end she puts the same face as hers, a laziness for life itself.

She looks at her questioningly, while looking at the same face of my mother along with her laziness in it, I made a face, realizing she got up quickly, and said that she was going to play with her friends.

Stretching my lazy body, I went to my father's study, to look for books about our traditions, which was what I liked the most since I was a child.

When I arrived I looked for my favorite book, one that told the story of the empire and of the different eras, perhaps my desire for history and traditions are what led me to earn my talent for words, while I was lost in thought, I didn't I realized that my father was next to me with a book clutched in his hand and he hit me on the head with this one – here, the book you have you will already know by heart, learn this from now on, it will be part of your classes with me – it was a somewhat thin and wasted book, while I looked at it disdainfully again, I continued – it's about cultivation – my face quickly changed to expectation, I had been forbidden to read books related to cultivation, since I was a child, although I still didn't know the exact reason why not, I guess it will be because as in everything, because it can bring evil.

I stared at the book, and realized that I had never seen it in the library, noticing my doubtful look, he said - it is a book bequeathed by family, mine had one related to the road, which your mother has, and your mother had one related to the word, which is this. There are two volumes each, the one you have is the first volume which is mainly a manual for the Anointing Realm, the second volume is quite destroyed and it was about the Divine Realm. When you get to the 9th stroke, I'll give you that tome to study.

I nodded, while opening the book, the first thing I saw was a character similar to mine that meant word, this one had exactly 10 strokes.

Well try to understand it on your own, tomorrow we start - my father said as he left the study.
