Monarch of Darkness

Northern mountains were standing there like gigantic ancient monuments. Ancestoral land of Sylvia clan is located there in a beautiful valley named White Orchid valley. White Orchid flowers bloomed there all year around. A small river flowed, like a dancing serpent across the valley.

A little boy was chasing a horned dog on the river bank. He was Evan who became 5years old recently. Evan shouted, "Stop whitey,You can't go away. You must say sorry to sister Sophie."

This Whitey is a horned dog of magical beast guards of Sylvia clan. All magical beasts generally fierce and untamable in nature but there were always some exception.

Take the horned dog for example, If any cultivator managed to tame a puppy of a horned dog magical beast, then that puppy would remain loyal to him/her. Many also took magical beasts as mounts in thousand swords kingdom.

Seeing Evan closed to it, a little bit panick could be seen in the eyes of whitey. It quickly dug a hole in ground using its' horn and quickly escaped.

Whitey was a horned dog and horned dogs were dogs with a strong affinity to earth element.

Evan became irritated and shouted, "Whitey stop escaping, otherwise I will not forgive you. And stop showing up your magical ability to me. I will also get magical ability after completing my awakening ceremony."

Awakening ceremony was the most important process for every human child who aspired to become a heavenly warrior.

In awakening ceremony a child's magic affinity towards elements was tested. Some may got affinity for earth or some may got affinity for fire.In worst case you may got affinity for weakest element water.

And in some very rare cases you could even get affinity for thunder. Among heavenly elements thunder was the strongest and had most versatile long range attacks.

"Evan, don't run around chasing Whitey.Aunt Olivia is calling you", A little girl's sweet voice came from behind.

She was Sophie Sylvia, daughter of Lucas Sylvia.Lucas Sylvia was the chief of Sylvia clan. Sophie was a beautiful slender girl with a pony tail behind her head. She was seven years old in current year and two year older than Evan. Her little head was full of silver hair and it suited her well.

"But sister Sophie, Whitey took food from you and ran away. Most importantly,he was getting away from me for two days now. I am getting pissed",Evan replied with a honest looking face.

Evan was a clever little boy and very naughty in nature. He loved to run around chasing the guard dogs.

He was also a friend to many wild animals near the valley. Sometime his frienship created problems for Sylvia clan.

Wild fierce animals were hunted for food supply. Everyday fierce warriors from Sylvia clan ventured into nearby Orchid forest and searched for wild fierce animals.

Sometime magical beasts also descended from mountain in herds and attacked nearby population. Without these attacks, life in White orchid valley could have remained peaceful.

Magical beasts were rare in orchid forest. Sometimes strong fighters from Sylvia clan went deep in orchid forest and hunt magical beasts.

Blood of magical beasts could be used for strengthening the body of young child of Sylvia clan. But these trips were very dangerous as many time warriors of Sylvia clan got severely injured in the process. Sometime one or two succumbed to their injuries.contemporary romance

One day Evan became friend with such a magical beast and stopped everyone from killing it. It was a firespitting ox .Now it became the mount of Evan!! Some of Sylvia clan members protested as it was the result of their blood and sweat but who could really resist Evan,the young prince.

"You must stop, otherwise I will tell Aunt Brianna that you are again causing trouble", listnining the name of Aunt Brianna, Evan  quickly became an obedient child and went home.

Aunt Brianna was Brianna Jackson, who was the first wife of the king of Thousand sword kingdom, and a fierce warrior herself.

After birth of Evan, she quickly promoted herself as teacher of Evan.

Most of the time she was busy in cultivation and hunting. In the free time she taught Evan to make him a brave heavenly warrior.

Evan went home with Sophie and went to the room while controlling his footsteps.

In a neatly arranged room a beautiful woman could be seen. Her beauty was ethereal and gave others a feeling of calm and peacefulness. She sat there like a fairy free of mortal worries.

Looking at the sneaking Evan, Olivia smiled sweetly. He was the only jewel in her eyes. Her source of joy in her lonely life.

Olivia smiled sweetly at Evan and asked in a doting manner, "Child,why are you sneaking around in your own home. Are you again making friends with those wild animals?."

Evan felt Happy listening to his mom. He always felt good in the company of his doting mother.

"Mother, is teacher around?Is someone complained about me to her? I have done nothing today. I was only chasing Whitey near river", Evan rightfully explained himself to her. Olivia smiled at the little fool and said,"Don't call your aunt Brianna as teacher, you most call her aunt and listen to her every words. Do you understand?"

Evan remembered a incident which happened in past few days and his face became sour. Not long ago his aunt Brianna brought some odd looking, foul smelling herbs from Northern mountains and after mixing them with blood of some stupid animals in a big metal pot, she put down him inside it.

It was a horrible experience for him. His whole body became stiff and was burning inside. He could not play for three days after it!

He almost bored to death in bed.

Although he got some benifits. His punch after bathing in pot became strong and he became strong enough to hurt Whitey!

But it was still a horrible experience to him. Even his own beloved mother did not stop teacher Brianna. So, little Evan became frightened whenever he listened the name of his aunt Brianna.
