When I was born it was terrible, I doubt you can imagine what it feels like to be pushed out of someone, but It's like being squeezed through a tube. It's bad. I wouldn't recommend trying it anytime soon. When I was born I didn't cry, I was stoic because I felt that there was no need to cry, to me it was pointless.
"Why isn't he crying?" I assumed this was my mother
"This is beyond my knowledge young miss, in the past, every child that I have helped with birth has cried, maybe he is a genius and doesn't feel the need to cry." Said the Midwife
"Let's go with that explanation, cause I like it." And this was apparently my dad
About a week later my dad threw a party in celebration of my birth. It was massive, It felt like thousands of giants we having fun around me. Even though I could not understand what they were saying. During my party, I was given gifts, thousands upon thousands of rings. I didn't know what these rings were but I liked how they looked. They were all different color bands with dark purple colored stones. These stones were in very different sizes ranging from the size of my thumb to an adult thumb. The stones looked like they were absorbing the air around then, I also noticed some of the color from the stone traveling towards me. So I ran, for the first time ever. A week after my birth a ran. Well, I got about five feet then fell but did I run. My mom got super scared when I got up an ran, and so she started speaking to me. I couldn't understand it though. To me, it just sounded like jibberish.
After the running incident my mom and dad started to keep an eye on me, wherever I went they would always be with me, and slowly I understood what they were saying. After some time I found out that my name was Gold and my last name was Dragon.
About a year later, I spoke my first word, "Gold." My dad who was with me at the time was astounded. Most babies start to speak around to talk at about two years old, but not me. I started a year early and I was proud of it. After my first word, I was fluent within a month of my first word and I started to wander around the palace of the Dragon Clan. It turns out that I am the son of the head of the Dragon Clan and the Daughter of the head of the Fox clan. The Dragon Clan was one of the highest powers on the continent with the Phoenix, Tiger, Turtle, Wolf, and Fox clans. The Dragon Clan specialized in cultivation, cultivation was the round of supreme physicality in the world each member of the clan then got a technic based on their innate affinity. The Phoenix Clan had an innate affinity for the Ice branch of magic. The Tiger Clan was Wind. Turtle Clan was Earth. Wolf Clan was Blood. And the Fox Clan was Fire. All the Clans had equal power on the surface but because of the diversification of affinities in the Dragon clan, they were slightly more powerful. Cultivation was also considerably more difficult to do then magic, so the Dragon clan also had some mages in the clan but most were cultivators.
My dad's name was Ares and my Moms was Adena. Both of them were appeantly super powerful. My dad was born with an affinity to the metal element and so he is extremely adept at anything metal related and so he became the most powerful weapons master in the entire clan. My mom has one of the highest affinities towards fire ever in the fox clan. She has a level 9 affinity which means that she became one of the most powerful fire mages ever.
On your fifth birthday everyone goes though the awakening. The awakening is where your affinities are awakened and you can start cultivation of absorbing mana into your soul.
Even since I learned about cultivation and magic I have been obsessed with it. I was fascinated with the ability to control anything in the world if you had the knowledge and affinity. And so I learned and practiced. I first learned everything I could about all the elements in our clans massive library. I became acquainted with the librarian elder. On the forth birthday my dad gave me the choice of weapons.
"Son by now you are strong enough to begin to practice combat with weapons. So you need to make the biggest choice of your life. Which weapon will you choose and which will chose you."
"Dad what do you mean by the weapon choosing you?"
"Each type of weapon has an innate personality. The weapons payed before you each are enchanted to vibrate when the come in contact with an owner who's personality that matches with the personality of the weapon."
After I herd this I walked up to the weapons. They ranged from a basic staff to a spear. Each weapon was different and unique in its aura. As I walked up to the weapons some of them felt wrong to be so I pointed them out to my dad and he removed them from the list of weapons. After a repeated this proses several times I ended up with dual swords a spear and what looked like a set of five identical swords all linked together.
"Son these three weapons are diverse in their nature. The dual swords are drawn to passive and protective people. They are superb at the diversion as attached and can be transformed into killed weapons. The spear represents a kingly personality they are generally used by innate leaders or kings. The five swords represent chaos. They are the most difficult weapon to use but also one of the most powerful. They can be used in both ranged and close combat but they take either Qi or mana to correctly use all five of the swords. Think carefully son about which weapon you would like to use."
"Dad I choose the five swords"
