3 Chapter 3: Feast

As they headed home to their clan Elijah's father said.

"I know you weren't happy with the class you got today but just know that I'm proud of you no matter what and hey you're a genius I wonder where you got that from ''.

"I am too". said Grandfather.

"In fact I want to have a feast tonight and celebrate.

Also I would like to talk to you later about your class. It may not be as useless as you think".

(And of course, I clearly thought that) Elijah thought to himself.

Elijah's father is A Zulu Ougun (Warrior)and his grandfather is a Pride Qugun (Warrior).

("I don't even know how I ended up with the Anubis class, these genes are definitely not on my side." Elijah thought.

("Even me physically I wasn't as strong as a typical lion beastmen my age.") It never bothered Elijah though, as a lion you're supposed to be strong but he never thought of it as only a physical thing.

They finally arrived at their clan's territory and were greeted by the rest of their clan. The first one that approached was Elijah's little brother Isaiah but to call him that was an understatement. He's a lot bigger than Elijah with locs that go down to his shoulders.

"So? What class did you get? Isaiah asked with excitement in his eyes.

Elijah could see the rest of he's clansmen in the background waiting to hear as well.

With some regret in his voice Elijah said

"Anubis" and he could see the disappointment on their faces all but his brothers.

"That my brother for you, the wildcard." Isaiah said.

"Elijah is one of the 5 geniuses in his generation and the high priest said he had the most potential of all of them even over the King's heir". Elijah's father said. He added that last part himself and then all of my clansmen cheered.

Elijah saw his mother in the distance crying with excitement for him.

While we're all in the middle of town eating and having a good time Elijah's grandfather took him to the side and said.

"Elijah, did you notice the change in the tablet when the project first came up?" Asked his Grandfather.

"Yes," Elijah said, sounding annoyed. "I thought I got the Void subclass for a second."

"But then I thought you can't have two different subclasses,'' He said jokingly.

"You actually can" Elijah's grandfather said with a serious face.

Elijah started to laugh till he realized his grandfather wasn't.

"Wait, are you serious". he says?

"How is that even possible to wield 2 completely different classes?"

"It's very rare nowadays, at this point it's unheard of but 300 years ago it wasn't common but it was heard of" Elijah's grandfather replied.

"Elijah, he looks him straight in his eyes, the stone tablet does not lie you have great powers within you that could change the nation, possibly all of Pangea itself." When he said that Elijah felt like it was a bit of a stretch.

"I mean I can't even currently turn into a beastmen and the Void class ( Infiltrator) is strong but Anubis I literally haven't heard any of them doing anything amazing." Elijah thought.

"You must never let anyone see you practice your shadow powers , don't even try to tap into it once at the Crescent Moon Academy." Elijah's Grandfather said with a serious face.

"Oh yea this is the first time a lion beastmen will attend as nobility". Elijah thought to himself.

"But why grandfather? Shouldn't I embrace this power?"

"Of course he said but if the Moonlight family sees you using both they without a doubt kill you. Not only are you a genius but you hold 2 different classes there already afraid of your potential as it is. You're a lion beastmen at that."

Elijah never really grasped the full picture of all of it but he was really excited because he wanted to be strong for his clan and protect them.

"I understand grandfather, Elijah says.

"Please do, you are the most valuable member of our clan right now". I'm sorry that I won't be of much help on getting you stronger but I can point you in the right direction when it comes to understanding your abilities". Grandfather said.

"Elder Marcus is an Anubis Mystic and he will help you understand the class and its abilities."

Elijah started to make a face.

"You mean the elder that is always talking to himself?" Elijah replied.

Grandfather says yes while laughing.

"But he is very wise. Elijah don't look down on him".

Elijah and his Grandfather went back to the festival and enjoyed the rest of their night. Early that morning Elijah headed to a little outside of town to meet Elder Marcus.
