1 Entered the dark beast forest

On a rainy day, The sky was dark as if it is night. The thunder and lightning are having a competition on who can scare people more. The rain was over pouring as if it is a fall. The wind made it even worse as it was steadily shifting the rain droplets into a mist and fastly drifting it. It was heavily impossible for the people to walk in the streets and roads. The wind even began to make the structures collapse. The trees were uprooted by its force. Even the one with the master soul won't be able to stand it. Not to mention walking.

But there was a single soul that is dare to walk on the forest road with a bundle-like thing in his hand. His steps are not steady. Not to mention the difficulty added by the wind and rain. He knows he is on his limit. Yet he created an invisible shield around himself to keep him away from getting wet and also to hide his track.

He has been chased by a few people who are dressed up in armor yet barely equipped. He needed to fasten his pace. He doesn't want to fall behind and get caught by them. At least it's his duty and promise to ensure that the baby is safe. He sensed that something was roaming in the forest. He is not quite sure about what it is, a friend or a foe. All he can hope is that it is not a foe. With his condition right now, all that injury and soul damage, he is aware that he won't even be able to take down the newly awakened soul master.

He keeps on moving forward. He can still feel the presence of the people of the imperial hall. He simply can't find a hideout. If it is for himself, he would have long hidden somewhere. But that is not suitable for the child in his hand to grow. He wished that the child get shelter somewhere she won't be recognized. But his soul began to shatter and his soul seed began to disappear. He knows, His end is near. But he want to do this one last thing that his master ordered him. He gathered up the last bit of soul essence left in his soul seed and rushed towards the dark beast forest. He knows it is dangerous for him to enter the dark forest since his presence will wake up the beast there. But he has no other choice left. He has to escape from the people of Imperial Hall. And dark forest is the only place where their third chakral soul master dares not to enter. It will also hide his trace. He can move further from there. And no one will be able to track him after entering the Dark Beast forest as those soul masters can't trace back someone of whom they lost track.

He reached the dark beast forest. He didn't feel the presence of those people. But he can still feel that the thing from earlier was still following him. He now confirmed that it is someone's, soul essence or a soul beast As those are the only thing that can enter the Dark Beast forest without any problem. Though he is worried, He entered the forest with no other thought and without wasting time. For him, the only thing that is in his mind was before seeing his end, He wants to ensure the child to someone who can protect it.

Dark beast forest, Unlike its name, it was not that dark. Moonlight had already lit up the entire place. Though the entire region around the forest is getting drenched by the outpouring of rain, it is still dry. There was a barrier hidden at the border of the forest that separate the forest from the main continent. Legends have that the most dangerous soul beast species and mystical animals that once were out on the mainland harming the humans have been sealed down in this forest by a team of three grand chakral soul masters, called the trinity, five centuries ago.

It is true in one way, The forest is packed with the most dangerous and powerful soul beasts and mystical animals. But the reason for sealing them in such an area was false. It was to mislead the common folk and other tamers from harming them. The trinity sealed them to protect them from being extinct as a result of the hunting of the soul beast for power was going wild among the soul masters since they are the best of the best. They wanted that these rare and powerful beasts are protected from those poachers. The trinity convinced and gathered the beast. They didn't use force as the legend says. They did the work well for a few centuries.

But the dark beast forest came under the control of the Imperial Hall that succeeded Trinity, three centuries ago. It was them that created the folk tale of the dangerous beast being sealed for the wellness and goodness of the people of the Wushana. But the truth is they wanna use this to make the dark beast forest for their use. They used their authority as the controller of the forest to exploit the resources rather than protect them. This spilled hatred between the humans and the beast. The beast which once co-existed with the humans now began to wildly attack its poachers. When things went out of control, the Imperial Hall announced that the Dark Beast forest is a forbidden area in the Wushana. They even built up the barrier.

As soon as he entered the Dark Beast forest, His presence woke up the creatures, from the plants to the mystical animals just as he expected.

They began to walk towards him. But whenever they come near, two red dot light-like structure from behind shows up or a little hand from the bundle he was holding waves in the air.
