Phoenix

In less than two minutes, he arrived. He was welcomed by a tall man with a muscular build. "Greetings, Martial King Alexander. I am General Smith."

Matthias nodded and shook his hand. They proceeded to a secret room.

"I want you to hand over all of the information voluntarily." General Smith demanded. 

"Of course. It is my goal to do so." Matthias nodded and told everything.

"If that's the case, we'll need to add another level of practitioners, the Spirit Level." Smith said solemnly.

Matthias nodded. He then stood up and took his leave.

"Wait." Smith shouted. "Why?" Matthias looked back at him. "We are conferring you the General Rank in the military. It is a Martial King's right." He handed a badge to Matthias and replied.

"Thank you." Matthias nodded and left.

 After that, Matthias started his legend on the world of Barbaros.

After being conferred as General of Enos, he established his army to expand the reaches of the country. He trained five hundred and two people, including James and Fatty, Matthias' other friend.

By guiding them in the Spirit Realm and conferring them the Light of the Sylphine Kingdom, they became powerhouses in their own right, forming the Order of Alexandos.

The Order conquered areas after areas that were once dominated by beasts, expanding the country of Enos.

In the country, Matthias' name as Alexander also possessed a high authority within.

Matthias, with the approval of the government, renamed the Country of Enos into Sylphine Spirit Republic of Enos, directly placing the stance of their country to side with the Sylphine Kingdom.

Institutes and Academies of Beast Taming were established all across the Republic, promoting Beast Taming to go against Darkness.

The Order of Alexandos also ascended often to combat the Dark Xyton Empire.

The Xyton Empire was at a huge disadvantage, being attacked by Beast Tamers and Subjects of Light.

Then, Something happened that balanced the tide. 

The City of Midos under the country of Sunta who also favored the Light on the other side of the world, declared independence and established the The Black Republic of Midos, establishing a state that sides with The Order of Darkness.

With the immense number of gangsters and criminals gathering in Midos, they easily defeated Sunta and established full sovereignty over the lands.

Kaidu, the Minister Representative of Xyton, established a connection from the Spirit Realm and Barbaros, and released the Corrupted beasts of the Spirit Realm, with the goal of assaulting all of the people under the Order of Light.

Xyton also sent a Dark Commanding Knight with a hundred Riders of Darkness to fully dominate the west. 

Tension also surrounded the world with traitors of the Order of Light appearing and assasinating key officials of the Light Republics.

The Kingdom issued bounties for those traitors, ordering the affiliated Beast Tamers to hunt them down.

But with the chaos surrounding Barbaros, the people already have their own problem.

Sensing the urgency, Matthias and the Order of Alexandos summoned a Commanding Officer of the Sylphine Kingdom to protect the land.

The Order of Alexandos directly assaulted the territories of Darkness on Barbaros. A total war commenced between two opposing factions.

The Minister of Xyton, Kaidu, led his army of one thousand Tamers to defeat the Order of Alexandos.

Kaidu's Beast, the Dark Tri-Head Mastiff, fought directly against Matthias' Light Draconic Griffin.

With a Pyrrhic victory, Kaidu's army defeated Matthias', with Matthias ordering the Order's retreat.

Because of this battle, a truce formed between the two parties, with Kaidu recuperating while Matthias doing something unimaginable to the current tamers; Double Taming.

The Beast Tamers once concluded that to tame a beast and manage it to stay loyal to its master, one needs to focus his/her mental energy towards the tamed beast.

Matthias doing something like Double Taming was seen as reckless by the people. But Matthias, being the Alexander that opened the world to something that was thought of as impossible, placed their trust on him reluctantly.

This time, Matthias was targeting a beast of a higher level. Over the years of his stay, he reached the Spirit Emperor Rank inside the Spirit Realm.

Now, with his power, his energy over the beasts of this realm could be said to be high enough.

He targeted the beasts of a clan of fiery birds to tame. It shall be his temporary Secondary Tamed Beast.

Perched on a tree inside a huge forest, the fiery bird cawed. Matthias arrived at the place; The Territory of The Phoenix Clan.

"I request the Patriarch of The Phoenixes to come forth!" He shouted.

Inside the forest, a loud caw sounded. A huge 9 meter Phoenix with a wingspan of 20 meters flew towards him with 10 other phoenixes that are just slightly smaller than the first.

"What brings you here, Tamer?" The huge phoenix asked telepathically.

"I came upon you to request someone to be my tamed beast, Patriarch." Matthias answered.

"Hmm.. Why do you want us specifically?" The Phoenix asked.

"I want to tap upon the secret of the Phoenix Bloodline and strengthen someone of your lineage." Matthias answered.

"Well.." The patriarch went silent. "Because of your politeness and balance in your soul, I shall hand you my younger son" 

A small phoenix went to him, about as large as four of his hands. The Phoenix bowed clumsily and greeted him, "Greetings, Master. Please take care of me."

"I will, young one." Matthias smiled. He faced the Phoenixes and bowed, "Thank you, Patriarch. I bless your Clan prosperity and happiness."

The Phoenix Patriarch nodded slightly and flew back to the forest.

Now, Matthias tamed the Phoenix using the usual technique and trained him.

70 years later, another assault from the Black Republic began with Kaidu and an all new army of 2,000 men and allies numbering to 3,000.

This time, the Order was ready. They recruited 1,500 talented and carefully selected individuals under their wing and trained them discreetly for those two years. They also allied with the other Light Republics, managing to recruit 4,000 tamers.

With Matthias' aid and his new pet's, the war turned to their favor and they defeated the Black Republics with a landslide.

The Black Republic was vanquished and their remnants scattered all across the world.

Matthias felt that he had already done a good job so he created a duplicate soul of his to inhabit the body of Alexander. He then left Barbaros with Typhoon and the Phoenix.
