《Celestial Black Star》 Prologue:- The vast empty space. In all its majesty, the space has never failed to mesmerize, those who gaze upon it. The bright stars, the chilling atmosphere, the beauty of a meteor. Everything about the space is magnificently attracting. Through this empty, cold universe, a black blur was speeding through the remains of a fallen planet. The speed of the black blur, was beyond anything this universe has ever seen. It left special distortions in its trail. A gigantic planet, resting on one of the far ends of the mighty universe. The planet had many visible cracks on its surface. Lava was seeping out of the ground, the sky was filled with black smoke. Not a single lifeform was visible anywhere in sight. The gigantic, once a flourishing planet was taking its final breath. Truly a sad sight. The planet had been home a various lifeforms, most of which were peaceful. Deep within the insides of this planet, a man with red skin was sitting in a cross legged position. He was staring at the blackened sky, with an emotionless face. He mumble some words, in a foreign language, unhappy at the things that were happening around him. ¡°Why have thou forsaken us?¡± Cried out the red skinned man in rage. ¡°Why have thou denied us our lives?¡± The man continued to rage out at the empty, lonely sky. ¡°Why, just have we done, that we deserve such a punishment?¡± ¡°How long do you plan to ignore me?¡± Tears fell from the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Answer me.¡± His eyes red with rage and sorrow. ¡°Answer me ZARAKEIL.¡± Just as the red skinned man finished shouting, the blackened sky rumbled. More lava started to spew out from the ground, and the sky started to shake violently. Black smoke descended, from the sky. The black smoke smashed down from the skies violently. The black smoke shot out in every direction, eventually forming a humanoid figure from the remains. The humanoid being had two eye slots and a mouth, and no other facial features. The figure stood at almost 2 meters, with a strong build. The figure was completely black, with a solid body. White lights came out from its eyes slots. ¡°Regidaze¡­¡­..¡± The black figure spoke in an ancient voice, confused at what to say to the man in front of it. ¡°Lord Zarakeil, please you have to save this planet.¡± Begged the red skinned man, named Regidaze. ¡°Regidaze, it is not that I don¡¯t want to save this planet. It is just that¡­¡­¡­. I cannot.¡± Said the being shaking its head in disappointment. ¡°That¡­..that¡­.can¡¯t..be..true.¡± Said the man named Regidaze falling to his knees, crying. ¡°You¡¯re the¡­.the almighty ruler.¡± The black being once again spoke. ¡±The being that caused this is far far stronger than me. I can¡¯t even hold a candle to it.¡± ¡°Lena¡­..forgive me I wasn¡¯t able to keep the promise I made to you. Forgive me. I¡¯ll join you soon enough.¡± Said Regidaze, a small smile crept to his face. ¡°Regidaze, if you wish I can take you away. I allowed to take but one soul only.¡± Said the being named Zarakeil. The red skinned man, named Regidaze rushed back into the cave, and returned with a small girl. This girl unlike the red skinned man, didn¡¯t have red skinned, rather she has flawless snow white skin, and crimson red hair. She was about 5 or 6 years old. ¡°Lord Zarakeil, please take my daughter ¡®Regina¡¯ with you, in my place.¡± Said the man named Regidaze, kissing his daughter on her snowy red cheeks.

He¡¯ll take good care of you.¡± Regidaze, looked into his daughter¡¯s deep red crimson eyes. ¡°..but I wanna stay with daddy.¡± Said the girl, teary eyed. ¡°hahah, sweetie daddy will always be with you.¡± Said Regidaze, his index finger touching her heart. The little girl, Regina instantly cupped both her hand over her heart. Regidaze happy, by the gesture slowly moved away from her. ¡°Remember sweetie, mommy and daddy will always love you, no matter what.¡± Said Regidaze, as he vanished into the darkness of the dying planet. ¡°..Daddy..¡± Shouted the little girl, trying to break free of Zarakeil¡¯s restraint. But just what sort of an existence was Zrakeil, that a little girl would be able to escape his grip. She cried and cried. Eventually she cried herself to sleep. ¡°Regidaze, I swear upon the creation of this universe that for as long as I live no harm shall befall your daughter. I swear upon the heaven¡¯s that morn for the loss of this planet, that I will make her strong.¡± Zarakeil¡¯s ancient voice thundered throughout the dying planet, and the nearby planets. Zarakeil slowly lifted her petite body, gently and flew off into the distance. *********************************************** In one corner of the dying planet, Regidaze sat quietly awaiting the impending doom. He had already come to terms with the fact that he is going to die. He didn¡¯t fear death, as he knew that he would join his beloved. The only regrets of his life was that he will be unable to see his daughter. He closed his eyes, to recall the precious memories that he cherished. That¡¯s all that he has left of his daughter and wife. He recalled how he, met his wife for the very first time. She hated him at first, but slowly he managed to turn that hate into dislike. He would often try to woo her. After trying for countless years he finally managed to become her beloved. Then they got married, and eventually had a child. Regidaze was a man who loved his daughter and wife very much. The death of his wife was a shocking blow to him. Never in a million years did he expect that such a catastrophe would befall his family and planet. ¡°If only I hadn¡¯t done that¡­¡­¡­¡± Cried Regidaze regretting something he had done. Just as Regidaze was recall the precious moments of his life, a strong force shook the dying planet to its very core. The extremely strong force, forcefully snapped him back to reality. He looked up at the dark skies, to see what had caused such a strong force. In the distance he could see a black blur, moving at extremely high speeds. ¡°Red Eye¡± Regidaze¡¯s forehead spilt revealing a third eye. Right now he could clearly see the black figure that was making its way through the empty vast space. It was a¡­¡­coffin! A lacquer black, chained up coffin. ¡°Just what in the world¡­¡­?¡± Regidaze was at a loss for words, staring at the sight in front of his eyes. The black coffin, passed by Regidaze¡¯s dying planet, and shot off into the distance. Regidaze, just realized what the black coffin resembled, and gasped at shock. The planet exploded! Chapter One The explosion of planet, completely shattered the solar system, which the planet was orbit. The force of the planet was so great that, the invincible coffin, that was unaffected by anything, was pushed to the side. Thus completely changing its trajectory. The black coffin was headed straight for a planet, light years away from the planet that exploded. As the black coffin entered the surface of the planet, it caught on fire. It was like a showering meteor. But all of a sudden the orange flame, burned black and more intensely. The black coffin, crashed into a volcano that was oozing out black lava. The crash caused a gigantic explosion, partial destroying the volcano in the process. This explosion, was humongous. A beast slumbering beneath the volcano, awoke in all its rage. It was a bird, with dark black feathers coverings its entire body. Alongside the black feathers, it occasionally had golden feathers, which gave it a regal feel. The bird had red eyes, and a single golden black feather, on its forehead. With a single flap of its wings, the partial destroyed volcano was completely turned to dust. Surprising the black coffin, simply remained where it had crashed, with moving an inch. The black bird, stared at the coffin, sharply. After a while it used its tough claws to rip it open. But it was of no use as the chains binding the coffin was simply too strong. The bird willed, and its entire bored blasted in to black flames. The Skies trembled, the Earth shook, and air distorted. The bird once again flap its wings, but this time releasing the black flames. The entire vicinity caught on fire, and burned to nothingness. Nothing was left, everything was destroyed if front of the almighty black flame. Once again the coffin didn¡¯t move an inch, and remained where it had crashed. The ground melted, and the air shattered, but the rage of the black bird was sky high. ¡°Sea of Flames.¡± The black bird spoke in an arrogant tone. With a single flap it took to the skies. The bird stared at the black coffin with disdain, and descended, leave a trail of black flames in its path, as it charged towards the black coffin. The air once again distorted, causing minor special tremors and major tornados in the surrounding areas. The descent of the bird, burned down the very continent that it inhabited. The very continent had burned down to nothingness. The sea was littered with black rocks, and ashes. The black bird lifted its head, in pride satisfied with the result. The smoke slowly disappeared, revealing a small piece of land. And on that land was a lacquer black coffin. The moment the black bird saw this, its face twisted with rage, and it charged towards the black coffin like a mad beast. But just before the bird collided into the coffin, a snap was heard. The chain binding the coffin had shattered. Seeing this the rage of the bird quenched. It slowly landed next to coffin, and snapped it open with its claws. ¡°Wwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh¡± A loud cry was heard once the bird opened the coffin. Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Along with the cry, an insane amount of magical energy was released. ¡°Such strong ¡®Time Magic¡¯.¡± It was the cry of a baby. The black coffin, had a red interior, with soft cushions. Within the coffin was a baby, barely 6 months old. The baby had black hair, with a single strip of white hair in the front. The baby was simply wrapped in a small red towel, and nothing else. ¡°An infant?¡± The bird spoke. A sympathetic looked flashed in the bird¡¯s eyes, and disappeared the next second. The black bird looked at the baby, with an expressionless face. Black flames flickered in and out of existence, from its wings. It was contemplating as to whether to kill the baby, or abandon it. The black bird emitted a black glow, turning the surrounding world into pitch black darkness. The darkness slowly lifted. In the place of gigantic black bird, was a woman in her early 30¡¯s. She adorned a black tight robe, with gold trimmings and embroidery. On her black robe, there was a golden embroidery of a bird. She had long lustrous black hair that reached till her knees. Within her endless black hair, occasional strips of golden hair, was visible. She was absolutely beautiful. Emitting a certain beauty, and surrounding herself in a prideful air, she slowly walked towards the child. Her face which still remained expressionless, flickered for a split second before it returned back to normal. She raised her hand, and pointed her index finger towards the baby. On the tip of finger, black flames danced about. But for some reason, she didn¡¯t feel an animosity towards the baby. Normally she hated all forms of lifeform. But in this case something was off. The black flame from her finger disappeared. All of a sudden, the baby¡¯s tiny hands reached for the woman¡¯s slender finger. Both of the baby¡¯s hands clasped onto the finger. Seeing this the woman, was startled, she even considered burning the baby right then and there. After seeing that baby, merely wanted play, she let of a small chuckle. She who has never laughed for a long, long time had let out a small chuckle. The woman bend down towards the baby, and picked it up. She slowly unwrapped the towel covering the baby. ¡°Ohh, that¡¯s definitely a boy.¡± She remarked. From the towel a jade envelope fell. The woman picked up the jade letter, and unsealed it. Inside it there were two letters. The woman randomly picked on up and opened it, to read its content. ¡°Ell, I¡¯m sorry. Please forgive me and Ell, take care of him. He is-¡° The letter barely had one line, and to it wasn¡¯t completed. ¡°Ell, where have I heard that name? It sounds like a female¡¯s name.¡± The woman tried to remember where she had heard the name ¡®Ell¡¯. Just as the woman finished reading the letter, a hidden compartment of the coffin opened, revealing a slender black longsword. The woman picked up the sword, and swung it around. It didn¡¯t have anything special about it. The woman held the baby in her right hand and the sword in her left hand. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll keep it until its owner returns.¡± Snorted the woman. It was unknown whether she spoke about the baby or the sword. She stored the coffin and the black sword in her spatial ring. Slowly the woman bought the baby towards her chest, and caressed it. Black wings erupted from her back, and she slowly floated up. A faint black light surrounded her and the baby. She instantly vanished into thin air, with the baby. Chapter Two 4 years later. ¡°Mother, mother.¡± A cute child, with a small stature was running up a small hill. The child had a head full of black, except for a single strip of white hair. The child¡¯s right eye were deep purple, with a speck of black light within the purple pupils, for iris. While his left eye, was a bright green, with a speck of deep black light for iris. His eyes were truly astonishing. One resembled the limitless empty space, while the other an endless forest of mystery. The child was dressed in a black garb. On his back was a big wooden net. On the top of the hill was an extremely beautiful woman, with long lustrous deep black hair, with golden strips here and there. He eyes were a beautiful golden that mesmerized anyone who saw them. Although her looks were gentle and sophisticated, the aura she exuded was that of an extremely prideful being. She was dressed in a black Victorian dress, with red rose oh her shoulder. In her right hand she held a long blackish jade spear, with on tip having a small blue ribbon tied to it. ¡°Nathanial, were where you?¡± Questioned the woman. ¡°Mom, I¡¯d gone to catch butterflies.¡± Said the child, holding up a single butterfly. ¡°Ah,¡± Sighed the woman. ¡°What am I going to do with you? I told to go train, not to run around the garden catching butterflies.¡± ¡°Why? Mom¡¯s strong, so you¡¯ll protect me right?¡± Laughed the child innocently. ¡°Of course, Mommy will always protect her little Nate. But what will you do if mommy needs to be protected? What will you do if someone wants to hurt Mommy?¡± ¡°That¡­¡­.of course I¡¯ll protect Mommy¡¯¡¯ Replied the child without any hesitation. ¡°And how exactly are you going to do that?¡± Asked the woman, bringing the child to her lap and ruffling through his black hair. ¡°That¡­¡­.I don¡¯t know.¡± Replied the child, in a sad tone. Tears almost fell from his eyes. ¡°To protect someone, one needs power. And to get power one needs to train.¡± Answered the woman, wiping away the child¡¯s tears. ¡°Mommy won¡¯t ask little Nate to protect her, but if little Nate ever meets someone who little Nate wants to protect what will you do?¡± ¡°For as long as Mommy lives, no one will ever harm little Nate. But eventually little Nate, you¡¯ll have to go outside this forest. People are cold and cruel. If you want to protect then you have to be strong. There was a time when Mommy wasn¡¯t strong enough. At that time someone took something that meant a great deal to Mommy. If you don¡¯t have strength, people will walk all over you. Mommy doesn¡¯t want little Nate to go through what Mommy went though. That¡¯s why little Nate you have to become strong.¡± Said the woman in a sad tone, recalling a sorrowful moment from her past. ¡°Who took Mommy¡¯s toy, I¡¯ll go ask him to give it back.¡± Replied Nate to cheer up his mom. ¡°Hahah, really. The fact the little Nate is willing to do that is already enough for Mommy. Also what that person took from Mommy is not something that can be returned.¡± Replied the woman, as she continued ruffling through Nate¡¯s hair. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°Mommy will make Little Nate very strong, so that no one will disrespect little Nate.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t want to leave you Mommy. Please don¡¯t leave me alone. I like it best when I¡¯m with mommy, so please don¡¯t leave.¡± Nathanial started crying and begging his mother, not to leave. ¡°You silly boy, Mommy won¡¯t go anywhere. With such a cry baby for a son, how can Mommy even think about leaving you alone?¡± Laughed the woman. But deep with her laugh was deep sorrowful mourn, that was hidden. ¡°Really.¡± Asked the boy, his eyes lighting up. ¡°Of course.¡± Replied the woman, her facing revealing a truly gentle smile. ¡°Mommy I¡¯m hungry, I want ¡®Horned Rabbit¡¯ stew.¡± Said Nate, his stomach grumbling. ¡°Hahaha, little glutton. Mommy will make it for you.¡± Replied the woman. The woman tightly held on to the child¡¯s hand, as they walked through the dense green forest, towards a big mansion, made completely of ¡®Green Wood¡¯. ¡®Green wood is a type of wood that is even stronger and denser than pure iron. It is normally found within the stomachs of ¡®Forest Giants¡¯. There were two huge ¡®Stone Golems¡¯ at the main gate of the mansion. Just as they saw the woman with child walking towards the mansion, they immediately opened the gates to welcome them. ¡°Welcome back Mistress BlackHeart and Young Master Nate.¡± Replied the ¡®Stone Golems¡¯ in unison. ¡°Hello big Uncle Ben and big Uncle Ken.¡± Said Nate smiling, as he walked by them. The courtyard of the Greenwood Mansion was filled with different kinds of trees and plants. Gardening is Nate¡¯s favorite hobby. At the door of the mansion, stood a man nearly 2 meters tall. He wore a butler suit, with a tail coat and bow tie. The man was in his mid 40¡¯s. ¡°Madam¡± The man looked at woman, and gave a slight bow. ¡°Young Master you¡¯re looking as energetic as always.¡± ¡°Claus, come play with.¡± Shouted Nate, running towards the man. ¡°Young Master, I really wish I could, but I have to run an important errand for the Madam.¡± Said Claus, with a sorry expression. ¡°Ok.¡± Nate nodded his head with disappointment. ¡°But we can play some other time. Ok how about this, once I comeback I¡¯ll take you on a ride, on the ¡®Starlight Pegasus¡¯. How about that?¡± ¡°Really. You¡¯ll really take me to ride Pom-Pom?¡± Asked Nate, his light lighting up like fireworks. ¡°Of course.¡± Replied Claus, taking off. ¡°Nate, go take bath. By then your stew will be done.¡± Said the woman. Nate nodded, and went towards the bath area. The woman, walked towards he study. Just before she opened the door, she covered herself in a black energy, and released untold killing intent. Chapter Three She opened the door, and walked in. On her seat was another woman, who greatly resembled her. The other woman had long lustrous white hair. She had beautiful blue eyes, and a gentle smile, that could cause nations to war over her. He adorned a frilly white Victorian dress, which seemed almost like a wedding dress. ¡°Anastasia BlackHeart.¡± Spoke the other. ¡°Oh my how the times have changed. Once the leader of the 10 great wings, now nothing more than a common human.¡± The woman¡¯s voice held contempt and mockery that completely contradicted her gentle looks. ¡°Why have you come her Katherine?¡± Asked Anastasia, with an expressionless face. ¡°Hahaha, do you think that the current you is qualified to called me by first name so casually? It¡¯s Ms. WhiteBurn.¡± Retorted the woman, named Katherine. ¡°Oh really. I highly doubt that a whore like you, is capable of surpassing me in any aspect what so ever.¡± Replied Anastasia, her expressionless remaining cold as ever. ¡°You bitch. I¡¯ll make you eat those words.¡± Katherine¡¯s face turned red with rage. A white flame burned on her beautiful finger tips. ¡°I¡¯ll show you the power of the WhiteBurn family, the family of the holy flames.¡± Katherine, pointed her hand towards Anastasia, and a wild white flame shot towards her. The air around the flame started to distort, the mansion slightly shook, but Anastasia remained expressionless. She showed no hint of fear or panic in front of such great power. She simply held out her hand waiting for the white flame to arrive. As the white flame arrived she simply took hold of the flames with her bare hands. ¡°Are you crazy? Do you want your hands to burn of that much? Then please be my guest.¡± Laughed Katherine. She believed that her flame was definitely more superior to that of an exile. But the result that followed was one that she did not predict. Anastasia simply crushed the flame, without breaking a sweat. ¡°Is that all?¡± She had, with her expressionless face. All this while Katherine knew that Anastasia was strong, but she never felt any fear towards her. But after she destroyed her flame, with a face devoid of an expression, the seeds of fear had been planted. ¡°You¡­¡± Katherine wanted to say something, but she was so angry that she didn¡¯t even bother to think of things to call her. ¡°Katherine if you¡¯ve come to fool around, I suggest you go to a local pub. There¡¯s a good one, south of here.¡± Anastasia passed her, and moved towards her seat. ¡°Hpmh, like I¡¯d come her to fool around.¡± Katherine took out a parchment, and tossed it towards Anastasia. Anastasia¡¯s eyes slowly moved around the parchment. ¡°This is¡­¡­.¡± Her face devoid of emotions started to show rage. Killing intent so strong, that it was almost tangible filled the room. Her body unconsciously started releasing a small black flame. ¡°How¡­¡­just how could Anabelle, let her become one of the 10 great wings?¡± Shouted Anastasia. ¡°Why is she free? She should be imprisoned in ¡®Mount EverDoom¡¯.¡± If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°Hmph, we needed someone to fill the 10th seat of the 10 great wings. Also she broke out form ¡®Mount EverDoom¡¯ last year. According to the rules laid down by the 10 great wings, ¡®If one successful manages to break out of ¡®Mount EverDoom¡¯, he/she shall have their sentence cleared.¡± Replied Katherine. ¡°I¡¯ll kill her.¡± Anastasia spoke in a cold tone. ¡°I won¡¯t stop you, but if you do so you¡¯re acting against the whole 10 great wings. Then I¡¯ll be forced to act.¡± Replied Katherine calmly. ¡°After what she did to me. How can you let her become one of the 10 great wings?¡± The killing intent released by Anastasia was suffocating. ¡°Although I hate, I hate her more. I¡¯m the biggest fan of, but what she did to you was an unforgivable act. Although me and Cynthia were against it, the over 7 voted for her.¡± Katherine¡¯s voice no longer held any hate or anger towards Anastasia. ¡°I just came her to warn you. She is most likely to come for you, and this time using the forces of the 10 great wings. It is not something that you can hold out against. I suggest that you immediately leave.¡± Spoke Katherine. Just then the door to the study was opened, and a small boy walked in. ¡°Mommy I finished my bath.¡± Spoke the boy smiling at his mother. ¡°Little Nate¡­.¡± Anastasia¡¯s killing intent, simply washed away like sand on a beach the moment her eyes fell on little Nate. Katherine stared at the little boy in front of her. ¡°My my, what a cute boy. What¡¯s your name dear?¡± Asked Katherine in a gentle voice. ¡°My name is Nathanial BlackHeart. Miss are you my mother¡¯s friend?¡± Asked Nate innocently. ¡°Hhahaha, I¡¯m your mother¡¯s best friend.¡± Replied Katherine revealing a gentle smile. ¡°Little Nate, go out and play. Mommy will be there in a second.¡± Said Anastasia Nate nodded, and left the study. ¡°Woah, you got pregnant again? When did this happen? Who is the father? Tell me everything.¡± Said Katherine, astonished. ¡°Hmph I don¡¯t have to explain a thing to you.¡± Replied Anastasia. ¡°But still Katherine thank you.¡± ¡°Now that you have a child, it¡¯s even more important that to listen to my advice and leave this place as soon as possible.¡± Spoke Katherine. ¡°Julie will not stop until your blood is spilled.¡± ¡°Never mention her name in front.¡± Anastasia raged out. ¡°Anyways I have to leave now. Carefully think about what I said.¡± Beautiful wings erupted from Katherine¡¯s back, as she slowly walked out of the window. Chapter Four Anastasia was sitting on top of in a meditative position, on top of a small hill. Her long black hair fluttered in wind. On her side was a crimson black spear. A boy ran up toward her. ¡°Mommy you called for me?¡± He asked, smiling. ¡°Oh, you came little Nate. I thought you¡¯d be too busy catching butterflies, and chasing ponies.¡± Laughed Anastasia. ¡°Well, I already caught, 14 butterflies today, but the ponies are too fast for. Anyways why did you call me, Mommy?¡± He asked pulling his, falling trousers up. ¡°Starting today onwards you¡¯ll train with Mommy. I know you hate training because it is related to fighting, but you have to become strong. At least do it for Mommy.¡± Asked Anastasia pleadingly. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll do it. If it¡¯s for Mommy I¡¯ll do it.¡± Nate replied smiling. ¡°Okay to start thing off, show me the right position to start the training?¡± Asked Anastasia. Nate, immediately moved next to his mother, and sat down in a cross legged position. ¡°This is the right position to sit in.¡± He replied confidently. ¡°Hahah, well done.¡± Complimented Anastasia ¡°Now tell me about the various ¡®Stages¡¯?¡± Asked Anastasia. ¡°Well, first stage is ¡®Energy Expansion¡¯. You absorb the energy from the nature, and liquidate it, forming a miniature pool of energy in your body. You have to keep training to increase the pool until it becomes an ocean. Once the energy pool has been expanded to an ocean, we can move forwards towards stage two which is ¡®Pillar Formation¡¯. In this stage we take the ocean of energy that we created in our body, and slowly mold into the form of a pillar. After that we have to focus on making the pillar denser and denser.¡± ¡°Well done. You didn¡¯t miss out a single point.¡± Said Anastasia. Hearing compliments after compliments form his mother, Nate¡¯s face was one that was full of smiles. ¡°Tell me about the various stages of ¡®Energy Expansion¡¯?¡± Asked Anastasia. ¡°The ¡®Energy Expansion¡¯ follows the tranquility law of water. First we liquidate the energy we absorb from the surroundings and form an ¡®Energy Pool¡¯, then we expand it into an ¡®Energy Stream¡¯, after that we expand it into an ¡®Energy River¡¯, then into an ¡®Energy Lake¡¯, then an ¡®Energy Sea¡¯, and finally we expand it into an ¡®Energy Ocean¡¯ which is the peak of ¡®Energy Expansion¡¯.¡± Replied Nate, confidently. Although he hated training and fighting, he had listened to Claus. Clause would little Nate about the various adventure he had, and thus had to explain the various stages of power. ¡°You truly did your studying.¡± Laughed Anastasia. ¡°Also tell me about the various stages of ¡®Pillar Formation¡¯?¡± ¡°First of all we have to slowly solidify the liquid energy we have. For that we need calmly guide the ¡®Energy Ocean¡¯, and slowly mold it into a pillar. The first form is ¡®Pure Pillar¡¯, which is basically the energy that has been turned into the basic pillar.¡± Nate continued. ¡°Then we enhance the ¡®Pure Pillar¡¯, with our spirit. Thus forming a ¡®Spirit Pillar¡¯. The energy in the ¡®Spirit Pillar¡¯ is much more pure and denser, thus leading to greater powers. Then we enhance the ¡®Spirit Pillar¡¯, by giving it the hardness of a gem. Thus forming a ¡®Gem Pillar¡¯. Then we enhance the ¡®Gem Pillar¡¯ by embedding the powers of the almighty sky in it. Thus forming a ¡®High Pillar¡¯.¡± Nate was very excited as he talked about this. ¡°After that we add the ruling aura of a ¡®Monarch¡¯ into the ¡®High Pillar¡¯. Thus forming an ¡®Emperor Pillar¡¯. Because of this very reason those that have an ¡®Emperor Pillar¡¯ are referred to as ¡®Monarchs¡¯. Finally we enhance the ¡®Emperor Pillar¡¯ one finally time, giving it the ferocity and authority of an ¡®Overlord¡¯. Thus forming the ¡®Tyrant Pillar¡¯. For this very reason those that have managed to form a ¡®Tyrant Pillar¡¯ are known as ¡®Overlords¡¯.¡± Nate finished. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.It should be noted that a person without any talent, would take a century to form their ¡®Energy Sea¡¯. A person with decent talent would be able to same within half a century. A person who is truly gifted and talented is capable of forming his/her ¡®Energy Sea¡¯ by the age of 25 to 35. ¡®Pillar Formation¡¯ is a stage that is outside the capability of the majority. Even the minority that actually manage to break into ¡®Pillar Formation¡¯ stage get stuck on ¡®Pure Pillar¡¯. Those who have formed a ¡®High Pillar¡¯ stand at the very pinnacle of this world. They fear very little. Anastasia simply smiled at him. ¡°Mother what stage are you at?¡± Asked Nate. ¡°Me? I¡¯m currently forming my first ¡®Emperor Pillar¡¯ foe the attribute of ¡®Darkness¡¯.¡± She replied. ¡°What do you mean by first ¡®Emperor Pillar? Does it mean that we can have more than one ¡®Emperor Pillar¡¯?¡± ¡°Well of course, a person can have unlimited number of ¡®Energy Pools¡¯ in his or her body. The is no way that a person will be able to draw out ¡®Fire¡¯ energy and ¡®Water¡¯ energy from the same ¡®Energy Pool¡¯.¡± ¡°It depends on the number of attributes in a mage or warrior can utilize. I myself train in four attributes. For three of my attributes I¡¯ve already formed ¡®High Pillars¡¯, only one of my attributes is still stuck in ¡®Spirit Pillar¡¯.¡± Spoke Anastasia proudly. Having 3 ¡®High Pillars¡¯ by itself demonstrates just what sort of a monster Anastasia is. To top things of she if a ¡®Divine Variant Beast¡¯ known as ¡®Black Solar Phoenix¡¯. This is where she got her signature ¡®Black Flame¡¯. It was her innate skill. ¡°Tell me about the attributes of a person?¡± Asked Anastasia. Nate looked confused a moment, before he finally answered. ¡°There is ¡®Fire¡¯, ¡®Water¡¯, ¡®Earth¡¯, ¡®Air¡¯, ¡®Thunder¡¯, ¡®Light¡¯ and ¡®Darkness¡¯.¡± Replied Nate confidently. ¡°You¡¯re wrong. What you¡¯ve stated are the basic attributes. In this world there are countless attributes, such as ¡®Time¡¯, ¡®Chaos¡¯, ¡®Blood¡¯ and many more.¡± Explained Anastasia. ¡°But of course a certain amount if talent is required to master such difficult attributes. What are ¡®Variant Attributes¡¯?¡± Asked Anastasia. Till now she had been bombarding him with questions after questions. ¡°Those are¡­..Ah right. ¡®Variant Attributes¡¯ are those attributes that greatly resemble another attribute but is somewhat different at the same time. For example ¡®Lava¡¯ Magic is a stronger variant of ¡®Fire¡¯ Magic.¡± Replied Nate. ¡°What happens to a person¡¯s ¡®Energy Pool¡¯ who trains in ¡®Fire¡¯ when he/she starts training in ¡®Lava¡¯?¡± Asked Anastasia. ¡°Well that depends. The stronger ¡®Variant Attribute¡¯ will take over the other attribute. Given that ¡®Fire¡¯ is weaker that ¡®Lava¡¯, I think that ¡®Fire Energy Pool¡¯ will be converted into a ¡®Lava Energy Pool¡¯. Am I right Mommy?¡± Asked Nate after explaining everything he knew. ¡°Very well done. You correct. Not many people are this knowledgeable about ¡®Variant Attributes.¡± Complimented Anastasia.

This universe is a gigantic place.¡± Anastasia realized that Nate had already fallen asleep in her lap. She kissed him on his forehead. ¡°Sleep well, my little prince.¡±
