On a small hill just high enough to look over the horizon you could see a little boy no older than 7 doing pushups. He had black unruly hair a slightly tan skin and yellow eyes. You could see the determination on his face as sweat fell from his forehead. He had a wood bow that looked very st.u.r.dy, a half empty quiver and a wood katana at his side This boy's name was Ezekiel Lockheart.

Ezekiel:"That should be enough for today" as he was laying on his back "I should get back now I don't want this meat to go to waste"

Ezekiel went hunting before he started excersising because he had to provide for his sister, well not really since his sister was a apprentice seamstress in the village they lived in so she made a decent amount of money. He just didn't like feeling useless ever since their Mom went missing chasing away a wild beast from the village.

Ezekiel:"Hey sis I'm home" as he steps inside seeing his sister cutting up some vegetables for dinner. His sister was 16 with a cute face, hair that reached her back and a good physique and the same eye color as her brother her name was Layla Lockheart.

Layla:" Welcome back Zeke hunted anything today" she said smiling lovingly at her brother.

Zeke: "Yeah I got a bunny while it was drinking water I was super sneaky"

Layla"of course you were" knowing that her little brother liked helping out since their Mom went missing."Bring it in I'll cook it with these"

Zeke:"Sure thing sis after we eat can you tell me about the outside world"

Layla:"Sure but why do you want to know so bad"

Zeke:"So that I can go look for mom when I'm older why else?" Layla sighs as she looks at her confused brother.

Laya:"Okay but hurry up!"

The food was ready and Ezekiel and his sister sat around the table enjoying their meal.

Layla:"Okay so Zeke you know that we live on the Evergreen Continent on the outskirts of Silver City."

Zeke:"Yep"

Layla:"Well other than here there are also the Dust City, Cobalt City and the Diamond City just to name a few and tons of villages and towns in between. There are also tons of clans and sects that take in people and train them to become cultivators."

Zeke: "cultivators what's that?"

Layla: "Cultivators are the people who rule this world they are extremely strong some say that the mightiest cultivators can split mountains."

Zeke:"Cool" 'with a gleam in his eye'

Layla:"Your big sis is also a cultivator I'm already at the 7th level of the body tempering realm" Said Layla proudly.

Zeke:"Body tempering what's that" asks a confused Zeke.

Layla:" Body tempering is one of the many realms in the journey of a cultivator. A realm where all must start there journey from it allows for a mortal to reach the peak capability of a human. Making us stronger and faster each time till we reach the peak. I only know of the: Body Tempering, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Realms. Anything beyond that is a mystery"

Zeke:"That's so cool I want to be a cultivator too and who is the strongest person in our village?" said a excited Zeke.

Layla:"Easy tiger you will be soon enough I'll make sure if it. Mom left us some cultivation manuals to practice before she went missing and to answer your other question OUR MOM WAS THE STRONGEST IN THE VILLAGE!!. She was at the peak of the Core Formation realm everyone else in the village are only Qi Condensation and below even the elder is only a peak Qi Condensation stage. Since you are only 7 when you turn 10 I'll start training you until then keep your body in shape. So you can progess through the first stage easier."

Zeke: "Okay sis just don't break your promise"

Layal:" I won't and stay away from the inner parts of the forest there are beast in there other than just ordinary rabbits, that can snap you like a twig". Looking fiercely at a shuddering Zeke.

Zeke:"I wont promise(at least not until I am a cultivator hehe)

Layla:"Oh! I almost forgot I'm going to silver city tomorrow to see if I can get into a sect were gonna need more resources when you start cultivating. So if you don't see me in the morning don't worry."

Zeke:"Okay sis I'll practice my archery and katana skills then."

Layla:"Good idea now go to bed its late"

Zeke:"Okay" as he runs off to his room.

Layla watches her brothers back as he leaves then starts to cry "mom why did you have to go how did a beast that strong reach all the way here without the city noticing. Now you're gone probably dead because of it I'll become strong and take care of Zeke and help him grow then we will come and find you."

At the doorway to his room Zeke heard all of this and gained knew resolve

Zeke:*I'll get stronger sis and we will find mom together I know she's alive I won't let you cry again other than tears of joy*. That night something in him had changed a conqueror was about to be unleashed on the world.
