Murim Recurve Chapter 114

Even though the bird continued to flap its wings nonstop, it didn't produce any sound. Re'Kha changed to the element of wood, hearing the high-frequency flapping of its wings. When she changed to the element of water, the bird's flapping frequency was the highest and the sound it produced was the loudest.
It seemed only in the wind element did its flapping produce no sound. Re'Kha just stared at it in admiration, noticing how its body didn't even budge. Its flight had the grace to it that Re'Kha couldn't describe. Its head turned in all directions while also having a wide vision.
Using it, Re'Kha was able to see her reflection. The eyes of the bird were even better than hers, so it was a good chance. She was almost losing her sense of colour after looking at the world in the grey sand structure always.
Using the bird's vision, Re'Kha looked around the room, taking note of everything. She then fully took the perspective of the bird, obtaining some knowledge. "This bird is named the Rupak. It was a beast race that came to live in an area that was previously dominated by the Bisheen but was later occupied by the Kalki. Because of that, it still retains an affinity to the elements of wood and wind while adapting to the element of water."
She took in a deep breath, learning the information streaming into her, "This bird's race is the only one of its kind that could rapidly adapt to an element, thereby inheriting the trait into its Pranic Avatar. And, the one I have is…"
She frowned as her expression morphed into one of shock, "actually the Beast King. So, I see, there doesn't exist anyone else that has the Rupak as their Pranic Avatar. If there exists any, it would be in my descendants."
Each beast was different. And, every race of beasts had their own traits and lived in their respective habitats. And, when the population of a beast race exceeds a certain number, they give birth to a special variant of their race that would later grow up to rule them all. Such beasts were termed the Beast King.
Normally, if there were more than 300 beasts in a group, it was enough to topple an Elemental Clan. After all, the maximum number of active Harmonisers an Elemental Clan, irrespective of the city it originated from was at most 400.

And, if they went toe-to-toe, a Harmoniser may or may not win against a beast. Beasts had tougher bodies as compared to the Harmonisers. Harmonisers possessed Pranic Arts that they could wield to show a variety of results.
On the other hand, the beasts only had their breath attacks to rely on. And, the shape of the breath attacks of every beast race varied. Still, their advantage lay in the range. As long as the momentum behind it allowed, the breath attack of a beast could travel without limits.
The case wasn't the same for the Harmoniser, whose maximum distance was six men. So, it created a lot of variables that factored their battles; it wasn't possible to say who between a Harmoniser and a beast would end up as the victor unless they actually fought it out.
A Harmoniser was also able to depend on his Pranic Avatar to fight. But when it only had a single foundation, the Pranic Avatar was unable to use its breath attack. So, it could only rely on its physique to fight. It would only gain the ability to launch a breath attack when it had two foundations.
So usually, when a beast race produced a Beast King, it meant they possessed enough numbers to overwhelm a city. They became a force to reckon with. The Beast Kings were stronger than other members of their race, had a bigger build, stronger breath attacks, and also lived twice longer.
Its descendants were also a tad stronger than the rest. And usually, when the Beast King died, the child of one of its descendants, or line of descendants would be birthed as the next Beast King. This was a natural process and continued…unless it was interrupted.
Suppose the Beast King was killed by a Harmoniser; he would extract its heart, store it, and present it to their race's Celestial Emperor. Their Celestial Emperor would use his method on it to fuse the Beast King's heart into the Harmoniser, granting him a Pranic Avatar.
After that, when he summons the Pranic Avatar, it would be the beast race the respective Beast King had ruled over. So, he would be the first of his line of Harmonisers with the respective Pranic Avatar. And, when he has descendants, and they become Harmonisers, they too would come to nurture the same beast in their Pranic Hearts.
And, there was a faint chance the nurtured beast could become a Beast King, which meant its physique would grow bigger, stronger, tougher, and also gain the ability to command others of its race, both the Pranic Avatars and the beasts in the wilds.

But, it was incredibly rare, so rare it wasn't even seen. Even for the first Harmoniser, the one that had obtained the heart of the Beast King, it was difficult to nurture his Pranic Avatar into a Beast King.
There could only exist one Beast King for a beast race. And, once a Beast King was killed and a Harmoniser obtained it as their Pranic Heart, it meant the line of the Beast King was lost forever to the beast race.
So, a Beast King would never be born in the wilds ever again. The only chance for its arrival would be when one of the Pranic Avatars grows into the Beast King.
Re'Kha hadn't ever come across a Beast King, not in the wilds, and not in the possession of a Harmoniser as his Pranic Avatar. So, that alone displayed just how incredible Beast Kings were. Now, her Rupak was sourced from a Beast King. So, it meant she was the first in the line of Harmonisers to possess the respective Pranic Avatar.
"This is just…amazing!" Re'Kha remarked, experimenting with the Rupak. It was because she was the first to possess it did she obtain information from it.
Her descendants would only learn of basic information like the name of its race, and its habitat—the habitat they lived upon when they were ruled by their Beast King. Re'Kha had learned the same for her Balou when she obtained 10 units of Water Qi.
10 units of Water Qi was the requirement to summon her Balou. Similarly, it was 10 units of Elemental Qi to summon the Pranic Avatars for others. So, only when she obtained her 10th unit did she learn of the information about her Balou's origins.
As for the Rupak, she also obtained some memories from it, memories of a man that had single-handedly killed it—the Rupak Beast King. It was the Beast King's memory. As she was inheriting the race of Rupak in her blood, she ought to know about it.
That was why the memories existed in her; they came along with the Beast King's heart. Once she learns everything about it, this information would be contained in her blood and would be passed on to her future generations.
Even though they wouldn't be able to learn the information, it would still be in them and act as a foundation for them to rely on while using their Pranic Avatar. It would be converted into an instinct of sorts for them. That was why no Harmoniser ever struggled to control their Pranic Avatar.
"It's good." Re'Kha relished the experience, intending to learn more about the Rupak when she heard footsteps through the extended range of her Wind Qi perception. She sighed, feeling it was a pity that she was unable to learn more about the Rupak when there were still a lot of memories to unearth.
She hadn't even seen the appearance of the man. Though, judging through her instincts, she knew it was her master. So, she was ample curious to know it further.
'I can learn more about this once I recover my Elemental Qi naturally.' Re'Kha retracted her Pranic Avatar as she wore her dress. While experimenting before, once she shifted to her water element, her Bisheen transformation came undone and she returned to her original appearance. So, Re'Kha quickly wore her dress and adjusted her appearance.
She double-checked to see there was nothing strange in her appearance, clothes, and the room. She then matched the pace of the servant Sii, standing before the door as she opened it a moment before Sii was about to call for her, "Oh, you are here? Did you get a reply?"
"Yes, my lady." Sii nodded, "Lady Ki'Nua said she would arrive here soon enough. It takes less than 600 breaths in time to reach here from her home."
"That's quick," Re'Kha nodded, "I guess I'll get ready then."
"My lady, do you want me to prepare a good set of dress for you? Your current clothes aren't…good enough to visit." Sii said after a careful glance at Re'Kha.
"It's fine, I'll wear a Re Clan's dress. I have a couple of them with me. I am more comfortable with wearing them when I go out." Re'Kha pointed at the cupboard, saying she had what she needed.
"Then, I'll prepare a nice shoulder bag for you, my lady." Sii bowed and exited.

Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
