It has come to my attention that some people have some questions regarding the Spirit ranking system. This is a thread meant to clarify some things.

First let's talk about regular spirits. Like all Spirits they are born without a rank.

Growing up they usually end up between 'commoner' and 'soldier' rank. But with enough hard work and a strong spirit bond (will be explained in the Spirit Academy arc) they can reach the 'Emperor' rank at best.

Mythological spirits are however 'ranked'. For example the 'Heaven' rank Golden Dragon. It is a spirit with the 'potential' to reach the Heaven rank after growing up.

This is, however not always the case. There are a lot of variables connected to which rank it'll reach after growing up. These variables will be touched upon in the Spirit Academy arc so I don't see the need to explain them now.

But what I want to clarify is that even dragons are born without a rank or at the early commoner rank at best.

The Ranking System goes like this:

Unranked > Commoner > Soldier > Captain > Commander > General > Royal > Emperor > Heaven > Legendary > Ascension > ? ...

How a spirit is ranked will also be explained in the Spirit Academy arc.

Everything I explained in this thread is however not my (the author's) words. But what is known in the world of Tariel...

I hope this post will clear some things up for you guys! I'm sorry for my horrible explaining skills! You'll have to bare with them until I find myself a proof reader!

During the first few days of our journey all I did was sense what was happening around us. A new flower, a new insect everything seemed so interesting.

Then it got boring... just sitting here for hours drains more mental energy than you think.

Haux however is lucky, he can fly. So he usually flies away to find a mouse or some other small animal to gobble down.

Sitting here I sense my father sleeping in front of me. His drool has been my only source of entertainment for hours...

Sighing I start playing with my ability.

'Monarchy of Thunder' is a name I thought up approximately a year ago.

That day, there...

See ya tomorrow c:
