Grandpa laughed and looked at Zio.

"Religans are powerful weapons that hold a lot of power in them, the better the Religan the stronger that person can become.

People get their Religan by making a contract with a magical beast, the stronger the magical beast the stronger the Religan they will get, the beast becomes a part of them and connects to their soul.

Forming a Religan contract is really hard.

If the user is not up to the magical beast's expectation they might reject them and they will have to find another one to make a contract with, once a contract is successful the magical beast turns into a weapon that is suitable for the user's soul and the magical beast becomes the part of the user's soul itself as they form a symbiotic relationship"

He explained it to Zio.

"Ohhhhhh, so which magical beast did you form a contract with?"

Zio asked.

"I made a contract with a Red Tusk Mammoth"

Grandpa said with a proud expression on his face.

"Is it really that strong?"

Zio asked.

"Of course it is, Red Tusk Mammoth might not be the strongest Mammoth species out there but it is still strong, too bad I am old now or I could have become a lot stronger, I missed my chance"

Grandpa said and sighed with dissatisfaction, suddenly the sword beside him released a faint glow and Grandpa smiled again and patted his sword, it looked like they talked to each other.

"What about mother, which magical beast did you contract with?"

Zio asked as he looked at the daggers around his mother's waist.

"I formed a contract with a Snow Wolf, they are majestic beasts who are very fast and agile"

She said and smiled.

"What about Dad?"

He asked.

He remembered his dad, carrying a long green sword along with him, its guard had a snake's head.

"Your dad's magical beast is an Emerald Python, it is a very strong magical beast with a very hard scale, enough to take multiple blows from enemies but it also has a very powerful strike, enough to defeat its enemy swiftly"

Lisa said.

"Which magical beast is the strongest, I want to form a contract with that"

Zio said excitedly.

"Well, the strongest magical beasts are those Mythical creatures of the legends, like Dragons and Phoenix but not many can form a contract with them, even the strongest person in our kingdom can form a contract with a Mythical beast, don't get your hopes up, I know you will find an awesome magical beast that will form a contract with you when you grow older"

Grandpa said and laughed and patted Zio's head.

"When exactly?"

Zio asked as he couldn't wait to hold his own Religan in his hand, just the thought of wielding a unique weapon of his own excited him.

"When you turn 15, that is the perfect age to form a contract, when you become fifteen, Grandpa will help you to find a magical beast worthy of my little Zio"

"Thank you, Grandpa"

Zio got happy and hugged him.

"Well I still have more to say so you should listen"

His Grandpa said and started to speak again, Zio sighed and knew that he made a mistake asking his Grandpa as he tends to talk a lot.

"You know some people don't have to go search for a Religan at all"

Grandpa said with a mysterious smile, hearing this Zio got intrigued.

"Why is that?"

He asked as he wants to know more.

"Some people are born with a Religan in their soul and they acquire it when they turn fifteen but these people are very rare, they people are born with a mark on their body from birth, when they turn fifteen they will awaken their sleeping Religan, these type of people are very rare, it's one in a million chance that someone will be born with a Religan attached to their soul and these people become very powerful, they become overlords and rulers of the world"

Grandpa said with a serious tone.

"If you ever meet a person like this in your life, it is best for you to make friends with them and not enemies.

If you can't be friends with them you should just not mingle and bother with them"

He gave a warning to Zio but Zio doesn't understand what so special about these people anyway but he decided to keep Grandpa's words in his mind as his Grandpa is the most knowledgeable person in their clan.

"Grandpa you said that these people will become the rules of the world, then what about our first ancestor, was he also one of these special people?"

Zio asked.

He has heard stories about their ancestor, the person who ended the war between the 12 gods, and brought back peace to humanity.

"No, our ancestor was not one of those born with a Religan?"

"Then how did he become someone who ruled the world?"

Zio asked.

His Grandpa always talked about the first ancestor, the strongest person to ever step foot in this world, one who wasn't questioned at all, everyone just bowed their head in respect and nothing else, but Zio didn't understand what happened afterward, why did their clan who were once the rulers of this world end up to become such a small clan with only a few hundred members.
