Zio has started to descend down the mountain finally, after staying inside the cave for three years inside Mount Asura he was done with that dark place. While walking through the forest that is growing on top of this mountain, Zio took his time to look around.

When he got here for the first time, he was very cautious about his surrounding as he was very weak, but now things are a little different, with the bow in his hand Zio can walk through the forest without being scared about his life.

If any magical beast tried to attack him he can handle it with ease, but he still has to be careful, there are still some magical beast that is too strong for him to take it head-on but he is also lucky because he is weak. These magical beasts won't even bother with him.

Zio continued his way down the mountain, he really wanted to meet his family and show them his new Religans, in these three years of being away from his family, Zio has changed a lot, he has heard anything from Asura.

He has learned about the good and bad but still has to experience them, he has already planed to leave and explore the world outside, but before doing that he wants to say a last goodbye to his family for good.

Zio didn't even notice that his desire to become stronger and see the world outside was even greater for him than his family and clan itself, this is his sin growing, the one Asura sensed, a selfish prideful sin.

With Zio's current speed and strength he easily got past the fires and entered the area where the mountain starts to get steeper and steeper.

There is no road for him to take him down the mountain so he has to rely on his fingers and feet to do so, jumping down is something Zio is not doing, no matter how strong his body has become he cannot just jump down, he would become a blood splat on the ground if he did that.

Using his strength and strong fingers, Zio gripped on to the protrusions on the mountains and started to climb down, gaps and cracks can be found all over the mountain so it was not hard for him to climb down, the only time he was in danger was when he used too much power in his fist and he crushed a little stone that he was hanging from, as he started to fall down he quickly grabbed onto another gap in the rocks and stopped his fall.

That was a close one but Zio learned he cannot use too much power during his descend, after a day of just climbing down the mountain, he found an area that was flat and he could rest there for a bit.

"Why is this mountain so tall? Even doing down is hard"

Zio shouted at the open expanse in front of him, tired he laid down on the hard flat rock but he didn't feel uncomfortable, he was used to the hard ground beneath his body.

"Well Val was the one who decided to create this mountain, he wanted this mountain to act as a wall to protect Clan Asura"

Asura said.

"Who is Valt?"

The Dragon asked as he was clueless, he was born in this mountain and lived in it for quite a while now but he still doesn't know much about it, this mountain is filled with strong magical beasts and this mountain also seems to have a power source inside it, even if Asura leaves this place, it won't change much.

"He was my format partner and Zio's first ancestor"

Asura said and noticed that Zio has fallen asleep, he sighed and decided to go quite as well, same with the dragon, having no one to talk to he went silent as well.

A new day and the sun shone on top of Mount Asura and woke up Zio, he slowly opened his eyes and covered it from the rays of the sun, he stretched his body and took out some rabbit meat that he had already cooked before and started to chew on it, he still needs the energy to do work, once he was done eating he started his descend down the mountain once again.

Having not traveled up the mountain, Zio has no idea how long he has o continue doing this, he could see the clouds below him but they seemed as far as when he saw them yesterday.

But he had to continue, after three days of descending downwards and taking rest in plat cliffs he finally arrived at the clouds, this was really troublesome, he remembered how fast the Wind Vulture had carried him up to the peak of the mountain, but he had to take three days just to reach the clouds, he still needs to get past it and hit the road, luckily for him there is a spiral road that will lead him down the mountain after these clouds, so he doesn't have to use the cracks and gaps to climb down the mountain.

Zio's descend continued down the clouds and he finally reached the other side, as soon as he crossed the cloud, he instantly felt the cold on this side, he remembered how clod it actually was when he tried to climb the mountain back then, he thought how stupid he was, blinded by the desire to become strong could have led him to his own death but luck was by his side.

If that vulture hadn't come and carried him up the mountain he would have died from the cold and then got eaten by some random scavenger in the mountains.

He quickly found a flat area to jump down and took a deep breath, the energy inside his body kept him warm in this harsh cold, he looked at the world below him, and what he saw next stunned him as his eyes constricted.
