《Arthur...but the draft》Sorta, Kinda The Beginning pt 2
Advertisement
As though a massive door had been opened, a strange power began to course through him.
Sensing the changes in Arthur, the only man immediately pulled back his attack as a smile blossomed on his face.
Whoosh.
A multi-colored aura suddenly burst forth from Arthur like a tidal wave.
Appearing beneath Aegon's tree, the old man continued to smile as he watched the transformation occur.
Boom.
The multi-colored aura around Arthur became more distinct as five colors rose in dominance. With a powerful gale, one of the five colors – green, took precedence as Arthur rose into the air, uprooting some of the surrounding trees. Noticeably, as Arthur rose into the air, the white steak in his golden hair also turned green. Seeming content with its display, the green aura receded as a blue aura took over.
A sudden chilling aura burst from Arthur replacing the gale as the surrounding area became covered in frost, and as though responding to the blue aura, the green streak in his hair turned blue. Also seeming content with its display, the blue aura receded as a brown aura took governance, and as it did so, the blue streak in Arthur's hair turned brown.
With the appearance of the brown aura, tremors began to shake the surroundings as the ground heaved and rolled. Also seemingly satisfied with its display, the brown aura receded as a red aura surged.
A scorching aura rushed forth, singeing the surrounding. With the red aura's appearance, Arthur's streak of now brown hair turned red. After also satisfactorily displaying its might, the red aura also receded.
When all seemed to quiet, the streak in Arthur's hair turned white as a golden aura abruptly burst forth from him. As the aura spread out, the enclosure was immediately bathed in a caressing aura. Then a shocking thing happened; the clearing devasted from the earlier spar, and the appearance of the elemental auras rapidly began to restore itself.
The old man underneath the tree was shocked. An ability to heal and restore? Being able to utilize all four elements could already be considered a divine gift, but to be able to heal and restore, the potential uses for a ruler was endless. Sigh, this was just ridiculous.
As Arthur's feet touched down again, his closed eyes opened wide. "What just happened?"
The old man smiled as he walked over," congratulations, you have awoken your Aura World."
"Aura World?"
"Yes, your Aura World. As beings who were already born in the third dimension, our starting point is quite high. But due to that, we can't open our Aura World until we reach fifteen years of age. For a person to grow in strength, they must condense the three celestial objects in their Aura World. As for the three celestial objects, one must first generate a Lunar Core, then a Terra Core, and then finally a Solar Core with each core being broken into early, middle, late stages or core, mantle, and crust. However, there is a prerequisite to advancing though the cores; you must generate a total of nine rings per core. You can look at your Core as your energy source and the rings as the evolution of your unique ability, as your core and rings grow in tandem, the stronger your ability will become and so will you."

After a slight pause, the white-haired old man noticed a slightly lost look on Arthur's face, causing him to chuckle." Relax, it is not as complicated as it sounds. As you grow stronger, you will naturally come to understand these things. Anyways, try focusing on your mind, you will begin to see what I am talking about or everything I just said will just be gibberish."
Snapping out of his daze, Arthur nodded as he brought his focus within himself. After a short moment, he found himself withing an expansive void – his Aura World. Below his feet stood on what seemed to be a golden sea that stretched as far as he could see. Looking above, he discovered a completely dark sky. Instinctively Arthur sat cross-legged in at the center of a golden sea, and soon a golden crystal encased him. While lost in a supernatural feeling, the crystal encasing Arthur shot a beam of golden light into the sky.
After some time, the golden beam finally receded.
Just as golden crystal encasing Arthur cracked and fell into the golden sea beneath him, a green crystal immediately encased him as the golden sea began to turn green. Similar to golden crystal, the green crystal also shot a beam of light into the sky. After green crystal cracked and fell into the green sea, a similar scene happened with a blue, brown, and red crystal. As the red crystal cracked and fell into a red sea, a golden light shone from above, returning the sea back to gold.
Awakening from his meditative state, Arthur immediately noticed the changes in his Aura World. In the once empty dark sky, five different lights shone. At the center was a golden orb that was double the size of the other four orbs. Like servants before their master, the four other orbs obediently orbited the golden orb. With a slight shudder from the golden orb, the surrounding four orbs were immediately absorbed within it.
A white light suddenly shimmered beside Arthur, as a hazy figure of the white-haired old man appeared. Looking at the sky, the old man couldn't help but gawk," since when were lunar seeds so big!?"
Looking at the old man in puzzlement, Arther couldn't help but ask, "lunar seeds?"
Turning to look at Arthur in amazement, he nodded," yes, lunar seeds, that orb in the sky isn't a lunar core yet. Before a core comes into being, it is a seed, they must continuously absorb energy to reach their Core states. However, you have five of these, but what I find interesting it how the Golden seed absorbed the others. They aren't fused yet, meaning you will have to absorb enough energy to elevate all five of them to their Lunar core states."

The old sighed. "It would seem that your cultivation path will be an arduous one."
Arthur smiled," it doesn't feel that way, they each seem to complement one another. I don't know how to explain it, but they feel like one seed with five-parts. I can sense energy being shared between them, but I can still tell I will still need a lot of energy to elevate it to its core state."
Slightly surprised, the old man nodded in understanding.
With a flash, they both returned to the physical world.
Looking at Arthur, the old smiled.
"You are ready."
Over the past ten years, Arthur onerously trained with Old Man in preparation for the day he would return to the world the old man found him in. After finding out what had happened to his parents, his desire to grow stronger was only eclipsed with his need to know more about what exactly happened to his family. And for that, his nose was constantly buried in all kinds of books from governance to runes, because only with the power of a strong Sovereignty will he be able to scour the world in search of answers. Thus leading him to learn all that he could to establish one.
But it would all be for naught if his personal strength was weak. Hence, his grueling training with the Old Man, who continuously refused to divulge his name. From running from hordes of monster to 'train' endurance and will to standing on a thin pole, hundreds of meters of the ground reciting the uses of various runes while being bombarded with orbs of lighting and everything in between. It would be an understatement to say he is just 'prepared'.
Nevertheless, as they appeared in the clearing. The Old Man pointed to the ring around Arthur's neck."If I'm not wrong, it is most likely your father's and probably within it are many treasures. But, you should know that there are some seals on it to restrict the things you can access, probably dependant on age or strength. However, now that you are fifteen, an important age in the world, why don't you try it on."
Taking a deep breath, Arthur removed the ring from its chain. Putting it on, a silvery light shone as the ring tightened on the left index finger. As it tightened, a runic seal hovered above it for a moment before dispersing and revealing a smooth crystal.
Upon seeing the crystal, the Old Man slightly surprised."A legacy stone, and one of great quality too, interesting. For someone to create a settlement, they will need one. Anyways, its good news for your goal of becoming a Sovereign."
Hearing the Old Man's words, Arthur Nodded. Originally, once he returned to his original world, he was planning on either buying one or hunting for one while growing in strength. But it would have taken some time, and luckily he now didn't have to.
Stepping forward, the old man placed his thumbs over Arthur's eyes. "This is my gift to you."
As his words ended, a white light engulfed his thumbs.
As he stepped away, Arthur opened his sapphire eyes, which now had a white halo around them – omniscient eyes.
Looking around, he was slightly surprised as he could make out distinctive traits of all of the soundings, including the flow of energy.
"Thank You."
The old man nodded."A Sovereign must see through all."
For as long as Arthur could remember, he has always been with the old man. Though cruel in his training methods, he still treated him like his grandson. Though the days were tough with the old man's hellish training, the time spent with him was still a cherished memory. Honestly, it felt like just an hour ago, the old man had him running from some creature – oh wait, it was.
Sigh. Goodbyes were always the hardest.
As Arthur reminisced, the old man stepped forward and tapped his forehead.
"Goodbye, little one."
Before Arthur could react, he briefly lost consciousness and soon found himself standing at the base of a wide valley surrounded by five large mountains, with the central one being the largest. Beside him, Aegon growled with a stupefied look on his face, whereas Excalibur continuously moved his Rubix-like body as he stabilized himself in the air. Taking a deep breath, Arthur looked into his right hand, staring at the legacy crystal.
