《The Lions Pride》Chapter 4
Advertisement
When William stepped out of the fog and into the clear valley he was shocked.
The valley was build up by fog forming caves and flowers but even though everything was grey in color it was breathtaking. William was about to take a step back from the shock but the fog wouldn’t let him re enter it and pushed him forward into the valley once more.
After a few moments William finally recovered and started to look around the valley for some clues where the mysterious young man wanted him to go and it wasn’t that hard to figure out which way because there was only one path he could take and that was forward.
While walking through the grey valley William saw flowers sprouting , blooming and dying in short intervals , he could also see some grass growing from the ground then withering and repeating its cycle over and over again.
After some time William finally encountered one of his spirits and he remembered what Mr.Hendrickson had told him in class and that was a person has many spirits that can have one or more personality trait that you may have now or can get in the future. Also a spirit grew stronger depending on the quality of the emotion, personality trait ,numbers of emotion and personality traits and also how well you bonded with the spirit.
Some children would bond the first spirit they saw but William knew that the spirit was one of the weakest only having connection to one of his lower emotions so he continued on the path and he meet more and more spirits deeper he went but none fitted Williams taste or agenda.
He couldn’t settle for any spirit he needed one strong enough for him to be recognised by his father as a true Rosenthal in the future. Finally a change happened in the valley the path had broken up into 3 different directions and the special thing was that from the path to the right was giving of a calm feeling like everything was alright while the path from the left gave of a feeling of greed and that everything in the world was yours. The path in the middle was the most impressive it gave off a pressure that wouldn’t bow to anyone and only the most worthy could thread it’s path. William stayed at the intersection for a little while trying to decide which path he would begin with, finally he decided to start with the path to the right only because it gave of a calming feeling.

William noticed a difference to this path than the main path and that was during the main path he could see many different spirits but here it was only light elements spirits and most of them had golden wings contrast to their bleak environment and another noticeable feature was that there were only beautiful and pure creatures like fairies , light elementals , horses with horns and wings. Although most of these spirits were very alluring for William and he wanted to make a contract with a few of them like the fairy with 6 golden wings and the horse creature that lead the others but he wanted to see what was located at the end of this path and the other paths.
Finally it seemed like William had reached the end of the path as it looked like the path started to become narrower and smaller the deeper he went. In the end before him was a big room with only a single spirit depicting a woman with 9 wings and a holy aura around her, she was probably the most beautiful woman William ever seen and she was telling him to come closer
Slowly William drew closer to the maiden and the closer he came the more intoxicated he became and he had decided not to look into the other paths and invoke a contract with this spirit at all cost.
Evelynn stop cheating the kid hasn’t even met me yet!
Aloud sinister voice echoed across the valley and William was brought out of the charm and he retreated away from the woman scared out of his wits.
Amon how dare you disrupt this holiness ritual! Come on old hag if you wanna fight you only need to tell me!
A dangerous pressure started building and a fight would probably begin shortly with William caught in the middle without a way to escape he started to pray for Stuart to come and save him like many times before.
Stop it we agreed to let the kid meet all of us before he makes a decision
A loud rumbling voice echoed out once more making the woman and the sinister unknown identity become quiet.

Come on kid go back to the beginning and go thorough the right path and meet Amon after that you can try my path.
Once more the voice echoed out then to become quite. William slowly started to back out of the room still scared of the woman in front of him that made him lose all reasoning and he remembered what Stuart had once told him. The most scary thing is not monsters it is a woman that can make you lose all reason and he started to understand what Stuart meant by that now. Before he made it out of the valley the spirit named Evelynn called to him and said in a sweet voice.
Kid if none of those old fools can enchant you come back to me and we will make a contract okay.
William could only nod and turn around so he could come out of this path as quick as possible. Finally he returned to the main path once more and could breath out but he knew his journey was not over yet because from the right path once more a sinister voice echoed out.
Come on kid I have waited for far too long!
Once more William brazed himself and walked inside the left path to meet the spirit named Amon.
The difference between the right and left chat was quite obvious in the former path everything was beautiful and pure while in the later path everything is twisted and wicked.
William could see worms eating one another and snakes fighting and riping eachother to treads. He could also see gnome or goblin looking creature fighting over parts that victor didn’t eat and William was almost throwing up and finally he saw an abomination eating itself which made him run through the path while ignoring everything.
Finally the nightmare was over and like before the path started to become narrower and smaller.
So you finally arrived kid, I have waited too long for this.
For the first time since entering this valley William answered with a shaking voice.
You must be Amon right? Yes I am Amon kid.
In front of William was a spirit that looked like a mix between a goat , snake , human and dragon with horns on top of his head and goat legs, he had a face shaped like a snakes and long teeth that stuck out of his mouth with scales on his arms and stomach with a human torso.
Have you admired my looks enough boy? Are you stronger than the lady? You mean that bitch Evelynn? Yeah in some departments she excels in illusions and healing while I am a butcher.
A long silence developed while William started to slowly understand what Amon meant with being a butcher and he slowly started to walk out of the room until he started to run towards the main path once more.
Kid just so you know I will be much more useful to achieve your agenda!
After Amon said that a bone chilling laughter echoed through the left path and William knew that if it was between Amon and Evelynn he would choose Amon.
Finally he arrived at the main path once more to start his journey into the middle path that hopefully would be his last.
The difference between the middle path and the others was not only the pressure that increased the deeper you went inside no the more particular thing was that no more spirit was in the middle path. It was almost like the pressure wouldn’t allow another spirit inside the path but itself.
Finally the path started to narrow down and William arrived at a room once more.

The Primordial
With one goal fueling him, he broke through the final barrier, reaching the apex of power and regaining that which was once lost. Trying to find a new beginning, he reforged himself anew as he awoke to memories of a long forgotten past. Memories that intersected with his new reality. His invincible soul now unchained, surprises await him as he begins his new jouney in an unknown land. I'm just writing this for fun, but i'll never drop it. This won't be something short, as I have the very long term in mind, but I'm a total noob to writing, so I most likely won't release chapters very often, at least until I really get the hang of it. But, the chapters will always be several thousand words long. At the minimum 2k, maximum like 6k... Pretty big variations, sorry. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's understandable. Regardless, if you have a read, I'd appreciate feedback for areas you think I should improve on, whether it's the use of some words or how I should write something or WHATEVER. I'm open to anything, good or bad, because with your help, it'll help make this story better. **DISCLAIMER** So you don't waste your time, I want to let you know what you're getting into, because I like knowing ahead of time before I read something. This might appear like a Xianxia novel, but it's not. It only starts that way. This is a western fantasy world and setting that many of you are familiar with. The beginning chapters might be a bit of an info dump. Some of it might seems superfluous, but a lot of information is relevant to the story. The first few chapters might also seem rushed, but I'll try to keep it exclusive to those. This is a cliche, OP MC story with the typical harem, but other than the quick start, everything else will be gradual. There will be romance, and probably many moments at that, but don't expect anything TOO detailed. If you want something really steamy, look elsewhere. References and throwbacks to stuff most likely. The setting won't be really dark or really light. Middleground, I guess. The MC is far from a young kid, but he won't totally reflect his age. I don't plan on discarding info, abilities or characters that you KNOW should come back and be around. I see it a lot and it sort of bugs me haha... but I could have oversights, I dunno. As I said, I'm a noob. That's it, really. If you're interested, welcome to my world!
