THE BEGINNING OF THE END

More than a million years ago, Nikrim

Aiming a short blade toward his target, a young cultivator filled his lungs with frosty winter air and focused. Energy and particles of the Forces of Destruction and Lightning poured from his body into the weapon. Under the influence of his will, they intertwined into a complex structure, forming a technique.

“Thunder Shot.”

Time seemed to slow down. The blade glowed and a long lightning beam erupted from its tip. Evaporating snowflakes in its path, it reached the target, piercing it completely through. Time returned to its normal flow.

The young cultivator finally exhaled. A smile spread on his face. A quiet applause came from behind his back. Turning around, he sheathed the blade and bowed.

“Not bad, not bad...”

“So that’s what you wanted to surprise us with.”

“Well done, Tyrvin. You’ve finally mastered the Forces of Lightning,” a beautiful white-haired girl dressed in snow-white robes with a fur collar of the same color said. “I’m proud of you.”

Casting a grateful glance at Gwill, Tyrvin was about to say something when his face suddenly darkened.

“Thank you, sister. I did only one Force, however... If I were as good with Lightning as I am with Metal...” He clenched his fists, which were instantly covered with iron. “But I’m the worst with this element in our entire family!”

“Nonsense! Don’t forget how old you are! You’re only just unlocking your potential. There’s still time to catch up and even overtake your peers,” Akio said.

“I agree.” Nator, who was watching the clouds floating in the sky, nodded. “You still have time to master it...”

“Ha! Look who’s talking!!” Tyrvin grimaced. “We’re both ten, but you’ve already broken through to the first level of the Mind Stage, while I’m only at the end of the Muscle Stage! And I’m even two months older than you! It’s not fair!” Tyrvin shouted, after which he looked down and fell silent.

For a few seconds, there was silence in the garden, interrupted only by the distant gurgling of the stream.

“Tyrvin, come here,” Gwill suddenly said.

The snow crunched under his feet as he made his way to the entrance of the huge house where the trio was waiting for him under a canopy.

“What?” he asked and looked up.

The ringing of a slap broke the silence. Tyrvin fell and touched his reddened cheek.

“What was that for?” he asked resentfully and glared at his sister.

“Justice,” Gwill replied calmly and held out her hand to help him up.

“What? But... Why?” Tyrvin mumbled to himself as he got back to his feet.

“Unfortunately, you’re still young and unaware, but remember,” Gwill said, looking her younger brother straight in the eyes. “There’s no justice. Our world is cruel. You can work yourself to death and achieve nothing, while someone next to you will be able to achieve your goals effortlessly. Your only option in life is to never stop and stay focused on your goal. Even if you want something, it doesn’t mean that you can get it. But if you don’t even try, you’ll never know.
