Name:[Sett Archon]
Rank:[Lord]
Title: [Blue haired Bastard.]
Order: [Latent |Level 1 (0/20)]
Innate aspect:[Timespace(+)]
Aspect Description:[This aspect opens a doorway to a different plane. One week within this plane is one month in Eldor!]
Potential:[Apexian]
Sett's jaw hung open. Individuals with apexian potential were a myth. Potentials determined the number of aspects someone could awaken and they were ranked according to these eight orders.
Latent Order, 1st Order, 2nd Order, 3rd Order, 4th Order, 5th Order, 6th Order, 7th Order. Those with innate aspects, could awaken just one aspect at the latent order or keep awakening more with each order they climb.
The classification were Monogifted, Duogifted, Triune, Tetrarch, Quintarch, Hexalord, Septarch and finally Apexian!
Forget Apexian, even those with Hexalord potential were so rare that there was none in his father's dukedom. The Dukedom of Durnshade!
However, some Monogifted could defeat a Triune if their sole aspect was insanely powerful and others without aspects could also ascend in orders, even to the highest but they could not match those with innate aspect.
'It would take some time for the building to be finished. I should try the Timespace.'
With that thought, two jagged obsidian monuments etched with dull, white-glowing runes appeared two meters ahead.
The space between them split—cracking open like glass—as a brilliant golden light struggled to pierce through from the other side.
Sett shielded his eyes. The light grew stronger, engulfing everything. When he finally lowered his hands, he found himself in a snowy forest.
"What?!"
His pupils trembled.
Suddenly, his dragons hissed at the sky, forcing Sett to look up. In the next breath, his body froze.
High above the clouds, a colossal serpentine beast soared.
He could only see its vague silhouette, but it was enough—he was already drenched in cold sweat.
Hiss~
Heeding to his restless beasts, Sett crouched, allowing them to walk on the snow. Keraunos went ahead to take a huge chomp out of the strange white sand forcing Sett to gently pat it out of his mouth.
While Sett was focused on the white cute beast growling fiercely at him, trying to exert dominance even in its stupid act.
Just then, a white furry rabbit with a long spiral horn protruding out of its forehead leaped out of the shrubs.
It could match the dragons in height and had more body weight. Yet, these hungry beasts weren't willing to consider the odds.
Auge lunged at it but was quickly bested by the rabbit which vanished and reappeared a half a meter away.
A beast with an aspect!
Aion closed in with his forelimb and hindlegs leaving tiny prints on the snow. The rabbit furious that these little brats thought they could take him on, charged at Aion.
After all, it had horns.
Against these babies, it was king!
Bam! Aion was down the moment they collided and the rabbit pinned him down with its forelimbs.
The blatant disregard it had for Sett infuriated him. In that split moment, a strange word burst out of his throat.
"Ignis!"
Immediately, Keraunos and Auge breathed out smoke on their first try, forcing the rabbit to turn before flames burst out of their throats, like that of a mini flamethrower.
Set ablaze, the rabbit screamed, leaping off Aion and scrambling for the woods but Aion went after it, breathing out what looked like volcanic ash.
It has a wider range and became a mini fog that engulfed both beasts. Sett frowned, his muscles tense as he awaited the result of the battle.
By the time the fog dispaited, a badly roasted rabbit was being dragged by Aion. The black and purple beast struggled to move it, clearly dealing with something above its mass.
Before Sett's bedazzled eyes, it threw the meat to Auge. The red beast given the meal looked at him, seeking permission.
"Go ahead, Aug—!"
Keraunos lunged at the roasted rabbit, forcing Auge and Aion to counterattack causing a mini squabble between them.
In the end, the rabbit ended up in Sett's hands. First of all, the meat had to be cut into smaller pieces for them to eat properly.
'Aion clearly killed it but he would want Auge to have the biggest share but Keraunos won't have that.'
He squinted, gazing at the dragons that stared back at him, expecting a fair judgement.
Sett rubbed his forehead. 'Why does this feel like raising kids?!'
Rustle.
The bushes ahead shook violently. Sett turned, grabbing the dragons and bolting.
The monuments had reappeared, golden light cracking through them.
But before he could reach them—
Thud!
A shadow crashed from above, slamming Sett to the ground. His dragons were flung aside.
It was… a rooster.
A massive, red-crested rooster with claws like sabers and wings that kicked up waves of snow. Its eyes locked onto Sett.
He rolled aside just in time to dodge the lethal beak.
He never trained with the Duke's elite army like his brother—but he wasn't going to be eaten by poultry!
"Ignis!"
Twin bursts of flame hit from both sides, while Aion unleashed that same dark fog.
Only this time, the ash was hotter than volcanic ash—scalding and suffocating. It blanketed the rooster's face, blinding and choking it.
The rooster flapped its wings fiercely, but it was helpless against the flames. With Aion's deadly and precise hit at its face, it couldn't find Keraunos and Auge and ended up like the horned rabbit.

Order: [Latent |Level 1 (6/20)]

Seeing the amount of chi he gained, Sett itched to check out the profiles of his dragons when the sounds of a dozen more giant roosters rang from the woods.
He gathered his little ones, grabbed the dead rooster with the rabbit and vanished into the warm, golden light.
Back in Gray basin, Sett discovered the white curtain was gone and in its place was the lord's residence made majorly out of wood and a small set of stones.
But the lord's residence was behind two altars, a gray one to the left and another made out of obsidian and marble. A contrast of white and black, good and bad.
When he focused, their profiles appeared before his eyes.
Gray Altar: Summons 5 civilians daily.
Shadow/Hero Altar: Summons either a Hero or a Shadow at uncertain intervals. You can try forcing a summon with gold coins, but failure is highly probable.
Shua!
Just then, the runes etched on the gray altar and the Shadow/Hero altar glowed.
