7 The world of Nihava

Mika wanted to ask the central system about this unknown dimension and if he had access to it or not, after all he had no idea how it worked, maybe possessing the licenses was like having a pass and without it the access to the dimensions were denied.

But while he was asking himself all these questions, the dimension suddenly started to move and he found himself sucked into it.

..........

A thousand years ago a terrible war took place in the world of Nihava, the 5 major clans that ruled this world until then had lived together in harmony, but this harmony was destroyed when the Dragon clan decided to submit the other clans to its authority.

Alanis was a young phoenix, only a hundred years old, he was the most promising of his generation and the only one able to use the sacred fire.

Only one phoenix per generation got this gift and so he was naturally the future leader of the phoenix clan.

When the war broke out and the Dragons rallied by the Hydra clan started to invade the territory of the 9-tailed Fox clan, the latter, powerless to face such a threat, asked for asylum to the leader of the Phoenix clan and the Griffin clan, and an alliance was naturally formed between these 3 clans to fight together against this threat to their world.

The world of Nihava was soon divided in two, there were those who accepted to submit to the Emperor of the Dragons, that was the title he had chosen for himself, and those who resisted him.

This world turned into a gigantic battlefield and after several confrontations with the Emperor of the Dragons, the leader of the Phoenix clan made a decision that put the future of his clan in danger but it was also their only chance to survive.

He decided to use a secret forbidden technique on Alanis, explaining to him that it was his only chance to one day be stronger than the Emperor of the Dragons and thus be able to free all the clans from his oppression and live in peace as before.

Alanis agreed without hesitation, even if it meant temporarily damaging his mystical core that allowed him to use his powers, reducing his current strength by 90%.

But thanks to this forbidden technique, once his mystical core was reconstituted it would evolve into a celestial core and his power would then be multiplied by 10, only to get there he would have to go through many steps and each one of them would be very tough.

His clan leader with the help of his most powerful warriors created a dimension in which he would be safe while his mystical core regenerated, and he would have to stay there and meditate to absorb the spiritual energy he needed to be able to move on to the next step.

After the leader of the Phoenix clan and his most valiant warriors had placed all their hopes in their future clan leader, they created a trans-dimensional passage and sent this dimension to the world of Gadreel, which was a world where Alanis would be able to find everything he needed to finish transforming his mystical core into a celestial core, and thus come back stronger than ever to liberate them all.

Alanis knew that he had no choice but to succeed in the mission his clan leader had given him, it was the only chance he had to free his people from the tyranny of the Emperor of the Dragons and he had already survived the first step which was damaging his mystical core so the worst was behind him, although that was what he thought.

This secret forbidden technique had only worked once, thousands of years ago, and it was not for nothing that this technique was forbidden, because all those who had tried to reproduce it had died.

He was therefore engaged in a kind of suicide mission, but the fact that this time it was being used not for personal gain but to save the people he loved would, he really hoped, give him the will to go through all the steps.

So, for nearly 1,000 years, he remained in a kind of meditative sleep to absorb the spiritual energy in this dimension that he needed to regenerate his mystical core and to store the energy he would need when his mystical core would be ready to transform into a celestial core.

Once this second step was completed, he finally woke up and he decided not to waste time and try to accomplish as soon as possible the following steps that his clan leader had told him to do in order to be able to transform his core, and thus return to his world, where he belonged.

He now had total control of this dimension and thanks to the time he had spent meditating in it, it had expanded and everything had changed, the water in the lake near him which before was ordinary was now filled with spiritual energy as was the ground he was on.

The walls of the dimension were now encrusted with magic crystals of all sizes and the spiritual energy inside it was much denser than before.

Very proud of what he had accomplished so far, he thought that he just needed to find a trustworthy person who could help him get what he needed, and as soon as this thought formed in his head a vortex opened in front of him and he saw that a young boy was standing just on the other side.

He had the body of a warrior, he was tall, muscular and he had the cold look of someone who wasn't easily intimidated, he was perfect he thought. And if the dimension had chosen him for him, as it had been created by the most powerful warriors of his clan, it was because this boy was the one he needed to complete his mission.

With this certainty and seeing that the boy seemed reluctant to go through the vortex, a smile formed on his lips and he moved the dimension so that it sucked him in.
