Elder Sister- Sacred Phoenix Body
Looking at her Horacio Long felt lost. He was speechless for quite some time. Seeing this, Grandma Ming smiled and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Hearing this Horacio Long snapped back to reality and a wry smile appears on his face thinking,
"She would have been the most beautiful woman if she had been on planet earth."
He regains his composure as he thought, how could have Grandma Ming changed her appearance, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Why are you in this body?", asked Grandma Ming in a stern voice, seeing the cold look on her face Horacio Long felt scared.
"I don't know what really happened. I woke up and the first person I saw was you. I have no idea why I am in this body", replied Horacio Long honestly with a tense look on his face.
Hearing his reply and seeing his expression Grandma Ming sighed in relief as she thought that Horacio Long was actually an evil expert who forcefully occupied a baby's body. Seeing Horacio's tense expression she believed what he said was true. Being an expert she trusted in her judgment.
Horacio was felt relief, as if he had overcome a great crisis. Looking at Grandma Ming he felt that she was not as kind as she looked. Suddenly, Grandma Ming waved her hand in air and a ring appears in her hand.
Looking at Horacio she says, "This is a ComLink. You can find all the information you need on this world. The information is transmitted directly to your mind. You can access it directly using your mental energy. This needs to stay with you till your Awakening. After that the elders of your selected Job will provide you with a new one. Also, it will suppress your mental energy for a few years. This is not to bully you. This is to protect your sister, she cannot withstand your mental energy yet."
Horacio didn't understand most of it but understood that it was necessary to protect his sister.
Wait!!!
What???
Sister!?
Horacio Long was shocked and he shouted, "I have a sister!!"
Horacio in his mental energy form, floated up and looked around. He found Grandma Ming holding a red haired baby in her arms. Grandma Ming looked at him with a kind look in her eyes and said, "She's older than you by 2 minutes."
Horacio Long's eyes filled with tears.

Planet Earth, in a dense rainforest a 12 year old boy was running among the trees a desperate look on his face. Running beside him was a girl of around 14 years. Both of them were wearing tattered clothes that were stained in blood and dirt. They were being chased by a pack of wolves. A howl pierced through the sky as the leader of pack came into the view. There girl looked behind and realised that it would be impossible to escape. Looking at her younger brother her eyes filled tears.
The boys was unaware of this as he was filled with fear.
"I am sorry Long'er. I love you. This is a world of survival of the fittest. You have to live happily."
Hearing his sister's voice he was filled with dread. He turned around to see a sad smile on his sister's face. It broke his heart. He wished to scream but the voice never came out as he watched her slash her arm with a knife and run in different direction. Smelling the fresh blood the wolves ran off in her direction.
Horacio Long kept running, his mind blank. By the time he registered what happened, he lost consciousness.

"So I have an elder sister in this life too" ,thought Horacio Long.
Seeing him dazed like this Grandma Ming was surprised as she had been observing Horacio since the start. Looking at him she realized that something must have happened in the past to make him react like this.
Horacio turned around and asked in a low voice, "Why did she cry after seeing me?"
"Your mental energy higher than her. It created a pressure on her."
Understand this Horacio Long's sad look disappeared and was replaced by a look of determination.
Looking at the ring floating above Grandma Ming's hand he asked once again, "How does this ring work?"
Seeing his look of determination Grandma Ming explained, "Merge a drop off blood on this ring. It will automatically merge with your body."
"Please help me do so"
"You won't be able to come out in you mental energy form till you are ten. Also you will be about to use it after you are there year old. Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Grandma Ming.
"Yes" replied Horacio without hesitation.
Grandma Ming didn't say anything further and flicked a finger as drop off blood emerged from Horacio Long's body and merged with the ring.
Looking at his sister he whispers, "Today will be the last time you cried because of me."
His mental energy form faded and he returned to his body.

The children in this world grew faster when compared to children on Earth. It was only give months when Horacio Long sand his sister started to walk. By that time Grandma Ming's granddaughter could speak a few words. Horacio Long learned her name after hearing Grandma Ming speak to her. Her name was Ming Yue.
The two girls grew close together and being the eldest amongst the three Ming Yue was very bossy. Being the closest to her, Horacio Fenghuang and Ming Yue teamed together to bully Horacio Long. Though his soul was suppressed he didn't mind it all. Looking at his sister laughing after bullying him, he felt that it was worth it. He let her do as she wished. Though being bullied by Ming Yue he felt a little annoyed.
His parents came out of the seclusion and after feeling their love and care he felt blessed and wished that he could lead a normal life.

Time flew since then and after 15 days Tianshang Long would turn 3 years. Tianshang Long was sitting in his room studying a hand drawn map of the forest and sea around the Sea and Mountain Village. He was considered an intelligent child in comparison to other children in the village. Which shouldn't be a surprise since he was a genius scientist in his previous life. Even though hand written materials were rare he was provided with all of them. And being the son of the Village's only Master Blacksmith, he had privileges.
The map had detailed information about the different beasts that villagers hunted in the forest and the seas. Going through the information surprised Tianshang Long more than ever. According to the information the creatures in this world were different than on planet Earth. He wanted to know more about the life forms in this world so he went out of good room to ask his parents.
Tianshang Yixing and Tianshang Ling were sitting in the living room discussing something in hushed tones. Seeing Tianshang Long coming in with the map in his hand they stopped. He sat down opposite to them and was about to ask if there was any book about the animals and plants in this world, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Sighing, Tianshang Long got up to open the door. Two girls around the same age as Tianshang Long rushed into the house, giggling as the door opened. looking at them he sighed again though a slight smile appeared on his face.
They were covered in dirt and both of them as if by some agreement came to either side of Tianshang Long and held both of his arms.
Ming Yue was older than the siblings by 3 months so she was slightly taller than Tianshang Long, she had beautiful blue eyes with long blue hair. Tianshang Fenghuang was the same height as Tianshang Long and had beautiful red hair.
Looking at each they laughed and they both rubbed their hands which were covered in dirt on Tianshang Long's hair.
Ming Yue in her childish voice tried to be bossy and said to Tianshang Long, "Is this how you greet your boss?"
Irritated Tianshang Long said, "You are not my boss."
Though he tried to sound intimidating but the childish voice made it sound like he was grumbling.
This pissed off Tianshang Long a lot.
"Is this how you greet you elder sister?" asked Tianshang Fenghuang in a sweet voice.
Looking at his sister his irritated expression vanished and he smiled and said in a low voice, "Welcome back sis."
Ming Yue seeing this felt ignored and she pouted. She hmphed cutely and detached herself from Tianshang Long and greeted his parents. Tianshang Ling came over picked the two girls and pinched their nose and said in loving voice, "You two little girls always bullying your younger brother."
The girls giggled once again as Tianshang Long took them to the bathroom. Turning around she asks Tianshang Long, "Long'er your hair is dirty. I'll set up the bath, you three can clean up together."
Hearing this Tianshang Long was traumatized. He remembered a year when the same thing happened and Grandma Ming came to know about this, the look that she gave him made him feel that if this happens again he would be dead and no body would remember anything.
He shook his head and said hastily, "I'll take a bath later."
"Smart boy", a voice rang out in his mind.
Hearing this he shivered with fear and turned around to find Grandma Ming standing behind him. She looked the same ancient last with a kind look on her face. He bowed to her immediately and invited her in. Seeing her both Tianshang Yixing and Tianshang Ling greeted her with a bow. Grandma Ming replied with a note of her head and indicated to Tianshang Long to stay.
Everyone was sitting in the living room. Grandma Ming alone, Tianshang Ling had both the girls in her arms and Tianshang Long was sitting next to his father.
Looking at the girls lovingly, Grandma Ming said in a serious voice, "Feng'er has the Sacred Phoenix Body. Her future is immeasurable. I'll be her Master till her Awakening. After that I know someone who's as strong as me, who will be a perfect teacher for her. Their training will start in 15 days, I'll take Feng'er and Yue'er with me to train. We will return once after they turn 5 years old and then before their Awakening."
Hearing this both Tianshang Yixing and Tianshang Ling were shocked and then an expression of extreme joy and excitement filled their faces. They both got up bowed to Grandma's Ming and Tianshang Yixing said, "It is Feng'er's blessing to have met you."
Tianshang Long felt happy for his sister though he did not understand what was going on.
The two girls were confused but after hearing that they will be together in the future they started to laugh and fool around.
"Your elder sister has a bright future and she will surely leave the village. Also of you are weak and find yourself in trouble she'll surely rush to help you. But are you going to depend on your elder sister?" a voice echoed in Tianshang Long's mind.
