Shiva was quite a lovable child. He brought happiness to the whole sun Dynasty. He had a unique charm that attracted everyone to him and he was crowned the next Emperor of the Sun Dynasty.
He was the genius that had an unparalleled intelligence and curiosity.
He started learning about the world from the age of three. He started his study of art of war, art of literature, art of music, art of politics and the rules and responsibilities of an Emperor. He was quite a fast learner and excelled on every aspect and was the child that every parent desired.
He came to know that sun Dynasty was surrounded by limitless ocean on one side along with huge mountains and other side had two other dynasties Moon Dynasty and Danteluri Dynasty. Dynasties were divided into low , mid and high tiers according to the number of grandmaster they had. Sun and Moon both dynasties had one grandmaster so they were considered mid tier dynasties while Danteluri had 3 grandmaster so it was a peak mid tier level dynasty.
Grandmaster were the supreme mortal beings that had taken the human potential to its limit and were the protectors of their dynasties. Grandmaster Vajra was the well known figure even in the adjacent dynasties. He was the weilder of golden spear.
Shiva was trained by Grandmaster Vajra and Master leynin himself in the art of war. Master Leynin was a swordmaster .
Ranks were devided into soldier, Elites, master and Grandmaster.
Soldiers were the toughest and most disciplined group that worked mostly in large groups.
Elites had trained their body to a next level they could yeild a 200 kg weapon with utmost efficiency.
Masters trained their mind such that their reflex and speed were terrifying.
Grandmasters trained both mind and body and had taken them to their peak state.
Apart from them were healers, scouts, assassins. Empress Padma was the cheif of department of healing. Shiva learnt the subtle art of healing from his mother.
Prime minister Lu Bai was the strategist and the teacher of literature and history for Shiva.
Sun Dynasty was a peaceful Dynasty where they worshipped the life and everyone lived in harmony.
But Moon Dynasty and Sun Dynasty were on opposite sides and constantly on war with each other. Moon Dynasty always had eyes on the resources of the sun Dynasty and they always wanted to conquer the Sun Dynasty. Emperor moon had tried many times but failed every time. Their strength was just comparable to the sun Dynasty but grandmaster Vajra was an undefeated legend. So they always had to face the utter defeat.
Shiva was now 5 years old and his eyes were always filled with intelligence and to curiosity to know the world. He always felt like he was somehow different then other kids of his age. He would sometimes lost himself gazing in the sky. He felt like he could feel the emotions of animals and birds around him. He learnt about many stories of magicians, sages, knights, dragons, god and devils but they were the legends and myth only. No one had seen anyone using magic, no one had seen gods or mythological beast. They were just fairy tales. But he always felt that everything was real and one day he will be able to see a living myth. His comprehention of nature was magical . Sometimes he will lose himself in falling rain, morning sunrise, moonlight. Everything will have a mystical feel to him.

A boy was running in the forest. He wore elegent royal clothing. On his back was a quiver filled with five arrows and he was holding a golden bow in his right hand. He was followed by 5 elites. This was the task given to him by his father to hone his skill in war. He was steady and calm . He stopped and climbed on a nearby tree. His breathing was very slow like he was one with the nature and waiting patiently for the prey to come. After waiting for about one hour there was movement in the forest there he saw a white tiger drinking water from the river. Tiger was just a child and his eyes were pure blue.
Shiva took out a arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring he stretched the bowstring to the fullest. He was very clam and about to shoot but suddenly the tiger cub turned his head to him. Shiva shivered, he could see the despair in the tiger's eyes like someone loved one has abandoned him. He hand loosened on the bow he couldn't shoot the arrow he saw the happiness in the eyes of the white tiger and the tiger disappeared in the forest.
