ARTHUR PENDRAGON

ALTERIA one of the kingdom in the continent of MIDGARD. A growing kingdom that crowded of many merchant that come from many other kingdom and region. A pot that full of many culture and races.

From the bustling street full of merchant shouting their merchandise trying to attract everyone attention, a girl with a ponytail running agile passing through.

After passing through the bustling street, at the corner of the city, a monument is erected. A tall white monument that has many name written. At the end of the monument written:

"FOR ALL THE BRAVE MAN AND WOMAN THAT HAVE FALLEN PROTECTING ALTERIA"

In front of the monument stood a young boy with a blue eyes and black hair. With a wooden sword in his waist. An old wooden sword with chipped pieces here and there.

"ARTHURRR!!!"

From far away a shout startle Arthur, as he turn away to look whose sound is that calling him. A pair of shoes already in front of him. BUMP!!!

"Llana, my face is not your target practice." as those two laying on the ground. Arthur sigh at his childhood friend behavior.

"Granma Clara is looking for you. You can't running of training Arthur, coming of age ceremony is going take place tomorrow you know."

"I know, i know. I just came here to see grandpa."

"I'm sure Arthur gonna get strong Soul Beast like grandpa Regis."

Say Llana trying to cheer Arthur.

"Yeah. I'm gonna get a strong Soul Beast, join Knight of Alteria, then become a hero like Gramps. I swear in the name of house Pendragon."

Arthur point his wooden sword to the sky, with a eye full of conviction. He swear as the last of House of Pendragon.

Arthur and Llana going back to their home to continue training with grandma Clara. As those two open the door. BAM!!! A burst of water sweep Arthur outside of the house.

"Llana... why your family always aim at my face." as he lay on the ground in pool of water.

"Where the hell are you run off this time brat."

That voice is coming from inside the house. An old lady with blue hair sitting in the chair waiting for those two. Behind her a giant Snake with a body of water is standing with it forked tongue flicker.

"HEBIII."

Llana happly running toward those giant water snake, as those two play together. Grandma Clara walk toward Arthur that covered in mud.

"Stand up Arthur. Tomorrow you and Llana going to coming of age ceremony. Whatever the result of the ceremony is gonna affect your future. Now tell me, what is a Soul Beast?"

Clara point his wooden rod in front of Arthur face.

"Soul Beast is a fragment of our soul in the shape of the animal that match our personality and behavior."

"Correct. And what is the categories of those Soul Beast."

Ask Clara, as she use her rod to tell Arthur to stand up.

"Every Soul Beast categorize by it's size, from the small, medium, large like Grandma Clara Hebi, and Giant one that can be the size of house even a castle." Answer Arthur as he clean the mud from his body.

"Correct. And every Soul Beast is bound by it's own element. Fire Soul Beast that can burn everything in front of you, a Water Soul Beast that can sweep all their enemy by torrent of water, a Earth Soul Beast that can move a mountain and shake the ground, and a Wind Soul Beast that can fly in the sky."

This time Grandma Clara tap Arthur wooden sword with his rod, and taking a battle stance.

"And what's is the thing that determine how strong your Soul Beast gonna be Arthur ?"

Arthur take his wooden sword and taking his battle stance.

"A STRONG SOUL!"

As he answer Grandma Clara question he jump into her. Already anticipating Arthur move Grandma Clara guard those attack with his rod. Every swings of Arthur sword is easly deflected.

Arthur swing and movement is not like a 15 years old boy. Those are the movement of a warrior that have endure many years of training since he was a little boy.

But his opponent is Grandma Clara, ex-Commander of Alteria Knight. A Knight that has many share of battle, and defeating many opponent.

"It's your conviction juts like this ?"

Says Grandma Clara yawning, as she dodge Arthur swings, trying to taunt Arthur.

Hearing that, Arthur lose his patience and as soon he saw and opening he plunge to attack the right side of Grandma Clara.

Grandma Clara grind as that boy take the bait. As she block the attack, she put his right leg, behind Arthur right leg. With a small push from Grandma Clara, Arthur leg tangle, and he lost he balance.

And by the flicker of fingers at his forehead, Arthur fall into the muddy ground.

Grandma Clara point his rod into Arthur face.

"A knight must not lose his patience. A stupid decision in a war can make you die a stupid death."

"Tomorrow you going to take the ceremony. Where a fragment of your soul going to take shape of a Soul Beast. Whatever size and element of your Soul Beast, you who aim to become a knight of Alteria like your Grandpa, must train your body and soul. And use that power not only to slay our enemy, but to protect our people."

"Don't bully Arthur Grandmaa...."

From inside the house Llana and Hebi watching Grandma Clara kick Arthur ass.

"Hahahaha...don't worry Llana, I'm just preparing Arthur for the ceremony tomorrow. Arthur, whatever happen tomorrow, just remember the path you must take." as she walk to the house.

"Grandma...thank you for all the thing that you had been teaching me." Arthur bow to Grandma Clara, showing his gratitude for all this time that she been taking care of him, and all training and mentorship to make him a Knight.

"Arthur..." Grandma Clara call him softly, as Arthur slowly raise his head.

BAM!!

A torrent of water from Hebi sweep him.

"Clean your dirty ass, before you come inside the house, Brat."

"GRANDMAA YOU BULLYING ARTHUR AGAINN!!!" shout Llana pouting to her Grandma.

As Arthur laying on the ground. In front of him a vast blue sky can be seen, without a single cloud. He raise his hand, trying to grab the sky.

"Just you wait. Gramps, I'm gonna catch up to you."
