The very next day was the arranged burial of mr Droman,and coincidently it was a rainy day.
When the news of mr Droman death reached Elias sisters,they were devastated,he was as much a father to them as he was to Elias,there were little when he took them in but to they still saw him as the only parental figure they ever knew,currently at the cemetery Elias was about to give he's speech and present at the burial was Aedric,Tony who was the captain of the city guard and he was also one of the closest friends mr Droman had,he was the one who also helped settle the case when Elias was to be arrested back then and a few regular customers where also present it was a small crowd,but the true story of the death of mr Droman,couldn't be disclosed if not it would complicate things as it was directly linked to the fact Elias was now a heritage holder,and such information could not be openly disclosed as it stands the only people aware of the true cause of he's death was the killer Austin,who was currently in custody,the guards present at that who were instructed not to speak by Aedric and finally Aedric and Elias,Elias sisters were left in the dark as both Elias and Aedric thought it best they were not aware of the events on that took place on that day,even the fact that Elias was now a heritage holder was also hidden and to everyone else,Aedric was an old friend of Droman and he took it upon himself to help Elias and he's sisters,he also thought it best to leave the city to look for better opportunities for all of them. As far as I can remember he was a father to me,he didn't know about much or talk about much,but he was passionate about what he loved doing and that was creating,and not only did he create weapons he created a home for me and my sisters,he created a life were we could be comfortable,I really won't take much of your time but as we say goodbye to gramps,he will truly never be gone may the fire of he's forge burn within us forever,Elias said as he exited the stage as they all gathered round the grave as was being lowered,thank you gramps,Elias thought with a smile as he looked at the coffin being burried. It's going to be ok kid,if you ever need anything at all,don't hesitate to come to me you were a son to Droman and I will take you as mine,Tony said as he left and slowly everyone left,leaving Elias,he's sisters and Aedric,brother are we going to be ok now that gramps is gone?, Celia said as she held onto Elias,lifting her up Elias said,of course Celia we are going to be perfectly fine,don't worry about anything,big brother will make sure of it,what about gramps will he be fine?,Elias just smiled as he ruffled her hair,he is very fine and I am sure he would not want you to be sad,really? ,yes really now I want you to go with that uncle over there,we have a long trip to prepare for so you need to go get some things and pack, ok then but why are you not coming with?,I have to talk with gramps friend over there,but I will be right behind you,okk,Ceclia said with a big smile as she went towards one of the Talon family guards,how could the family of that sick entitled brat want to help us,Aria asked with a cold face,he was one of gramps old friends Aria he's just lending a hand,you can decive Celia but you can't decive me Elias,something is not right about gramps death and it better not be what I am thinking Elias,Aria said as she looked at Aedric,or I will never forgive you,Aria said as she followed the guard with Celia as they left leaving only Elias and Aedric,she's a strong girl, Aedric said as he stood beside Elias,she really is i just hope she comes to terms with what has happened,she will eventually but in the mean time we have much to talk about,Aedric said as him and Elias sat on one of the benches in the cemetery,so Elias how much do you know about the cultivation path,Aedric asked, I don't know much i only know that everyone is born with a spark and your spark potential ranging from D,C,B,A and S determines how far you can reach on the path of cultivation,I was born with a D rank potential so I did not bother much about cultivation knowledge,Elias said, good at least you know the basics now allow me to explain better,there are a total of 9 stages on the path of cultivation with each being sub divided into 3, initial,middle and peak,the spark is not classified as a stage but rather a starting point everyone has,the path starts from the Ember stage,where you awaken your spark and create a mana core,it will not be hard to achieve with you potential,but it is a very delicate stage as a mistake in the core could destroy your foundation,the next stage the Flame stage is a body strengthening stage where both the external and internal parts of body are enchanced with mana,it is from this stage vitality increases and your life span increases as so,the Inferno stage takes the mana in your core and allows you to manifest it and control at will but it manifestation of mana drains your core and because of that you are required to expand your core size and from the next stage is where you will find current heritage holders,the Cataclysmic stage where you will be made to create 2 cores but not only will you be able to use the mana in your cores but also the mana around you the world mana,this stage where all out battles are not allowed around citizens because those are this stage can likely be compared to natural disasters,the next stage the Corona, people in this stage can very well destroy continents when they battle,you notice the huge power gap between Corona and cataclysm,that's because those at the Corona has 3 cores with mana mana manipulation reaching levels above that makes the one at the Cataclysm stage look like a joke,and to crown it those at this stage can create a domain where mana supply to the world's mana is cut off for the enemy and you can directly imbude your affinity into the domain making it tailored to the individual,the next stages are the Solaris,Dawn,Solstice and Helion but for you to have any knowledge about those you should at least be in Corona,but just as we have cultivation the dimensional beasts have their own power system,but we group them into categories 1 to 10 with stage 1 being on the same level as the Ember stage and it goes on like that for category 10 just pray that in your time you never encounter anything like that because if you do all you can do is hope you die fast,be aware those dimensional beasts are way stronger than us,you can barely take a dimensional beasts at the same stage with you in a 1 on 1 with expection to some special cases and heritage holders like you and finally the ranks of weapons they are categorised into 5 starting from the bottom Delta,Gamma,Beta,Alpha and omega, but i guess you should know the weapons ranks i am aware you and mr Droman made a lot of high level Delta rank weapons,so did you get all of that?, Yeah I did but from what you have said I am very much behind the other heritage holders will I be able to catch up?, fear not Elias if you are willing to put in the hard work and topped with your potential you will eventually catch up and with your increasing vitality with every stage you should have the time you need,I will do my best,Elias said with a determined face,but if I may ask if you know about the stages above Corona that mean....,correct Elias yes I am in the Corona stage and I actually just recently achieved that stage,....Elias face was currently as pale as white could be,this man sitting next to him could cause a destruction of cities,he was basically sitting next to a volcano but he calmed down and stood up as he said,let us not waste anymore time,let us leave for Sky city as soon as possible,I have to start cultivation immediately,seeing he's determined face Aedric smiled and thought,it is rare to see such dedication i hope you will still have a strong will to face what is to come.
