"Little Mei, why are you standing in the rain by the window side?"
The youth was a burly, slightly taller than average young man.
His face resembled the clan leader's features greatly.
As Ziur Mei turned her head to look at this young man, a complicated look flickered across her face.
"It's you huh, my big brother"
She raised her eyebrows, her expression returning to that of a cold indifference.
Ziur Bai lowered his head and looked at his own feet, this was his general stance when confronting this little girl.
" I saw that little Mei room's light was still not extinguished , so I thought I'd come in here and do it for you. Tomorrow is the Soul Stealing Ceremony, It's so late and you haven't gone to bed yet. If your father knew he would be worried ."
Ziur Bai was not surprised at his little cousin coldness. Ever since they were children she had always been like this.
"Worried…" At the thought of her father, Ziur Mei laughed lightly.
In the name of the clan, her father had invested all of his resources in Ziur Bai, his brother's only son, leaving Ziur Mei to feed for herself.
Things only got worse when her cousin showed his talent, leaving her even more behind in terms of importance.
Tomorrow will be the day where everything will finally come to and end, the Soul Stealing Ceremony would be the final act, whoever failed to make a contract with a demon would be banished from the clan.
The Ziur clan was a summoner clan, they would recall the souls of the dead warriors from the underworld, enslave them and use them when fighting.
Those souls would be called demons, of course not all of them had the same strength, they were differentiated by the color of their horns.
Black was the strongest, White Purple and Green were the Upper Mid, Mid and lower Mid realm, Yellow, Red and Blue were the lowest.
The demons that had horns were from the External Barrier, the lowest zone of the underworld.
Above the External Barrier there was the Outer Realm, and above it the Inner Realm!
In the Inner Realm lied the strongest souls of the underworld, the most ferocious demons, nobody in the Gor Desert had ever summoned a demon from the Inner Realm!
As for her… she already knew she would not be able to summon anything special, during her sixteen years of age she had never showed any talent whatsoever.
The strong eat the weak, survival of the fittest;
These were the rules of the desert.
Everyone has dreams, everyone is always struggling to obtain opportunities, Ziur Bai, an orphan managed to change his destiny thanks to his overwhelming talent, as for her, her goal was to simply obtain at least a blue horned demon to not get banished.
"You can leave, I will go to sleep right now."
Ziur Bai heart shook as he felt like his cousin's eyes were sharp like a fierce blade, seemingly cutting trough the deepest parts of his heart.
Under such gaze, he felt guilty and uncomfortable, just like a naked rabbit in the middle of the snow.
"Then, until tomorrow, I wish you good luck little Mei."
Not daring to say anymore, Ziur Bai closed the door and left.
