The Beast Of Men

Chapter 1

In CrestMoon kingdom at the age of 15, children of the 12 Noble families take their children to the capital to get a classification on what powers their children will have. Elijah Pride is the first born son of the heir to the Pride Clan. The same year he was born was also the same year his family gained nobility; his grandfather was a war hero which gave them their status. The Beastmen lion race haven’t been in a position of power for the past 150 years. Elijah's family has been carrying the pride of their race on their backs. When Elijah was born, they thought that they had finally broken their generational curse. When a child turns the age of 13 they have their first transformation into a beastmen usually the family can tell how strong the child will be with their first transformation. There are two transformations a Beastmen can do:

Beastmen( Humanoid )and Complete beast( more animal-like). The child never reaches the complete beast because their willpower isn’t high enough yet. But when Elijah turned 13 he transformed into his complete beast lion form and stayed that way for 3 days straight. Which is one day shy of never turning human again. At daybreak , noon and sunset Elijah lost control but he didn’t turn into a beastmen he would turn into a complete beast lion. His family feared for his life because in Crescentmoon Kingdom simply turning into a beastmen outside of your territory is 100 lashes. Turning into a complete beast is punishable by death and killed on site. So his father did the only thing he could which was put an enchantment on his back which prevented him from transforming at all. Which left a huge tattoo on Elijah’s back . Every time the Sun rose , every high noon, and a very Sunset Elijah felt unbearable pain. But these last 2 years he has gotten used to it. The festival of the moon is getting ready to start and this year is the beginning of the next generation. The King of Crescent moon has also produced an heir that will be a part of the festival; his first born son is the same age as Elijah. Xander Moonlight the heir to the throne the baby that started a generation they say. Once the King knew he was having a Son he ordered that all of the heads of the Noble families produce one as well. Although some already had heirs they still had to do so. Elijah’s mother was already 3 months pregnant with him so they all just played along. As the festival is getting ready to start the King is basically bragging about his son for 15 min and then explains what the Stone black tablet does. Although Elijah's family were Nobility they still weren’t as wealthy as the other families so of the 12 families his was last. The black stone tablet was enchanted; it could tell the class of any race and their current Willpower level,spirit power and strength level. Spirit-power is your “magic”power pool. The High priest started the coronation. “Xander Moonlight stepped forward to the tablet and put your spirit energy into”. said the high priest. So that’s him.Elijah thought to himself. This is the first time Elijah is seeing him. Silver White hair which is family trademark with those blue eyes he’s without a doubt a wolf beastmen. As soon as Xavier put his spiritual energy into the tablet, it projected his states into the air with his class which read

The crowd went wild and they started cheering” long live the Moonlight family.” All the Moonlight family held their head high and proud. The second person to come to the stone tablet surprised Elijah. The high priest called out Misty Moonlight apparently she was the first cousin of Xander and part of the moonlight family she had Snow White hair but her eyes were red most people would have thought that she was evil looking but Elijah thought only of cherries which his mother gave him while he was in his complete beast form. She Was definitely a beauty. When Misty put her spirit energy into the tablet the projection read

Once again the crowd cheers for the Moonlight family. My father said “It must be nice to just be born into wealth and power not to mention luck ”. Elijah started to think that too like (“wow what are the Odds that the heir to the throne would be an Ark paladin just like his father.”) But Elijah’s grandfather shut his father down “hush before are young ones here your foolishness” then he looked directly at Elijah and said “listen here son you are only bound by the limitation of your own imagination. But A dream without action is simply a wish.” I guess your knuckle headed father forgot what I taught him over the years”. My father actually started to look embarrassed. Elijah believed every word his grandfather had said after all he brought the Pride back to the Pride family and he wanted to do the same as well. The High Priest continued,” Klaus NineTails please step forward to the tablet.” Ninetails are the 3rd most powerful clan of Crescent moon kingdom. Ninetails!? ”They are fox beastmen right?” Elijah said.Yes replied his father “ there power is only second to that of the moonlight family The Gap between the 3rd and 4th nobel family is so big it is terrifying.” Klaus had jet black hair and sharp eyes.Elijah could tell that this guy took everything seriously. Klaus did as the previous two did and the black tablet projection read:

For 10 seconds you could hear a pin drop. The head of the ninetails family stood up in shock, his expresserson read like it was finally there time to rise and rule the kingdom. The crowd really didn't know how to react. No one knew what it meant. One good look at the King you could till that he had some concerns in his eye. Elijah had a talent for reading people. To take control of the situation swiftly the King said “this is a cause for celebration the Ninetails family have produced a worthy rival for my heir.” “Thank you my king”.The head of the Ninetails family said. With an even more proud look in his eyes. As the ceremony went on there weren't that many Nobels that caught Elijah’s eye that he would remember there weren’t a lot of them that had main descendants or even a direct heirs. Just now arriving at the sevenths family when Elijah’s father nudged him and said “I know arranged marriages aren’t really aren’t really a thing here anymore but if anyone would be a perfect match for you and our family it would definitely be them. “Sarai Saber, please approach the tablet,'' said the high priest. Sarai had deep red dawn eyes and with chocolate brown skin and red braids. Without a doubt this was the most beautiful creature Elijah has ever seen.

Chapter 2

Elijah has known about the Saber clan for a while but he never knew of any daughter. The Saber family are Tiger beastmen; they are immigrants in the Crescent moon kingdom; they have been here for only about 10 years. They are cat beastmen like the Pide family so hypothetically their bloodline could workout. The beastmen closest in species share the same class trees so the tiger beastmen and lion beastmen share the same set of abilities . Alana puts her spirit power into the tablet and reads it read.

“Of course she was considered a genius,” Elijah thought to himself. So far it's only been 4 geniuses of this generation. Later on they call more to the stone tablet but none worth remembering till they get to the 10th Nobel position. “Arthur Savage, please approach the tablet,'' said the high priest. Savage's name is tied into the Hyena Tribe; the Pride family have a long history with them that goes back even further than the kingdom itself. Loki did like what the others did and the black tablet read.

The hyena tribe falls under the Wolves class sets, they don't have to, they choose to. They can really fall under the foxes as well my grandfather says it's so they can oppress us just like the wolves do. The name that is called right before Elijah’s is Jason Shortfang. “Approach”. said the high priest. At this time Elijah is already at the pedestal and Hecan feel eyes on him from every corner. Then out of no wear He hears a loud cheer from the crowd. He looked up and saw that the projection read

The Coyote tribe no Surprise on the rogue class but Spector he’ll definitely be protecting the royal bloodline personally. You definitely could hear his family cherrying the loudest. Now the moment of truth. “Elijah Pride approached the tablet.” Said the Prist. Elijah could feel the eyes of the whole kingdom on him and that of my fathers and grandfathers. He knew the class everyone is expecting me to have and wants me to have. The family thinks He’s a well waited Warlord because of his first transformation. Elijah puts his spirit power into the tablet and feels the weight of his entire culture and people on my back. The Tablet read.

At first it read Void Anubis then it quickly changed to just Anubis. Void wasn’t a bad class but Anubis? Elijah's family hasn’t seen that Subclass since his grandfather was a child. Elijah could feel the disappointment in the air and the proud faces of the high nobility,not surprised by the outcome. Which pissed him off. While he was headed back He couldn't even make eye contact with any of my family members. He would have definitely broken out in tears if he did. Elijah has lived through amazing physical pain with his transformation and his tattoo seal but there was nothing more painful than him disappointing his family. “This concludes the Ceremony,'' said the Priest. “We will now announce this generation’s geniuses. Xander Moonlight , Misty Moonlight, Klaus Ninetails , Sarai Saber and Elijah Pride”. My family was confused at first and then started cheering. Elijah started to have tears in his eyes. He thought He had no potential but I guess the priests saw something in him that He didn't. The high ranking nobles started muttering about Elijah's name being called even the King himself Intervened. ”High Priest, all four names you said all make sense but the last one I don’t understand. Said the King. Elijah never really thought the king had even thought of our family before but maybe he just thinks I’m not worthy to be called a genius like his son. The high priest Stopped the mutting and said. “Your majesty while none of the Boys base states are extraordinary his willpower is far beyond any of his peers that means he has the most potential of all of them.” The crowd and the high nobility grew quiet and Elijah could see the King's expression that he was worried ,though it was brief. “Understand?” the high priest said. Then Elijah saw the king make eye contact with his grandfather like they were going to duel right then and there. As everyone is taking their leave a group of high nobles walk past Elijah and his family with their noses up amongst them was the second Moonlight family. Among them one got his attention was Misty Moonlight the first daughter she made eye high contact with Elijah winked giggled and just walked away with the rest of them. Both Elijah’s father and grandfather looked at him like he was supposed to explain that. “Do you know who that is?” Elijah’s father asked. Before He could even answer his grandfather said “It doesn't matter you need to stay away from that girl. Everything we have worked for can be destroyed in one night if anyone knew you had any relations with her“. Truth be told she was alright looking but she wasn’t my type Elijah thought.

Chapter 3

As we’re heading to our clan Elijah father said. “I know you weren’t happy with the class you got today but just know that I’m proud of you no matter what and hey you're a genius I wonder where you got that from”. “I am too”. said Grandfather. “In fact I want to have a feast tonight and celebrate. Also I would like to talk to you later about your class. It may not be as useless as you think”. (And of course, I clearly thought that) Elijah thought to himself. My father is A Zulu Ougun (Warrior)and my grandfather is a Pride Qugun (Warrior). (“I don’t even know how I ended up with the Anubis class, these genes are definitely not on my side.” Elijah thought. (“Even me physically I wasn’t as strong as a typical lion beastmen my age.”) It never bothered Elijah though, as a lion you're supposed to be strong but he never thought of it as only a physical thing. They finally arrived at their clan's territory and were greeted by the rest of their clan. The first one that approached was Elijah’s little brother Isaiah but to call him that was an understatement. He's a lot bigger that Elijah with locs that go down to his shoulders. “So? What class did you get? Isaiah asked with excitement in his eyes. Elijah could see the rest of he’s clansmen in the background waiting to hear as well. With some regret in his voice he said Anubis and he could see the disappointment on their faces all but his brothers. “That my brother for you, the wildcard.” Isaiah said. “Elijah is one of the 5 geniuses in his generation and the high priest said he had the most potential of all of them even over the King's heir”. Elijah’s father said. He added that last part himself and then all of my clansmen cheered. Elijah saw his mother in the distance crying with excitement for him. While we’re all in the middle of town eating and having a good time my grandfather took me to the side and said. “Elijah, did you notice the change in the tablet when the project first came up?” Asked his Grandfather. “Yes,” Elijah said, sounding annoyed. “I thought I got the Void subclass for a second.” “But then I thought you can’t have two different subclasses,'' He said jokingly. “You actually can” Elijah’s grandfather said with a serious face. Elijah started to laugh till he realized his grandfather wasn’t.”Wait, are you serious”. he says? “How is that even possible to wield 2 completely different classes?” “It’s very rare nowadays, at this point it’s unheard of but 300 years ago it wasn’t common but it was heard of” Elijah’s grandfather replied. “Elijah, he looks him straight in his eyes, the stone tablet does not lie you have great powers within you that could change the nation, possibly all of Pangea itself.” When he said that Elijah felt like it was a bit of a stretch. “I mean I can’t even currently turn into a beastmen and the Void class ( Infiltrator) is strong but Anubis I literally haven’t heard any of them doing anything amazing.” Elijah thought. “You must never let anyone see you practice your shadow powers , don’t even try to tap into it once at the Crescent Moon Academy.” Elijah's Grandfather said with a serious face. Elijah thought to himself.“Oh yea this is the first time a lion beastmen will attend as nobility”. “But why grandfather? Shouldn’t I embrace this power?” “Of course he said but if the Moonlight family sees you using both they without a doubt kill you.” “Not only are you a genius but you hold 2 different classes there already afraid of your potential as it is. “You're a lion beastmen at that.” Elijah never really grasped the full picture of all of it but he was really excited because he wanted to be strong for his clan and protect them. “I understand grandfather, Elijah says. “Please do, you are the most valuable member of our clan right now”. I’m sorry that I won’t be of much help on getting you stronger but I can point you in the right direction when it comes to understanding your abilities”. Grandfather said. “Elder Marcus is an Anubis Mystic and he will help you understand the class and its abilities.” Elijah started to make a face. “You mean the elder that is always talking to himself?” Elijah replied. Grandfather says yes while laughing. “But he is very wise.” “Elijah don’t look down on him”. Elijah and his Grandfather went back to the festival and enjoyed the rest of their night. Early that morning Elijah headed to a little outside of town to meet Elder Marcus.
