'You may sit under the world tree in order to fathom the majority of its secrets and only then shall you be worthy to be respected and treated as an individual of nobility for now because you are too weak . 'lf you are able to comprehend what ought to be comprehended you have achieved your goal and you shall obtain a part of the inheritance but that does not mean that all of the trials are over because until you reach the absolute trial only then shall you be worthy of being called 'Master'. Hearing this his body twitched as he blurted out. 'So this is not the last time l will come here', Ray asked with a crestfallen face. The tiger smiled and nodded before saying 'Are you ready for the fifth trial young lad', he asked in his deep voice that would cause terror to his enemies. Ray nodded because he was more than ready for it. Before he sat down he remembered what he had been told by the beautiful Phoenix concerning the fifth trial's test that was meant to test one's will, spirit and soul. He sat down under the tree and like Buddha under the Bodhi tree he closed his eyes as he sat in a lotus position. He saw many things to say the least, he really did. He was studying on what pain, suffering, peril, peace and despair were along with what caused these things. lt felt like he was another person who wanted to kill himself because he did not want to suffer anymore because of this unjust world that had taken away his loved ones and if he came with answers to the questions concerning suffering and fathomed it he would be proclaimed the winner of that mini trial for the time being. He had to overcome it because he would feel the emotions that he had to feel if he was in that kind of dilemma or we can say because he was in that kind of dilemma because it would be him trying to understand these things and he would feel the pressure exerted by these concepts within his spirit and soul and had to keep his will striving so that he would not lose himself. There were countless times when he lost himself and started to feel himself suffering excruciating pain and unless he achieved what he was obligated to do he had failed very much more than ever.
His body would start shaking as he shivered continuously. The others except for the tiger were worried for him because he had been shaking for a while until his body stopped moving and they could no longer feel his heartbeat, spirit and soul hence they thought that he was dead, zombefied. 'Senior is he ?'.... 'No sir Waltzberg he is quite a remarkable young man
,he has passed the test. At that moment Ray opened his eyes and within them there was an understanding of something that he had not known for many years, a hidden mystery he had fathomed and wisdom he had attained to a certain degree of glory and complete magnificence. 'Congratulations you have passed', the tiger said before he continued and for now we can say you passed the first set of trials kiddo', he bellowed yet again. The Vermillion birds seeing this prostrated before the young lad who seemed to have been distracted by something that was in his mind. There was a time when he was comprehending despair and the person who had lost a beloved one whom he depended on and was his sole purpose of leaving was taken away from him by the hands of death. This person was like him but they were a bit different because he believed that his uncle was still alive and this was what kept him vitalised and going on .In the end he won that trial in particular. 'Senior how many trials am l left with?', he asked. 'You are left with six sets of trials that are divided in fives like this one and explore the 200 mountains in this place'. Ray nodded before he froze and said in shock '200'.
The tiger nodded and said 'Along with the Golden palace where you will receive the full inheritance in the end'. Ray's world crumbled 'So l was right, this is part of their depopulation agenda it must be it', thought Ray. 'Do you have questions young one', he asked. Ray nodded because he had many questions. 'Senior l came here through an Amulet that was given to me by my dead father and mother eleven years ago and they seemed to have told my uncle who went missing a little over a year ago'. 'An amulet is that so', he asked. The lad nodded. The tiger did not utter a single word for a few seconds since it seemed like it was thinking about an event that happened a long time ago. 'l do not know how your parents got the Amulet in their hands but all l can say is that an ancestor from your family's side might have received it from The Forger himself since he is the one who made it or he gave it to his servants who passed it to one of your ancestors or something else but it was not a coincidence you were destined to have it since you are here now', the Tiger told Ray.
'Who is this Forger and what is he', asked Ray. The tiger answered in reverence he is a divine, a deity, the first forger the one who is beyond what you think and though not powerful than the lmmortal phoenix they were of the same grade', he said. Ray was astonished by what he heard from the flaming tiger that was referred to as Sir Effervescent. The Forger was a powerful being with terrifying power since the deity was the one who forged the Amulet but he started being bothered by something. 'Why was the amulet made?', he asked him but the tiger looked at him and said 'You will discover it as you explore this domain', he said. Ray knew that if he tried to ask pertaining that information for now it will be to no avail since he was not told why the amulet was made. Although the question was still in his mind he knew he could not do anything about it so he asked a different one instead and this was one of the most important questions that were racking his mind in a terrible way.
