Kapitel 58: URUS - A PATHETIC SOUL.

***In Eclipse of the Oceans, Territory of one of the seven arms of the court which is at a location 7:00clock from the Imperial territory(Centre of the Continent).

Eclipse the Oceans is a massive Continent dominated mostly by humanity(Humans) who make up about seventy percent of the Continent's population. Being a Continent on a planet as massive as Gieă, It has landmarks so vast that each major territory has thousands of other sub-territories in it. Some territories hold within them rivers as big as Oceans, volcanoes expanses, Great Mountains, mines, caves, endless forests of mystic and other arts and wonders of nature and ether.

The Imperial Grounds which is its capital and main territory sits almost squarely at the centre of the Continent while the other seven arms of the Court are spread either around the borders or close to the borders of 5he Continent as they protect and uphold the lines against both external and internal forces.

One of the arms of the court closest to the Imperial Palace is the Coastal Clan lying at (5:00) of the Imperial Palace and right behind the Coastal Clan lies the Outskirts and like a row of walls, behind the Outskirts holds an endless Forest of legends also known as 'Doom to the Lands' forbidden forest which holds an history directly linked to the great prison known as the Outskirts.

The Coastal Clan as a arm of the court has its own level of might, wealth, influence, military and Occupational strenghts with mighty Saint ranked Cultivators at its hem to keep their thousands of subordinate factions in check.

The Coastal Clan as an Arm to the Guman Empire is of course ruled by humans or atleast people with a great amount of the human gene in them but amongst the wide and wild territory of the Coastal Clan, they also host a great population of two more of the seven great races in their midst with these races also holding a decent amount of power and status in their sectors. These two great races are -The aqua race and the Giants race.

There is a massive river bigger than three of Earth's biggest Oceans that stands like a blue line between the Coastal Clan and the Imperial Palace. Eighty percent of this ocean and everything that comes with it belongs to the Imperial family while the remaining twenty percent falls into the territory of the Coastal Clan.

The aqua race mostly reside in this twenty percent of the river and its shores. They are known for their affinity to water and some if them never truly leave the waters throughout a life time.

The giant race also have quite the pull in The territory of the Coastal clan existing mostly in form of hybrids. Finding a true Giant of pure bloodline is rare especially in a social area because Giants are not known to be very social beings.

Unlike what most people would think when they hear the word giant, Giant's aren't born as tall as mountains and as tough as diamonds but instead they grow bigger the more they cultivate their bloodlines.

The true form of a Giant isn't much bigger than that of a human but as they increase in Rank of bloodline Cultivation, they have the potentials to easily dwarf mountains after their grand transformation for battle and because of this, Giants are very feared in battles and they are moving pieces of destruction in their innate forms. Amongst the seven great races, Giants have the least population in numbers because of the low transfer rate of their bloodlines and the fact that they fail to find strenght in unity so finding a stronghold specifically for the Giant race is rare but when you do find one, they come with terrifying might.

The Coastal Clan territory has its rocky peaks for the solitary Giants but most others with connections to the race mingle freely in the territory in their humanoid forms. Amongst this Giants that mingle freely in the Coastal Clan's territory stays an impure hybrid Giant with a pathetic life and story.

His Mother is an impure human-Desolate hybrid and his father who is said to have died in battle is an impure Giant. He has a bit of Giant, human and desolate in him but his three bloodlines do not get along very well.

He is one of those few people that gains backlash from the very world for being born. His bloodlines do not get along in the slightest as the failed to bond fully before fetus development thus bringing about extreme pain as he grows up with one bloodline working to build up his constitution and the other working to tear it down while the last creates a completely different constitution that cannot fit into his physique.

For people like him, everyday is torture and cultivating is nothing but actively begging for death. Once anyone of his three bloodlines become any more powerful, they would tear each other apart alongside his frail body thus giving him a very painful death.

Urus has already accepted his fate at this point in his life. Unless he can by some miracle gain the favour of a high level alchemist or witch then his life would only get worse with each passing day.

Rising up from his bed slowly, Urus eyes were reddened yet they didn't look sleepy instead they just looked tired and not with physical exhaustion but rather with an exhaustion that seems to come from his soul. His numb skin feels as sticky as gum against his bedsheets but he didn't seem to be surprised much as he slowly takes the sheets off his naked body and staggers up to his feet.

A neat wooden floor, a simple but good bed in a wooden frame, two bedside cabinet, a nice and cosy meditation mat at the corner of the room, bright lanterns without candles hanging on the wall and a setting of a full body mirror with a massive cabinet for clothes by its side. The room is a little spacious and its arranged very simply with a dedicated segment for a reading table and chair st a corner.

Urus room is very decent, infact his lifestyle as a sickly non-cultivator he-is is above decent but his life is anything but decent. He is living a life of pain without any visible way out.

He somehow finds the spark of drive to exhaustedly drag his body from his bedside to check out himself in the full body mirror. He has shaved off his hair clean since they kept becoming painful as they weaved with each other. Some parts of his skin were grey pale and dry(desolate) but the other parts looked a shade if normal light brown yet sickly.

One of his eyes iris holds the colour grey but the other one is brown in colour. His ears were a little pointy and his teeth were arranged like that of an aged non-cultivator without any specific patterns with a slightly blueish tongue a little too big hidden behind in his purplish slim lips.

He looked ugly no,.. he looked unholy. His skins seems to have a thin layer of slimy sweat over it and his stomach doesn't have any specific shape with his ribs visible in some segments.

Urus looks at himself in the mirror for a few seconds and then his throat muscles goes up and down in as his gaze holds anger and self-sympathy. Even he feels disgust towards himself!.

*Knock*..*Knock*..*Knock*..

His door is knocked on three times making him to turn his head and crooked back towards it.

*Cough*, A small unwilling cough escapes his throat as he speaks with a cracked and tired voice, ".. Come in".

The wooden door soon slides open after with a woman in casual and simple red robes coming in with a little lowering of her head. Without much expression in her face, she offers her usual greetings, "Good Evening young master Urus..".

Urus looks at the middle aged looking woman who is a normal elf without cultivation as well as his caretaker for a moment before he gives her a small nod.

It seems its already evening. He hasn't exactly been sleeping the entire morning and afternoon but he just couldn't find the motivation to stand up till now.

His care-taker moves in to remove and change his slimy bed sheets while Urus just lifeless moves towards the door and out of the room. He moves through the hallways then into another door that hides a room with dimmer lights and marbled floor.

The bathroom.

There is s a big circular hole in the floor of the room filled with water the reflects the low lighting as petals and leaves floats gently on top of it. It is a tub and the herbs floating on its surface is for his terrible health and skin.

NOTE: (A person is said to be impure when the total concentration of main bloodlines(Human, Dwarves, Elf, Demon, Desolate, Giant, Aqua) in the person's constitution is less than Thirty percent.)
