*I was only expecting 20-30 chapters for volume 1 but at the pace this story is going, I will have to do multiple time skips until Volume two as the story doesnt actually start until volume 2*
Sera and Saffiyah had a pretty long talk that evening while Ash learned about sweets. The very next morning, Saffiyah bid her farewells to her sister and She and Ash set off back to their home village. This time around, Ash didn't fall overboard but enjoyed some treats her aunt Sera had made for her. When they arrived back at their home, Saffiyah focused on training Ash's mana control and capacity. Ash wouldn't be reading the two cultivation books her mother bought for her until she reached the age of 5. This would continue until Maxim and Aaron returned, from then on Aaron and Ash would train their mana, in the later hours however Aaron would train with his father. This would teach both Ash and Grim a lot of things while continuously improving.
A couple of months later the array master would arrive, fixing both Ash and Aarons room. They both would stay cooped up and meditating most of the time as physical training was very stressful for the young Aaron while Ash was way too young to try and improve her physical abilities. This would continue while Maxim would regularly go out hunting in order to support his bigger family. Saffiyah would teach her kids while cultivating herself. She also got into gardening and would plant edible plants and magic herbs for potions and crafting.
As time flew, it became Ash's 5th birthday.
