**It might be confusing to differentiate which dialogue is from the memory and which is the present Jin Wang's narration so everything in [brackets like these] will be from the memory from now on.**
Jin Wang let out a doleful sigh, recalling a past that he barely even remembered himself.
"That is the only memory I have of the place I was born in. It was called the 'Celestial Seminary' and was home to numerous rare and unique beasts that were hunted for their abilities or body parts. My father was one of the eight protectors of the Seminary and one of the only three to survive the massacre that happened that day."
"In the few history books that might still exist today, this would be known as the beginning of the Desolate Era, the 'Bloodletting'. Every era ended and started with one."
A new memory started playing as soon as he finished.
The next scene started atop the highest tower in a grey city.
