Legend of the Forgotten Eminence

Emergence

______________________________________

Many many years before the Great war.

In a quiet village of Midgar, A certain mob kid is trying his best to blend in the backround as much as possible.

Learning how to read like a kid and trying to pronouncing difficult words as any normal kid, Cid seemingly living ordinary life but he is anything but ordinary.

He is someone who have a dream to come true, even from his past life he possessed insatiable thirst for power and his imagination to painted the world in shades of shadow...

It was a bright day, Cid who is trying to explore the forest surrounding the village after sneaking off the Baron Household.

He had always been facinated by scent of the woods and the mystery of the forest, he arrived to his location where a small abandoned wooden hut can be found hidden in the forest.

This is the location where he can train  in secret, honing his mind and body, He practices diligently, swinging his wooden sword with precision and elegance. He was able to fuze all kinds of martial arts in my past life and optimize them.

After he is done practicing, he headed to cliff he once saw when he was still exploring the forest.

4 year old Cid practicing his poses on a cliff and practicing his many cringe lines while looking down at the Baron Kagenou's Domain

"(It's been 4 years since my reincarnation, I have no idea or how it happened but i can finally see and feel magic energy that's all that matters.)"

Thinking to himself while still posing dramatically

"(But alas i can finally reach it, My dreams to come true! But in order to reach that... I NEED MORE POWER...)"

To become a master who could manipulate the world unseen. His fantasies were fueled by the stories he read, tales of ancient warriors and legendary mages..

Cid's Ambition is far from just mere daydream, even in the young age of 4, he had began his journey, under the beautiful night, he would sneak out of his home and explore the outskirts of the Mist forest he had heard so much about.

A place where the deadly mist and its dangerous creature resides.

"(This is where the true training starts)"

He thought, while scanning the area in the dark while wearing a paper bag with two holes on it.

Just outside of the forest, bnadits set their camps, Believing they are safe from the guards and the mist.

Cid saw bandits as not a threat but an opportunities, he would stalk them silently and studying their movements before striking them with precision.

The bandits are unaware of the Young Cid all fell to his swifts and silent attacks.

Cid will then steal all of their belongings, using the supplies and tools for his training.

"(These bandits, they think it's safe out here.)"

All the time he was sneaking out of his house are nothing more than just training in stealth and combat, but they were experiments. He seek to understand the magic and to improve his own magic by using Dead bandits and the creatures who adapted to the Deadly mist. He then bring them back to his abandoned hut where he can experiment them in peace...and in pieces...

"So much to learn about their mistakes... And their bodies..." He murmur under his breath

He would examine the bodies trying to uncover the secrets of magic if they can still remain if the host died. To further his magic and power, The animals too, he ised their bodies to provide him insights on how they adapted to the Mist who were Absorbing the mist properties.
