In the bottom of the cauldron Caleb sat there floating wistfully, long having grown numb to the pain of the poison invading his body he didn"t mind the process. He was eagerly awaiting the unsealing of the cauldron as the awaited five years was up.

Old Fox, was whistling happily as he was finally able to if that boy was still alive after being sealed for five years in the cauldron. As he arrived to the broken down shack the liquid in the cauldron has been turned clear an a small child could be seen floating inside. No expression could be seen on the child"s face but within depths of his dark pupils you can see excitement.

Activating the hand signals the seals of the cauldron, the seal was released and out clambered a small child with a headful of dark hair mixed with purple strands, accompanied by pale face and body that is evenly built.

After being released from the cauldron Caleb crawled out immediately and the first thing he saw was an old man with a hunched back and a head full of white hair, and a pair of bright purple pupils, he could feel an aura of death surrounding the old man, but also a feeling of kinship as this is the man who rescued him.

A short amount of time and silence pa.s.sed before Caleb kneeled on one leg and says "Disciple greets Master"

At first Old Fox is shocked at the rapid exchange between them but a smile soon comes to his face as he cups his hands and says "Master greets Disciple".

But like everything in life the sweetest moments are always short, the smile soon vanishes from Old Fox"s face and a ruthless expression appears as he looks at Caleb and the harsh future of training he has ahead of him.

"First thing at hand it"s time to continue your training, as your Myriad Poison Body isn"t complete you"re missing the last vital ingredient, the 1000th poison to be your last" lectured Old Fox said.

And with a flap of his cloak they vanish from the shack and appear in the dark desolate woods outside of the city boundaries.
