Both Big One and Big Two looked at me incredulously.
"Brother, you finally did it".
I could see in his eyes that he was genuinely more happy that I manifested my power rather than receiving the Sia cards. But I can tell that they were also really happy to receive the Sia cards.
"And you are giving us these, it's too precious, as far as we know, only royalties have more than one power".
I looked at them and said, " brothers, I have lost my memory and currently in this world I only know you both. We have spent so many days together and I can tell from our interactions and the trainingnyou give me that you genuinely want the best for me. Don't mention it's because I saved your lives, all I did was scream. I truly want you both to have this. Perhaps one day, these two cards can assist you. As for the three of us, we are now brothers. So there is no need for thanks between us unless you treat me as a stranger."
Big two looked at me seriously for a minute and then said, "Since you have said so much, we will not stand on ceremony. We both will accept this precious gift from you. You are right, we three are brothers. If you ever have need for us, just say the word and we will be there for you."
I stretched out my right hand and and asked them to lay their hands over mine. The. I copied a line from the 'three musketeers' and shouted, " All for one and One for all".
Big one and Big Two grinned for a second before they also shouted, "All for one and One for all".
With that past us, I told the brothers to put the cards near their heart. Immediately it got swallowed.
"I can feel another presence in my mind palace next to my earth element". Big one shouted.
I didn't need to tell them how to summon their Huskies. They both instinctively knew how to. At the next moment there were 3 almost identical looking huskies next to each other. The only difference was my Sia is just a tad big bigger than the other but don't get me wrong, the other two were huge too.
I took a look at the huskies the two brothers summoned and their information appeared to me.
Name: Empty
Card Type: Beast,
Loyalty: 100
Bravery: 100
Strength: 10
Agility: 12
Primary Element: Wind
Secondary Element: None
Description:
Born out of love. A Man's best friend. Willing to die for her owner.
Status: Upgrade based on Original

Immediately I understood, since they are already copied, they cannot be copied again. I looked at my Sia to check her stats.
Name: Sia
Card Type: Beast,
Loyalty: 100
Bravery: 100
Strength: 12
Agility: 15
Primary Element: Wind
Secondary Element: None
Description:
Born out of love. A Man's best friend. Willing to die for her owner.
Status: Upgradable
Copies available: 98
Sure enough, the amount of copies left became less. Also I realized that Sia as the original was also slightly more powerful than the other two.
I looked at the brothers who were hugging and petting their Huskies and said. You both should name them.
Big One's naming sense made me test the limits of how much I can hold in my laughter.
He looked at me and asked, "Brother, what do you think? Should I name her 'the greatest dog in the world's or maybe I keep it shorter and name her 'Mightiest Wolfie' since she looks abit like a wolf too?
I almost choked but I controlled myself and said " A shorter name is better and easier for both you and her".
He looked at me for a moment and then said, since you call me Big One, I'll call her Little one. He then looked at the dog he was hugging and said, "from now onwards, you will be called Little one. We will depend on each other here on".
As for Big Two, thank goodness, his name giving was more common and his husky was named Grey.
I then told them both how to teach commands to Little one and Grey. Both dogs including Sia were extremely intelligent and soon they understood all the commands given.
Big two looked at me now and said, "Brother, congratulations. Now you are a Dust stage warrior. You should work hard and quickly level up to the Copper stage".
I then asked, how do I level up?
Big Two replied, " you need to meditate constantly. When u look into your mind palace you will see a speck of dust next to your power. Concentrate and focus on this speck of Dust. As it grows and multiplies you will naturally progress in the Dust stage. When it's time to promote to the Copper stage, you will need to fuse all 9 dust particles into one. When the fusion is complete, you will then be a Copper stage warrior. Take note and do not rush. Grow each speck to it's maximum. That way, you will have a very stable foundation".
I took note of every single word he was saying. I then asked, " Is there no way to speed up the process without harming my foundations".
He replied, yes there are many strange treasures of heaven and earth and alchemy pills can also assist you. But natural treasures of heaven and earth are extremely difficult to come by and if you find one, be quiet about it, otherwise you will be aimed by others and won't even know how you died. The same goes for alchemy, the masters who can concoct alchemy are usually very proud since they are held in extremely high regard by the people. Their pills are not cheap. And take note that there are different grade in alchemy pills. The lowest grade which is also the cheapest one, not only can it assist you but it's drawback is that it will leave in you a sequela which in the long term will make it extremely hard for you to progress. So remember if you do take pills, always do your best to get rid of the sequela.".
Suddenly in this conversation I learned more information about this world. I'm getting even more excited now. Being a history buff, I can't help but thinking, " who knows, maybe I can leave my name in this worlds history". But as soon as that thought came into my head, I immediately dismissed it. Too early I told myself. One step at a time.
Big one then said, " Brother, remember do not expose your ability to draw and give cards to others unless you absolutely trust that person. For everyone else, just say your power is that of a beast tamer. There are tribes and people who specialize in beast taming. Just say you are a wanderer and people can accept that.
"Thank you my brothers" I sincerely said to Big One and Big Two. Not only have they guided me and provided me with so much information, they even accepted a weakling like me as a brother.
They both looked at me and smiled.
Big One then excitedly said, let's go hunting today. We can learn to coordinate with our beasts and see how we can develop them and ourselves even more.
