"Gravis, it's time," the Empress said from her throne.
Gravis nodded. "I know. They should come out of their eggs soon," he said.
"We need to split them up. They can't be born near each other," the Empress said.
Gravis' eyes widened as he heard that. Separating the siblings at birth? Why would the Empress suggest something like that?
Gravis looked with cold eyes at the Empress. "Why?" he asked evenly.
The Empress had already expected such a reaction from Gravis. "Think about who their parents are," the Empress said. "I'm a powerful Emperor, and you have an incredibly powerful body and fighting instinct."
"As you know, when beasts are born, they can't even realize their own existence. In the beginning, they are nothing but a powerful body guided by pure instinct. Due to that, the first thing they will do after exiting their eggs is to try to eat the closest thing on their level, which are the other eggs."
