(before Mirin's birth)
the palace was in depression ,the three brothers waiting anxiously for their mothers return ,the emperor walking back and forth ,this shoes stamping the "clack clack clack" . Hours later he stopped he sensed a different presence ,the warmth of a child .
"My daughter ,i have a daughter "
the brothers were surprised by their fathers remark ,they all wished for a baby sister.
the royal doctor stepped out of the empresses 's room ,looking dull and sad with a heavy voice he spoke
"greetings to the Hyperion of Argen , your highness i have news to report firstly you have a new born daughter but the Selene of the empire has passed away leaving a Stella behind "* ( Stella is how the female child of the emperor is referred to as) *..the emperor was shocked he wanted to strangle the child but remembered that his wife died in the process of bring the little one to life ,he hated it but when he saw the baby the tune of his hymn of death changed ..the baby had pale white skin with Sapphire blue eyes ,she looked fragile and delicate ,she was splitting image of her mother with the eyes of her father ..
(meanwhile in the holy temple)
"your holiness the fire of the oracle is burning ?! "
"impossible! the fire has not burnt in the past 500 years , get the high priests ,get ready for the foretelling of the prophecy"
the holy temple was buzzing with work for the oracle ,the mother of the oracle or the saint who speaks with god was meditating ,the saint was sleeping in pretense of meditating to fool the priests..
suddenly the weather changed the clouds became dark ,its started raining heavily ,then a lighting bolt hit the alter and mana flowed from it to the saint ..and from her mouth came these words.
" the blessed kin of god"
"her powers of infinite"
"the bouquet of roses"
"the alpha of all knights "
"the lady of silver "
" the mother of reign"
"the wings of heaven"
the mood was gloomy , it was a prophecy of fortune but everything has a price .. last time a prophecy like this came ,there was a war between two houses because child was a commoner ..this time if the child is from the noble or aristocratic factions then the price might of great value ,maybe the empire might have a drought or a earthquake ....
" the is child is from Nobility or even royalty the child is a girl ,because the prophecy said "lady of silver " and mother of reign "...
the saintess was experienced in translating prophecies but she only did a few prophecies previously ,so she was not sure about the child but she knew this child will be unlike any other prophecy child
suddenly ! the doors of the temple fling open ,the royal messenger squirmed around looking like he was just set free from bandits holding hostage she screamed with all his might
"A STELLA HAS BEEN BORN !!!"
The saintess and all the other priests looked surprised ,the atmosphere was filled with a very confusing and awkward situation ..the saintess calmed her self down was going to speak to the priests but noticed their faces , all of them looked stunned and there eyes were filled with confusion ,their mouths touched the floor ,the saintess looked like her stomach would burst ,internally she was laughing like the devil possessed her ,but because a saint was supposed to clam and reserved she did a pretty good job hiding her emotions .
then the messenger continued
" But the empress , the Selene of the empire has passed away "
the most shocked person in the room was the saintess ,the saintess and aridna were sisters .
"impossible ,she had the blessing of the creator"
" the empress was one of the greatest females of the empire or even lady of the century"
saintess felt a tug at her heart ,she was having a pain in her head ,knowing her fate she smiled and with a weak voice said
" the next saintess may have my blessing "
the saintess fell on the floor with a large "THUD" ,the priests this time immediately carried the saintess to a room called the doctors after a through check-up the doctors confirmed her death .
"two of the greatest females in the empire die at the same time this must be the price for the fortune.
( back in the palace)
" your majesty the mages and the priests are asking for your audience" announced the chancellor
" let them in "
the majestic doors of the palace opened , eleven mages entered ,ten in white cloaks walked towards the emperor ,they were mages ,they powerful ones ..there was one mage wearing the cloak of the empire ,the most powerful mage , she had a powerful and strange aura , then the priests of the holy temple followed ,
" your highness the Hyperion of the empire , the mages of Argen are here to announce the demise of lady Assisi ,the mage of sisa and the sister of the empress"
"your highness the Hyperion of the empire, the priests of the holy temple are here to announce the demise of saintess aria "
the emperor looked surprised, he didn't expect such a blow to the empire.
" your majesty , the dukedom of sisca sent a message "
The dukedom of sisca the second biggest family in the empire after the imperial family .
" Duchess arrisa , of the dukedom of sisca has passed away "
The quartet of the most respected women in the society passed away at the same time , and all of them left behind respected and legendary legacies,
saintess aria , the lady of orphans and goodwill ,
dame/duchess arrisa , the duchess-dame of the sisca dukedom , the lady of gracious courage,
empress aridna , the empress of the largest empire in the whole continent , the lady of law,
mage Assisi , the first female mage of the ministry , the lady of the magnus
( an hour later )
"your majesty , the prophecy states your daughter is going to become what all those for women were together , which means she may even become the most respected woman in all of the empire or even the continent , but she must be taught from a young age , why don't you let us the priests of the holy temple raise her "
"no , your majesty let us the mages take her in "
" father ,lets keep her with us , she must grow with her brothers"
" your majesty the duke wants to take in your daughter"
while all of them were squabbling with each other the emperor was in deep thought , he was thinking if he should keep that child alive and if that will the child make-up for the loses of the empire ...
suddenly an idea popped into his head
" SILENCE "
" head mage , use the future flicker magic , i want to see if the child is worth a royal title"
everybody went silent , the cold words of the emperor stunned the court ..
"y-yes you majesty , but doing so will take sometime at least 3-4 days "
" fine ! take 3 days to do so , chancellor send for all the heads of departments now and tell them to arrive at the palace within 2 days"
suddenly a blinding light , from the opal palace ,...the emperor shocked forgot the formal manners of excusing the court and ran towards opal palace only to find ...
