After a few months, the Kurokagane family had finally settled in properly and were returning to their various jobs, Takeshi who belonged to the royal family of their country Goulem was kicked out and couldn't afford any well paying jobs, so he worked as a village hunter, Harmalia had no family background unlike her husband so she worked as a cleaner in a restaurant.
Immediately after their parents went to work , the twins crawled inside their rooms , then some where inside the house , Itsuki and Jin were discussing , Jin then mentioned something that happened in the village market sometime ago.
"hey , Itsuki listen"
he called
"A woman was walking along the market when suddenly a man rushed towards her with a knife and stabbed her."
Itsuki was shocked to hear this , it was quite unusual for something like that to happen in their village , in fact , almost nobody died for any other reason than old age and illness , so obviously this news came shock to Itsuki.
Itsuki then pondered on what Jin said before asking;
"are you sure that's what really happened?"
"m-mh " Jin hesitated
he continued
"I didn't actually see it happen , it was just some rumor that was going round ".
Itsuki then sighed in relief , since it was just a rumor.

After a few days passed, the day or the new born finally arrived, it was the day of the month were they publicly named the new born, it so happened to be the day the twins were born.
the twins parents had gone to get things ready as presents for the twins.
A few hours later, when the Naming ceremony was about to begin...
*gung* *gung* *gung*
the sounds of bells were heard,
this was the village's alert system, these bells were rung when another village's troops were heading towards Asyria.
Immediately the bells rung, several demon birds flew into the sky and started shouting;
"village entering lock mode! Village entering lock mode!"
soon after, the village warriors started mobilising and moving around, by the time the other village's troops had arrived, Juri had gathered every warrior, hunter and Mage in the village Infront of the gates, naturally Takeshi was one of them. In about twenty minutes, everyone was prepared for war.
Juri then stepped out as he spoke yo the three leaders
" what business do you have with Asyria, Kyuri?"
Kyuri was one of the people whom Juri nearly slathered as he became lord. Kyuri was the leader of a small village to the far northeast called Ceres. Their village was known for selling rubber and any other rubber related products.
Juri had banned the people of Asyria from buying and selling to the people of Ceres, see that, Kyuri also did the same thing,
but the real reason behind Kyuri's anger was the fact that Juri was his younger brother and he was supposed to take over Asyria from their father, Juke, but then Juri killed Juke and rounded up those who liked the way Juke ruled and gave them to Kyuri to never return again.
