In the vast space above Earth, a golden light burst forth, carrying the soul of Arthur Queen, a wealthy heir who had died in his sleep.

I awoke in darkness, surrounded by a gooey substance that held me captive. Confusion reigned as I struggled to understand my surroundings. The air was thick with pressure, squeezing me tighter. Time lost meaning as the force intensified. Finally, I stared up at towering figures in white coats and blue masks. One spoke, "Congratulations, Mrs. Queen, you've had a healthy baby girl..." The nurse corrected herself, "Wait, no, it's a boy!" A silent scream of rage echoed within me. Those words revealed the unthinkable truth: I had been reborn.

As I lay there, frozen in shock, the nurse slapped my bottom, eliciting a furious wail. My exhaustion was palpable. My eyelids drooped, but not before I summoned the strength to flip a defiant gesture at the nurse. Sleep claimed me soon after.

As I slept, the nurse passed me to my mother. The door burst open, and a chiseled man rushed in, his eyes locking onto my mother and me. He swept my mother into a tender embrace before cradling me in his arms. "Welcome, Arthur Universe Queen, firstborn of Leonard Pendragon Queen and Athena Morgana Queen!" he declared. With my mother's hand still clasped in his, he bellowed, "Spread the word: the Queen family's heir has arrived! Invite the world's powers to our son's welcome home celebration!"
