Synopsis
This is my first time writing and I have no spell checker so I may crash and burn but give it a go. In this story a young noble will have his family ripped away from him and he will be left with a massive task that will decide the fate of the realm, will he be a goody two shoes and help everyone along the way, a tyrant killing all who oppose him, or will he just live life by his own rules without a care for what anyone else thinks? This will start off pretty slowly as I try to build a world but if you enjoy it please let me know if you have constructive criticism then happy to hear it if o have approximately 30k words typed I will aim to get at least 2-5k words posted per week the rating may change if i decide i can write the scenes and make them orth reading but for now it suitable for all try to enjoy

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Prologue

1416:

"He will be born in a time of darkness,

He shall be the balance between light and dark,

The guardian of all of magic,

The protector of the source,

He shall be given the gift of immortality, but he must grow strong quickly,

He will have descended from the progenitor but will be even more in tune with the source,

He will be descended from the four creators,

The balance that prevents stagnation,

Death to all those who seek to offset the balance."

Myrddin Wyllt came back to his senses and looked to his wife for the answer he knew was to come.

"It is time" was all she had to say before Myrddin knew he was finally able to rest with his wife.

Together they each let a drop of blood drop onto the prized stone

{Are you sure you want to disconnect your lifeforce from the ARTEFACT: philosophers stone? YES/NO}

Myrdinn glanced at Guendoloena and saw her smile back as he selected {YES} there was a flash of light and PING as the stone disappeared.

They both then had windows pop up for them as they began to rapidly age.

{Status effect IMMORTALITY has been lost, stats reduced by 5 for every level, Life Span (LS) returned to level limits}

{TITLE: Ageless has been lost -25 Charisma, -25 Dexterity, -25 Constitution, -25 Strength}

"Stats" they said simultaneously as a window appeared in front of each of them.

"Now my wife it is finally time for us to be reunited with our children and finally rest I know I will be allowed by the system to return to inform the heir of his destiny as part of his tutorial process.

I just hope I am able to prepare him enough, and that things don't deteriorate more quickly than we have predicted, I would have never understood my part in the world if I did not have my spirit guide, I can only hope I will do the job half as well"

And they were Merlin's last words before his and his wife's body became magic itself and ascended to be with their friends and family.

2082: (666Years later)

"Come on Arya just one more push! You can do it honey" Lucas says through his clenched teeth, his hand is clenched in a death grip by Arya's own hand he ignores the update provided by the system as he tried to encourage his wife to push and birth their son.

{-200HP, Status effect: Right Hand Crippled}

"Arrg" screams Arya as she bears down and pushes with all her might. Her fiery red hair usually wavy as if a burning flame matted against her lightly freckled sweat-soaked ivory skin, her ice blue eyes as sharp as ever promising pain as she stares back at he husband.

Finally, she collapses exhausted as she hears the system PING and she hears a child's cry as it takes its first breath in its new world.

"Congratulations Mr & Mrs Atholl you now have a lovely baby boy," said the elderly medic that was present during the process.

"Thank You Lisa for all your help, I don't suppose that Elijah and Remus can come in now?" Lucas asks as he takes the baby from Lisa into his arms and gently rocks him as he sits on Arya's bed to let her see him and hold him.

Arya had regained enough strength to sit up on the bed and look at her beautiful baby as well as acknowledge the notifications that has appeared.

{CONGRATULATIONS: It's a Boy you have now Gained the TITLE: Mother +10 CON, +10 WIS, +20 CHA}

{+10,000 EXP}

{LEVEL UP - +1 LVL85, +5 STATS}

Lucas also had similar notifications

{CONGRATULATIONS: It's a Boy you have now gained the TITLE: Father +10 Strength, +10 CHA, +10 WIS}

{+1,000 EXP}

{Status Effect Crushed Hand Removed}

"Yes if you like I can show them in on my way out. Oh and what are you going to call him?" asked Lisa.

{You have now given birth to a Baby Boy please select a NAME}

"Yes please Lisa, And Thank You for everything you have done for us throughout this pregnancy, we are going to name him Ezra" Arya said as she cooed to the newly name Ezra.

"Well, I will leave you all to relax and ill send the others in, good luck with life baby Ezra."

With that, she left the room to go and send Elijah and Remus in leaving the proud and happy new parents cooing to their new baby.

Lucas and Arya both looked down at baby Ezra his light tufts of dark red hair matted against his head before using their Observe ability to further check his condition.

Both Lucas and Arya were stumped about why were they unable to see Ezra's race/species both of them were fully Human though both of their families did have a history of producing halflings they had never heard of a race/species being unreadable.

Both of them are intelligent so the prodigy title though a surprise it is not unexpected, as they both hold the genius title themselves, so there is a 20% chance of their offspring receiving the prodigy title, 60% chance of the Genius title, 10% chance of average title, 5% chance of receiving the Savant title, and 5% chance of the Idiot title.

"I will have to have a look at the family Grimoire when we return to the manor and see if there is any mention of the race/species being unreadable in the past after all if it has happened before it is bound to be recorded there." Lucas commented to Arya who nodded as she continued to gaze at Ezra as he looked back at her with amazingly focused and clear blue eyes gripping her finger tightly, she thought back on what she knew of Lucas' family she knew they were old blood she herself is from the McInroy family who have stood side by side with the Atholls since the 13th Century living up to the Atholl house motto "Virtutis gloria merces" which means Glory is the reward of valour.

Lucas Atholl is around 6ft 6inch tall, built with a swimmer's body toned and agile without too much bulky muscle he has brown hair and piercing blue eyes.

Lucas is the Head of the Atholl family which dates back as far as the 8th Century recorded but is believed to be even older. The Atholl Clan was one of the 11 tribes in the northern Pictish nation and later settled in Perthshire in Blair Castle. Their house coat of arms of three silver wolf heads on a blood-red shield supported by a serpent and a dove.

The Atholl family has been at the top since they were established and have even been lucky enough to produce 2 Saint and 5 Barons/Baroness level members usually a family is only lucky enough to produce 1 or 2 baron/baroness level members before it dies out this is what had kept the Atholl family at the top but it also means they have many eyes on them and enemies that would love nothing more than to get their hands on the families artifacts and accumulated knowledge.
