The year is 4007, the Bloodheart family is happy with the birth of the twins Alex and Theodore. The father Michel is looking at the two. A woman with dark long hair and eyes black as obsidian hugs him.
"Theo is such a fighter. He came out first, he screams and tries to move in his crib. Like you." Michel smiles at Alex " This guy ain't that bad either,"He points at Alex "He makes up for the cries of Theo with the silence. I thought he was deaf for a little while."
The woman breaks the hug. "We have to take the picture today. Let's get outside." Both of them grab the twins and walk down in the garden. They set up a modern camera with a hole in the top of it and set the timer. They smile, she gets closer to him, leaning on him with Theodore in her hands. The camera takes the shot and pulls out a picture.
She gets towards the camera. "It's so beautiful." She said. Her smile defeated any flower or goddess, that's what Michel thought. He looks at her smiling. Behind them from a distance his father watches them, with disgust. He turns around.
The two get back in their room and put the children to sleep. Michel goes to his study and writes some documents in relations with the goldhaven clan and congratulates them with the birth of their first son Herry after a chain of 4 girls.
Michel's father enters the room. "I took a visit to the witch…" Michel sighs, "What did she tell you now?" The man sits on a chair. "Told me that one of the children is gonna become a nobody and the other will become king of a giant nation." Michel laughs.
"So? I expect that from both of them, to become king is what I want for both."
"She told me a name, Theodore Bloodheart, the one handed great king ." Michel looks in his father's eyes "Theo, has both his hands. What does that witch intend for my son?" "She told me you're gonna be poisoned by your wife, and Hunter's new marriage will end in suffering."
The old man shook a bit. "It told me that today a light in the sky will come out signaling a god stone was activated. If that's what's happening you divorce Liana and marry who I SAY to marry, because SHE will kill you!"
Michel slaps his father. "This witch plagued your mind." The man still kept seated. "When you divorce, keep Theodore, he looks like a real Bloodhearth on the outside and the Inside." Michel storms out and slams the door shut. He goes outside and hides himself for a smoke break.
"He said that bullshit from that witch. He hated her because she isn't of 'pure blood' FUCKING HELLS!" He shouts. Out of nowhere a little child made his way into the castle. She had a little sigil with the Goddess of victory on the chest of a beautiful white dress. "It's bad to smoke mister!" The little girl said. 'Why is this girl here?' He said in his head.
"The smoke calms me down… I am mad about something my father said." She grabs the cigarette from his mouth and throws it away. "This is for not listening to me"
"Who are you?" The girl slaps him. "Dare you to ask a messenger who they are, the sigil says for itself." She removes the sigil from her chest. "Give the sigil to the boy that feels like a real Bloodhearth!" The child runs away, he runs after her, she takes a corner, he does the same, but it's a dead end and she is gone.
He scratches his eyes and sighs, he opens his eyes and looks at what the girl gave him, it's the sigil, nothing more. Michel goes back to his room. His wife was sleeping while the children were sleeping too. Theodore starts to cry again, Michel goes to him and tries to calm him down. He gives in Theodore's hand the sigil. Theodore calms down. He sighs in relief and looks at the small child.
"Hope you didn't wake your mother up, that will be a shame…" He said, now looking at her, she looks exhausted. The exhaustion gets the better of him and he sleeps on the crib's railing.
The morning light woke up the two parents. "They are already awake!" Said Michel, looking at his twins. "I'll grab the bottle to feed them" The woman sees the shape of the railing on his forehead. "No, I will. You took care of them all night." He sighs, "I just want to help."
He gets up, and looks out the window. The mountains, and the hills make beautiful scenery for everyone to view. Out of a mouth a bright light comes looking like a beam. He remembered his father's words. "Mariah, my father wants us to be separate. He has his motives, but I don't want to lose you either. I know he will make us divorce one way or another, I want to fake a divorce. He needs to believe it. You'll take Alex and I'll pay every expense."
14 years later he was sitting next to Theodore looking after him, he looked at Theodore's arm, missing, he wanted to burst into crying, but he didn't. Mariah came rushing alongside their son Alex. "What happened?" Michel doesn't look at them.
"I called you if he dies to at least meet you. He needs to know who his mother is."
He leaves the room. The woman kisses him on the forehead. "You won't die, look under the flooring in your training hall. It's a weak wooden flooring there, go when you must." She hugs him and stays like that for a long while. She let go and backs off from her child. "Let's go Alex, we need to pray for him."
After they left Theodore opened his eyes. "She is my mother?" He burst into tears. "Patricia ain't my mother?" He punches his face with his left hand and takes a deep breath and exhales it. 'I need to go home'
