The world of Aria , a world filled with large mountains and plains filled with fauna like no other and oceans filled with plants so wondrous that some could bring one back from brink of death.
The world consists of 5 main continents namely Northern, southern, eastern, western and central continent and islands all around the world.
This world was filled with various races with humans, beasts and devils as the most prominent races .
Aria was filled with wondrous energy called mana that allowed the residents of the world to cultivate and break the norms of the common people. Absorption of mana makes their body stronger then ever, where are one point one could break mountains with their bare hands . Due to this strength orientation, this world was cruel one where only the strong had the right to say and live freely while the weak ... No one cares for the weak do they.
So in this cruel and bloodthirsty world, in one of the remote places of the eastern continent was a town called maple town .The town was mainly controlled by 3 families. Ross, Wicks and Troy.
These families had control of the town but there were other prominent establishments as well which though did not fight for supremecy of the town had a significant say in its working .
The town housed an orphanage as well which was looked over Tris and Brown . Both on their early fourtys . Miss tris with brown hairs that went to her waist had blue eyes and a plump figure with an easy going smile on her face due to which she was well liked by all the children of the orphanage, while her husband , Mr Brown had brown hairs and a somewhat well built figure. He had sharp black eyes and due to him almost never smiling, was feared in the orphanage .
It was during winter when most of the town was covered in snow . A man in black attire entered the vicinity of maple town . The two guards at the gate of the town wre unable to even gauge his presence in their minds , they forgot him the moment they saw him . It was as if he had no presence .
He walked slowly on the lonely streets on the town his feets leaving no footprints on the snow filled roads and made his way towards the orphanage.He stopped in front of the orphanage and looked at the cradle in his hands which had a small child sleeping in it .
Looking at the child with eyes filled with sadness but resolve he said "I am sorry child for me to have leave you now . We are the last remaining two people of once powerful family once ruiling over many but fate is cruel ...who knew we would be attacked by so many at our most joyous occasion, killing everyone from our family and they stole your bloodline as well, but if they told me correctly then you can still rise , rise above anyone ...I am sorry I can't avenge you. And I can't give you anything as well but they must have left you with something, you will get them when you get strong enough but for now live well,since after today you will be the last remaining member of our family. Live well child." After saying that he left the cradle on ground in front of the door and knocked it . Giving the child one last look he vanished from there like he was never there .
The orphanage owners tris and brown were ordinary couple in maple town , due to them not being able to have any children of their own they decided to open an orphanage but it had only 3 children now since 2 others who used to live here were recruited by the sects on their talent awakening ceremony, which had also helped the orphanage as people don't bully them due to minor protection given to them by the sect . Although they did not wanted to fall away from the children they had no choice as talent ceremony was a mandatory process for all the children between 9 to 11 and sects readily accepted new seeds with good talents while those unable to join the sects chose to live as mortals while some chose to work for the big families. The big families were exempted from it as they had their own forces and ties with other organisations so even though they performed awaking ceremony, it was up to them if they wanted to send their children to the sect.
it was winter and an ordinary day in the life of couple . The 3 children ray , lily and Clara were 7 this year and were growing nicely . Due to mana in the air , the children of aria matured faster than the world you mortals live in so even though they were four, the couple had told them about the ceremony and the possibility of their getting in the sect like their two big brother and sister.
During the night when both the couple were in deep sleep, Tris woke up due to the sudden knock of door . Opening her eyes she slowly got up from the bed and looked at her husband sleeping without a care of world. Smiling faintly she wore her sleepers and slowly walked towards the door opening it.
opening of door made the cold air creep into the house making her shiver a little, shivering she found that there was no one the door ,so cursing anyone who did this she was prepared to close the door when her gaze went down towards the cradle with a sleeping child in it . She hurriedly carried it in her arms and closed the door . Making her way towards her husband she looked towards the sleeping child. Entering her room she called out for her husband
"Brown"
"Brown"
"Huh, what is it tris , I was having a good dream there" brown said while opening his eyes slowly, he saw his wife standing beside the bed with a child...? in her hands .
"Huh?"
This made him quickly jolt up and look at his wife questionably .
Looking at her husband she started speaking
" I was sleeping when a knock on the door woke me up , going outside I found this child in a cradle wrapped in a cloth and a locket in his neck "
" Someone left him outside? In this cold weather..?"
"Yeah .. something must have happened to his parents "
"So .. we are keeping him with us then ?"
"You can't expect him to live by himself, do you?" She said looking at him threateningly .
"Of course not dear , ofcourse not , so what is his name ? " He asked scaredly whiping the imaginary swaet on his forehead.
Hearing this tris looked at the child again and picked up the locket which had a name engraved on it . This action made the child awake . He looked around from tris 's arms and finally looked at her .
Tris also looked at the child and observed him , him had small black hairs on his head , a small nose and a cute face , but the most amazing thing were his eyes, the purest blue eyes which were so deep that she felt she was inside a river . Looking at her the child started laughing which in turn made her smile as well. Looking at the locket once again she turned to face her husband once again and said " his name is ... Ethan Everhart."
