One sunny day, Jhin was in the library reading when his mother knocked on the door, taking Jhin's attention away from the book.
"jhin, you're reading alone again. I came here to ask you for lunch." says Zoe
"I like reading mom, it makes me happy to read the stories of the world and how people have resolved disturbances over the years, and yes, let's have lunch. I'm hungry" says jhin
Mom smiles when she sees me talking like an adult, she holds my hand and we walk along the corridor, which was too big for my understanding of Houses in my previous world, to this day I find it incredible how big the place we live in is.
we arrive in front of the door to the dining/lunch room and as before the door is huge, but my mother pushes the door like nothing and it opens. There is a large table inside and my father is at the window talking to the butler. the rules. The thing about my family is that there are NO rules, the chairs are at different angles to the norms of a noble family, my father says that we only have 3 people from the main line so why do we put so many restrictions.
dinner was halfway through when my father put on a somewhat unusual expression and said "jhin, you're going to do the magical ritual next year, what do you think about this?"
"I don't have a lot of pressure dad, I know I'll make it and if I don't I know that you and mom won't abandon me" says jhin
The ritual can indeed fail, many in history were born noble and fell to the bottom when they failed the ritual because they were abandoned by their family members. The ritual is the path to glory or failure and this Jhin has known for a long time reading books, this world is a world of the strong and this makes the ritual a very important event of angel myriads (great world).
"it's good to know this but with my lineage and your mother's you won't have any problems with the ritual I just wanted to know your mental state and now I'm at ease"
"okay but what is lineage, dad" says Jhin
"lineage is very complex but a summary is the power of the first birth passed down through generations in the family, as we are from the main line we have more compatibility and we have the greatest percentage of awakening the hidden power in our lineage, you as the only child have a great chance to awaken our lineages" says Krone
"and what is the power of your lineage?
"mine is the power of Nothing" says Krone
"mine is to devour" says Zoe
The family talked about the ritual and soon lunch was over. Jhin ran to the library to find a lineage book because he loved hearing about it from his parents.
Jhin saw a story that lineage is very difficult to pass down because of the realm, Ancestral Grand Mage, and very few magicians have reached such a realm throughout history.
1 year passed very quickly and today is the big day for jhin as for any 5 day old child.
