Chapter 1: The Dawn of a Golden Light
In a room bathed in a golden glow, Maria, supported by her husband Auguste, feels the waves of the birth of their first child. The room vibrates with magical energy, illuminating the night sky with golden auroras.
Auguste: *Holding Maria's hand* "Everything will be fine, my love. Our child will be born under a divine blessing."
Magical murmurs accompany the miracle of life, and Maria cries tears of joy as she holds her son in her arms.
Maria: *Tears of happiness* "He is so beautiful, Auguste. A true gift from the heavens."
Lucius, still a newborn, opens his eyes with a radiant golden hue, leaving Maria in awe of their beauty.
Maria: "Look, Auguste, his eyes... They are like golden stars."
Auguste: *Moved* "He carries the light of our future, Maria."
The parents lean in together to choose their son's name.
Auguste: "Lucius. Yes, Lucius Vale. May his life be as bright as the light that welcomed him."
After the birth, Auguste, in his study, reflects on his hopes and concerns.
Auguste: *Introspective* "Lucius, my son, you bear a destiny that even the stars have not yet revealed. May you grow strong and wise."
Louis, the old butler, enters the room to discover the new addition to the family.
Louis: "Congratulations, Sir and Madam. A new light in the house."
Anna, the maid, gently hands the baby to Maria.
Maria: "Thank you, Anna, for everything. You've been more than a maid; you've been a precious friend."
Auguste quickly joins his wife, supporting Maria in these moments of happiness and emotion.
Auguste: "We are a family now, bound by love and light."
The room still sparkles with that golden glow, a symbol of the beginning of a life illuminated by extraordinary destinies. As golden auroras light up the sky of the Argentor Empire, mysterious whispers arise among the inhabitants. Some see in this phenomenon a divine manifestation, an omen heralding an exceptional destiny for the newborn, Lucius Vale. Scholars, light-worshipping cults, and even secret societies might be drawn to this magical light, observing with interest the child's growth.
Rumors spread like will-o'-the-wisps, invoking ancient prophecies and forgotten legends. These whispers even reach Lucius's ears as he grows, awakening his curiosity about his own destiny.
This subtle plot weaves an invisible thread between events, foreshadowing that Lucius's birth is not just an isolated act but the prelude to a series of events that will shape the fate of the human continent. The shadows of secret observers, enigmatic scholars, and light worshippers loom in the background, ready to play a crucial role in young Lucius Vale's life.

Within the pantheon, the birth of Lucius does not escape the attention of the gods. The God of Light, Lux, feels a particular connection with this newborn bearing the golden glow. The gods gather in their celestial realm to deliberate on the role they might play in the life of this exceptional child.
Lux, with his radiant benevolence, is inclined to guide Lucius on the path of light. However, other gods express reservations, fearing excessive divine influence on mortal destinies. Nocta, the Guardian of Shadow, suggests letting Lucius forge his own destiny, free from divine influences. Tension rises within the pantheon, reflecting cosmic conflicts between light and shadow.
Lux insists that Lucius could be the key to balancing magical forces in Metria, uniting discordant elements. Siel, the God of Wind, worries about disruptions this could cause in natural magical flows.
As the gods debate, a mysterious entity stands in the shadows,a dissident divine force, observing Lucius's birth with particular interest. entity advocates for a more active approach, subtly influencing events to guide Lucius towards a unique destiny.
Thus, the pantheon remains divided on how to handle Lucius's birth, creating divine tension that reverberates in the mortal world. This divine intrigue will subtly intertwine with Lucius's life, influencing his destiny in ways that transcend mortal understanding. The gods watch, ready to intervene or let Lucius carve his own path.
