Somewhere in a magnificent city, one of the largest in the kingdom where it was located, there was an astonishingly beautiful woman screaming to the top of her lungs as she was pushing with all the might she could muster. The beautiful woman was in the middle of giving birth and even though she was so beautiful , she was also extremely frail, and pale as a ghost. The baby has been taking a tole on her ever since her stomach had become noticeably larger, it seemed as if the baby was taking in more than just the worldly energy but also her life force, there was times when she collapsed, couldn't move out of bed and more.
The husband of the lady was an extremely rich merchant that was part of an organization called the merchant union, and even though he wasn't a high ranking member in the organization he was around the middle tier. He spent more than 2 thirds of his fortune on special items and medicines to keep her afloat during the pregnancy, most being spent on an extremely special and rare phenomena called clear water.
Clear water had heavenly attributes as it is said to be able to cleanse any and every poison known, cure illnesses even some that are genetic, it can purify the body and bloodline and if used enough it could help beings evolve including humans.
Besides clear water other special and rare items used was frozen lava, a couple drops of water from the lake of the white one, and eternal liquid glass.
Even with all of the treasures and phenomena being used in hopes to better her condition, it all seemed to provide her minimum benefits as she still looked like a beautiful walking corpse. As she used every ounce of strength she had in her, with one last ear tearing scream she pushed out a baby boy.
There was five people in the room and they were all astonished. One was of course the father whose name was Marceles, his twin brother(the child's uncle) Marcus, the midwife Aslana,the lady giving birth Samora, and the family's stewart Oswalt who was looking as if he was possessed.
There was a few reasons why they were all astonished, one being the fact that her stomach was still bulging as if a baby was still present in her abdomen, another being the features of the baby boy, and the fact that he didn't cry but stared at the midwife as if he was fully aware of what was going on.
The midwife being the first to hold the child and see his eyes was frozen stiff. His eyes were black but each iris was a different kind of black, the eye on the left was like pure black shattered obsidian, while the right eye was like a black hole, it didn't reflect light and shine, it was more like it absorbed light and gave off the feeling that it could snatch souls.
Marceles and Marcus was bewildered by his hair. From what they knew even though their bloodline didn't have any special characteristics besides things the two speculated, it was one thing almost every member from their lineage had in common, the beautiful teal hair color. Yet, the baby boy's hair was black like condensed shadows and seemed to absorb light.
The Stewart Oswalt and Samora were the first to notice a black tattoo or what seemed to be a tattoo of a tree on baby boy's back, but before Samora could speak on it like she intended to the pain and contractions intensified again which meant that there was another child present.
The fact that there was another child present in her abdomen was strange because with all of the means at their disposal in this world, they were only able to detect one child the entire pregnancy.
As Samora begin to feel the pain growing she attempted to gather strength to push, but no matter how hard she tried she felt empty and weak. Aslana noticed the struggling Samora instantly informed Marcus to let him know they would have to use prepared emergency plans. They had prepared a treasure bath, what they had been using her entire pregnancy to keep her stable. The different was this bath they prepared nearly broke the family financially, yet Marceles was the head of the family even though he was the younger brother so no one could stop him, no did anyone want to.
Their family wasn't really large and didn't have many members, especially this generation, so they were always extremely close and cherished each other dearly like no other family. Marcus and Marceles' generation didn't have many members, as it was only the twins their younger brother and their older sister.
Their older sister married into another family and Marcus didn't care to manage the family and wanted to focus on making offspring, so he gave the reigns to Marceles. Everyone fully support all of Marceles' decisions because he was the reason the family had risen to the level it currently was and he was extremely talented.
As they put Samora in the bath, she was instantly filled with energy that she used to push, and surprisingly the second baby came easily compared to the first. When the second baby was born everyone was shocked once again.
