Huff... huff...
"Congratulations madam it's a girl!!" Exitedly shouted a old woman wearing a maid uniform while holding a baby and showed it to the beautiful mother.
The woman smiled as she looked at her daughter, but the door suddenly bursts open as a man wearing a black suit, blonde hair and red eyes barged in to the room, his face showed worry and exitement.
The old maid and other maids in the room also got startled by it and was ready to confront the intruder, but upon seeing who it was they stayed silence and handed over the baby.
"Sir congratulations its a girl" the old maid said as she handed over the baby to the man who is clearly exited but got stopped before he could even hold the baby.
A young maid wearing a different color of uniform took the baby and looked at the man "the mother should be the one to hold the baby first before the father."
He wanted to argue but got just gave up as he looked at the maid glaring at him. The maid walked over to the mother and handed the baby "madam, congrats" she said as she smiled as if seeing her daughter's achievement.
The beautiful mother held the baby with great care, "Luna, your name will be Luna Solace".
After naming the baby, it cried, as the mother panicked before calming down and sing a lullaby as the baby calmed down and slept.
"How fascinating..." a man in a butler uniform exclaimed in a low voice but no one heard him asthey are all busy, he looked at a triangular device in his palm.
He hid his exitement and was about to talk to the father of the baby but decided to do it later as he saw that he took the baby from the mother.
The father held his daugher and looked at his wife "Lily, you should take a rest and let me handle the rest" his wife just smiled at him.
"Uhm..." That was her only response as she closed her eyes and slept.
1 day later
"Sir, there's an emergency" a soldier wearing a futuristic armor saluted to a blonde man exiting the room.
Hearing what the soldier said, his face became serious and started to walk and headed to the underground of the mansion the soldier following behind.
Arriving at the underground, he entered a black armored car as it floated 1 meter above ground and drove into a wormhole with other floating cars at the front and back as escorts.
After 1 hour, they arrived at a heavily guarded facility, the facility has 6 towers surrounding it and in the middle of the 6 towers was a huge dome and inside the dome are different structures.
In the middle of it all is a pure white square platform the floating cars descended. Entering the dome, the guards escorting him dispersed and he walked to the white platform as bright light engulfs him and he dissapeared.
"Welcome, General Raynold" a robotic voice greeted him as he arrived at a research like facility.
"What's the situation?" He asked as he walked towards a group of researchers all monitoring a huge screen and many other smaller screens.
"The lead researcher, William, instructed to be the one to explain the situation" the robotic sound answered and Raynold walked in to a glass room.
"General Raynold, congratulations on becoming a father!!" A lively voice greeted him but he ignored it as if its just air.
"Whats the situation?" Seeing the serious and cold expression on the general, William just sighed as he is confused why this general is always different when he is with his wife.
"There was an anomaly yesterday... January 6, 2007 around 8:09 pm." He said and took out a tablet containing his reports and handed it over to Raynold as he continued "it destroyed 6 of the observers with just its energy fluctuations"
"It also destroyed the barriers we deployed just a month ago, at that time we thought it was already the end of the planet because even using all the observers, we cant measure it's energy because they overload in an instant."
"What surprised us the most was that the anomaly just dissipated as it entered the planets atmosphere." William told the summary of the report to Raynold.
Reading the report he frowned 'This... It must be a coincidence...' Raynold thought while reading the report at the same time listening to William.
"Continue to observe what will gonna happen," he looked at William and asked "it says here at that after this anomaly dissipated, all the ones who has 3rd tier core and above are showing much more growth potential?"
"Yes sir. As you have read it on the report, an hour after the anomaly dissipated, me and some researchers felt some changes. Not knowing what those changes are, we proceeded to do some scan and scanned our body and the rest are as you have seen in the report, sir." William answered.
In this world, every creature has a core in their body, most people just called it second heart. This second heart is a condensed form of soul, even if your heart will be destroyed, as long as your second heart or core is intact you can still live.
Relying on the second heart, one can already live for a thousand years. So most inhabitants of this planet despite looking young can be hundred or even thousand years of old. If they can strengthen their core, they can live much more longer and also become stronger.
The cores are divided into tiers
Tier 1 core can live up to 1,000 years
Tier 2 core - 1,200 years
Tier 3 core - 2,500 years
Tier 4 core - 3,000 years
Tier 5 core - 5,000 years
And if they enter tier 6 they will not have a lifespan anymore as their body will crumble and recreate a new true body. The downside is that they won't be able to reincarnate if they are killed.
This is the trait of their race, the Zatirrian race, despite looking like humans, they have many differences such as the core, since humans can't have a core.
Another is some of their appearance and more, and examples are, the Zatirrian race has long ears, black sclera, they can't lie, they grow strong as long as they live except their lifespan as they need to strengthen their core. They always have to keep their vow or promise, they do not betray each other as they always help one another.
Unlike humans that was their opposite has no hesitation to lie if necessary, like to make conflicts, some of them are greedy, but there are also good humans. The problem is that because of the ambition of other humans it affected other innocent humans too.
But it all depends on them as the humans are unpredictable, they are weak but has a lot of potential. But it got wasted as they fight ang scheme on each other anyway, so others just ignore them and just make trade with them as long as they don't cause conflict with them.
Humans and Zatirrians are often comparwd with each other as they have many similarities but at the same time like day and night. Zatirrians didn't bother about it as they still acknowledge the humans because of their potential, if they didn't have the potential they would've made a move about it.
-back to Raynold and William, other explanations later
The answer and report of William made Raynold confused, wether if he should be worried or be glad. They dont even know what the anomaly is "i will be the one to report it to the elders..."
Raynold paused and looked at William "you will accompany me in the meeting later." He left as soon as he finished, and left William who started to complain but just ignored it.
