In the small village, northeastern side of the Diovern County. The village of Prima, just a simple village that produces goods not only to themselves, but to the parts of Diovern County too.
The village consist mostly just a hundred people, including the Veln family. The Veln family only had three family members. This family recently moved here from afar, and the villagers accept them with a warm embrace.
"I'll go now to work" Alex Veln say to his wife. Alex Vern, a hunter, his expertise is bow and arrow. "I'll have to hunt big boys in the wild for the birthday of our son".
"Be careful honey~" Cristine Veln say to her husband. Cristine Veln a normal person, as a woman with no expertise in combat he is a good housewife. "Kevin! Your dad is going now! Say goodbye!".
A young man runs through the stair with a clumpsy posture.
"Dad! Goodbye!" Kevin smiles at his dad. Kevin 9 years old kid, his birthday will be tomorrow in 10th day of month of the water in the empirial calendar.
"That's my boy! You better guard and help your mom ok?" Alex told his son as he get to his knees. "You must protect her".
With a proud smile, Kevin replied "Yes dad!". The bright smile of Kevin faltered the heart of his parents. The sun is at dawn where the bird chirps echoed like melody's.

A cracking noise of a tree branch interrupt Cristine. "Kevin can you go up stairs?" Cristine ask Kevin but Kevin is quite stubborn child so he refuse.
"Hm- I'm sorry my child" his mother smile faded and a sudden explosion burst down the walls of their house. Three people covered in black robe entered their house.
"Hello there Cristine! You really think you could hide from the eyes of the empire?" A man voice spoke up to Cristine, though Kevin couldn't see his face. Kevin trembles behind his mother's back.
"Oh~ you have a cute child" a womans voice speaks this time. "You waited for my husband to go hunting huh?" Cristine ask.
"Ho~ I don't know what your talking about" the woman refuse the accusation of Cristine. Even if it's not clear Kevin can see the person in front of the two of them unsheath it's sword.
"Now is not the time for talking" the man said. In the blink of an eyes the man is in front of Cristine. He attacked her, Kevin screamed.
"NOOO!!!" Kevin cries echoed through the village. "What a surprise. You prepared a barrier miss Cristine" man said. Even though Kevin can't see much he can see a blue aura coming from his mother.
"As expected from the star of the Xerion Empire. The brightest star among all the stars. First ever 10th circle mage, Cristine Veln or should I call you-"
"Shut up!" Cristine shout and the man stopped speaking. "If the Dromang Empire knows that the elite force of the Xerion Empire cross the border, there will be war!" Cristine said.
"Oh come on~ you know who cross first!" The woman summon her staff from nowhere. "I admire you, and chased after you.. yet you chose to abandon us!" the entire village tremble, it seems like an earthquake occur.
"You better keep that child having a barrier! Because if that barrier breaks, he'll die!" The woman said.
"Try to break it lowlife! Your just a 9th circle mage, you don't know how far you are from me!" Cristine said as her eyes glows in golden light.
A clash of mana happened between the two great mages.
