The sound of footsteps echoes in the grand chamber. Sunlight streamed through diamond windows illuminating the room with a beautiful golden glow. A heavenly jade cradle, greater than even the toddler, contained the baby as the divinely carved baby beasts also decorated the cradle and the pillow. His new body was still; only his broad vibrant eyes seemed to indicate the emotions gathered inside.
He could not understand how or why he was here. He last remembers the cold snow on his skin, and the mocking laughter of those kids faded away when darkness took over. And now... this.
The door opened just then bringing him back from his thoughts.
A tall, graceful figure entered the room. She had long silver hair which seemed like liquid moonlight her golden eyes locked at the baby which created shivers down his spine. She was not an ordinary woman. She was an embodiment of authority, power, and a maternal feel.
At long last, she whispered, "My son.".
The baby blinked. Son? He wanted to verbally protest it, but his body wouldn't comply. He stared in shock not believing what he saw.
Alice, the Queen of Heaven, bent down by the cradle as any other lady would, although she hardly was a lady. She reached out and picked up the baby gently.
"It's very small," she whispered, running her fingers over him. "And Yet... Your aura is something I have never felt before".
The baby flinched inwardly. What was that lady on about? Aura? He tried to understand the words but her warm embrace, which felt so strange to him having missed out on it for many years, stirred emotions within him he thought were lifetimes away.
"Welcome to the world, my dear Sebastian" said Alice, smiling at him oddly.
Before he could process, the door opened with a bang. Two girls entered and their stark contrast was clear.
A tall and striking teenager confidently walked in with a braid in his hair that was bright red. As she drew nearer, her emerald eyes shone.
"Mother! Is this really him? "She inquired, her tone a blend of inquisitiveness and pride.
Alice replied, "Yes Emily" mildly. "Meet your younger brother.".
With an intensity that made the baby squirm, Emily reclined down, staring into his face and spoke " I'll make him realllly strong. He doesn't look like much now, More Strong Than Anyone In the Heaven Sphere!".
The baby internally groaned. What is with her? I'm not some toy!
The second girl moved before he had time to think. She was small, with her lavender hair framing her soft face. With mischief sparkling in her violet eyes, she leaned closer to the baby.
"He's cute," Rose said smilingly. "However, just see his eyes… far too intelligent for a baby." Are you keeping something secret, little brother? "
Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. How could she tell? He gazed at her, expressionless, but she merely chuckled back.
While his family was busying him up, his hand suddenly felt warm. It was a strange familiarity like his old ring was back once again. In a flash, the four dark shapes appeared in his head, their laughter ringing in his ears.
He thought of the ring, and his little fist clenched automatically. The ring was no ordinary wheeler dealer show trinket that was for sure.
Alice noticed his sudden movements and gentle him back to the cradle. "Relax my son," she said gently. "You had a long journey".
Looking down at him, her words made the baby blink. A long journey, indeed.
Later that evening, as the baby lay alone in his cradle, he tried to understand everything. He stared at his tiny hands now unable to compare to the weak boy he was.
Suddenly, the room dimmed. An aura shined brightly from his body, indicating his great strength and power. He gasped internally. What was this?
Outside the room, two heavenly maids noticed the light coming from under the door. They exchanged nervous glances.
"Did you see that?" one whispered. "The young prince... he is already exhibiting feats of strength.".
"But he is just a kid!""the other answered, voice trembling." "This is beyond normal…"
A huge dragon, the same one as before, woke up deep inside a cave. Its age-old, scaled body stirred, as its glowing golden eyes opened once again.
"He is here" the dragon said with a voice like thunder. " The Seventh Heir… the scales have changed. Let the heavens prepare.".
The dragon then closed its eyes and returned to its slumber, leaving an ominous aura in the atmosphere.
Inside the palace, Alice sat in her own room and spoke to her advisers. The prophecy left them disturbed regarding the birth of her son.
One advisor said in a frightened voice, "He has the mark of the seven. If the prophecy holds truth, his very existence may throw the worlds out of balance."
Alice gave him a look that silenced him. "He's my son," she said. I will keep him safe, come what may
The family gathered around the cradle at the baby's stare. His head is spinning with questions, doubts, and a growing wish to find out why he was reborn.
He might be uncertain and scared about what was to come in this new life, but one thing was clear – I am not the weak, abandoned boy from Earth who was once ignored by everyone.
