Chapter One

The explosion of planet, completely shattered the solar system, which the planet was orbit.

The force of the planet was so great that, the invincible coffin, that was unaffected by anything, was pushed to the side. 

Thus completely changing its trajectory.

The black coffin was headed straight for a planet, light years away from the planet that exploded. As the black coffin entered the surface of the planet, it caught on fire. It was like a showering meteor. But all of a sudden the orange flame, burned black and more intensely. 

The black coffin, crashed into a volcano that was oozing out black lava. The crash caused a gigantic explosion, partial destroying the volcano in the process. 

This explosion, was humongous. 

A beast slumbering beneath the volcano, awoke in all its rage. It was a bird, with dark black feathers coverings its entire body. Alongside the black feathers, it occasionally had golden feathers, which gave it a regal feel. The bird had red eyes, and a single golden black feather, on its forehead. 

With a single flap of its wings, the partial destroyed volcano was completely turned to dust. 

Surprising the black coffin, simply remained where it had crashed, with moving an inch. 

The black bird, stared at the coffin, sharply. After a while it used its tough claws to rip it open. But it was of no use as the chains binding the coffin was simply too strong.

The bird willed, and its entire bored blasted in to black flames. The Skies trembled, the Earth shook, and air distorted. 

The bird once again flap its wings, but this time releasing the black flames. The entire vicinity caught on fire, and burned to nothingness. Nothing was left, everything was destroyed if front of the almighty black flame.

Once again the coffin didn’t move an inch, and remained where it had crashed. The ground melted, and the air shattered, but the rage of the black bird was sky high.

“Sea of Flames.” The black bird spoke in an arrogant tone. 

With a single flap it took to the skies. The bird stared at the black coffin with disdain, and descended, leave a trail of black flames in its path, as it charged towards the black coffin.

The air once again distorted, causing minor special tremors and major tornados in the surrounding areas.

The descent of the bird, burned down the very continent that it inhabited. The very continent had burned down to nothingness. The sea was littered with black rocks, and ashes. 

The black bird lifted its head, in pride satisfied with the result. The smoke slowly disappeared, revealing a small piece of land. And on that land was a lacquer black coffin.

The moment the black bird saw this, its face twisted with rage, and it charged towards the black coffin like a mad beast. 

But just before the bird collided into the coffin, a snap was heard. The chain binding the coffin had shattered.

Seeing this the rage of the bird quenched. It slowly landed next to coffin, and snapped it open with its claws.

“Wwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh” A loud cry was heard once the bird opened the coffin. 

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Along with the cry, an insane amount of magical energy was released.

“Such strong ‘Time Magic’.” 

It was the cry of a baby. The black coffin, had a red interior, with soft cushions. Within the coffin was a baby, barely 6 months old. The baby had black hair, with a single strip of white hair in the front. The baby was simply wrapped in a small red towel, and nothing else.

“An infant?” The bird spoke. A sympathetic looked flashed in the bird’s eyes, and disappeared the next second.

The black bird looked at the baby, with an expressionless face. Black flames flickered in and out of existence, from its wings. It was contemplating as to whether to kill the baby, or abandon it. The black bird emitted a black glow, turning the surrounding world into pitch black darkness. 

The darkness slowly lifted. In the place of gigantic black bird, was a woman in her early 30’s. She adorned a black tight robe, with gold trimmings and embroidery. On her black robe, there was a golden embroidery of a bird. She had long lustrous black hair that reached till her knees. Within her endless black hair, occasional strips of golden hair, was visible. 

She was absolutely beautiful. 

Emitting a certain beauty, and surrounding herself in a prideful air, she slowly walked towards the child. Her face which still remained expressionless, flickered for a split second before it returned back to normal. She raised her hand, and pointed her index finger towards the baby. On the tip of finger, black flames danced about. 

But for some reason, she didn’t feel an animosity towards the baby. Normally she hated all forms of lifeform. But in this case something was off. The black flame from her finger disappeared. All of a sudden, the baby’s tiny hands reached for the woman’s slender finger. Both of the baby’s hands clasped onto the finger.

Seeing this the woman, was startled, she even considered burning the baby right then and there. After seeing that baby, merely wanted play, she let of a small chuckle. She who has never laughed for a long, long time had let out a small chuckle. The woman bend down towards the baby, and picked it up. She slowly unwrapped the towel covering the baby.   

“Ohh, that’s definitely a boy.” She remarked. 

From the towel a jade envelope fell. The woman picked up the jade letter, and unsealed it. Inside it there were two letters. The woman randomly picked on up and opened it, to read its content.

“Ell, I’m sorry. Please forgive me and Ell, take care of him. He is-“ The letter barely had one line, and to it wasn’t completed. 

“Ell, where have I heard that name? It sounds like a female’s name.” The woman tried to remember where she had heard the name ‘Ell’.

Just as the woman finished reading the letter, a hidden compartment of the coffin opened, revealing a slender black longsword. 

The woman picked up the sword, and swung it around. It didn’t have anything special about it. The woman held the baby in her right hand and the sword in her left hand.

“Hmph, I’ll keep it until its owner returns.” Snorted the woman. It was unknown whether she spoke about the baby or the sword. She stored the coffin and the black sword in her spatial ring.

Slowly the woman bought the baby towards her chest, and caressed it. Black wings erupted from her back, and she slowly floated up. A faint black light surrounded her and the baby. She instantly vanished into thin air, with the baby.
