In the the depths of a what it seemed to be a forest, trees as big as skyscrapers were everywhere, their trunks were so thick that 20 people could hug the trunks with their arms open and there still would be space left, Light could barely pass through their leaves, leaving the forest in perpetual darkness with a eerie feeling to it.

A grey haired woman was walking through the forest, in her back a bag made of animal skin filled with fruits could be seen. As she was walking she heard a cry not far from where she was, the woman surprised that someone else was this deep inside the forest decided to go check it out.

She soon arrived at a river, she didn't have to look for long to find the origin of the cry she heard, floating down the river, a basket with what appeared to be a baby could be seen. The woman stunned at first immediately jumped into the river to catch the basket, she took the baby in her arms and got out of the water.

"what happened to you little one" she said to the tiny figure in her arms, when all of the sudden a gust of wind came by, unwrapping the cloth that the infant was covered in , leaving his porcelain pinkish skin exposed. The baby was beautiful without a doubt, almost as if he was unblemished, with no flaws, unfortunately he was not actually perfect, he was missing something that funnily enough wouldn’t be noticed by most people at fist glance, however once you gave the baby a more thorough look, you would realize the one and only flaw the baby had, the lack of a True name mark on his chest.

When the woman saw this she immediately thought of putting the baby back into the river and leave without looking back, although this was a cruel thought she couldn’t be blamed, in the ark kingdom which was where the sepan forest (the forest they were currently in) was located in, innominatus (people with no true name) were persecuted and killed along with their families or anyone who helped hide them from the kingdom’s eyes. Just as she was debating whether or not she should leave, the infant grabbed her finger with his little hand, she couldn’t help but sigh

“You really are making this difficult for me huh little one” She said smiling while looking at his handsome head.

A few hours later, in a 2 story house the woman in the forest was sitting in a wooden chair, and in front of her, a bed with a baby in it could be seen.

Meanwhile far from the forest and the woman’s house, in a castle at the top of a mountain, inside a room, a man was sitting behind a desk, the man had a broad shoulders and fierce looking face, he looked to be somewhere in his forties, however those who knew him would know that he was almost 300 years, his name was Bernard and he is the current head of the Stein family. In front of him, Thomas his son was standing, he had just reported to his father what happened with his newly born child and had a somewhat pale face, no matter how old he was, he would always be afraid of his father especially when the latter was angry and right now he was really fuming mad

“You useless son, you couldn’t even make a child without fucking up, if it wasn’t because your brother died I would never hand the position of head of the family to you”

“F-father please calm down, I know this is not really ide-

“Not ideal, you gave birth to a goddamn innoninatus, and you call this not ideal, you better have made this right otherwise don’t ever dream of becoming the family head. Now please tell me that you eliminated that abomination as soon as you saw him”

When Thomas heard his father’s words his face sank even more, he whispered “umm i-i told my men to find a river throw him in”

“YOU WHAT? you fucking idiot, why would you wanna leave evidence, agh well at least tell me that they made sure to kill him before throwing him in a river”

“Actually they didn-“

Before Thomas had finished his words, he was flying in the air, hitting and breaking the walls of the room and the ones next to it, once he was on the ground he heard his father yell

“YOU PIECE OF UTTER GARBAGE DONT LET ME FUCKING SEE YOU BEFORE YOU BRING ME THE DEAD BODY OF THAT ABERRATION THAT YOU FATHERED”
