At the end of a long wide street, a large amount of merchants set up stalls to sell items, materials, and even … slaves. A infant - with eyes that resembles a dragon's and small horns that can’t be seen by the naked eye - that can’t even be two months old is crying while being shackled down by chains, similar to his fellow slaves that surround him. A man - around two meters tall - with a pitch-black cloak - that seem to blend with the shadows - is yelling the prices for the different slaves. A woman - so beautiful that with just a glance she could enchant even the most cold-hearted men - walks up to the slave dealer and says [Here is two large gold coins for the Infant with the dragon like eyes] with a sweet calming voice.

[Alright, come into the tent to finish the transfer of ownership] the Slave Dealer said with an artificial , icy-cold voice.

As they enter - including the Infant - the woman remains calm at the sight of the complicated magic circle - that was filled with geometric shape and runes.

[To do the transfer of ownership it will take some blood to...] The Slave Dealer starts to say but was shortly interrupted.

[I know how the process works so can we just start] the beatiful woman said with a slightly annoyed expression.

A small needle pricked the woman’s finger and a single drop of blood formed and fell onto the slave collar of the Infant’s neck. The magic circle start to glow brightly while giving out a dark and gloomy atmosphere, and so the Transfer of Ownership has been completed.

[My child your new name shall be … Aries!!!] the woman said with a bright and motherly voice.

[I have to warn the reason why the In… Aries was a tenth of the price, it was not because he was an infant but because he is cursed with misfortune.] the Slave Dealer said with a cautious tone.

The woman - with Aries in her arms - walks out of the tent and gets engulfed by the crowded street.

Outside of a small mansion, the woman and Aries stands beside a large silver gate that is about 9-meters tall.

[Aries, I am your new mother, Cecilia] Cecilia said as she was entering the mansion.

Inside an eight year old girl rushes down the stairs to welcome her Mother home.

[Mother, Mother, I’ve finished reading… Mother, who is this baby?] The young girl said with excitement.

[Stella, How many times have I told you not to run down the stairs?... Ah, I almost forgot, Stella meet your new baby brother Aries] Cecilia said in calming voice.

[What?! … you do realize that he has a slave collar on his neck, he will be bullied when he starts school] Stella said with a concerned voice.

[It is alright he has such a reliable big sister that will protect him, right?] Cecilia said with a sarcastic tone.

[Wait? … I’m a bit curious what is his race? He is part dragonian, right? ] Stella said full of curiosity.

[I’m not sure, he does has a dragonian’s eye, but the rest it seems to be human] Cecilia says as she starts to pet Aries.

[Stella, shouldn’t you be at school?] Cecilia asked with an icy voice.

[No, since today was just the speech actual class starts tomorrow.] Stella says as she becomes frightened.

[Mama?] Aries cries to Cecilia.

Cecilia soon forgets about Stella for a moment, and soon Cecilia and Stella start playing with Aries.
