"WAAHHH!" 

Shit, shit, shit! W-What's going on. Oh right, I'm being reborn. Woo, then... am I safe now? Thought Ezekiel as he looked around. He noticed a pretty woman holding him, she wore a maid's suit and was currently holding him in her arms. He noticed what looked like an odd scar on her forehead that had a faint lizard like resemblance. It however, looked oddly pleasant on her pretty oval shaped face, as if it was born alongside her. 

As the maid heard him scream she nodded her head and spoke, "Yu vabi, jelu va de suro levy." as she said this she walked up to a young woman who was laying on an ample bed who looked to be in her early twenties, she was covered in beads of sweat across her extremely alluring face, next to her was a robust man who had sharp eyes along with handsome looks, he was currently holding the woman's hand while sitting on the edge of the bed. 

Being in the maids arms he was about to be handed to who he most likely expected to be his mother, but Ezekiel was busy swimming through his memories trying to remember what language the maid had spoken in just now. As he finally recalled it he came back to his senses and noticed he was being stared at by four eyes above him. He saw a young extremely pretty face with silky black hair and guessed she was his mother, then he looked to the man beside her and saw a handsome young man who had sharp golden eyes that pierced into his soul seeming to be examining him. His dark hair with golden eyes made an attractive combination. 

I hit the jackpot! I'm gonna be a sexy beast! Hahaha! Unknowingly, while thinking this, Ezekiel made a small giggle. 

"Hahah, my second son! He seems to know he has hit jackpot!" said the man in a firm voice neither too loud nor too quiet while laughing. 

"Adon, what should we name our son? I like Zadon." said the woman while looking at Adon. 

"Naima, I have already chosen a name even before he was born, and now that I see him I know it's just the right fit!" said Adon with a smile and shining eyes. 

"Ohh? Come out with it then." replied the woman with expectancy in her eyes. 

"Look here boy! You shall be named..." said the man, purposely making his wife even more expectant and even the maid that was standing to the side couldn't help but scoot a bit closer. 

As Ezekiel was laying in his mother's embrace while his parents talked he looked around and saw he was in a wide room that had few things in it. Besides the ample bed there were a few drawers and a table with four chairs. On the ceiling there was an odd symbol that looked like a dragon's head with its eyes giving off light. Although the room didn't stand out too much it was pleasant and quiet. A bit of light entered from an average sized window, but it had a curtain that blocked almost all the light from coming in. As he heard his father mention him he turned to look at him. 

"Ted! This shall be your name! Just imagine, Ted the conqueror! I can already see his greatness! Hahaha!" as Adon said this he seemed to be lost in a trance with his arms folded and smiling, staring at a wall, likely imagining what he had just said. 

As soon as Adon said the first word everyone, even Ezekiel-err Ted was stuck in a trance... 

W..what? as Ezekiel heard his soon to be name he was frozen in place, even time seemed to freeze before his eyes. He couldn't imagine himself with such a name while trying to conquer the world. Unintentionally he and his mother were staring at each other, unable to process the information. 

At the same time, the maid was in a very perplexed situation. She was sweating buckets while clenching her teeth and pinching her stomach. She was about to burst in laughter, but if she let it out who knows how she'd be punished. Finally, unable to hold it all in, some air rushed out of her that was being forced to stay inside, because of this it made it seem as though she had sputum stuck in her throat and made a gross sound eco in the fairly empty room. 

"CRUGHH-" shocked she rapidly covered her mouth. She stared at her feet, unable to face her masters. As a maid she could never be disrespectful in any way as it was a sin worse than death. 

Shocked by the odd sound that resounded in the room Adon and Naima soon came back to their senses. Looking around they saw the young maid standing on one side and staring down. They then looked at the baby and looked at each other once more. Their eyes seem to speak for themselves as they seemed to say.. 

What was that? 

Since they didn't think a highly trained maid would be the source of it they blamed it on the baby and shrugged it off. 

Damn it! Damn it! I almost messed up! The heavens have smiled upon me! Hahaha... Thought the maid as she forcefully laughed when she saw her Emperor and Empress didn't give it much thought. 

"Adon...you're... you jest, right?" said Naima slowly not knowing how to interpret her words. It was too much of a shock, her husband would very rarely joke in serious matters. But her heart calmed back down when she heard the next words. 

"Hahaha! I got you! Alright boy, look here for it's an important matter. Although you don't understand anything I'm saying right now, you can definitely understand emotions. A name defines a person and it stands atop your accomplishments once you turn to dust and leave this world! Therefore boy, your name must be full of vigor, courage, leadership and it must be divine. " as Adon said this his voice started getting softer by the end. He stared at his son as he also stared back.

Naima and the maid couldn't help but be stunned by Adon's words. He seemed to have given it much thought. Comparing him with what he had said earlier he seemed to be a completely different person. 

"Boy, you shall be named Amory. Amory is pleasant to the ear and it'll make people underestimate you. In this world you will need leadership, for not everything can be done alone. Vigor, for strength is everything in this world and without it, your loved ones won't stand a chance if you don't have the strength to protect them. Courage, without courage you can't be a leader nor use your strength to its fullest. Finally, there's divine. You're a son of heaven, only those blessed can mature under the watch of their enemies." as Adon said all this Ezekiel couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It seemed as though his father knew something or expected something to happen in the near future. Adon just seemed to stare at him as if placing his hopes and expectations in him. 

Was being born in this world me hitting jackpot or meeting a catastrophe. But Amory huh.. it's actually pretty unique. Guess I'll keep it, what's my surname though. Thought Amory as he processed everything that was currently happening. 

"Adon.. is something wrong? Why did you say all that?" asked Naima, also confused by Adon's sudden words. He most definitely knows something I don't for him to be like this. I'll ask more when we're alone. She thought, as she glimpsed at the maid. Feeling her glimpse, the maid was brought back from her daze and immediately felt her heart race up again. But she couldn't help but still think about her Emperor's words and her Empress's questions. 

Will the Ryu Empire face a future peril? But what can fight against them? Unless...?! No! It's impossible...! Lost in her thoughts, the maid started shaking and sweating, she thought those beasts were just legends and had vanished from this world. However, no one had the time to check on her as Adon was focused on Naima and Amory. 

"Worry not my dear, for what's coming will come and we shall meet it when it does. No point worrying when you can't avoid it." said Adon with a slight smile and a firm voice seeming to be serious with what he said. "Therefore, why don't we speak more about it later, this is a joyous event after all." as Adon said this he took Amory in his hands who seemed to be in a dazed state and started whirling his hand in the air. He changed personalities so quickly it left Naima thinking if he had gone crazy. 

POOF 

Hmm, guess this is fine.. Thought Amory as he was suddenly dressed in a one-piece suit just the right size. It was smooth and soft and kept him at a warm temperature. He wasn't surprised by this, as it was something fairly simple, and anyone with a bit of experience with energy could do it. 

"Silene, I'll heal myself. Just take care of all this mess." said Naima to the maid who had been standing to one side. As Amory heard this he looked towards his mother. 

"Y-Yes my lady!" hurriedly answered Silene, finally being able to be of some use and could it serve as a distraction for herself. She needed to calm her mind from all the things she had heard. 

As Silene was folding the blankets Naima sat with her slender feet folded and closed her enchanting blue eyes. As soon as she did she started giving off a faint green glow for a few seconds before turning back to normal and opening her eyes once more. Getting off the bed she leaned towards Amory and gave him a peck on his forehead. "Now that I look at you without any distractions, you actually got my eyes haha" she said with a warming laughter. 

Hmm? That was quick, did she even heal? Or was she not harmed at all? Amory was surprised, when he had been born in these types of worlds before, his mother from that life would need a few hours to heal and sometimes they even passed away. 

"Hmm? Damn, you're right. What'd he get from me then?" replied Adon as he looked closely at Amory. "Hmm... aha! Mmm..no that's not it, we both have dark hair afterall *sigh*. Seems nothing is apparent right now." Adon couldn't help but sigh and suddenly remembered. 

"That's right. Silene, where's Martin? He doesn't want to meet his brother?" asked Adon after realizing his first son hadn't arrived after all this time. 

"Answering to Emperor, young master Martin was training in the Sacred Beast Chambers before I arrived here." said Silene politely with a gentle and clear voice. She seemed to calm back down after small crisis. 

"Hmm, I see. Then, I'll go look for him myself. I must speak with him. Naima, after you get cleaned up come join us, and Silene I hope you can follow instructions and get him ready for the ceremony while we occupy a few things." said Adon while walking over to Silene and handed Amory to her who was just turning towards who ever spoke as if he actually understood what they were saying. 

"Emperor Adon can rest assured, young master Amory will be in good care while Emperor and Empress are away." replied Silene while grabbing Amory. Looking at him she saw he was already staring at her with his deep blue eyes. 

I have an older brother huh, wonder what it's like outside though. As Amory thought this he saw his parents leave the room, when his parents opened the door Amory noticed a door across the room he was in and a red carpet, it seemed to be a hallway. 

"Well then, let me finish getting all this sorted out and we'll head out together young master Amory, I'll feed you and then prepare you for your ceremony." as Silene said this she whirled her hand a bit and a woman who looked just like her appeared out of nowhere. She was formed out of air and swiftly folded the remaining blankets and carried them over. As soon as she arrived Silene stretched her left hand and the blankets were sucked into a red ring she had on her index finger. After doing so her 'twin' also disappeared. 

Watching all this, Amory wasn't too surprised as this was also not too complicated, at least for him. As long as he could cultivate a bit he'd be able to do it as well. 

"Alright, let's go young master Amory." said Silene as she walked towards the door. She couldn't help but remember her masters words from before. What must come shall come... but what is? Is it really...that? Is it linked with the ceremony?... 

Well then, about time I get a breath of fresh air, and this ceremony must be some sort of party I assume? But that is extremely rare in these worlds... guess I'm special hehe... Thought Amory as he looked towards the door, yet his sight started getting blurry and his eyes were getting heavier with every step Silene took. 

Damn..n-no..must..stay...aw-.!
