With a bright sky and a small breeze.

All the adults of the Ingriss family as well as the entire main Ingriss family had gathered in a place called the Shrine of Blades.

The Sanctuary of Blades is a sword field where all the heads of families of the past left their blades that they used during their reign and of course the Ingriss who were the most powerful and having made a name for themselves on the continent had the right to let their blades rest there.

While the breeze blew through the Sanctuary, Raphael sitting on the throne of the Patriarch who was just on the edge of the sanctuary then stood up and began to give off an aura of elegance.

And then Raphael, standing, planted his sword on the ground near the sanctuary and holding only the handle of his sword and with a loud voice while having the wind passing through his hair he said:

"I declare the beginning of this awakening ceremony"

And after his words he activated the power of his divine stigma and his eyes became golden and a breeze of wind rose behind him and 8 angel wings surrounded by a golden aura materialized above his head.

While Arya with an amazed face exposed by the wind breeze began to have an enthusiastic smile and said:

"One day I manage to stand up to you in a duel my brother"

And meanwhile, Raphael's mother and former head of the family let out a little smile and said:

"You have grown well my son"

Anna Ingriss, the former matriarch of the Ingriss family was a woman who was of great beauty and had white hair and red eyes.

It is thanks to her that the Ingriss family began to reveal itself by being the only woman and the only person to have reached the stage of SeenFtera (7wings) within the Ingriss for several generations and she began the project of reconquest of the lost territories being accompanied by Valthor who had recognized her worthy of being his mistress.

She spent most of her life on the battlefield and having reached the stage of SeenFtera her offspring could have the ability to inherit the power of the family stigma so her place as head of the family was little claimed and all those who sought to claim it, she eliminated them all without remorse.

During her reign she did everything possible to restore the power of the kingdom of Ingrissia within the continent and the domination of the Ingriss within the kingdom and was known as the QUEEN OF DEATH, because all those who wanted to go against her, were eliminated without remorse.

But 15 years ago when Raphael had just turned 20, Valthor who was until then a black dragon having only a horn with black eyes and long legs and wings with red borders began to evolve thanks to all the battles he had with Anna.

But being just a young dragon who never grew up with his peers he didn't really know what to do during his draconian evolution so he ended up losing his mind and suddenly headed towards the kingdom.

While Rapahël who had just reached the QuaFtera stadium (4 wings) accompanied by his big brother and Hallan walked in a small forest not far from the castle to empty their heads but they all found themselves in front of Valthor who did not have his whole head and then Valthor began to attack them.

Then Raphaël and his brother accompanied by Hallan then began to defend themselves as best they could but they did not have the necessary abilities to stop Valthor, so Raphael's older brother decided to sacrifice himself by taking an attack of the dragon in full force to protect Raphael and ended up dying and while Raphael was going to end up being killed in turn, he heard the voice of a person screaming in the air:

"VALTHOR!!!!!!! "

Then Anna landed on Valthor's back by putting a powerful kick on his scales, then she drew her sword and began to cut him from all sides by destroying his scales and all this to succeed in making him come back to his senses and she went so far as to cut a wing of Valthor.

After slitting her wings she noticed Raphael's presence and immediately went to him.

Raphael, for his part, had suffered several injuries and lost a lot of blood so Anna told him:

"Hold on my son I'll take care of him so take Hallan and ..... "

At the moment she saw Hallan who had lost consciousness and telling Raphael to take him and evacuate, but while she was talking she suddenly saw the corpse of her eldest son lying even on the ground and then with an empty face and filled with anger she said:

"Is he the one who did that? She said, looking at Valthor who was regenerating and while unconsciously releasing a murderous aura that suffocated all the surrounding air

Then Raphael in a trembling voice and almost tears in his eyes said:

"He wanted to protect me mother"

So after her words she stood up and filled with anger she took her sword and with a threatening look and a threatening voice she said, while pointing her sword at the dragon:

"I'm going to kill you you giant lizard"

After she activated her personal power and her eyes turned golden and a red aura surrounded her.

Then suddenly the wind began to blow and his hair had moved towards the direction of the wind.

Then Anna clutched her sword in her hand and covered it with a fiery red aura and with a quick movement Anna launched a vertical attack and suddenly found herself in front of Valthor's face who had just finished regenerating

And she was preparing to cut him into 2 but Valthor reacted immediately and against Anna's attack with her claws and a dazzling explosion took place in contact with Anna's blade and the explosion had set fire to all the vegetation close to them and in an excess of madness Valthor began to chain spells but Anna managed to cut them easily and while Valthor was distraught Anna rushed towards Valthor and with a flexible movement and cut his left wing and she also took the opportunity to cut Valthor's eye.

Meanwhile, Raphael watched his mother from afar and said:

"I better understand her nickname as a battlefield dancer"

Because Raphael witnessed the way Valthor, the legendary black dragon was powerless in the face of his mother who chained the attacks with great speed and great fluidity by cutting Valthor from everywhere

While Anna had just cut Valthor's second wings.

Under a breeze of wind accompanied by leaves and under an orange sunset, she stopped her assaults and looked at Valthor on the verge of death without her wings she said:

"Prepare to die you clebard"

But wanting to deliver the final blow, suddenly powerful lightning began to surround Valthor's body which meant that he had entered the final phase of evolution.

But Anna, ignoring it, began to rush towards Valthor but suddenly Valthor's tail, which had become longer and pointed, pierced Anna at the trunk and broke two of her ribs.

So Anna surprised by this began to spit blood from her mouth and when Valthor withdrew his tail from her Valthor slapped Anna with one of his hands propelled her through several trees around

Anna crossed several trees and had received several serious injuries.

Then Valthor, still unconscious, gradually approached her, passing through the burned trees.

Raphael, seeing this scene, began to run as fast as he could towards his mother shouting:

"Stop that, not that!!!!!!!! » several times and out loud

So Anna, with her face covered in blood and having also suffered several injuries, no longer had the strength to lift even the little finger started laughing to feel sorry for her fate and with a smile on her lips she said:

"So here's your real form Valthor"

While staring at Valthor, who had become bigger, and having 2 large horns that grew on his forehead, with red eyes and thicker and pointed scales all over his body with longer wings and sharper claws.

"If only I had been able to become a little stronger by focusing only on my growth rather than on the kingdom, I think it could have been the best fight of my life"

"I don't regret anything," she said, with a disappointed look and a smile on her lips, before losing consciousness

So Valthor, began to approach Anna, but he suddenly lost consciousness because he had just finished his evolution

So Raphael arrived while running next to his mother and began to stop the bleeding of her wounds with his aura before carrying her and said:

"Hold on mother I will take us back to the castle immediately" he said with tears in his eyes, so Anna said in a weak voice:

"Don't worry my son, don't forget who I am"

So Raphael with tears in her eyes said:

"don't talk mother, you must keep your strength and activate your stigma to slow the bleeding"

So Anna said:

"Okay my son", So she activated her stigma and said again in a weak voice:

"Don't blame Valthor for today, he wasn't himself, don't forget everything he has done for our family for centuries"

So Raphael closed his face and pursed his lips and said:

"Don't say anything more mother"

At the same time Raphael hurried to run towards the royal palace and upon his arrival he shouted:

"Quickly gather immediately all the mages and all the healers of the capital and even the kingdom if necessary", while carrying his mother on his back.

Then he brought the dying Anna to his suite and subsequently all the mages, priests as well as high-ranking healers arrived and began to treat her directly.

After Raphael's arrival the whole castle was in chaos due to the queen's state of health.

So while the queen was in a coma all the noble parasites of the kingdom began to increase their profit and power in the absence of the queen and the news of the death of the crown prince.

2 MONTHS AFTER:

While the queen has still not woken up Raphael, to try to protect what his mother has devoted her life to building, her little sister as well and his 2 little brothers, Raphael decided to ascend the throne because Queen Anna was no longer in a position to lead and was the only one who was able to govern because the previous queen had eliminated all the members of the Ingriss lineage whether from near or far before taking power to ensure that only her lineage ascend the throne.

The nobles thought that Raphael would be easy to manipulate, but the opposite happened:

-Raphael destroyed all the old orders of knights outside the royal guard and created 5 new specific knight orders

-He asked all the nobles accountable at all times, whether it was on their finances and their way of leading

-He always kept an eye on all the nobles by deploying knights on their territory

-He did not abandon the project to reconquer the kingdom's original lands

Maybe he couldn't kill or execute the noble parasites yet because they didn't have much influence yet

But Raphael did not forget the idea of one day getting rid of his nobles and hopes that his future offspring will do so.

4 MONTHS LATER:

During an evening when the stars illuminated the sky, giving the view to a magnificent sky.

Raphael went to his mother's room and arrived in front of the door Raphael then felt the presence of a second person in the room, near his mother's bed.

So Raphaël abruptly drew his sword and entered the room at a speed and when he arrived in the room he saw a boy looking like a teenager with white hair and 2 horns on his head sharing his mana with his mother and staying at the bedside of his bed.

Then Raphael approached and placed his sword under the boy's neck and said with a suspicious look:

"Who are you? "

Then the young boy raised his head and looked at Raphael and said:

"Forgive me Raphael," he said with a sad look and tears in his eyes

Raphael looked at the boy and noticed the purple eyes of the young man with a dragon tattoo on his neck and said with a threatening look:

"Is it you Valthor? "

So the young boy lowered his head

After that Raphael wanted to cut him on the spot but having barely reached the stage of FivFtera (5 wings) he knew that he was no size so he said:

"Get out of here now"

So Valthor left without saying anything with an air of guilt and jumped through the window before turning into a dragon and leaving the palace

Then Raphael knelt on the edge of his mother's bed and said:

"You will see mother I will become strong and protect everyone"

"So get well soon please," he said while holding back from crying but ended up shedding a few tears.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Anna Ingriss had become one-eyed having lost the vision of her right eye and also she had lost the ability to walk she moved mostly in a wheelchair and her aura core was seriously damaged because of the hole that Valthor had made she could only activate her stigma for a few moments only.

So attending Raphael's performance she was proud to see how powerful he became and also she was happy and proud to see his 2 cadets having already reached the FivFtera stage which was rare at the time where Valthor protected the kingdom and looking at Arya she said with a smile:

"Even my only daughter has reached the SixFtera stage"

Then she looked in front of her and said with a small smile:

"I can't wait to see what capacity my grandson will awaken"

Then at the same time Ariane entered the Sanctuary of the Blades carrying Lucas, with the sun illuminating them she said:

"Don't worry my son mom is here"

But Lucas turned his attention to the Sword Field that he began to look at with an air of wonder and said:

"Gougougahhhh" with a smile
