Within the Ingriss family there is a tradition that stipulates that each newborn must undergo the awakening ceremony in the presence of each adult member of the Ingriss family, whether from the main or secondary house:

The Awakening Ceremony is a ceremony where each newborn must be placed in the middle of the field of swords containing the swords of the previous patriarchs and those of the other Ingriss who have made a name for themselves on the continent.

And during the ceremony the Patriarch must deploy his personal power from the divine stigma to be able to know what will be the potential future gifts that the children will have in the future.

3 MONTHS LATER:

At the Royal Palace:

While Raphael was walking down the hall with Hallan, Raphael began to think:

"I think Lucas' awakening ceremony will be soon, I think I should get ready already"

Then Raphael said to Hallan:

"Hallan, you can send invitations for Lucas' awakening ceremony to the 2nd head of the secondary houses and to my Sister Arya the Captain of the Royal Guard and tell her to return to the capital now and leave the command of the Eastern Front temporarily to the captain of the Order of the Knights of the Phoenix"

Then Hallan replied:

"At your command, your highness"

Then the 2 headed to a meeting with other nobles.

The Royal Palace is a huge building with white walls decorated with gold with a huge garden of flowers of all species and a sparkling courtyard.

Arya Raphael's sister is a slim but well-built woman with short white hair and red eyes and she is the captain of the royal guard and she has reached the stage of Sixftera (6 wings) and she could be considered a great swordsman and she can be considered a young woman thanks to her physique but she is in her thirties.

She is deployed on the Eastern Front where the Kingdom of Ingrissia is in conflict with the Solaris Empire, one of the 3 greatest powers on the continent against which it is trying to retake the lands that their ancestors lost in the past.

The Order of the Phoenix is one of the 5 orders created by Raphael and Captain Daymond who is at the head of this order, who is an intelligent man with great mastery of the art of the sword which allowed him to reach this rank of captain. The phoenix knights have a red and orange uniform reminiscent of flames and they are equipped with red armor with wings at the shoulder level with a cape having red and flame patterns.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER:

In Queen Arianne's apartments:

"Go ahead your majesty you can do it" said Arianne's servant, Jasmine while crouching down holding out her arm smiling at little Lucas who was starting to move alone on all fours and said

"I knew that children of the royal lineage grow faster than normal but I haven't always gotten used to that" she said with an incredibly sad face. Then Arianne started laughing and said while trying to console her:

"don't worry you'll get used to it"

And Arianne said with a smiling face:

"Maybe we can take a little walk in the courtyard since Lucas has already reached 3 months and it's also been 3 months since I saw my daughter"

Then Jasmine answered while standing up:

"At your command your highness, I was also preparing a mat and a dinner basket to have a picnic"

"Go on Jasmine let's get ready" said Arianne very happily

Then Queen Arianne wore a light green dress and a straw hat and then she made Prince Lucas wear a small hat to cover him from the sun and then she took Lucas in her hands and headed towards the courtyard

Arriving in the courtyard Arianne and Jasmine looked for a place in the courtyard under a tree that has magnificent greenery

Then Jasmine spread the mat and said with a smile:

"Please settle down, your highness"

Then Arianne settled down on the mat and took the air.

And Lucas having gone out for the first time his red eyes were amazed by observing around him and starting to be excited and wanted to observe and touch everything

So Arianne left Lucas and enjoyed the picnic while chatting and laughing with Jasmine

While the 2 women were chatting and Lucas was discovering the outside, Arianne began to hear a voice getting closer shouting:

"Mother, Mother, here you are"

And a small silhouette approached running and being close to Arianne the little person jumped on her and began to give her lots of kisses and Arianne giving her lots of hugs said:

"Layna my princess I missed you so much during these 3 months without you"

So Lucas having become afraid with the approach of Layna instinctively hid behind Jasmine and observed Layna from the corner of his eye

So Layna felt that she was being observed and looked around her and saw little Lucas and was amazed and said to her mother while being excited:

"It's him, it's him my little brother"

Then Arianne took Lucas in her arms and said smiling:

"Yes here is your little brother Lucas"

Then Layna was amazed and her red eyes began to shine.

Layna Ingriss the first child of the union of Arianne and Raphael, she is a talented girl aged 4 years old having already reached the stage of ftera (1 wing), she has black hair like her father and fantastic red eyes and it was said that she was destined to be a great knight like her grandmother Paternal, the former matriarch of the family

Jasmine the servant close to Arianne is a woman with blond hair and yellow eyes and small in size.

So Layna wanting to spend more time with Lucas and his mother said:

"Jasmine can you braid my hair"

And Jasmine replied:

"With pleasure your highness, please sit here in front of me"

After Jasmine finished the princess' braids.

Layna said while smiling looking at Lucas:

"What do you think Lucas is your sister beautiful"

So Lucas let out a smile and following his smile all 3 girls were amazed and all said:

"How CUTE he is!!!!!! »

And Layna said looking at Lucas with a smile:

"I hope you can make the same impression on Dayvon, Lucas"

And a few moments later Layna made a flower bracelet and put it around Lucas' wrist and said with a face looking peaceful with a small smile:

"I will protect you all my life Lucas, and I will become stronger to protect you from the bad guys my brother"

Then Arianne let out a small smile as if she was reassured by Layna's words

A FEW HOURS LATER:

"Phwwuuuuuu, these long meetings with these unreliable nobles annoy me to a point, I just want to dismiss them and place deserving nobles" Said Raphael with a tired look while leaving the meeting room with Hallan

Then Hallan looked at him while being also tired and said:

"You're right, they are here just to bother us and the majority is useless"

"I will support you if you wish to destroy these useless houses that are there only for their own interest without bringing anything good"

And still while walking Raphael said:

"Let's hope that one day we can do it"

And just a few moments later still walking Raphael and Hallan felt a powerful threatening aura around the palace.

Then Raphael suddenly got very angry and said with a face full of rage:

"That damn flying mutt is back"

Then Raphael said to Hallan:

"I'll take care of him and you go send the letters you have to send and also temporarily bring back Dayvon from the family academy"

"At your command your highness" replied Hallan

In a cave in the basement of the field in a secret room:

Raphael stepped forward with a face full of rage and released all his aura and said

"You're finally back you giant mutt" he said looking at a huge black dragon with lots of scales covering its body and a long body. Then the giant dragon said looking at Raphael:

"I came because I felt that interesting things will happen soon and also attend the awakening ceremony"

"And also be nicer to me don't forget that it is thanks to me that the Ingriss family has managed to stay standing until now because I assisted you during the period when your family was greatly weakened"

Then Raphael looked at him with a killer face and keeping his hand on his sword.
