It was early in the morning when a young woman with a child-like face walked into a dimly lit room. On the floor of the room lay all manner of books dropped all over the place and in the middle of the room was a cot. In it lay a young dark child who was turning and tossing in his dream.
Just look at his highness dreaming. What sweet dreams he must have thought the lady.
She slowly picked up the child and held him close to his heart. You must grow big quickly and protect us from the big bad goddess the lady spoke to the boy.
The child after sensing it was no longer on its bed opened its eyes and looked at the lady. It remembered her as the lady who always gave him food. He started moving his hands towards her breasts and squeezed them signaling it wanted its food.
“Such a naughty boy,” said the lady while kissing the boy on its nose. She removed her breast and brought the baby’s head nearer to which the baby responded by suckling the breast. The white liquid was as sweet as always thought the boy as it continued sucking the breast.
Soon the baby had drunk to its full and the lady laid the baby on her shoulder and gently patting his back. The baby then responded by burping on the lady’s back.
Suddenly a wall of water fell where the baby had burped followed by a fire which then dried her back.
The baby was intrigued by this and started clapping its hand signaling for more of that.
“You are always interested in magic aren’t you my wittwe cute baby waby,” said the Lady.
“Seriously Lyoss when will you stop speaking like that. Do you know how nuts, it drives me,” said a second lady as she entered the room.
Lyoss who was suddenly caught in action become embarrassed and was unable to face the lady who had just entered.
“Just look at how cute the wittwe baby is,” said Lyoss.
“Just forget about it. How is his majesty doing today?” asked the lady.
“For your information Minerva, his majesty is doing just fine,” replied Lyoss. “However, he still seems very interested in magic as always.”
“That is to be expected since he is, after all, him,” replied Minerva. “Just take him to you know who for his lessons to continue.”
“Can’t I teach him?” asked Lyoss.
“What will happen if he devours your magic. That is something even he cannot bring you from,” replied Minerva.
“But can I be with him during his lessons?” Lyoss protested further.
“Just do as you like,” said Minerva.
Lyoss walked out of the room while carrying the child and started walking up the flight of stairs. While walking she met several people who she greeted and she noticed how bright the sun was that morning.
Due to Lyoss fast walking the child found her speed to be too much and it squeezed its little fingers across Lyoss index finger. Lyoss noticed this and squeezed back his little hand gently while also slowing down her pace to the point of comfort for the little child.
Lyoss then finished walking up the stairs and reached on top where she found a large brown oak door. The door was engraved with various magic sigils and circles and they were so powerful they were said to have killed a low-level god who tried to break into the room.
She walked up the door and looked at one of the larger sigils. It was a pentagram circle with five unknown symbols beside each triangle an eye in the middle of the pentagram. She didn’t know what the meaning behind each symbol was or even know its mechanism.
The child looked at the pentagram and placed its hand on the symbol on the middle of the pentagram which caused it to glow red and its colour spread to the other sigils on the door like veins on the hand. After all the red-like vein symbol had uncovered the whole door only then did it open slowly.
The doors opened to reveal a large audience hall behind it. There were only five chairs with one in the middle and two chairs on the right and the left of the middle chair. Sitting on the middle chair was a large man but rather a large beast-like man with two horns on his head. The left horn on his temple was half broken and the other had signs of breaking two. What caused on to break she knew the answer but respectfully declined to ever bring up the story in front of him. Besides the chairs, there were eight pillars four on the left and on the right which was also evenly spaced. The pillars themselves had the same sigils as the body but the sigils on the pillars were ever glowing and had an aura of otherworldly about them.
Stolen story; please report.
She slowly walked towards the man and after reaching him she handed the baby while relying upon everything that had transpired that morning about the baby.
“Ever healthy are your little one,” the man spoke while lifting the baby.
“Excuse me but can I stay and look at the magic lessons together with the baby,” said Lyoss.
“That’s not a problem you can stay Lyoss,” said the man.
The man then signaled for Lyoss to for him where he led them even further into the infinite hall and after some few minutes, they came to a stop. In front of them were six pillars arranged circularly and inside the pillars was a large black glowing orb that radiated an aura of despair and agony.
They walked inside the pillars and came to a stop where the man took the baby's hand and placed it on the orb. Several blue hand-like features appeared from within the orb and grabbed the little hand which was pulled inside the orb.
“Confirm status,” the man spoke to the orb.
A black-like semi-transparent sheet appeared in front of them and on it was listed the status of the baby.

After checking the boy’s status, a smile could be seen on the man’s face.
“To think that you have already surpassed me while so young. Truly deserving of your race my liege. We must now prepare you for your role in the coming battle. A lot of people will die by your hand but that doesn’t matter so long as we kill the goddess. We are all waiting for you,” said the man.
The blue hands released the baby’s hand and retraced back into the black orb which cracked a little where the hand had been placed. The man handed back the baby to Lyoss where it felt the sense of security and tightly latched itself near the breasts.
The two of them then walked outside of the hall into the field which was surrounded by trees shedding their blue leaves. The field looked like a stairway into paradise with the gentle wind blowing across their faces while also carrying the falling leaves.
“Lyoss, do you know that everything here was created by his majesty before the war. I remember sitting down here with him and a few other gods while slowly watching the sunset. His majesty used to play the flute. One he played it so well we fell asleep for days. If only things hadn’t gone the way they, had you would have enjoyed his late-night performances,” the man said.
He had an air of regret about the way things were right now because he seemed distant. He never spoke too many words but he always seemed as if he was blaming himself. Maybe his silent solitude was his way of redemption but she didn't know so she never discussed anything of the past with him.
“He gave up everything for us and as a result, he was judged by heaven and hell itself. He paid the ultimate price for all of us and now where are alive while he suffers. We look for the demons below us but they are above us,” the man said while sighing.
“Memento Vectus,” the man said.
There was a sudden flare of white flames which spread from where they were standing. The flame went consuming all the falling leaves and vanished after reaching the large tree with leaves and left behind writings in the air which the man read.
“So, it looks li they have already found us. They will most like be here by tonight,” the man continued, “Lyoss take the baby back to the hall and wait for me there.”
