Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: A Injured Soul/A Innocent Soul

July 31st 1137

On a dark, somber night lit by the pristine light of the full moon, a tall, dark-skinned man with short but groomed hair, who looked no more than 30, wore a black three-piece suit with his black loafers, and his beautiful wife, whose crystal clear skin gleamed under the moonlight in her red regal dress and black heels, which insinuated her already over-average height for a woman and their son who wore a matching suit with his father and wore a red bow tie to match with his mom were strolling home in the gothic streets of Lemud City, then a sound went off.

Bang!

The frightened boy then turned to his father and saw his father's lifeless body. As the scene got etched into his mind. The boy just looked aimlessly into his father's eyes, watching his father's blood flow onto the road. His mother then reacted quickly but calmly as she wrapped her arms around her son. Flames erupted from her body, but these flames didn't seem to burn her she then manipulated the flames to create a barrier to protect her crying son who looks like there is no light in his eyes, she looks into his eyes as says" You're going to be okay August, You're going to be okay, remember to always smile no matter okay" as the mask assailants open fire doing no damage, then she wrapped all her flames around her son embracing him as one of the men pulled out a briefcase in it laid a sealed artifact with the name Selena Tears having the ability with to remove all warmth to anything it comes into contact with freezing it completely but can only be used once every 6 months with the drawback of also damaging the user as to activate it using their spiritual energy to activate its effects, this was a complete nullification for her powers. As the tear blew a cool breeze capable of freezing the entire city of Lemud, a single young lady would secretly save it from its doom. Caitlyn Rose, who used her flames to subdue the frost on her body and, using her control over her flames to keep the city warm, died as her then clear skin turned a pale blue color, embracing her son surrounded by flames, taking the shape of a phoenix. Hence, they never try to kill the boy escaping into the darkness. The boy, filled with grief, notices one of the men's tattoos on his neck, a 6-pointed star with thick protruding lines forming what looks to be wings, which is the mark of "The Cursed Militia".

Waking from his slumber in quite a humble apartment, though the room lacks personality after freshening up, the young man puts on his undergarments, a white shirt, a waistcoat, and finishes the suit with a black windbreaker and leaves the apartment building to go to work at Lemud City Police Department as their medical consultant

...

The quite eccentric son of Desmond Pendragon, the brother of Leon Pendragon, the head of the Pentagon family, one of the three noble families of the Valerian Empire, ran away from the Pentagon estate. This was quite a regular occurrence and wasn't treated with the utmost panic, but still thoroughly searched for. Meanwhile, in the Dark Lustrian forest, not far from the estate, the young child with blonde hair, green eyes, and fair skin was having his little adventure pretending to be a knight. While enjoying himself, he wondered how far into the forest going into the parts that are marked as dangerous, and while there are various spiritual beasts, curses, and other ailments just existing in their most primal form. Upon realizing where he was, the boy's face had a sense of dread as he ran as fast as possible in a state of panic, trying to leave the area. It alerted a pack of Crimson Mane Wolves, which then cornered the child. Still, due to their twisted personality, their biology changed so that they could feed on the fear and despair of their prey. Hence, they pinned him to the ground before they mauled his body slowly so they could writhe in his suffering. Blinding light erupted out of nowhere as a man with long black hair, a tall, slender but toned build, a black windbreaker, and a red scarf flowing from his neck and a cloak clasped with the head of a golden dragon, the symbol of the House of Pendragon as he is the light subsided the wolves attention drawn to him as he ever so slowly walked toward them, he's glowing body created a small plants and young plants bloom as he then lifts his as he silently said a single word "Verotten" as then a slight then engulfs them as they were reduced to mere bones as beautiful flowers grew from them. He turned to the boy, who was mesmerized by the beauty of how he dispatched the wolves, and asked, "Archer, are you alright?" Then the young man woke up from his fond dream, lamenting that on the day he became enthralled by thaumaturgy in a beautiful flower garden on his estate, as his butler came to tell him his father requires his presence.
