The Caelmont kingdom was restless. Heavy rain poured from the sky.Beyond the loud scream of storm, a faint and painful groan echoed through the chamber. The women present hurried around in panic, each doing her best to help.On the bed, a lady was drenched in sweat and tears. Her face was twisted with pain as she struggled to breathe. With all her strength, she pushed, trying her hardest to bring her baby into the world.

Outside the chamber stood her husband, the strongest and most loyal Commander of King Riaum, Lucien. Yet now, the strength meant nothing. His face was pale and his hands and legs trembled as he knelt in prayer.In a broken whisper, he pleaded with the gods,“Dear lords … please bless us. Please protect my wife…. and our child.”After losing their first child, the baby was their only hope.
