Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Accident

In a dim, gloomy, cave-like environment, a couple is seen talking to each other.

 "Are you sure we're doing the right thing, Makdie? If they find them, they* will die without doubt."

 The white-cloaked male said to the pale-faced woman, his expression concerned.

‎"I know it's dangerous to let them go alone just a day after they were born. It pains me to part with them right after they came to the world, but it'd pain me even more if they grew up in the goddamn place." 

Said the woman with a pale but devastatingly beautiful face.‎

‎After opening up a tiny crack in what seemed like a barrier, but also like a misty space, they sent out two newly born children into a spacetime node.

 "Go, children, go explore the world and wait for us. We have given you guys the best things we can offer. Be free like the wind". Tears were streaming down Makdie's face when she uttered those words. Ski hugged his wife gently in silence.

‎‎Space and Time are two distinct elements of existence that are supreme by themselves, but together, even more special. SpaceTime is everywhere, but at the same time, extremely elusive.‎‎In a spacetime turbulence, two children are seen, wrapped up in what looks like a cocoon. Two children who don't even look like they're a day old, but strangely enough, they held each other's hands tightly, maybe by instinct, who knows. ‎‎After a while, Spacetime warped, and the cocoon couldn't hold on any longer; their tender bodies were directly exposed to the unfriendly surroundings. The turbulent energy born from the combination of Space and Time surrounded and bombarded them. ‎‎What was strange was that their tender bodies were like sponges, absorbing everything they had to offer. Mysteriously, their two bodies, linked by their tiny arms, complemented and separated the two extreme energies, each absorbing one. ‎‎Spacetime warped again, and the two children could not hold on to each other, so they were separated across space.‎‎Acsii is a small village in the Magna state. It is located at a rather far end of the State. Being in the midst of many mountains, Acsii can avoid the attention of everyone easily.

Near a stream, a little female child who looked a bit older than five and an old man are seen with a fishing line, trying to catch some fish.

 "Grandpa, I said, let's go a bit upstream, there's really nothing here to look forward to." 

said the little girl clothed in a blue gown. "Besides, there's a lot of mud here. Let's go upstream, where it is rocky before my new dress gets covered in mud," 

The little girl complained endlessly.

‎"You... Aiyaaaa, you insisted on wearing that to the stream. I couldn't stop you, and now you're afraid of getting it dirty?" the old man with a grey hat clapped back. ‎‎After a whole 30 minutes of back-and-forth nagging by both sides, they finally agreed to move a bit upstream. 

"Say, little girl... You refused to follow your friends to the Chief's daughter's birthday ceremony, even after making me buy you a new dress for the ceremony, only to come and disturb me while I am trying to catch fish." 

The old man kept complaining as they moved upstream.

"Grandpa, look, there's something in the water." 

The girl pointed to the stream. The old man was shocked to see a child floating on the water.

 'Why is there a baby in the stream, and why hasn't he drowned yet?' the old man wondered.

‎"Grandpa, look! His eyes are flashing with light!"

 The female child screamed out.

‎In a bit, the old man jumped into the stream to retrieve the child. When his hands touched him, he suddenly slowed down a lot. As he fully held the baby in his arms, the child closed his eyes and fell asleep before the man felt normal again. And at that moment, he realized the child was naked, so he quickly brought him out and wrapped him up with his cloak. ‎"Grandpa, can we take him home?" 

The girl child asked.

 "Yes, we should. I'm just wondering who'd throw away such a beautiful child into the stream, and from the looks of it, he was flowing downstream, which means it must be from the upper section of this water. You don't know, there are actually powerful animals at the upper section of this stream towards the stream source, which is why we don't go there."

 The man muttered.

 "You mean we're going home now? But we haven't caught any fish yet," the girl echoed. 

"Let's go, we'll buy from the market, this child needs a bath and sleep," said the old man with a slight chuckle.

‎"Grandpa, why is his hair not black? And why is his skin not like our own?" the child kept asking question after question as they walked into the distance. ‎‎On a snowy mountain, a male bear was coming back from a successful hunt. After a successful hunt, the white furred beast was coming home to its cave when it encountered a baby lying naked on the cold ground. The bear surprisingly spoke. 

"Why is there a human child here?" 

The bear looked on, confused. 'Should I kill it?' it also thought. 'And why does he look like he's there, but also like he's not there, 'and his eyes are shining?

‎The big bear kept wondering. 

"Forget it. Why am I even thinking this much?" "Boy, you're in luck, my wife just gave birth, and I'm bringing her and my child a beautiful meal as congratulations, so I'll take you in and make you my child's brother, how about that?" "Although humans are annoying, they can also make a nice playmate at the early stages of their lives."

 "Hahahaha!!". The bear carried the child away after muttering some words.

*Their newly born children.
