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, Maldie? If they find them, they will die without doubt."

The white-cloaked male said to the pale-faced woman with a rather concerned expression.

‎"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 this cramped place."

Said the woman with a pale but devastatingly beautiful face. ‎

‎The man nodded slowly before standing up.

He made a simple motion with his left hand and murmured a few almost inaudible words before making another tearing motion with his right hand that seemed to be met with a lot of resistance. Immediately after, a tiny crack opened up in the smoke that led to an unknown place; it also looked especially dark, as if there were no trace of light or anything at all there.

Without wasting any time, the beautiful female dragged her tired body to where two newly born children were lying and easily scooped them into her embrace before approaching the man who was already trembling, with a trickle of blood coming out of his mouth. Obviously, his current action was taking a huge toll on his health, and he seemed like he couldn't hold on for much longer.

"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 Maldie's face when she uttered it before pushing the two children towards the dark opening and collapsing to the floor immediately after. Vâšuan, who also collapsed to the floor, dragged his tired body to Maldië and hugged her gently in silence.

‎‎Space and Time are two distinct elements of existence that are supreme by themselves, but they are known as the Primal Duva-Sila together and are extremely vague and distant. 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 nymana*, 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 nymanas, each absorbing one. ‎‎Spacetime warped again, and the two children could not hold on to each other, so they were separated across space.

‎‎Acaulii 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, Acaulii 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 seem to shine with green 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 mate 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.

*Energy.
