A ship was sailing high in the sea storm, searching for a shore to land on. Not a single piece of land was visible. Every hope was lost as the captain saw in what condition everyone was in.
Half of the crewmates lying dead. Childrens crying cause of hunger, water leveling up on the ship. Situation for survival was out of hand. Suddenly someone screams to the captain.
"Sir, both the babies are safe now"
"Really, you hold the ship for a few mins , I will be coming soon."
The captain rushes towards the inner deck with a smile in his face. He opens the door and see's both the babies there. The smile on his face widens. He immediately goes and holds the babies in both his hands. He shower then with love.
Suddenly the ship gets a huge shoch. An enemy fire ball has hit the ship. The ship catches fire.
Everyone start to run to save themselves.the captain holds both the babies tightly and runs downstairs to the base. He tied both the babies in a soft cushion. As he puts the babies above the water surface, his eyes gets watery. He speaks his last words to both of his sons.
"Please survive my son, please survive for your father's sake"
"And save your mother from those so called gods if you can"
He releases both the babies in the water. The tide was moving fast so the babies quickly disappeared from his eyes. The lonely father joint both his hands as he prayed while looking at the dark sky.
"O dear supreme light, i devote both of my son to you. Their lives are now in your hands only, please keep them safe."
As soon as he finished the prayer, the boat started sinking into the wide dark sea. At the last moment, everyone joint there hands and started praying to the supreme light for the survival and sake of both the babies.
The ship breaked and than sank fully in the dark sea, leaving no traces behind of the ship except blood and dead bodies. The thunderstorm was still there but no prayers or cries anymore. A haunting silence along with a sweet melody coming from beneath the sea.

"Yes mom please tell us!"
"It's not necessary my son, but you can believe that a 99% chance is that you will become one after a few years of experience.
The dad walks out of the room along with two starlight badges, each looking different. He places one on eachs shoulder and than kisses their foreheads.
"Listen Rihito and Ren, as you know that now you both are 16 years old and are applying for the godman workers examination. Give it your all and use your brain properly. Our blessings will always be with you two."
