Chapter 1 - Birth of Lunavia

The Empire of valkan was in total darkness for they were experiencing the eclipse, desperate cries was heard at the mansion of the duke hastlings.His wife Duchess Hastings had been in labour for several hours pangs of excruciating pain held her to ransome ,violent whirlwind twirled round the mansion it gushed through valkan nonstop.It was a bad omen it was believed that such disturbing whirlwind only occurred when a evil person was to be reincarnated into the world the fact that the baby was to be on an eclipse was already bad enough but to be accompanied with harsh weather was unacceptable the baby was definitely a jinx."where is my baby why is it not out yet"the Duchess asked barely audible her body was already weak severely "my lady the baby is going to come out it is in the right position just hang in there"the midwife replied reassuringly "it has been seven hours I can't go on any longer"the Duchess mouthed too fragile to speak.

The duke was very anxious it was their first baby why was it so difficult to deliver,was it possible the baby was a jinx different thoughts kept racing through his mind."my lord the lady has fainted her pulse is fading"a maid informed him pulling him from his thoughts "n..no it can't be summon the high priests send for more midwife"he ordered.he rushed to the delivery room praying to the gods to save his wife at this moment he didn't care if the child lived or died all he wanted was for his beloved wife to be safe he couldn't imagine his life without her,the high priests and midwives arrived quickly.The priests chanted prayers repeatedly to the gods begging for the safe delivery of the child,when all thier efforts seemed futile the duchess life was barely hanging on a thread when she gave birth "where is my baby?"she asked weakly the midwife was reluctant to reply."you need to rest my lady the baby will be brought to you later"she answered .The Duchess glanced round the room everyone was avoiding her gaze she knew something was amiss either she gave birth to a girl instead of a boy or the baby died,"give me my child I want to hold him "she said"it is a girl "her husband said eyes on the ground he was trying hard to conceal the regret on his face.Everyone left the room leaving the newborn in the arms of her father they knew the couple was about to have an argument about the gender of the child "we will have a boy next time"the Duchess said weakly trying to comfort her husband she knew how much he wanted a heir ."how can you be so sure we waited five years just to get her look how weak you are who knows if you will be able to give birth to another"said the duke with a frown "let me hold her"said the Duchess "not yet I will have the maids clean you up "said the duke it was clear he was hiding something"is she deformed?the Duchess asked .The duke ignored her and approached the door "give me my baby"said the Duchess she use every once of strength in her to stand up only to slump back on the bed due to her drained body,the duke rushed to his wife aid "I'm sorry"he apologized "our baby"the Duchess reminded "she is a jinx"he blurted out shedding tears of disappointment before giving the baby to her mother.

The baby had shining silver hair with a pair of moonlit eyes that shone too brightly"she is beautiful"the Duchess said truthfully as she cries she knew the circumstances that surrounds the birth of her daughter was unnatural it was obvious her daughter was not ordinary "she has an unusual pair of eyes she will be discriminated and stigmatised or even worst"said the duke "we will protect her she is our child"said the Duchess crying "no one have ever seen these types of eyes even demons don't have this type of eyes she is an abomination"said the duke"she is a blessing she looks like the moon we shall call her Lunavia"she said smiling "I love you so much Lunavia"said the Duchess giving her daughter a kiss the forehead with that she gently closed her eyes peacefully "leira"the duke called his wife softly but there was no response "leira"he called again gently tapping her hand but still got no response that is when he realised his beloved was dead.he called her name again repeatedly but there was still no reply he chest grew heavy he wished he was dreaming sadly he was far from dreaming he had lost his beloved his most valued possession he screamed in agony his voice roared through the mansion servents rushed to his side ,he looked at his daughter with sheer hatred she took the most precious person from him he would never be able to love her neither could he bring himself to kill her .She was his own flesh and blood his wife loved her ,he needed to protect her at least for his wife sake the maids took Lunavia from him leaving him to grieve his wife.

Lunavia birth also sent a wave of pure energy across the land of the gods (immortal) aetherion ,this type of energy wave only occurred when a god was born.It was strange no god or goddess have birth only powerful gods could give birth to a child so powerful with such a energy wave, every god felt it mostly gravena the goddess of the dead.Gravena felt the energy like it was meant for her it made her anxious and curious she wanted to know who's newly born god has such pure and powerful energy she search the four realms of aetherion but couldn't find it
