Long ago, in the time of forgotten epochs, Elyria stood as a singular titan, a continent of boundless majesty known as Pangaea. Life flourished abundantly, and the ancestral beasts, Leviathan, Behemoth, and the Celestial Fox, roamed its lands, their very presence a testament to the delicate balance of nature and the elements.
But fate, in its capricious ways, dealt a cruel hand to Elyria.
From the depths of darkness emerged a malevolent entity known as Malochron, a harbinger of devastation and chaos. This dark sorcerer, wielding unimaginable power, craved dominion over the world and would stop at nothing to achieve it.
Unleashing his sinister might, Malochron shattered the tranquility of Pangaea. The land quaked beneath the weight of his malice, while tempests of unprecedented fury lashed against the once-pristine shores. The very fabric of reality strained under the pressure of his vile sorceries, rending Pangaea asunder.
In a valiant struggle against this wicked force, the ancestral beasts rallied their elemental prowess, joining in a fierce battle against Malochron's darkness. Their unified strength quelled the chaos, and he...-
-... was finally cast down, defeated. Yet, the price was steep, for the once-great continent lay fragmented, its unity shattered.
Verdantia, Solara, and Volaris emerged as the remnants of Pangaea, each bearing the scars of the cataclysm that tore their world apart. The ancestral beasts, weary from the conflict, withdrew into a profound slumber, their powers diminished but not extinguished. Scattered across their respective continents, they stood as guardians, preserving what little remained of their once-unified homeland...

1:45 PM.
Heliosia, the radiant capital of Solara, is a city that epitomizes the pinnacle of technological advancement fueled by solar energy. Towering skyscrapers adorned with glistening solar panels dominate the skyline, reflecting the sun's rays in a mesmerizing display.
The heart of innovation beats within Heliosia, as it is home to cutting-edge research institutions, advanced energy storage facilities, and the headquarters of major solar technology corporations.
The city's bustling streets are filled with the hum of hovercrafts and the vibrant energy of a metropolis driven by sustainable power. Heliosia's Solarium, an architectural marvel, serves as a symbol of the city's commitment to harnessing the sun's energy, casting a brilliant glow that can be seen from miles away.
If one would venture deeper into the city, one would notice an ethereal glow emanating from above. They would then realize that Heliosia is encased in a remarkable, transparent-like dome, stretching high into the sky.
This dome serves a dual purpose, acting as a shield against the harsh elements of the desert while harnessing the abundant solar energy that bathes Solara.
Life in the city pulsed with vibrant activity. The cacophony of noises was filled with people going about their daily routines, each with their own purpose and destination.
Some hurriedly made their way to work, their footsteps quick and determined.
Others engaged in rigorous training, honing their skills and pushing their limits in pursuit of excellence. A group of eager students marched towards an esteemed academy, their minds hungry for knowledge and growth.
And amidst the constant flow of life, a miracle was about to occur within a pristine medical room...
"Come on, you're doing great!"
A woman's strained face reflected the intensity of her labor. Sweat dripped from her brow as she clenched her fists, determined to bring new life into the world. The doctors and nurses surrounding her offered words of encouragement, their voices filled with a mix of urgency and reassurance.
One of the doctors exclaimed, his tone laced with unwavering support.
"Just a little more, keep pushing!"
The woman's cries of pain echoed through the room, intermingling with the hum of medical equipment. Her exhaustion was palpable, but her determination remained unwavering. She knew that the pain she endured now would soon be replaced by the joy of holding her child.
And then...
"WAAAAAAHHH!"
A cry pierced the air, a sound that filled the room with relief and joy. The first child had arrived, welcomed into the embrace of eager hands. The woman's exhausted face broke into a radiant smile, her eyes glistening with tears of joy and relief.
"It's a baby girl...!"
However, it wasn't over yet, as the woman still had another challenge to face.
As such, the exhausted woman took a deep breath, a renewed determination in her eyes, as the second baby inside her still needed to be pushed out.
"You're almost there."
Another doctor whispered, her voice filled with encouragement.
"Just a little more, and you'll meet your second baby."
The woman nodded, summoning her remaining strength. She closed her eyes, focusing on the immense love she held for her unborn child.
And with one final push...
"WAAAAAAH! WAAAAAH!"
The room erupted in celebration as the second child was born, completing the arduous journey of childbirth.
"Congratulations on the arrival of your precious newborn babies! A girl and a boy!"
A midwife named Lillian said so, with a smile etched upon her face.
She might have done this thousands of times already, having helped deliver countless newborns into his world, however, the process of witnessing new life being birthed right before your very own eyes never ceased to amaze her.
The midwife, Lillian, gently handed over the babies to Hannah, the woman who lay exhausted on the bed. An elated expression adorned her fatigued face, her love already boundless for the newborns she gave birth to.
"My babies... my precious babies..."
Amidst the exhaustion and relief, Hannah cradled her two children in her arms, their presence a testament to her resilience and the miracle of life. The doctors and nurses shared in her joy, their faces adorned with smiles as they witnessed the miracle they had helped bring into the world.
The new mother, overcome with a mix of awe and motherly love, held her newborn children close, feeling an unexplainable connection between them. She sensed that their journey had only just begun and that she would do everything in her power to support and protect them.
However, unbeknownst to them...
'For nine long moons have I been confined in this wretched abyss!'
"WAAAAAAAH!"
"Shhhh... it's okay, my dear..."
Hannah softly rubbed her thumb across the firstborn's head, which however elicited another cry of outburst.
'Lothric, you wretched failure of a strategist, whose feeble attempts at humor border on jestering! How dare you subject us to such a treacherous rupture in the depths of the abyss?! You insufferable trickster!'
The words thundered forth with an air of authority and disdain, carrying the weight of ages and the echoes of battles long fought.
Unfortunately, though, her long-awaited words came out as a piercing cry.
"WAAAAAAAH!"
Hannah, despite her physical and mental exhaustion, couldn't help but find amusement amidst the chaos.
"Well, well, quite a lively one, aren't you?" she exclaimed, a hint of weariness mixed with affection in her voice.
Yet, as if a mysterious force had drained the vitality from the firstborn, she suddenly succumbed to slumber within the embrace of her new mother.
Hannah turned her gaze to her second child, who had been remarkably quiet throughout the commotion.
"Oh my... twins, yet so different from each other."
She mused, a smile playing on her lips, revealing both amusement and love for her newborns.
Lillian, the midwife who had been observing this exchange, broke the silence with a question that would define their identities for life.
"Miss, have you chosen the names for them?"
Hannah's response was swift, her fatigue momentarily forgotten.
"The lively one's name... is Sara Roswell..."
Her voice carried the weight of a mother's love.
"And the boy's name... Jin Roswell."
Her words hung in the air, a testament to her naming prowess and the joy that filled her heart.
"Beautiful names indeed. And, Ms. Roswell, if you don't mind..."
Lillian gestured towards the swaddled infants in her arms.
"Please ensure their well-being."
Hannah finished Lillian's thought, her voice filled with a tender blend of exhaustion and trust.
"Of course."
Lillian replied, her smile reflecting the gentle assurance of a trusted caretaker.
As Lillian took the babies and left the room, Hannah's adrenaline began to wane, giving way to an overwhelming sense of weariness. Her eyes slowly closed, and the weight of her journey settled upon her as she drifted into a deep sleep.
At that moment, she knew that her children were in good hands, and she allowed herself to rest, knowing that a new chapter had begun for her and her newborn twins, Sara and Jin Roswell.

A few months later...
Amid the bustling streets of Heliosia, a group of tourists stood in awe, their mouths agape at the sight before them. The city's striking blend of classic aesthetics and futuristic marvels left them speechless, eager to explore its vibrant offerings.
As they followed their knowledgeable guide through the winding streets, they couldn't help but be captivated by the various delicacies and unique styles of clothing on display.
A diverse tapestry of people adorned in attires from different corners of the world strolled through its streets. It is a sight that has raised eyebrows among tourists, as one wouldn't expect such varied clothing in a scorching hot continent like Solara.
However, with the transparent-like dome protecting them, inhabitants don't have to worry about harsh weather conditions.
Finally, after their anticipation reached its peak, the group of tourists and their guide arrived at the city's greatest technological marvel-The Solarium.
"Is that...!"
"The Solarium?"
As the tourists gathered around, their guide beamed with pride, ready to unveil the wonders of this awe-inspiring structure.
"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the crown jewel of Heliosia—the Solarium! Feast your eyes upon its architectural brilliance, a seamless blend of old-world charm and cutting-edge technology!"
The guide proclaimed with a pride-filled expression, his voice resonating with excitement.
"As you take a moment to catch your breath, allow me to share the remarkable story behind this magnificent structure."
He continued, capturing the attention of the awe-inspired tourists.
Soon numerous tourists exclaimed in fascination, in total awe of the architecture.
"It's unlike anything I've ever seen. The fusion of traditional and futuristic elements is truly remarkable!"
One of the tourists exclaimed, her eyes fixed on the intricate details of the Solarium.
"Wow... it's totally different from the frozen lands of Volaris... how mesmerizing!"
Another tourist chimed in, captivated by the juxtaposition of styles.
The guide gestured with his hands to quiet down the discussions, ready to reveal more about the Solarium's significance.
"Indeed, my friends, Heliosia embraces the beauty of both worlds! The Solarium embodies our city's commitment to progress and sustainability!"
He declared, his voice filled with pride for his city's accomplishments.
Pointing directly at the magnificent structure, he then continued.
"This architectural masterpiece isn't merely a stunning facade, but a testament to our relentless pursuit of renewable energy."
"How does it harness solar power? It must be more than just those sleek panels, right?"
One of the tourists raised their hand and asked this question.
And with a beaming smile, the guide happily explained what it truly was.
"Absolutely! The Solarium's exterior is adorned with state-of-the-art solar panels. However, it goes beyond aesthetics. Within its walls lies a network of cutting-edge technology that converts sunlight into a sustainable power source, fueling our city's energy needs."
"That's incredible! It's a true symbol of progress and innovation..."
"You're completely right! The Solarium is more than a power generator. It houses research laboratories where scientists and visionaries collaborate, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. It's a melting pot of ideas, where innovation thrives and new possibilities are explored!"
A touch of disappointment lingered in the air as a tourist expressed a wish to explore the interior, to witness the wonders firsthand.
"I'm pretty sure that's not something we can see at the moment without special permission..." another tourist muttered.
Upon seeing the downcast expressions on their faces, the guide quickly reassured them.
"While the interior is reserved for researchers, fear not! The exterior of the Solarium is a sight to behold. Its shimmering glass facade reflects the city's vibrancy, and the grand plaza surrounding it offers the perfect vantage point to admire its splendor. You'll capture memories and photographs that will forever remind you of this extraordinary place!"
"This is an experience I'll cherish forever. Heliosia truly is a city of wonders!"
One tourist exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight.
"Indeed, my friend. The Solarium stands tall as a beacon of progress!"
With their hearts filled with wonder and admiration, the tourists followed their guide, ready to explore more of the dazzling streets of Heliosia. Each step would reveal new marvels, leaving them forever enchanted by the beauty and magic of this extraordinary city.
From a distance afar, a woman with two babies could be seen strolling near the place where the guide and tourists had left.
"Did you hear that?"
'I concede... it may have stirred a flicker of intrigue within my being... yet, there is more to be desired...!
"Gahhh...!"
"Hehe..."
Hannah couldn't help but chuckle at her daughter's reaction.
In the bustling streets of Heliosia, Hannah leisurely strolled with her two babies who lay in the stroller, oblivious to her seemingly ordinary daughter whose soul definitely did not belong to an ancient Celtic warrior...
However, the curiosity of a baby overcame her as her lively face lit up every time she saw something new, a lingering curiosity permeating her.
While the other baby...
"..."
Jin, on the other hand, remained fast asleep, oblivious to the conversations around him.
>-< (how this dude be lookin' like)
Hannah, upon noticing his sleeping expression, worriedly but gently touched Jin's resting face, a mixture of love and concern washed over her.
"Oh, dear... you sure like sleeping, don't you, Jin?"
She whispered softly, caressing his cheek.
However, his sister brooked no indifference to his prolonged slumber.
Sara cast a side eye at Jin, a pondering expression adorning her cute face.
'Verily... this little man has slumbered ceaselessly since his rebirth...'
Undeterred by Jin's tranquil dormancy, Sara or... Seraphina, the Shieldmaiden, remained steadfast, knowing that their sojourn in this realm demanded dauntless valor.
'I ponder... where do my loyal companions dwell? Lothric, Lucia, Kieran, and Gideon... I yearn to know the course fate hath steered them upon...'
As they continued their leisurely stroll through the bustling street, a sudden commotion broke the tranquility. Whispers of excitement and curiosity swept through the crowd like wildfire.
"Look, up in the sky!"
"Oh dear, it's a bird!"
"It's a plane!"
Hannah, who had noticed the distinctive silhouette soaring overhead, leaned down toward her babies and whispered with a knowing smile.
"No... that's-"
*BOOM*
A resounding boom echoed through the city, causing heads to turn and hearts to race. The sound was followed by an eruption of cheers that reverberated through the air.
"That's Solaris... nicknamed 'Superman'..."
Sara, the older baby nestled in the stroller, observed the awe-inspiring sight of the superhuman soaring through the sky at a velocity surpassing the speed of sound. Her young mind absorbed the moment, and a sense of realization washed over her.
'It appears... this world is far more intricate than it initially seems.'
Her thoughts swirled with intrigue and curiosity as she contemplated the implications of the extraordinary being she had just witnessed. The presence of such a powerful entity hinted at a reality beyond the ordinary, a realm of wonder and hidden depths waiting to be explored.
'Perhaps... a challenge awaits?'
