The Nocturne Palace experienced an intense darkness that spread throughout its black walls. The halls of the palace experienced a deep silence which felt as heavy as molten metal. The night of the twins' birth was a night that should have been celebration but the air carried the scent of ash and prophecy. The wind stopped its movement because the entire world existed in a moment of stillness.
The grand birthing chamber contained tall black stone columns which showed a faint light through the magical flames that created long shadows that moved across the walls which displayed ancient runes. The Demon King Vael Nocturne showed his full height while his crimson eyes shone like twin rubies under the firelight. His first-born son swaddled in cloth black as night lay in his arms. The first child had a majestic crimson aura ,his supernatural power could already produce an intense force which he contained inside his delicate body. Asterion the heir who would become king looked at his father with eyes that showed him the same red color as Vael's eyes which extended into infinite space.
The second child let out a cry which produced a soft sound that managed to break the tense atmosphere. Blue eyes delicate features soft human-like skin-a reflection of the Demon Queen Seraphis. She approached with footsteps that seemed lighter than air while her silken robes made soft sounds as they touched the floor. She looked at the second child with a tender gaze while her lips formed a smile which showed both affection and sadness.
She said this statement about her son. The people of the world will call him weak but he will continue to exist. The councillors whispered behind her back using quiet voices that showed they feared everything. The words they spoke slithered through the chamber like venom because they wanted to shape how people viewed the world before the child arrived.
