In the tower of Dragon Heart Kingdom, a pregnant woman was screaming loudly in pain, she was Queen Merium and she was having a baby and there are only two people with her the King Richard Vanquish and the wise and powerful Wizard Elandir.
"We must not let her step out of the magic circle "said the wizard with a serious face and continue chant a spell.
Merium was screaming from the pain and sweating so much, while of this happened a shadow figure appeared in the corner of the room and tried to attacked the Queen but Richard already senses his presence and manage to blocked the assassin and clashes sword with him.
"Who are you and how can you get in here?" Richard asked in an angry voice but the assassin did not reply and continued to fight.
After a while Richard notice that the assassin target was the Queen and the baby. Richard asked why the assassin was trying to kill the Queen but there was still no reply.
As the King fought with the assassin the King managed to killed the assassin but he managed to injured the Queen before he died. The King rush over and hold his beloved wife around her.
"My Queen, stay with me…stay with me. Elandir help her please" Richard said in a trembling and helpless voice.
The air was spinning around and the mana was spreading.
"Your Majesty," the Wizard said, eyes wild and voice raw, "you must understand—if I don't finish this spell now, they're gone. Both of them. I'm sorry I can't help you… but this is bigger than either of us.
"It's alright, my love," Merium whispered, her voice trembling, cracking like a fragile thread. "I've already shared my time… and joy with our people. And if my end means our baby may live… then so be it."
She reached for him, tears glistening in her eyes. "Perhaps… in another life… I will find you both again."
Her lips quivered as she gave him a faint smile. "My King."
While the Wizard continued chanting the spell the mana in the whole kingdom gather in the tower and suddenly vanished when the spell was completed.
The Queen breath slowly and life fade away but another heart was beating, the baby boy, soon his crying fills the tower then the King hold him tightly and cry his heart out.
While the baby gets their attention, form the body of the assassin a butterfly appeared and fly towards the window and head to the north where the deep forest lie called Vaeloris Woods.
But after a while the baby turn cold and cry, the King worried asked the Wizard to looked at it and when the Wizard saw the baby, he cannot believe what is happening in front of him.
"Your Majesty" the Wizard spoke in a low, and sorrowful whispered "I fear the child won't survive the night"
"What do you mean Elandir?, tell me-now!" the king demanded, his voice was sharped and eyes was confused.
The Wizard told him to calm down" Your Majesty please calm yourself, look at the child with your mana sight"
The King quickly froze and immediately activated his mana sight froze and shocked by what he saw
"what.. is this?" he wondered, with eye wide open in disbelief.
"The baby mana inside the child is too much for a new born child" said the wizard with great sorrow "it will kill him eventually I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to help him"
So, King Richard with a heavy heart and sadness in his eye lay the baby next to his mother and then suddenly the baby mana starts to glow and leak out, circle around the room and flow inside Queen Merium body.
After that the baby start crying and Queen Nerium open her eye and hug the baby tightly with tearful eye. The King overjoyed with what's happening and hug them.
"I understand "said the wizard with a relieve tone "The mana was divided into two to save the child and the mother, what a … what a miracle it is!"
Merium and Richard looked at each other with a smile and Merium asked "Have you come up with a name for your child?" Richard replies with a smile" Xandriel Vanquish- his name is Xandriel Vanquish"
