The child's cry was like the long-awaited rain on the scorched land. The newborn knows nothing about the sadness and loss of his mother who left the world after protecting her offspring with her life.

"Look at you… so small yet your voice is stronger than the thunder, capable of silencing many adults…" Noirelle comforted the baby.

"Please, take care of him…" She handed the boy to the male standing nearby.

"Yes, my queen… We will protect the child as if he was our own… Nasir's birth is a miracle to the individual and a whole race. We will raise him to become your greatest loyal follower," the demon accepted the newborn.

As soon as the baby was out of her hands, Noirelle's gaze hardened. 

"Now, who can tell me what happened to the village?" 

After she spoke out, the entire survivor's group fell to their knees again.

"Did you see the ones who are responsible for the annihilation of our settlements?" She asked the one closest to her.
