Chapter 3 A Hero is Born

After some long years, Orvus now has a family with seven wives and now have a child named Alan (Who is named after Alan the Night Light King).

Orvus, his wives Alina, Videl, Brooke, Spluff Ivy, Spluff Atta, and toddler Alan are strolling through the woods when they come across some flowers. They then look up to see a mommy, a daddy, and a baby bird. The parents stare at them, and Orvus accidentally lets go of the stroller. Alan goes storming down a hill and Orvus and his wives run to catch up with their son. The stroller jumps over a ravine, and heads toward the same apple tree that triggered the memory. As Orvus and his wives rush to catch up with their son, their hearts pound with fear for his safety. But as they reach the spot where the stroller crashed, they find Alan laughing, unharmed by the ordeal. Relieved and grateful, they gather around their son, showering him with hugs and kisses.

Orvus looks at his wives with a mixture of love and relief, grateful for their support and companionship on this wild journey called parenthood. Together, they watch as Alan toddles around, exploring the world with the innocent curiosity of a child.

As they continue their stroll through the woods, Orvus reflects on the blessings of his life—the love of his family, the beauty of nature, and the adventures that await them all. And in that moment, surrounded by the ones he loves most, Orvus couldn't imagine a more perfect existence.

One year later, Orvus has returned to his home planet while his wives remain on earth along with their son. As Orvus returns to his home planet, his heart is heavy with the bittersweetness of parting from his beloved family. But duty calls, and he knows he must fulfill his responsibilities to his people. With a solemn resolve, he bids farewell to his wives and son, promising to return to them as soon as he can.

Back on Earth, Alina, Videl, Brooke, Spluff Ivy, and Spluff Atta continue to care for young Alan with all the love and devotion of a united family. Though Orvus may be far away, his presence is felt in the warmth of their memories and the strength of their bond. As time passes, the family finds solace in the moments they share together, cherishing each day as a precious gift. And though their paths may diverge, their love remains unwavering, connecting them across the vast expanse of space and time. Luckily, with Brooke Umimi being the 1st daughter of a noble elf family, a pokemon coordinator, and being a world famous actress and orvus being a rich wizard and scientist, he and brooke manage to recieve a mansion as their new home even with orvus back on his homeplanet. It's wonderful to hear that Brooke's background and Orvus's status have granted them a beautiful mansion to call home, providing a comfortable and luxurious space for their family even while Orvus is away. With Brooke's diverse talents and Orvus's resources, and the other's support, they can create a nurturing and enriching environment for young Alan, filled with love, adventure, and endless possibilities.

The mansion they lived in was large enough to be called a small palace.

Their home was in Spluff Grove, and the village is in the middle of Spluff Forest located in the Kingdom of Starlight. The Kingdom of Starlight was located in the very centre of the Starlight continent, surrounded by various countries. Apparently, there had been quite a few wars in the past, but it had been peaceful for the past few years. The matriarchs of Starlight possessed the lands bordering other countries, and were allowed to have their own standing armies with which they could protect their lands and the country. Living in Spluff Grove within the Kingdom of Starlight sounds like a serene and idyllic setting for Alan and his family. With its lush surroundings and peaceful atmosphere, Spluff Grove offers a tranquil environment for them to raise young Alan. Being located in the heart of the Starlight continent also provides them with a sense of security, especially with the protection of the matriarchs and their standing armies.

At night, all five mothers are ready for bed. They take a bath, wear their pajamas, and head for bed along with alan. Under the watchful gaze of the night sky, young Alan slumbers peacefully in the comforting embrace of his five devoted mothers. The evening unfolds with the tender rituals of bath time, donning pajamas, and settling into their shared queen-sized bed, where dreams await to weave their magic. As the night progresses, a mysterious phenomenon takes shape among the celestial tapestry above.

Eight radiant symbols manifest amidst the stars, each representing a unique force of nature: Magic, Water, Tech, Fire, Undead, Life, Air, and Earth. With a mesmerizing glow, these symbols converge and unleash beams of vibrant energy towards the tranquil expanse of Spluff Forest.

Unbeknownst to the slumbering family, four of these beams find their way to young Alan, casting an ethereal light upon him. A purple beam of Magic, an orange beam of Tech, a gray beam of Undead, and a blue beam of Water imbue him with their mystical essence. In the quiet hours of the night, Alan stirs from his rest and ventures into the living room, drawn by a mysterious glow. There, he encounters a wondrous sight—a star adorned with eyes and a majestic white mustache, summoning forth a large blue egg with delicate blue spots. But before he can approach, the apparition vanishes, leaving Alan perplexed.

Alina, one of his devoted mothers, discovers Alan's nocturnal wanderings and gently guides him back to their shared sanctuary. As they return to their room, Alan steals one last glance at the spot where the mystical egg had appeared, though it now remains hidden beneath a nearby table, its secrets shrouded in mystery. With a loving embrace, Alina soothes her son, reassuring him that all is well before they drift back into the comforting embrace of slumber, unaware of the cosmic events that have unfolded under the cloak of night.

"Alan? What are you doing here?" Alina said after a yawn, as alan points to where the egg was at which has also disappeared. Alina's voice, softened by the veil of sleep, breaks the stillness of the night as she gazes at her son, Alan, who stands before her with wide eyes. With a gentle yawn, she seeks to understand his presence in the dimly lit living room.

"Hm? You thought you saw something?" Alina inquires, following Alan's gaze to the spot where the mysterious egg had briefly appeared before vanishing into the night. She scans the room, her eyes lingering on the window, searching for any sign of movement or disturbance in the tranquil night air. But all she finds is the quiet stillness of their home, the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the curtains casting gentle shadows upon the floor. There's no trace of the enigmatic vision Alan claims to have witnessed, leaving Alina to wonder if it was merely a figment of his imagination or a fleeting trick of the light. With a comforting smile, Alina reassures her son, guiding him back to their shared sanctuary where warmth and safety await. As they settle back into bed, she wraps him in her embrace, soothing his restless thoughts and comforting him with the familiar embrace of home. And with a final tender goodnight, they surrender once more to the gentle embrace of sleep, leaving behind the mysteries of the night to rest in the realm of dreams.

Three years later, The next morning, Alan, now at the age of three, is just playing with his toys in the playroom.

Just then, a woman came into alan's playroom. She was still quite young, and was also wearing a maid outfit.

Her name was Silvia.

Silvia was Alan's personal maid and educator, and she was the one who taught him how to read, amongst other things.

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across Alan's playroom as he sat amidst his toys, completely engrossed in his own little world. Silvia's gentle voice broke through the quiet, drawing his attention away from his toys and towards the doorway where she stood, a figure of kindness and care.

"Alan? Is everything okay in here?" Silvia's voice was soft, tinged with a hint of concern as she surveyed the room, her eyes resting on the young night light with a tender smile.

In response, Alan blew bubbles with an air of innocence and wonder, the simple act both surprising and delightful to Silvia. Yet, as she watched him, she couldn't shake the feeling of amazement and disbelief at the sight of a mere infant displaying such unusual abilities, wielding the element of Water with ease.

With a sense of curiosity and caution, Silvia approached Alan, her eyes drawn to the books he held in his tiny hands. They were no ordinary picture books; instead, they were filled with tales of magic and history, subjects far beyond the comprehension of most infants.

"Alan, I've brought a book on the history of Starlight and a simple book on magic," Silvia explained, her voice tinged with a mixture of uncertainty and encouragement. She offered him the two volumes, hoping to nurture his budding curiosity and intellect.

As Alan gazed at the titles of the books, his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation. "[The History of the Kingdom of Starlight]," he read aloud, followed by "[A Beginner's Guide to Magic]." The words held a mysterious allure, igniting a newfound sense of wonder within him.

With Silvia's guidance, Alan delved into the pages of the books, eagerly absorbing the knowledge contained within. And as he embarked on this journey of discovery, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and determination, knowing that he was destined for extraordinary things in the magical world of Starlight. 

In this enchanting land, where the boundaries between magic and technology blur, a new tale begins. In the heart of Avalar, where wonders never cease and mysteries linger in every corner, a hero is born.

But who is this hero, you might ask? Is it a valiant knight, clad in shimmering armor, ready to defend the realm from all manner of darkness? Or perhaps a cunning sorcerer, wielding spells that could shake the very foundations of reality itself?

No, this hero is something different entirely. This hero is...A Spark of Hope.

The Kingdom of Starlight was where he was currently living.

It had been almost 300 years since it had been founded, with the royal family being on its 15th generation.

The first king, and founder, seemed to have been an adventurer-turned-hero who had first made a name for himself, then a village, which had rapidly turned into a city and then a country. His origins, however, were unclear.

His name was King Cosmos.

The current ruler was called Princess Starlight.

In the heart of the Kingdom of Starlight, where the sun's rays danced upon the cobblestone streets and cast golden hues upon the towering castle walls, lay the vibrant city where Alan and his family resided. Founded nearly three centuries ago by a legendary adventurer-turned-hero, the kingdom had flourished under the guidance of its illustrious rulers, with the royal lineage stretching back through fifteen generations.

The very first monarch, known as King Cosmos, was a figure shrouded in mystery and legend. Tales spoke of his daring exploits and noble deeds, painting him as a larger-than-life hero who had carved his legacy upon the annals of history. Yet, despite his remarkable achievements, the origins of King Cosmos remained veiled in obscurity, a puzzle lost to the mists of time.

Under King Cosmos's visionary leadership, what had once been a humble village burgeoned into a thriving city, and from there, into a majestic kingdom that spanned the vast expanse of the Starlight continent. His legacy endured through the ages, shaping the destiny of his descendants and the fate of the realm he had built with his own hands.

And now, in the present day, the kingdom was ruled by Princess Starlight, the fifteenth monarch to ascend to the throne. With grace and wisdom befitting her lineage, she guided her people with compassion and strength, ensuring the prosperity and harmony of the kingdom for generations to come. In her hands, the legacy of King Cosmos lived on, a beacon of hope and inspiration for all who called the Kingdom of Starlight their home. In the Kingdom of Starlight, the social hierarchy was meticulously structured, with noble titles delineating one's rank and status within society. At the apex of this hierarchy stood the royalty, including the esteemed Sparkle Family, who held the exalted position of higher-rank nobility. Beneath them lay a tiered system of aristocracy, with titles such as archduke, duke, marquis, margrave, count, viscount, baron, and knight, each conferring its own privileges and responsibilities.

Nobility was a hereditary status, passed down through generations within noble families. However, while the heads-of-houses enjoyed noble privileges, their extended families were considered quasi-nobles, and their descendants were treated as commoners. Honorary titles and knighthoods were temporary, lasting only one generation, and did not confer hereditary nobility to subsequent generations.

To prevent an overabundance of nobles and mitigate financial strain on the kingdom, measures were in place to limit the proliferation of titles. Heads-of-houses received salaries from the state, and only siblings of the reigning monarch could attain the prestigious title of archduke. Additionally, honorary titles and knighthoods were carefully regulated to ensure the stability of the nobility.

As Alan delved into the study of magic, he encountered a world of wonder and possibility. The book he opened provided guidance on harnessing magical power, beginning with an exploration of the body's innate capacity to store and channel magic. According to the text, individuals possessed an organ near their solar plexus capable of storing magical energy, a vital component in the practice of magic. This organ's precise location varied among different species, reflecting the diversity of magical abilities within the kingdom. As Alan focused his thoughts and directed his attention inward, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery, seeking out the elusive organ described in the pages of the magic book. With closed eyes and unwavering concentration, he delved deep within himself, probing his inner essence for the presence of this mysterious reservoir of power.

A sensation of warmth began to suffuse his being, emanating from the region near his solar plexus as described in the text. It was as if a dormant ember had been ignited within him, kindling a flicker of magical energy that pulsed softly beneath his skin. The sensation intensified, a subtle yet palpable heat that signaled the awakening of his latent magical potential.

In that moment of connection, Alan felt a profound sense of awe and wonder. Here, within the depths of his own being, lay the source of untold possibilities, a wellspring of magic waiting to be tapped and harnessed. With newfound awareness and determination, he embarked on his journey into the realm of magic, ready to explore the boundless realms of enchantment that awaited him. As Alan continued his practice, he honed his sensitivity to the flow of magical energy coursing through his being. With each breath, each heartbeat, he attuned himself to the subtle currents of power that pulsed within him, tracing their pathways with growing clarity and precision.

At first, the sensation was faint and elusive, like a whisper on the edge of perception. But with patience and persistence, he gradually deepened his awareness, his consciousness expanding to encompass the intricate web of magical energy suffusing his body.

He felt the energy and flow, a rhythmic dance of light and shadow that intertwined with the very essence of his being. It surged through his veins like a river of light, infusing every cell and sinew with its potent vitality. With each passing moment, Alan's connection to this primal force grew stronger, his understanding of its nature deepening with each subtle shift and movement. In this state of heightened awareness, he felt a sense of harmony and unity with the world around him, as if he were but a single thread woven into the vast tapestry of existence. With a newfound sense of purpose and determination, Alan embraced the boundless potential of his magical gift, ready to embark on a journey of discovery and mastery unlike any other.

"It almost feels like it has its own veins and arteries."

As he said that, he realised he could control how the magical power flowed throughout his body.

Swirling it around in his body, he turned to the next page.

[Gather magical power in your index finger and chant the following]

"Hmm. Like this?"

He concentrated on gathering magical power in his index finger, and, thinking of a candle, he chanted "O, fire!" as was written in the book.

When he tries out the spell, a five centimeter pillar of fire shot out of his finger. He let go of the magical power gathered in his finger, and the fire went out. Alan marveled at his newfound ability, a grin spreading across his face as he witnessed the manifestation of his magic. With a simple incantation and a focused concentration of his will, he had conjured forth a flame from the very essence of his being.

Excitement and wonder surged within him as he contemplated the possibilities that lay before him. He had tapped into a reservoir of power that seemed limitless in its potential, and he was eager to explore the depths of his newfound abilities.

With renewed determination, Alan turned his attention back to the book, eager to delve deeper into the mysteries of magic. Each page held new insights and revelations, guiding him on his journey of discovery and mastery.

As he continued to practice and experiment with his magic, Alan's confidence grew, his skill and control steadily improving with each passing day. He knew that he had only scratched the surface of his potential, and he was determined to unlock the full extent of his abilities.

With the power of magic at his command, Alan felt a sense of purpose and fulfillment unlike anything he had ever experienced before. He was ready to embrace his destiny and forge his own path in the world, guided by the light of his inner flame.

Alan's brow furrowed in concentration as he pored over the pages of the book, searching for any information that might shed light on his current predicament. He had noticed a slight depletion in his magical reserves after casting the spell earlier, a sensation that left him feeling somewhat drained.

As he delved deeper into the text, he discovered that the manipulation of magical power required a delicate balance of focus and control. Overexertion or misuse of one's magical abilities could lead to fatigue and depletion of energy, much like physical exertion. Alan realized that he needed to be more mindful of his magical energy expenditure, pacing himself and allowing time for his reserves to replenish between spells. He made a mental note to practice moderation and restraint in his magical practice, ensuring that he maintained a healthy balance of power and energy.

With renewed determination, Alan continued to study the intricacies of magic, honing his skills and expanding his understanding of its principles. He knew that mastering the art of magic would require patience and dedication, but he was determined to rise to the challenge and unlock the full extent of his potential.

[Your manipulation of magical power will improve if you circulate it within your body daily.]

[Using up all your magical power and resting to recover it will increase the maximum amount of magical power you can use. However, this maximum amount differs from person to person.]

"Alan, it's time for lunch."

It was Silvia. Alan looked out of the window, through which the rays of the setting sun were shining.

Alan closed the book, taking a moment to absorb the information he had just read. He understood the importance of daily practice and the need to balance magical exertion with rest to maximize his potential. With determination, he made a mental note to incorporate these principles into his daily routine.

As Silvia's voice interrupted his thoughts, Alan glanced up at the window, noticing the warm glow of the setting sun casting long shadows across the room. He realized that time had slipped away as he immersed himself in his studies.

"Coming!" Alan called out in response, quickly gathering his belongings and preparing to join Silvia for lunch. Despite the interruption, he couldn't shake the excitement of his newfound knowledge and the endless possibilities that lay ahead on his magical journey. With each passing day, he was one step closer to unlocking the full extent of his abilities and embracing his destiny as a master of magic. He had been so immersed in the book about magic that he hadn't even noticed the passing of time. He put the book down on this desk and left the room.

When he reached the dining room, his mothers and friends were already there. He sat down, and they all waited until his 4th mother finally appeared and sat down.

"Alan, I heard all you do lately is read books. Do you like reading?"

"He's only three but he can already read and write perfectly!"

Alan nodded enthusiastically in response to Brooke's question. "I love reading! It's like exploring new worlds and learning about all sorts of interesting things," he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He was indeed proud of his ability to read and write at such a young age, a skill that he had honed through diligent practice and curiosity. As Silvia mentioned the possibility of him learning magic, Alan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through him. He wanted to share his newfound abilities with his family, but for now, he decided to keep it a secret until he felt ready to reveal his magical talents. With a smile, Alan continued to enjoy the meal with his family and friends, cherishing these moments of togetherness and love. He couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited him in the world of magic and beyond.
