The Mysterious Bundle Of Fate

A small town on the country side of the Langford kingdom...…

In the dead of the night, a figure cloaked in shadows emerged from the darkness, carrying a small swaddled bundle.

The figure approached the Town Lord's residence where a soft glow emanated from the window.

A shadowy figure wearing a hat stood at the top balcony of the building with his gaze fixed on the approaching figure.

The cloaked figure walked towards the residence until he reached the main gate.

He disappeared and reappeared at the door step of the residence. He glanced at the shadowy figure on the balcony and gave him a brief nod before placing the bundle on the doorstep and added a note.

The note read: "His name is Declan Zephyr. You can give him a middle name but maintain his name"

The figure knocked on the door twice before vanishing into thin air.

A few seconds later, a woman who seemed to be in her late twenties with long blue hair, that emanates the color of the ocean in the dark night emerged from the house.

She looked around but found no one.

just as sh was about to go back inside her eyes flashed on a swaddled bundle on the floor infront of her.

She picked up the bundle carefully because she felt the life force that was emanating from it and realized it was a baby.

She then extended her senses to search her surroundings trying to detect whoever dropped the baby at her doorstep.

She extended her senses and swept the surroundings thoroughly three times but couldn't sense anyone which meant that the person who dropped this baby was a rank higher than her and has erased his or her presence.

After getting inside and closing the door behind her, she called out for her husband who was inside his smithy.

A few seconds later, a man with short gold colored hair and amber eyes who looked like someone in his late twenties rushed to the living room through a back door. He had a well defined facial structure that brought out his good looks. He was Eren Val Cliff, the only son of the town lord.

He had also sensed the presence of someone on their compound so he entered holding two daggers ready to attack at any moment.

"What is it Ava?" Eren asked as he scanned the room with his senses.

"Somebody dropped this baby infront of the house" Ava whispered softly not wanting to wake the sleeping baby.

"Did you see the person?" Eren having understood the situation whispered back.

"No, I extended my senses to detect the person's presence but I didn't get anything" Ava replied.

The man them moved closer to her to have a better look at the baby.

"He has pointed ears….but not that long so it can't be an elf" Eren said.

"So….maybe a half elf perhaps" Ava said.

"It's a delf"

A firm, yet soothing voice spoke out from the top floor of the house.

A man who looked like someone in his early fifties with long gray hair and red eyes stood on a balcony overlooking the living room where the two were currently standing.

"How do you know father?" Eren asked as the man descended the stairs.

"I can sense the demonic blood surging through his body. It's quite strong" The man said as he approached them.

"Perhaps, one of his parents is not a full elf"

He added.

"But a delf is supposed to be dark skinned right? Yet he's fair" Eren asked in confusion.

"Perhaps he he got lucky" The man said casually as tho it was a normal thing.

Ava and Eren both nodded in understanding.

"So what are we going to do with him father?" Eren asked.

"Although I resent demons, I suggest we keep him. Besides, he's not a full demon and we are both alike" The man said.

Eren looked as his father calmly because he understood what the man was saying.

The man was Aaron Val Cliff, the town lord of Ashwood.

The reason why he said he and Declan's situation were alike was because he was also a half breed.

A half human/half demon.

He was abandoned by his Clan when he was just 12 after his father died in a clan war.

Demons like Elves, do not respect half breeds. They see them to be sin, taboo, dirt and rags which could just be trampled upon.

After being cast out, he decided to live his life outside of the southern continent and traveled alone with his mount, to the Western continent.

"You already have one so adopting him won't hurt right?" Aaron said.

"Okay. So what do we name him?" Eren asked.

"There's a note here with his name. It says we can only give him a middle name" Eren said as she handed Aaron the note.

"Zephyr…..interesting" Aaron said softly after seeing a familiar name.

"Okay, Declan Val Zephyr it is." Aaron announced and Eren looked at him surprisingly.

His father wasn't someone that agreed to what others demanded, especially people he doesn't know. But his father agreed easily so he was surprised by the sudden change in attitude but he didn't voice it out.

"Take him inside and let him rest. I'll inspect the surroundings to see if the person is still here" Aaron said before walking out.

Eren then went back to the smithy room while Ava took the baby upstairs to rest.

Outside the town wall.....

4 cloaked figures stood facing Aaron with his hands behind him.

"Tell me one thing"

"Is he related to the Zephyr clan?" Aaron said as he look at the leader of the cloaked figures demanding an answer.

"Yes"

"Anything else you want to know" Zareel replied.

"No. Now let's talk about the agreement, shall we?" Aaron asked with a smile.

After the discussion, the cloaked figures disappeared and Aaron headed back to his residence humming a happy tune.

*Somewhere in the Multiverse...…

A man with long black hair and glowing purple eyes sat on a giant throne back leaning to one side.

"Have you detected him?" Ursus asked his right hand man with his eyes closed.

"Yes my Lord"

"Where"

"Edoria"

"Ohhh…that's a new one" Ursus said with a surprise tone

"Do you think he's the one behind this reincarnation" His right hand man asked

"The possibility exis, taking into consideration that the boy was forcefully taken from me" Ursus replied.

"If it's him then think he's planning something" Ursus said.

"What can that boy possibly do? With the might of the army we have raised for the past thousands of years, even Zeus will think twice before antagonizing us"
