Era of Catalyst

799th Year of Eclipsis, 18th Octavia

[Nozvan family Estates]

Household of baron Valeria Nozvan

"M-My child" A weak voice escaped from the beloved wife of Lucius Dravenhart, Valeria Nozvan as she reached out towards her new born child which the midwife held out towards her.

In the dimly lit room, Lady Valeria cradled her newborn in her arms, a mixture of exhaustion and joy etched across her face.The maids surrounding her also looked at the baby with joy.

The baby slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the surroundings cautiously and curiously assessing the situation he was in.

Lady Valeria was happy seeing such bright eyes. But a look of concern appeared on her face when she realized the baby wasn't crying.

Unaffected by the others in the room,the little baby reached his hand out, almost as if trying to grab at something. The small hand had tiny fingers and a puppy palm, raised up and pointing toward the sky.

The baby blinked in confusion seeing the small hands. The mother held out his tiny finger, the baby grabbed on to it.

A dim glow appeared behind the baby's palm, hidden from the sight of the adults. Seeing the glow, tears trailed down from the baby's eyes.It was no dream but a miracle.

He wanted to laugh at this turn of events yet he began crying and the mother sighed in relief seeing the baby was normal and proceeded to give the baby to the nearby maid.

All were unaware of the child's inner thoughts, which would've been quite shocking for them to hear, "I've been reborn with magic...."

-----

The gentle light of the early morning sun bathed the room where the baby now lay, wrapped in a delicate blanket embroidered with the crest of the Nozvan family.

Lady Valeria, now recovered from her labor, sat up in her bed, watching over her newborn with the soft gaze only a mother could give. Her husband,

Lucius hart, a well built man wearing a coat. His bright white hair shined a little as he looked at his wife and his new sonfull of curiosity looking here and there.

He couldn't help but smile. Looking at his own son. His serious face melting.

"He looks... beautiful," Lucius muttered as he finally broke the silence.

Valeria, brushing a strand of loose red hair from her face, glanced down at the child.

Valeria smiled softly as she looked at the baby, her fingers gently stroking his cheek. "Of course he has gone for me," she said.

Looking at their sons bright red eyes. " My lil Kairos has gone after me. "

Hearing that Lucius sighed but what he could do. He named their first born and as promised it his wife's turn.

And what she choose was, Kairos.

Kairos Nozvan.

—---------

The days passed by And in blink of an eye Kairos was already 6 years old. [806th year of Ecplipsis, 3rd Januer]

Kairos grew quickly, far too quickly, and with each passing day, his strange behavior only became more pronounced. His eyes followed everything, and objects sometimes moved slightly when no one was looking. But as such long time passed everyone got used to it.

Currently,

Kairos can be seen siting on he's bed. His hands placed on a huge book or to say his small hands were placed on avarage sized book.

His small mouth moved as he looked at it. Seriously. His red hair danced on the rustling wind of morning.

He was trying his best to pronounce the words writen on it.

Then all a of sudden his small ears picked up foot steps. He hurriedly closed the book and fall down on his back gasping the blanket. Hiding the book within the blanket.

Step step..

The soft footsteps echoed in the room, and soon, the figure of a young woman appeared at the door. Her auburn hair was neatly tied back, revealing her soft, yet stern expression. It was Selene, Kairos's caretaker.

She a charming gentle woman.However, when it came to Kairos, she often found herself in a battle of wits with the boy.

"Young master Kairos..." she called out, her voice a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Are you reading those heavy books again? It's not even breakfast time yet!"

Kairos blinked innocently, doing his best to suppress a mischievous grin. "N-No, Miss Selene," he stammered, pulling the blanket tighter over the hidden book.

Selene, being the sharp caretaker she was, reached for the blanket. "Let me guess," she sighed. "One of those books madam Valeria has warned you not to read."

Kairos almost tched. As why couldn't this youngster give him some time to read.

With a swift tug, she pulled the blanket off, revealing the thick, worn-out book.

"Just as I thought," Selene remarked, shaking her head, though there was no real anger in her voice—just a mixture of concern and fondness. "You've barely gotten out of bed, and you're already stuffing your head with these heavy old texts."

"But, they're so interesting!" he protested. "There's so much I want to learn. I can't help it.. I will eat breakfast later. I will put good words to father to increase your salary!"

Selene's eyebrow twitched at Kairos's words, her lips forming a tight line as she narrowed her eyes at him. She had fallen for this "salary increase" trick once before, back when Kairos was younger and a bit less cunning. Lucius had been so amused by the boy's negotiation tactics that he actually did double her salary—much to her embarrassment.

Now, whenever Kairos made such offers, Selene knew better than to take the bait.

She crossed her arms, leaning slightly forward, casting a shadow over Kairos. Her expression remained calm, but there was a glint of playful defiance in her eyes. "I'm afraid that particular trick won't work this time, young master"

Without any Mercy she took the took and put on the high shelf which is unlikely for Kairos to reach.

Kairos could only watch such cruel act. He's not a kid his a grown up old man!. Why they have to act such way.

"Miss Selene… have mercy on a poor soul. Don't you want me to be smart and wise like mother?. Aren't you an angel?"

Selene paused for a moment, her back still to him, but she didn't respond. Instead, she gently adjusted the curtains, letting more sunlight flood the room.

She have been already familiar how this lil brat speaks. " Nope, I'm not an angel"

Kairos cursed in mind. He was getting at the interesting part of how hero Valtor killed the star king.

"Finish your breakfast fast. Madam Valeria want to see you"

"Mother?" Kairos mumbled.

One thing that he understood despite never ever heard of Nozvan family was. This wasn't an ordinary family. Troops as strong as 2nd grade Bridget were training always at the backwards of their house. Which wasn't a common thing. Also the unique bloodline he has inherited. Although it's just a [Gray] rank bloodline the effect is quit useful rivaling the [Red] ranks.

In this world having bloodline changes the very way life. As no matter what the bloodline rank is. It gives certain effects and usages that commoners could only wish for. Which starts from white rank, then Gray rank , blue rank, Red rank and ends with legendary rank. As for the rank above only one family has it.

Kairos mother is the baron of this place. City of Erys, Located at the same empire that his old self will be born at 813, seven years from now. and also the empire that will be destroyed in 819th new year.

He also inharited her mother's name. Kairos Nozvan. Gentle she may look, She was fierce and strong.

He hasn't seen her fighting but his decades of experiences and his guts that saved him from many dangers of course he still died because of it. He still trusted it. It was telling him that woman is far stronger than his dull looking father.

As a baron. She rarely has time to visit her own son. Which was usually two or three times a week and for his father he usually stays out of home on hunting missions.

Thus it was something not rarely often seen. For his mother to look for him. The last time he remembered was beacuse of his brother getting injured.

Kairos, Quickly finished his breakfast. Which was nothing much some toasts of breads and soap.For some reason that's what this family eats as tradition.

Quickly dressing up. Combinng his hair forcefully done by Helena he was ready to visit his mother.
