Auren Vale found himself in a new world, feeling the crisp, fresh air on his skin, unlike anything he remembered breathing. He was cradled gently, surrounded by soft, warm arms. The sensation was unlike his previous experiences with cold, sterile labs and the hum of technology.

  Voices spoke around him, soft and melodic, in a language he could understand even though he had never heard it before.

  _"He's so small... but look at those eyes,"_ said one voice.

  _"The stars mark his birth. It's a good omen, my love,"_ another voice replied.

  _"May the Twins guide him always,"_ someone else said.

  Auren opened his eyes, seeing two moons side by side in a dark, velvety sky. Their silvery light bathed everything around him in a gentle glow. In his previous life, he had known only one moon in the night sky. It was all so strange and new.

  He tried to speak, but only a soft gurgle escaped his lips. Instead of panic, he was struck by a new realization—a profound sense of calm. His body was tiny and weak, but it was new. He was a baby again, given a fresh start in a place filled with wonder and mystery.

  This opportunity filled him with peace. Everything he had left behind was gone, and the past was just a memory. Here in this new world, there was a chance to begin anew, to experience life in a way he had never imagined.

  The twin moons and the thoughtful care of the people who held him gave him a renewed sense of purpose. His previous life of sterile labs and unattainable goals was behind him. Now, he had the chance to learn about the simple joys he had overlooked—like the feel of a gentle breeze, or the comfort of being held by caring arms.

  In this unfamiliar world, everything was possible. While the journey ahead was uncertain, Auren Vale felt ready to embrace a new beginning, guided by the innate curiosity and determination that defined him. This life promised the discovery of wonders he hadn't yet dreamed of, and he was eager to explore whatever lay before him in this strange yet wondrous new life.

  He was reborn.

  With his newborn senses, he reached out, trying to understand the world around him.

  He felt something, an energy all around him in the air. It wasn’t electricity. It wasn’t radiation . It was something more pure.

  Mana.

  It tickled his senses like a dense, living mist, full of life. He could almost taste it: bright, metallic, and full of endless possibilities. Auren attempted to smile, but his muscles could barely move. It didn’t matter. Now, he had plenty of time. All the time he needed.

  Far away, on a rocky mountain overlooking the vast forests of the kingdom, a person wearing a dark blue cloak looked up from their magical circle. Two moons shimmered in a pool at their feet, casting a gentle light . The runes glowed with an intense, unsettling brightness. The person frowned deeply."This birth... It is strange," they whispered to themselves. "A hollow seed planted among the stars."Their eyes turned toward the valley below, where the House of Vale lay sleeping, unaware of the storm that was about to rise from within its own walls.
