Everyone's body fell on their seats and their conscious was gone.

"Grandpa, you can go take care of your business and not worry about them. It'll probably take awhile for them to wake up. I'll make sure to guard them and not let anything happen."

As I say so, another magic tool appears for defensive measures. A barrier deploys around the whole room in multiple intricate layers.

"No curse, magic, poison, or anything harmful will get through these barriers. Not even if someone found out the state of our family and tries to use this as an opportunity to use soul possession or forbidden black magic. This artifact was created to handle and counter it all."

"Alright kiddo. I'll leave it to you then. Remember to show me the recording too!"

"Ok Grandpa."

The communication crystal cuts off.

Inside the recording artifact, everyone's conscious appeared in a small space. Their form is like a soul state floating wherever they wanted to go.

A beautiful man in a white gown robe with long blonde hair emerge in front of them like mists.

"Hello. I am Izura. I'm the older twin brother of Izria. From now on, please take care of him"

"Let's begin, shall we? We'll start with our family history."

The whole surroundings change and an unknown world presented itself.

"Our world is call Lerium. This is the continents of our world and here..."

Zooming into the largest continent.

"The Archa Empire, our royal family is there."

"That should be enough about our world. Now then... Our royal family are descendants of angels. From time to time, there would be a special chosen child that inherits more of the angel's blood than others."

"Izria was the one from this generation after a thousand years of not having any. But there's also a cruel and ridiculous tradition that goes along with what is suppose to be a blessing."

"If there's a chosen one, all other living descendants must die so that they can be crowned emperor with no power struggle or resistance."

"We were both children at the time when the secret was revealed."

The scene change again.

Two beautiful children are playing in a garden and then fell. The older child looked down and saw the younger one's eyes. They were branded by the birth mark of a chosen descendant.

"Izura... you have to keep it a secret. I don't want to be emperor and I don't want you to die."

"Izria, my lovely baby twin brother knew for a long time that he had the birthmark but kept it hidden. This was when a secret made the two of us inseparable."

"From then on, no matter what happened, we knew we could trust each other."

"So time pass and we grew up."

The scenes fast forward and sometime flash so different scenes. Everyone watch as the two boys grow up relying only on each other.

Anyone watching could tell these twins were soulmates and could never be without the other.

"17 years old. Our father died and our mother went with him in grief. I was the next person to take over the throne, but many protested and tried to oppress me."

"The reason being my younger brother was too capable and excellent. He far exceeded myself and others twice or triple his age."

"When I said so to him. He was furious and cursed them."
