NARRATOR-Belus was standing in front of the river, it was night and the water was cold, the air windy as Belus took off his shirt and a bit worried and scared he started to walk into the water, taking deep breaths as the river started to glow, Belus looked back at his village and held his breath, but he didn't have to dive too deep as he saw a glowing dot. He swam towards it and saw a little roots had taken place and  little leaves were growing under the water, he got out and took more breaths and went towards the growing tree. He saw scrolls next to the growing tree, glowing in golden letters, written in unknown tongues, then he saw gems of different colors sparkling and vibrating different auras, then there were 12 rings each had different animals carved on them...

Belus(thinking)-Animal spirits...that's the power to defeat the king...

He started to grab them one by one but as he got all of them and put them in his pocket, he looked up in front of him and a cave was glowing, he put one of the rings on his fingers and wanted to swim towards the cave but he started to feel pain, and under the water Belus's skin started to rip apart as animal marks started to become visible, his human DNA was transformed that of many colors as he started to shapeshift into the animals that were being marked on his body and his skin glowing of the animal marks. Then the mark of Ophiuchus was glowing bright on his forehead...

Belus lost consciousness.

King Durin I-And who is this?...

He looked at a toddler boy...

Mother-Please, your majesty he's only 4, he doesn't know how to talk correctly yet.
