Origin

Prologue

Screams echoed from a room in a rundown clinic, midwives frantically encouraged a sweaty woman to push.

Suddenly, there was silence, then the cry of a baby echoed.

All the midwives looked relieved.

A man-the doctor-held the baby up in the air, he then looked at the woman, "Your kid is a healthy baby boy." He told her.

A weary smile crept up her face, tears welling up in her eyes, she wanted to hold him in her hands but she knew that she was too weak at the moment and she needed rest.

"I'll call him Valentine, after this day he was born," She said as she leaned back into the bed.

The Doctor brought the boy closer to his mother.

"Welcome to the world Valentine Prince." She said fondly as she leaned forward to kiss his forehead, then she leaned back and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Meanwhile for the first time since being born, Valentine opened his eyes to the world.

The doctor shivered as he stared into Valentine's eyes, which seemed to hold an unnatural intelligence.

***
In that exact moment when Valentine Prince was born an profound aura swept across the world permeating even through all the dimensions and subworlds alerting various unfathomable beings.

In the depth of a humongous floating volcano in the expanse of space, a huge flaming giant opened his eyes that resembled pools of molten coal.

"This aura." He frowned. "It's a primordial being reborn. But who? All primordials are accounted for.

"It seems like I must descend on earth once more, I haven't been there since that pesky woman slayed my avatar, I must determine if a primordial died and was reborn without my knowledge or if the #### has deemed for a new primordial to be born."

On a radiant golden throne, a youth lounged, he had platinum blonde hair and electric blue eyes.

He suddenly jolted up with a frown, before his lips spread into a wide grin. "Earth seems to have become much more interesting."

***
Standing in front of the very hospital where Valentine was born was a young man, he wore a grey sweatshirt and black sweatpants with a pair of zebra patterned slides, he had black hair and crimson eyes.

He frowned as he stared upwards towards the window of the nursery where Valentine was kept.

"I can sense my blood in that child, I'm sure that I'm the father but why can I sense that snake's blood too?" The man murmured.

The man suddenly turned to see another young man standing beside him in a spot that was very much empty a moment ago.

This young man had spiky golden blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, but unlike the first man, his face sported a wide grin.

"I see you have noticed my little present," The blonde said.

"Samael!" The black haired man growled.

The blonde scowled. "You know better than anyone how I hate that name, I believe everyone calls me Lucifer"

"What do you want?" The black haired man asked. "Why are you interfering?"

"Don't be such a downer Cain, I'll have you know that I'm not your enemy, it's just that I feel that your new pawn can serve me well without ruining your plans." Lucifer said.

"He is not a pawn, he's my son." Cain said. "And how are you even here, no gateway to hell has been summoned by your morbid worshipers as far as I know."

Lucifer chuckled, " This was possible due to the help of your dear 'lover'."

"You understand that when a contract is made with me I am given access to powers far beyond my means to make sure that I fulfil my own end." Lucifer said. "Your lover made a pact with me and it involves your dear son, that is why I can send an avatar here without being punished."

"What pact?" Cain said, his voice calm but his crimson eyes blazing with fury.

"Welp, that's for you to find out." Lucifer said with a chuckle.

Lucifer walked away from the hospital. "Don't worry, we'll be seeing each other more often in the future, but for now I'll leave you to care for your kid."

Cain stared at Lucifer's departing figure, the expression on his face unreadable, he then looked back up at the nursery window.

Cain then stepped back as a shadowy smoke shrouded his figure and then vanished along with him.
