The Bloodline Never Dies - Arcane

Interlude: You were born...

Everyone has a story. Some are sadder than others. Some happier. You'll be the judge of this one.

"It's a little boy" The doctor said 

"What will you name him?" The nurse asked

"Aceson...My little Aceson" Ace's mother said while she held a baby boy. Who was Ace. 

"Aceson...my little fighter" Vander said as he leaned down to look down at the baby in his wife's arms. Ace brought happiness to his mother. 

For the first time in a long time. During her whole pregnancy she was sad and stressed. 

The poor woman couldn't even sleep well at night. 

But finally once her little boy was finally born she was at ease for once and was able to relax and be happy. 

"Isn't he beautiful, Darling?" His mother asked Vander.

"He's as beautiful as you. He looks so much like you" Vander responded. 

Soon someone knocked on the door.  Vander looked at the door and so did his wife.  Vander looked at his wife and his wife nodded to let them in.

"Come in!" Vander said before he saw the door open and saw Benzo. An old friend of his. 

"Hey! Benzo" Vander said as he went over and gave him a hug while Benzo was already walking over to him hugging him.

"Ey! Congrats on the new baby! Lemme see the little squirt" Benzo said as he walked over to Vander's wife. 

His wife smiled softly as he let Benzo see the baby. "Hey Roha how are you doing, sweetheart" Benzo said.

Roha was a nickname that Benzo had given Vander's wife. Her real name was Iroha. 

Roha giggled before she smiled at Benzo "I'm just fine now. Now that he's out" She said

"Huh? It's a boy now?" Benzo said and Vander nodded "Woo! At least we know the bloodline carries on and our home is in good hands once we old hags are gone!" Benzo said. 

"Yes. He'll be great. I'll teach him everything I know...Honey didn't you want to give him something?" Vander asked his wife.

"Ah yes..when he's old enough I want to pass down my family's Katana to him. My father gave it to me before he died and I want to give it to him when he's older. Of course to keep and by the time he's older most likely we'll be at peace...I hope we are" Iroha said as she looked down at her baby.

"I can't imagine my poor baby out there fighting at risk of losing his life" Iroha said as she kissed her baby's cheek softly.

"Yeah...Don't worry Roha we'll take good care of him. The little squirt gonna be just like his old man" Benzo said and patted Vander's back. 

"Yeah...I'll protect him...I'll keep him safe and away from violence...I promise my love I will" Vander said and he gave a soft kiss on Iroha's forehead. 

"Thank you" Iroha said and softly smiled. 

"Am I interrupting something?" A man said at the door. Benzo, Vander and Iroha looked at the door. 

Their eyes met with Silco's eyes. 

A few days before Silco is to be drowned by Vander. 

"Silco.."Iroha said. Iroha always felt a bit off about Silco but she only was allowing him near her because he's Vander's brother.  

"Silco...Didn't expect you to come" Vander said as he stood up. 

"May I see?" Silco said as he looked over at the sleeping baby in Iroha's arms. Vander looked over at Iroha before she nodded to let him.
