On a dark, gloomy November night, in a remote village in Japan, the wind blows through a quiet, dark forest. Only the sound of the wind which makes all the resolute vegetation dance in this forest. A Shinto shrine hidden in this same forest, near a river. Only the faint light of the fabric lantern illuminates the main room of the sanctuary. We can hear the complaints and moans of pain of a woman who is giving birth. His companion holds his beloved close to him to provide support during this difficult and perilous moment of childbirth. A tall man aged fifty, with an austere appearance and a strong presence, stands near the couple, watching his daughter giving birth. Sachiko, a priestess aged around fifty, accompanied by Ayako, a young apprentice priestess and two midwives take care of the birth. In this Shintô temple, this great master, named Eiji Kushinada, comes from a clan of Shinobi ninja called the Kushida clan, comes with his youngest daughter who must secretly give birth in this temple, this birth must remain in the greatest secrecy. To ward off any enemy attacks, the grand master has posted ninjas around the temple within a radius of 15 km

-     I feel like I'm not going to make it...I'm in too much pain...said the pregnant woman
-    Breathe calmly darling, I'm here with you. His companion told him.
-    I'm afraid Alexander...

Suddenly, the pain of the contractions became stronger, she moaned in pain.

-    That's it, he's coming. Now Keiko, breathe hard and push. Said the midwife

Young Keiko obeys, she takes a breath and begins to push, her companion encourages her and holds her hand.

-    How does it look, Sachiko? Asks the grandmaster.
-    Very good, I see the head coming out. Come on Keiko, one more effort and push.

Keiko catches her breath and pushes again. The midwife manages to get the baby out, he starts to cry. Sachiko smiles.

-    Well done, it's a boy.

Keiko catches her breath, exhausted.

-    Ayako! Come take the baby.

Ayako, one of the young midwives approaches and takes the baby in her arms, Sachiko cuts the cord, the second midwife takes a clean cloth and helps Ayako wrap the baby inside. Sachiko approaches the baby, places her index and middle fingers on his forehead and concentrates.

-    I feel quite distinct powers in him: Psychokinesis and telekinesis and with dragon rider abilities. He will make a great psychic mage and dragon rider.

The great master walks forward slowly, takes his little son in his arms and looks at him while the baby cries. He turns to the young mother and looks at her.

-    What name did you choose for him?

Keiko looks at her father, she smiles at him gently before answering him.

-    Akira....

The grandmaster smiles and looks at his grandson.

-   Akira...you have great potential in you. May you fulfill your destiny to save us from the war that awaits you.
