"Good afternoon sir, may I take your coat and suitcase?" The old man says
"Yes you may Zolo, and..." Looks back at Mary "... Show Mary where she can stay..." He takes off his coat and gives the suitcase and coat to Zolo "... Mary I need you to follow him and if I do remember there are traditional Betrayed clothing for women up in your sleeping quarters. Mother thought I was going to a girl, hints the name Daniel, it was originally Danielle."
"That's... A little weird."
"The name?"
"The way you were named, you were thought up as a girl, but came out a boy. It's just strange."
"Yes, I guess it is. Now, go to your room and get dressed, There's a celebration today."
Mary still looked a bit confused, but she nods and follows Zolo. While they are upstairs Daniel, being the freewill he is, makes his way to the dinning room.
He steps through the door frame, his mother is sitting down at the end of the table (this was a long table about as long as one of the Harry Potter dinning tables, or at least a bit smaller). Lucy, like always, drinking away he duties in the evening, but sadly, she can only be drunken for five minutes after drinking ten wine bottles, she's on her fifth at the moment.
"My little Daniel!" Lucy smiles and rushes over to give to kiss on the cheek to her son. "So how's my Little warrior doing today? Sorry I wasn't here in the morning, the general needed to be whipped, I swear, he does that shit to be whipped."
"Mother, you don't need to tell me that..." Daniel says while he looks out the window in discuss. "... It's really gross to be honest."
"I'm sorry, you know how I get on my fifth bottle, a little tipsy!" She smiles.
"Yes, I know."
Mary pokes her head out from behind the door frame.
"And who is this?" Lucy smiles and walks over to her. "What's your na..." She stops talking and drops to her knee. "Who are you and why are you in my kingdom?" She glares.
"Mother, she's with me. She's my client. She doesn't really have a place to go so I decided to take her home." Daniel explains with a calm voice.
"Oh! My little warrior is growing up!" Lucy stands up and moves back to her seat at the dinning table. "I cannot wait for your celebration today Daniel! I remember when I first turned thirteen!..." She stops to picture it. "... Oh..." She remembers. "... That's when your uncle was born, asshole..." She keeps rambling while drinking wine and starts to ignore the world around her.
"So, little warrior?" Mary asks while giggling.
"Oh, by the queens whip. You want to why, right?" Daniel reacts.
"Sure, got nothing better to do until the celebration starts."
"Right, well..." He stops to think about it. "... My mother used to that I looked like him; "The Face of a Warrior" and well that takes care of the "warrior" part, now for the little part..." He at himself. "... I'm short."
Mary laughs but tries to hid it.
"Not funny." He glares at Mary.
Mary looks around, not trying to look at Daniel, she then looks down at her dress and asks: "Oh, what do you think of the dress? A little too much?"
"It's traditional, it looks fine I guess" Daniel answers.
"So what do you do for fun around here? Over where I'm from we just kick sand around or do chores like fetch the water or feed the animals." Mary tries to start a conversation.
Daniel stands still and thinks about it. "Well I guess we have golf. It's not very fun but it's something."
"Oh okay, I guess that's something."
"ye-" Daniel is interrupted by the sound of the door knocking. "Zolo! Get the door, our guests have arrived."
Zolo runs to the door and opens it, ten people came in. after three minutes that number doubled, after ten, it quintupled. A total of one hundred people, Daniel asked for a small party so he got a small party. This is may be a little over kill for you but I now have to ask; have you ever partied with a betrayed? If you answered "yes," don't expect me to congratulate you, "why?" You may ask, well that's because I can't hear you, and you now look insane in front of your friends and family, and IF you're already insane, then congratulations; you're doing what you do best, keep it that way brotha!
The party went on for about five hours once the but once the clock struck twenty-one everyone got quiet. It's time for the gifts to be picked.
Everyone moves from throughout the house to the dinning room, Daniel sits in the middle of the table. they blindfold him with a wine red scarf. he hears five bowls being laid down in front of him, afterwards he hears content being poured into the each bowl. In his mind he thought;
"Liquid? heavy object? Nothing? The forth one sounds like grain. Nothing in the last one."
Slowly they remove the blindfold. there's the five bowls, fire; blue, and cold to the touch. A green stone; it pulses like a heart glowing every time it thumps. A red scarf; not really sure what a fashionable accessory is doing in a bowl don't ask me the person who's making me read this is a lunatic, but it was a crimson red scarf, long enough to reach someone's knee. A pile of glowing yellow sand; it glows and dulls, but darkens as it continues. The last bowl has an orb made of shadows, it's cold, and a slight color of purple.
Daniel looks at the bowls, he looks at the orb of shadows.
"I want that one" He goes to grab the orb but is quickly stopped by his mother.
"I'm sorry Daniel, I can't let you pick that one." Lucy says while stopping Daniel's hand.
"W-why not?" He looks up at his mother and a box in his mother's opposite hand catches his eye. "What's that?"
"What's what?" She looks at the box, it's black, with a red ribbon wrapping it and keeping it closed, a present. "Oh, this? It's your future." she smiles and give the present to him. "not a lot of people know this but there is a sixth option to take on your thirteenth birthday. This gift is called Chaos."
Daniel look up at his mother and take the gift, he quickly opens it and sees a small mirror.
"Daniel, this is the mirror of Chaos. Now please look at yourself with it." Lucy requests.
Daniel takes the mirror out of the box, small enough to cover your palm, it's made from gold (this isn't a rare material, but it is praised in this kingdom). Daniel then looks into it;
He sees a young boy, but then his eyes quickly change to black, the reflection then grows the horns of a goat, but only to then be broken off. he looks at his clothes in the reflection; a black suit, with a red tie.
He looks up at his mother and asks "What did I just see?"
"Your future" She replies. "Now look down"
Daniel quick looks down and notices that his clothes have changed, a black suit with a red tie.
"Congratulations my son, you've been marked as the next to the throne." She smiles and hugs him, holding him closely.
