            The tragedy during the baptism ended at last. Fortunately, no one in the gathering died, because Regis managed to secretly use his power to somehow protect everyone. Many trees broke down, several houses and possessions were destroyed, and the palace was slightly damaged. The incident was also experienced by other villages.

            The night puzzled Regis. When he saw Nifera sleeping, he got up from their bed and went through the room of their son which was right next to theirs.  He was thinking too much about what happened while watching at the sleeping child.

            “What happened was not ordinary. There must be something happening in Phirea,” thought Regis.

            “Is there anything bothering you?” Nifera came.

            “Why are you here my love?” asked Regis facing her

            Nifera came close to Regis.  “I noticed that my love was not on our bed, thus I find him.”

            “Sorry, I had interrupted your rest.”

            “I’ll forgive you, if you’ll tell me what’s on your mind.”

            “What happened lately; that was unusual. I suppose there’s something occurring in Phirea.”

            “If it really troubles you, why don’t you go and see for yourself?”

            “No, there’s no reason for me to ascend there after all I’ve done. I believe that Griav, with his reign in Kratos, and Kurthos in Hypoc, there’s no need to become uneasy.”

            “If that’s what you decide, I guess we should not worry.”

            “My place should be here with you, Nifera and Vincent,” he said as he looked at his son.

            “I’m certainly relieved to hear that.” replied Nifera.

            They kissed each other goodnight and came back to their room to sleep.

            The tragedy became a big talk not just in Raffinia but also in the neighboring villages. Negative gossips about the being of the new birth had spread. Some chattered that the child would bring bad fortune to the village.

            Few days had passed. It was passed midnight and most of the people in Raffinia and in the palace were sleeping. The king and queen were in the room of the baby. Regis decided to seal the riukan of his son to avoid the power of the child to wake.

            “I think this is the appropriate time. I should seal the power of our son so he will live normally,” Regis supposed.

            “Is that necessary?” asked Nifera

            “Yes, this child inherits my blood. His existence is absolutely forbidden in our land. If the time comes he realizes his power, Phireans will kill him,” explained Vincent. “Therefore I must seal his power.”

            “I don’t want our son to experience that fate,” bothered Nifera. “You should definitely do it.”

            “Then I should hurry,” told Regis. I have to finish this before the sun rises or the village people learn this.”

            Regis faced down to the sleeping baby.  He stretched his hands unto the child. His eyes suddenly shone. A shimmering yellow light came off from the body of his son, and then a circle of light appeared from the hands of Regis. The scene was so fascinating to Nifera.

            Two hours had already passed, and the sealing was almost done. Nifera, sitting on a chair, had fallen to sleep. Unexpectedly, an enchanted man and a woman appeared from a glowing light that stroke the floor of the room. Regis stopped the sealing and glanced at the persons who just arrived.

            “Long time, Regis,” spoke the lad.
