Year 9550 A.Bunk.

In the city of Fara, capital of Templat Lahir (West Epirus) a big stunning woman’s scream was heard from Lord Nor Patmus’s House (an important political leader). While Alcorth Sneaked from the room’s corner, watching how the sweat drops joined his mother’s tear; sweat and tears caused by an enormous pain she felt that moment, he did not understand very well what was going on in that room and why his mother was in such situation. One of the women that were assisting Alcorth’s mother got close to him, she grabbed him by his arm and took him to the door saying:

Don’t worry my child, this is completely normal. Go outside and wait with the others. Your mother will be alright after this, I promise.

What can I do? I will hurt her too much? I’m scared that she could… - Alcorth got out of the room having many thought in his mind. Unbelievable, it was the kind of worry a four-year-old boy like him had in that moment.

Walking in circles, his patience started to lack over his slim and little body, he looked every possible corner from the room he was, he walked in circles over and over again. His father noted his behavior and worry, by only grabbing his shoulder said with the most pleasant calm:

Don’t worry my son, nothing bad is going to happen – His father stopped him right away - Your mother is well attended - His words made him feel comfortable and he could clear his mind.

Looking at the window his thoughts were interrupted, because he noted a strange climate change. The sky turned cloudy from out of nowhere, turning from a sunny bright day to another dark and overwhelming, his eyes opened to such mysterious event. These kind of environments made him feel anxious and amazed; at that very moment, he could feel how some rare energy ran through his body; as a kid, he could not describe the feeling he had inside him and by that he felt scared.

Surprisingly, he saw a shining that lighted up the sky as fast as when it turned grey, a few moments later the expected baby had born. The nurses carefully cleaned the baby’s bloody body, nevertheless the happiness did not last too much because the baby was stiff and breathed with certain difficulty. The nurses immediately scanned the baby’s body, something that made the things even weirder by the reason that the baby had his values completely normal.

One of the nurses got close to Lord Nor (his father) with the baby on her arms and whispered him:

My Lord, the baby is really healthy, but he’s dying, we don’t understand what’s wrong with him. We already scanned him and everything is fine. His cells are having a normal but perfect behavior – Said as low as possible so that Ameda could not listen anything.

What is wrong my dear? – Asked his wife while Lord Patmus took his son on his arms.

Do not worry, sweetheart, He is a Patmus, strong and fighter by nature – He did a pause, sighing, he did a thick swallow and took air again – My son, show the strength you heir from your ancestors.

Lord Nor did not realize that Alcorth entered to the room and was getting closer to them; while Lord Nor spoke to the baby, Alcorth his brother’s hand. In that moment a surprising but roaring thunder that came from the northwest to the southwest seemed like tearing the sky apart, but it faded by the baby’s cry that apparently came back to life. A second after that the baby started to move, Alcorth was stunned by the crying grabbed his father’s leg looking for shelter and protection, his father looked at him and said:

There is nothing to worry about, my son – His face enlightened with pride and joy – Come, I want you to meet Mizarth Patmus, your brother.

The four-year-old boy took his brother’s little hand and looking him straight said:
