Alkur, a village located in the island of Kylobe, was a village known for its vast use of magic. The village was ruled by Aria, a cocky but intelligent and powerful sorceress, but people know her as 'The Great One'.

Years have past and the village's psychic named Sheer predicted that Aria will give birth to a boy, which she will name Zhia. Sheer also told Aria that he would possess a powerful, unique magic, a special type of magic that can bring peace to the world, but also bring suffering around the ones he love. Aria was shocked to hear this news....but was also terrified, that her soon to be offspring would cause both peace and destruction.

Nine months later, Aria delivered the child and named him Zhia, but Aria wasn't sure what to do after. She didn't want to kill the new born, but she also didn't want to keep and raise him...

What happens next, you may asked.. well let's find out.

Aria's P.O.V:
"What am I suppose to do?" I kept wondering while looking at my son. I crept closer and rubbed his little belly and he giggles in response. I quickly turned around..just to not see his face..his face that shows happiness. All of a sudden, I felt streams of water trailing down my face.

"Stop laughing! This is not funny!" I looked at him again and he just giggled again. I wiped away my tears and quickly called in my closest companion, Ura.

"You called me superior?" Ura asked as she bowed before me.

"Yes... I did." I replied and picked up the baby and put on him in a sacred robe and placed him in a small crib.

"I want you to take this child..my child.....my son.. to the Forbidden Forest Of Souls."

Ura looked at him at me with horror, but never questioned my doings. She nodded and took the child and walked out and as they were out of sight, I fell to the floor, weeping.

"I love you Zhia. I hope you can forgive me."

Ura's P.O.V:
I arrived at the entrance of the forest and I looked at the child. He looked so peaceful and happy, 'why would Aria ask me to do this' I kept wondering, but I know I couldn't question my superior's decision.

I took in a deep breath and walked in. Wherever you look, all you see in the bodies of fallen warriors and sorcerers. It's so terrifying yet sad, for this used to be a warzone. As I continued walking, I saw a silhouette slowly approaching me.

"Who dare enter the forest without the permission of Aria?" I glared at the silhouette while getting into fighting position.

"Do not worry young one, for I will not harm you and I don't need Aria's permission to be here..for I live here." The silhouette responded as he approached me. He was an old man, with an eye patch and a scar on his neck.

"You must be Ura, daughter of the legendary warrior Hanzo, a man who once took out a whole army by himself." I looked at him in confusion.

"How do you know my father old man?" I asked.

"Well I was your father's close friend, but that's a story for another day. For now I'm here to take this child." He said looking at the child.

"Wait! I don't even know you!" I angrily responded and he chuckled.

"Where are my manners? My name is Jillian, even at your age, I'm sure you know who I am." I looked at him with excitement.

"I can't believe it's you, you're a true legend!!!" I screamed with glee.

I looked at the child and looked at Jillian. I nodded and gave him the child.

"When you get back, tell Aria that I'll take care of him and to not worry." I nodded and began walking back.

What will happen next in Zhia's adventure and how would Aria react to Zhia being in the hands of Jillian? Only time will tell
