The Princess And The Lord

When Verrion was still very young, the world was covered with beasts and man-eaters monster that filled the surface of the world, bringing terror and dread to weak humans who were forced to live in dark holes and cold caves like dirty rats, without the ability to protect themselves human can only run and hide from all the monster while trying to survive day to day until one day a man came along with extraordinary powers then took the humans out of the darkness and as if a mark of the rise of humans one by one, more humans were awakened their supernatural powers which were later called as a 'Gift'

Because they believe this a gift from the Gods to the chosen humans and the human who started it all was named Cavio Evarius Lucient though most people used to call him Master Lucient But in the future, no one will know that the first Lucient had a younger sister name Chartheanna Luxana Lucient, the middle name come from her mother name but she is often called by her people Lady Lucient.

In a place surrounded by mountains and hills, there was a valley and there stood a village surrounded by a tall fence made of thick wood and guarded by people who were covered in animal skins from head to toe, and they were all the same size. , good. a straight and sturdy posture each holding a long spear made of sharp metal and a broadsword at their waist while near the gate a watchtower stood upright against the sky inside the tower several people carrying bows and arrows pinned on their backs watching the area around them and behind them there's a drum to send an alarm if there any threat approaches.

All of a sudden one of the watchtower guards noticed a figure slowly approaching instantly he became alert and so did the other guards, quickly all of their attention is drawn to that figure, and they narrowed their eyes to see who was coming warily not long after their face immediately become relaxed.

"Master Lucient is coming, open the gate!" one of the guard towers shouted loudly to the people that guard the gate.

The man below heard the announcement then immediately turned the winch as soon as the gate slowly lifted and then several men came while dragging a cart containing two giant bodies of dead beasts.

The dead beasts were Beasts called Balloons, which looked like bulls but were much bigger and also stronger with long double horns on their heads, the beasts could easily pierce through the thick skin of an adult Wyvern in one strike but most importantly it was Balon's flesh very nutritious and sweeter than the other animals so of course because of that everyone welcomed the catch with joy not to mention with those two big catches their meat source would be safe for at least two weeks.

Everyone cheered happily, they smiled widely when they saw the pile of meat, and even a group of children jumped happily causing the adults couldn't stop laughing.

Their excited reaction is understandable because two years ago they didn't even dare to imagine this, but since they built this village their life has become easier every day.

Amidst the jubilant crowd a woman with long dark blue hair cut through the crowd while walking with a smile on her face towards the group of hunters with a big smile, when the hunters saw her coming they all bowed their heads politely.

"Lady Lucient" they greeted with great respect.

The woman nodded gently and smile brightly "Another fine catch, gentleman" she praised.

The man who led the group was named Cavio Evarius Lucient he was tall and well built, he also had dark bluish hair that was tied up messy at the back of his head, although he was actually quite a handsome face with deep purple eyes unfortunately the thick coarse beard that adorned his face obscured his youthful features, to the point that no one would have thought that the man was only in his early twenty.

"Yo, Thea!" the man beamed, he waved his hand the moment he see his younger sister.

"Look what your father brings, Demy!" Arthea turns around showing a sleeping baby on her back.

The man's face immediately softened, his rough index finger poked the baby's soft cheek and the baby's nose twitched in annoyance as if he was being disturbed, the man looked at his son and the corners of his lips involuntarily turned upwards.

"He's only eight months old, how can he be so fat?"

Arthea scoffed at her brother angrily, "What's fat? This is how a healthy baby should look like!"

Cavio was amused at how protective his younger sister was of his Son, "Okay, okay, but isn't he too heavy for you, want me to carry him?" he looked worriedly at his meek-looking sister.

"Nonsense! Demian isn't heavy at all, right Demy?" Arthea smiled lovingly at the baby on her back. Only arthea called Demian Cavio Lucient, it was common at that time to give the child a middle name with their father's name as a reminder, it was a strong and dignified name but Arthea called the little baby with the name Demy, Cavio said the nickname was too feminine for his supposed to be 'manly' son but Arthea didn't care and Cavio could only give in, who told him to let his sister raise his Son.

"This is all I can do for her, I couldn't save sister-in-law because of that..." her expression filled with sadness and regret.

"Is not your fault" Cavio interrupted hastily "If it wasn't for your forthwith prediction there would be no one left during the attack, who would have thought you and Selena would be separated... if anyone is to be blamed it would be me for not arriving sooner..." the bitterness on the face Cavio was clearly visible, Arthea quickly held her brother's hand.

"Sorry, let's not talk about this anymore!" she quickly cut the conversation off, then change the subject right away "Let's see what Mery and Carlie cook with this fancy meat, shall we!" she pulled Cavio's hand toward the canteen

Cavio was touched by his sister's concern, he doesn't know if he could have made it this far without her, it was Arthea who brought him out of despair after losing his wife, it was she who cared for Demian and guided all of those people by using her gift to predict the future she able to finds a safe place for all of us to start over.

Long ago, after their parents died during the attack by a hungry beast, Arthea and Cavio had no choice but to depend on each other for survival. Unfortunately, no matter how much they tried, they couldn't survive.

The little children eventually fell sick from the poisoned food. After all, it's impossible for two young children to survive in an environment where ferocious giant monsters and dangerous plants rule the world.

As they were dying, the siblings had dreams about people covered with a dazzling light coming on them from the sky and they speak to them in a weird voice as if multiple people speak at the same time and they asked.

'Do you want to live?'

Both of them obviously say "Yes!"

The people in light then ask again "In order to survive you need power so what kinda power do you want?'

Cavio clench his fist and said, "I want a great power to protect my sister from any kind of danger!"

However, when it comes to Arthea she didn't answer right away, she took a long moment to contemplate her decision then eventually she says: "I want the power to predict the danger before it comes to us" she wanted to protect her brother before he gets hurt. Why should fight if they can't avoid it, that's what she thought.

The People that illuminated the light answer solemn voice 'And thus your wish will come true but forget not, that every wish has a price to pay, every power will come with burden and for every life has its mission a destiny to fulfilled, will you accept it?''

Both Arthea and Cavio answer readily "Yes!"

Since that day they were blessed with powers beyond their imagination, Cavio could summon seven swords that could fight against any beast, big or small. they came from and their abilities, he could predict the weather, safe passage, and much more though not all details but enough to guide their way.

Cavio thought the power was all about them but then they met fellow humans who were looking for help, one by one coming to seek their protection, one by one until the dozens and from tens to hundreds without realizing it more and more people followed him plus more people began to wake up their supernatural power that similar to them though not as strong as them.

It was at that time cavio and Arthea realize the mission that the people in light said to them, from then on Arthea and Cavio began to teach those people how to control their power, and how to use it for their benefit and others, soon after they became a great force that supported the humankind later on that power will be called a 'Gift' and those who possessed it were called 'The Gifted' it was that time that starts the beginning of the rise of mankind but soon human will face their biggest threat that never seen before.
