Chapter 3 Birth

Planet Earth

Waiting Area, New Dawn Hospital, New York City

A handsome man paced anxiously in the waiting area, his mind consumed with worry. Another man, older but bearing a striking resemblance, entered the room and spoke, "How is she, Sam?" Sam, his face etched with concern, replied, "They just took her to the OR. There was a complication, and they might have to operate. Dad, if anything happened to her or our son, I don't know what I would do." The older man placed a comforting hand on Sam's shoulder and reassured him, "I remember being in the same position when you were born. I was so anxious, but it all worked out in the end, didn't it? Ellie's going to be fine." He chuckled and added, "I can't imagine the look on your competitors' faces if they saw the ruthless Guildmaster of New Dawn Guild, Samuel Chase, like this."

Suddenly, a thunderous clap echoed through the air, capturing their attention. They turned their gaze towards the window, witnessing the night sky illuminate with a colossal bolt of lightning that vanished as quickly as it had appeared. Unbeknownst to them, this was no ordinary lightning but the manifestation of a wandering soul that had finally completed its mission.

Moments later, a nurse emerged from the operating room, wearing a joyful expression. She announced, "Congratulations! The delivery was a success. Both mother and baby are safe." Before she could share further details, Sam, overwhelmed with emotion, engulfed her in a hug before rushing into the OR. Stunned, the nurse could only stand there, speechless. The older man approached her, offering an apology for his son's actions. He then uttered words that nearly caused her to faint on the spot, "Every employee at New Dawn Hospital can expect a very nice bonus this year." Collecting herself, she managed a nod before Sam returned, his cold tone cutting through the air as he inquired, "Where are my wife and child?" Startled, the nurse flinched, prompting the older man to scold his son, "Go to the maternity ward, you idiot. Ellie should be resting there. And stop scaring the nurse. She is just doing her job."

Sam appeared as though he wanted to say something in response but refrained, taking a deep breath instead. He offered his apologies and made his way towards the maternity ward.

In the serene confines of the maternity ward, a beautiful woman lay asleep. Beside her, a baby boy slumbered peacefully in a crib. Sam approached them, gently planting a kiss on the woman's forehead. Her eyes fluttered open, filled with a drowsy awareness. "How are you feeling?" Sam inquired. Ellie, still groggy, replied, "Just a little tired." His gaze shifted to the baby, a profound admiration evident in his eyes. "He is beautiful." At that moment, the older man entered the room and inquired, "Have you decided on a name?" A smile graced Ellie's lips as she responded, "Yes, we have. Arnold, his name is Damien, Damien Chase." The cry of the baby drew their attention, prompting Ellie to say, "He must be hungry. Give him to me." She extended her arms, eager to hold her child. Sam carefully lifted the baby, noticing something remarkable. "His eyes..." Arnold, curious about what had captivated his son's attention, leaned closer to catch a glimpse of his grandson. He discovered that Damien's eyes were heterochromatic—one violet, and the other a deep red. "He's special, ain't he?" Ellie remarked as she cradled the baby. Arnold turned to Sam and declared, "You know what that means, right?" Sam nodded, a mixture of awe and anticipation coursing through him. "He has already Awakened."
