Fall of Hecate

The night was so dark that darkness almost felt tangible. A small noble family 'Whitlock' of the Ablon Empire was re-living their worst nightmare. It was 3rd stillborn child of Elora and Drake (head of the family). The family was going through rough time , their family was at the bottom of small noble families just steps away of being stripped away of their title of being noble by the Ablon Empire. In these past few years they were being continuously mocked by other noble families and this mockery had gone to such extend , that the head Drake has been avoiding any parties held by other families as they would spare no efforts to belittle Drake and mock their situation.

There was a time when these same families would leave no occasion to flatter him to a great extend, as some years back the Whitlock family was on the threshold of small noble families and were to be promoted to be a mid noble families by the Ablon empire. Unfortunately some years back , out of 7 most powerful cultivators of the Withlock Family 4 went missing. This incident left his family and his town to suffer, all the responsibilities were shouldered by the 29 year old Drake. (Drake had dirty silver hair with deep black eyes and a broad warrior build which looked somewhat intimidating) Even though he tried his best, but it seems that luck had forsaken them. His wife was giving birth to stillborn babies and this was the last nail in the coffin.

It was their 3rd still born child and Drake had lost all his hopes and was weeping in the corner of the room .Even the maids present there were sobbing and cursing the gods above. They loved and respected both Lady Elora and Lord Drake, as both of them have never mistreated them. Having slaves, maids and workers and exploiting them was common in this world. Withlock family was against the slave tradition, even Drake's Grandfather who was the one to get his Withlock family in ranks of nobles never practiced slave tradition, he always believed fear and oppression can never buy loyalty and this mind set was carried down the generation of Withlock family. All the servants and maids were grateful and loyal to the Withlock family and if had been possible they would have had taken all the Withlocks family's misfortune for themselves . "God why is this happening to us, why me and my family has to suffer so much, is there no end to this suffering". Drake shouted looking towards the roof with teary red eyes. He has never in his life has done injustice to any and has never mistreated any even though they were commoners, Never have he tried misusing his powers or status to exploit others. As he was about to fall down on his knees, there was a loud thunder, the thunder seemed like it pierced the darkness and it looked like the lighting created fissure marks in the sky that illuminated the whole town. Soon, as everything was at standstill , Kaya the old head maid who was helping Elora in here labour shouted in astonishment. " Lordddddd Drake your baby is moving , it seems he is alive" tears rolled down her eyes , shock and genuine happiness could be easily heard from her words.

Hearing Kaya, Drake almost jumped and then he saw the most beautiful and the most precious life , the baby had almond blue eyes that looked curious , with small nose and narrow nostrils his hair were pale silver which looked almost white . "But kaya why is he not crying, is he alright" Drake had seen hope and now he did not wanted it to be a false one. "Don't worry lord there are few cases where the baby does not cry, your baby boy seems healthy and a strong one too"

Babies POV

'huh what is happening, was I not fighting the other Asura Lords, how am I here and I cannot feel any strength' looking around Hecate could not understand the situation he was in. There were human around him all were crying but those tears seemed to be tears of joy. Hecate the Asura Lord was amazed. He was an Asura and not just any Asura an Asura lord who has taken millions of lives, he was amazed that the people around him had love in their eyes rather than terror or anger which was the most alien emotion to him. "We will name you Nile" Drake said with a smile while wiping his tears . 'Its so strange I think the other Asura lords killed my body and now I am reincarcerated as a baby, ZZZZZZ but WHYYYYYYY a human baby anything would have been better even being a slime would have been 100 times better. I think the others don't know I am still alive cause they would have spared no effort to kill me, even destroying this planet would not have been a big deal for them'.

"Ohh God finally you have listened to us, I am so happy". It was after a long time this small noble family has felt happiness but little did they knew that this cute little boy was an Asura lord , he was cunning and ruthless and these traits were backed by his strength which made him feared even by the other Asura lords and Devas. This was the reason the other Lords plotted on killing Hecate as he was a threat .

"Drake, my baby, please show me his face, please" Elora managed to speak, trying her best to not fall unconscious before seeing her baby". Drake quickly but gently laid Nile (Hecate) before his wife, who was exhausted and was about to lose consciousness.

Seeing the cute baby, she let out a warm and motherly smile as a tear rolled down her eye and she fell unconscious.

"Why do I feel so warm seeing her, it's been a while I have not felt any malicious intent from someone let alone warmth and love and not just her but everyone in the room has a warm feeling towards me, this feels strange." Hecate who have lived his live all alone and massacred millions felt something new something warm for the first time in his life of thousands of years, and he was still considered young in his Asura World (Abyss).

"Kaya heal Elora " Drake said, his eyes still fixed on his baby. Kaya started using healing magic on Elora to tone down her fever.

'Ohh, this world is not as bad as I was thinking, it has magic, looks like this woman name is Elora and she is my mother who just gave birth to me and it seems like the man is my father whose name is Drake. Drake and Elora both seem to have better clothes than other, they maybe of higher birth or more powerful, and seeing even the maid using magic it looks like magic is not something scarce in this world. It is not as bad as I was thinking it to be. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'. Hecate let out a huge Yawn which was not suitable for a baby .

"hahahahah" everyone let out a burst of laughter, it had been a while since anyone laughed or even smiled in the Withlock mansion. Nile(hecate) then fell asleep as he was a newborn baby and had almost no strength. Everyone looked at this beautiful baby boy sleeping beside his mother and everyone sighed as this night had been an emotional roller coaster.

This is the story of an Asura who failed.
