Chapter 1: The Birth of the Prophecy

In the grand Thornwood estate of the Elysian Empire, a secret prophecy has been passed down through generations. Known only to the head of the Thornwood family, it has now reached the ears of the 5th generation, Lord Cedric Thornwood, the current Count of Thornwood.

The prophecy foretold the birth of a child with dual souls, a split personality. This prophecy has now come to pass. Lady Elara Thornwood, the rare attribute soul mage and the mother of the child, possesses a profound understanding of her son's dual nature since his birth. Her abilities enable her to perceive hidden truths and unravel whispered secrets.

Lord Cedric Thornwood, the third strongest aura swordsman of the empire, is the father of the child. Upon learning of their son's dual soul, he feared for his son's life. He confided in Lady Elara, "If anyone learns about the child's dual nature, it would be a disaster."

Despite the child's dual souls, they accepted both sides of their son. In their wisdom, they decided to bestow two names upon him. Lord Cedric said, "Eamon for the known," and Lady Elara added, "Noctis for the hidden half."

Lord Cedric shared the prophecy of Thornwood with Lady Elara, "Our Thornwood family's secret prophecy is when a child of dual soul will be born in Thornwood. The child of dual soul shall decide Thornwood's and all realms' fates."

Lady Elara agreed, "We must keep this secret from everyone, even from our son, until he is 16 and ready to know about the existence of his dual soul." Thus, they acknowledged the intricate duality within his soul—the known Eamon and the mysterious counterpart Noctis—keeping their secret from everyone else.

Eamon and Noctis's existence is like a whispered secret, remains veiled, waiting to be unraveled by those who dare to delve deeper into the mysteries of his being.
