Prologue: New life
In a place so black that light seemed afraid to even encroach on its borders, three humanoid bodies of light stood in front of one another. One was male and the other two were female.
The female which looked to be oldest of the two looked to be of other worldly beauty that it seemed that the word was made with just her in mind and with every movement she made she seemed to release an aura that screamed mother.
"My children you have you have dedicated your lives to help me take care of all of creation, so much that since the beginning of time you have not so much as taken a single break" she said as she looked at her oldest and most proudest of creations '*****'he was endowed with the concepts of Energy while his other half '*****'she was endowed with the concepts of the physical.
"For all your years of duty I shall grant you the chance to live a mortal life without memories of our life together weighing down and to be free to choose your own destiny because there is nothing more that I can give you". With the way she spoke one would think she felt nothing in that moment but those that knew her could tell that she was torn up by her intentions.
When she finished saying that she kissed each one on the forehead and after that with a flash of light she was left in the void all alone. With no else there her expression fell flat and she seemed like a machine as a '***' she could fake, manipulate or erase her emotions. This time she erased them and this was going to be how she would living out the entirety of existence. She could have made copies of her children but she saw that as an offence to their memories.
Unknown Time Later
My first memory is waking up in warm damp place did I mention it was dark as hell in there, with no knowledge of how I got there, truth be told I knew nothing and by nothing I meant nothing I did not who I was or anything I just had understanding.
My stay in that place was long, how long that was I couldn't tell you because my consciousness kept slipping in and out like my own body did not have the necessary energy to keep me awake and if you ask me how I knew that I couldn't tell you.
Then came the day I say it like that because that day was rough imagine just chilling alone in the same place I got used to calling home then out of no where the water in my crib just left, yeah I too was lost it was the first time in my short life that I did not know what was happening, okay where was again ohhh, it left and several hours later, (what are hours), I was being pushed from all sides by the walls of my own house (imagine betrayed by your own crib) I tried fighting the pressure with all my undeveloped strength and I think I put up a pretty good fight but my energy levels were not up to par and for some reason I felt disrespected so I promised myself to develop them from that day forward.
So the next thing I know my poor eyes were bombarded by the light and with that my life in the dark came to an end.
When my eyes recovered (there were still as blurry as hell though) I was saw an intricately designed room full of giants, (or it's me who small).
An old lady wiped me down and once she saw that I was not crying she wacked my ass let me tell you I was not pleased but all I could do was glare at her and maybe whimper but I did not cry (I protected I honour) and I did something good because she pulled back.
She looked at the women who seemed worn-out who I guess was my new mother it seemed something finally clicked and my mind now knew what was happening.
She said something but I couldn't understand what she was saying "You may rest easy now mistress you gave birth to a healthy young boy" but with words my mother fell asleep, something just felt wrong when I called her mother I don't know what but it felt wrong but I also knew the importance of a mother so not acknowledging that relationship was way worse, so my mind or it seems my soul seemed to settle on calling her my second mother.

Edith's POV
As I watched my lady slip into unconsciousness I looked into the eyes of this peculiar child they also seemed to hold an Spark of understanding that children should not have, unlike what new-borns usually do this one did not cry and when I tried to force it to get a feel of his health he seemed to hate it enough to glare at me, this shocked me enough that I retreated.
Seeing that his mother was now asleep I prepared him for his first meeting with his family. With the operation now complete we had to notify the rest of the household.
After wrapping him in a blanket I made a beeline for the door just as I was about to exit I made sure to tell the remaining maids to clean the mess left behind.
The moment that everyone laid their eyes on us they released a sigh of relief but Lady Eve had other thoughts in mind.
She like most nobles had two sides' personality wise when she was with family and friends she acted like an airhead but with her enemies she was apathetic.
She rushed me and carefully took the new-born from my hands "he's so cute" those words alone were fine but her next ones shocked her husband
"John I want my own" those words turned him as pale as a ghost, the way he reacted showed that even though he and Robert were twins he was not yet ready for children.
She acted like she couldn't tell but it was obvious she knew what she was doing, Lord John too seemed to be in the loop but it seemed that he just wanted to go along with his wife's whims I always thought that was the reason to their great marriage.
John unlike his twin brother seemed to go with the flow, he was well known in noble society for not having that great of a drive, most siblings in noble society always fought for inheritances but he just said he was okay with helping his brother as was too lazy to rule.
The Childs Grand Parents seemed content with waiting till the young ones were done as they were standing by the side.
I gave the family space and went to stand right by my Husbands side. The excitement in the room seemed to be too much as he had already fallen asleep.
...…
I don't know when it is that I fell asleep. But damn was that a good nap but I kind of miss my old home it just the right amount of moisture.
When I looked around it seemed that the old hag was no longer caring me around and now a woman who seemed to be in her mid-Twenties was caring me.
We entered the room where I was born you want to know how I know well my answer "I remember it" well it seemed that I can't forget anything or my memory is good so good in fact, but I had an inkling that the chances that it was the former were higher than the chances of it being the latter.
Inside I was once again face to face with my (second) mother the smile she had the moment she laid her eyes on me was a sight for sore eyes, I involuntary began to cry in that moment all I wanted was my mother. Seeing me stretching out my arms for my mother the woman holding me didn't waste time and handed me to my mother, I am not ashamed to say I cried in her bosom.
"There, there mother is here for you" now I don't know the language here but those words calmed me down.
"He seems to really like you Elaine I'm jealous he seemed to not even want to spend any time with me with the way he cried for you" one the ladies said with a sad face I couldn't understand so all I gave her was a blank look.
"So Robert what name have you chosen for your firstborn" with those words a lean looking man came closer to us he seemed to want to smile but his face showed that it was not used to it, it was so funny that I laughed, that brought a real smile to his face he brought me up to his face and uttered the "Leon von Auric"
I just knew that was my name so for that I gave my family the brightest smile I could manage.
