Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Death and Despair

Inside the hospital of Avalon, Tracey sits outside the door leading into a room with a bed. On the bed was Emilee as she pushed with all her might. Doctors encourage her to keep pushing as one of them is crouched on the other end of the bed, waiting for the baby to come.

Just as the baby was coming out both the baby and the inside of Emilee brightly glow blue. The doctor covers their eyes from the blinding light. Emilee grits her teeth and yells in pain pushing out the baby. Hearing her voice through the door, Tracey runs up to the door worried something happened but stops just before it. He looks down the door contemplating on whether to go in or not. That was until he saw the glowing from under the door, thus without thinking twice he barged through the door worried to death.

At the same time Emilee gave life to her child, with the doctor carefully taking the baby out. Emilee, barely having any energy left, looks over at Tracey.

"Hey, someone come here and help me supply her mana!"

A doctor that's holding Emilee's arm yells. Another doctor ran over to help out but it was already too late.

"Tra-cey"

Emilee weakly calls to her husband, immediately making him run over to her and hold her hand and propping her head up with the other almost on the verge of tears.

"Save your breath, d-don't waste your energy"

He tightly holds her hand but not enough to damage it.

Emilee smiles at him albeit weakly, it's a smile nonetheless.

"Arvel.. promise.. you'll.. protect him.. while im gone.."

She grew weaker with every breath drawn as the light in her eyes slowly fades.

"No no, Emilee please, don't leave me.. please, Emilee don't leave us."

Tears ran down Tracey's face, ultimately leading him to a messy cry. Doctors yell at each other trying to keep Emilee living but ultimately leading nothing. Everything felt like they were moving in slower motion than before. Tracey yells out in tears mourning her death, as Doctors run all over the place trying to figure what happened and some although futile try to supply her with mana but leading to no results.

Days later. Tracey stands in front of a grave holding his child in his arms. On the grave writes

'Emilee Darwin'

The kindest woman, and most loyal in Avalon

Rain pours down on Tracey and the baby. His gaze then falls down to the baby. That's when the baby first opens his eyes. Tracey's eyes grew more saddening.

"Just like your mother's eyes.."

He shakily takes in a deep breath, biting his bottom lip, he then steals himself. He suddenly kneels in front of the grave and kisses it before putting his forehead on it. While doing this he notices Arvel touch the grave with a look of curiosity and softly smiles.

"I'll protect him at all costs.. I promise Emilee."
