“Is he fine?”, said Elena, the mother of the newborn. “Everything was fine before he started crying and then, and then… this black smoke nearly killed him, who did this to him Dunwood!!”

Dunwood himself was one of the strongest men in the village, but even he had never seen something like this before. But he knew that this type of energy was way beyond his understandings, and if it had wanted to kill the newborn it might have already done it. But it seemed like the newborn was fine, as it slept soundly with a smile on it’s face and some saliva dripping down it’s lips.

“Don’t worry Elena, he is fine the black smoke did not harm him. We will keep watch of him and stay in the village for the upcoming weeks to see if anything happens to him, and if nothing happens we will visit the Shixiong Clan like we intended to.”

Elena was once again reminded of that despicable sect, ah, why is life so unfair? They did not only rob and destroy households, now they even demanded a monthly contribution of raw materials? Did they not have any face for the Vancun family? Although it was true that they were how many miles away from the main sect, if it came hard on hard they could still request help and then even the Shixiong Sect’s backing would not have any leeway to ask for forgiveness!

“Do you have to go? Can we not simply refuse and call your grandfather if they really do not back down?”

Dunwood sighed as he looked at the horizon, “We can not call them every time we have some trouble, where would my face be left? Don’t worry about these small fries, you should rather think of a good name for this handsome boy here.”

With his he left and closed the door, and as soon as he arrived in his room he sank to the ground.

“What was this symbol? Where have I seen this before? ‘King’….”

Back in the tavern the woman named Elena swayed the child back and forth, thinking of a suitable name. The child looked at her with his dark blue eyes, blinking and smiling as if it wanted to wash away all the worries from the woman’s face. She began to smile as well as she decided on a name.

“You will be called Damian, Damian, the one who tames and subdues.”

As if it liked the name, the newborn started to giggle and wiggled with his legs and arms, as if he had already started his quest to subdue the world.
