Priest Roygar had come with two orbs, both orbs were priceless treasures of the Phoenix clan. One orb measured the talent of the new-born while the other orb measured the elemental affinity.

The Phoenix clan was a warrior clan and held a peculiar practice. They believed that just like when breeding horses and dogs. A favourable looking and strong horse would make for a preferable breeding partner, giving a strong offspring. The stronger males of the clan would look for strong female warriors to give birth to even stronger offspring.

This was especially true in Alexander’s family. In Everlon everyone was born with a natural talent rated from half star to 9 stars it represented their natural comprehension towards the manipulation of worlds mana.

On average people only had one star or two stars, while 3-star talents were considered above average while four and five stars were considered rarest of rare geniuses. Augustus was a five-star talent he rose to the position of chief of the Phoenix clan and married Luna a strong light clan elemental giving birth to Alexander, a six-star prodigy._.

Alexander was the first true king of Avalon the land of fire and hence it spoke volumes about how much a six-star talent could achieve, however, God blessed him with an even more talented son in Percy who was born with a six and a half star talent.

The entire kingdom of Avalon celebrated the birth of the first prince and was happy that he was a talent a notch above his father. Initially, a lot of people opposed the marriage of Alexander to Sierra, Sierra was an inferior ice elemental user with a fragile body, nobody thought she was worthy of being the queen of Avalon. However, she quickly won over the citizens with her administrative efficiency and public welfare reforms. Also after the first prince’s birth , who was someone more talented than Alexander, nobody had any qualms anymore.

This was emboldened by the fact that Alexander had 0 tolerance with matters regarding Sierra and had single-handedly wiped two major clans who slandered the queen in a single night.

Alexander first took the talent orb and patted Ronan’s head, The little one had only opened his eyes not long ago, and here he was being branded for life. Alexander took the talent orb and gently placed the little one’s hand on it.

The orb glowed up violently, as thunder boomed in the distance. The world’s mana started to react when Ronan placed his hand on the orb as a lot of mana started to influx into the crystal orb.

One star lit up, then two, then three, quickly four, five, and sixth star lit up as well. However, the influx of mana did not slow down as well, everyone looked with widened eyes, the little kid was going too fast.

The seventh star Lit up, Then an eight one, when eight and a half stars lit up, Alexander forcefully removed the orb from under Ronan’s hand. The orb stopped glowing at eight and a half stars as a result.

When the Eight and a Half star glowing orb was shown to the priest Roygar he was left speechless for a minute. Augustus on the other hand started to laugh maniacal laughter,” My grandson, that’s my grandson, hahaha ” he kept muttering.

This was a once in a millennium seen talent, it far out shadowed Alexander’s six stars, This was an Emperor level talent, one born to rule the world.

Roygar hated the family of Augustus who did not give face to the temple, he desperately wanted to see them fall from their power, but Alexander was simply too powerful for him to handle. He was having heartache when his first son turned out to be even more talented, however, his second son went beyond all logic. If he was allowed to grow, there would be no bringing the family down.

He gritted his teeth, however being a composed man he did not let his hatred show, instead, he said ” congratulations my king. You are blessed with two talented sons “.

Sierra had a big smile plastered on her face, she was proud of her little one. She put him in her embrace again, to show him that her mother loved him a lot.

While the others genuinely believed that the kid was a eight and a half star talent, only Alexander knew that wasn’t the case, he had actually swiftly yet prematurely removed the orb if it was allowed to continue, Alexander gulped at the very idea…. A perfect natural talent… the one that was rumoured to be had by the gods.

In the entire history of Everlon, there were only three nine-star talents ever. All worshipped as gods in today’s time. While seven eight and a half star talents were born in the last 2000 years. All turned out to be emperors of large continents.

If this son of theirs was groomed properly, what would his future be? Trembling, he then put the elemental orb under Ronan’s hand as he prayed for anything except the forbidden element to appear.

Thunderstorm became several times more violent in the background as the orb started to change colour.
