A/N: I kinda lied when I talked about this story. I didn't post it as soon as I did. This is very similar in idea and format to Tales From Mist Mountain, but it focuses on Dynamis and his parents on Mist Mountain. It's a cute little idea I want to work on, and like Tales From Mist Mountain, I will accept prompts for this series. This chapter is meant to be short, sweet, and introductory.

NOTES: Asteri (Dynamis' father's name) is Greek for 'Star'. Sofia (Dynamis' mother's name) is Greek for Wisdom.

Life was really a marvelous thing.

Even though it had been a few hours after his birth, Sofia and Asteri were still marveling over their newborn son. With his small crown of lavender hair and big, blue eyes, he was quite a sight to behold. He dozed comfortably in his arms, squirming to get comfortable every so often.

"He has your eyes, Asteri." Sofia whispered, watching the newborn turn over in her arms and opened his eyes briefly to look at his father. The babe curiously extended his arm, and his father met him halfway. A proud smile spread across Asteri's face as he felt his son grasp his index finger firmly.

"He will be a strong guardian." Asteri commented, "Sofia, I do believe you have not decided a name for him." The temple guaridaness looked down at her newborn child, as if she was mulling over her options in her mind.

"Dynamis." She smiled, "For he will be powerful."
