Prologue:

Gentle shades of light shon down from the sky of Derris Karlan in the early hours of the morning as soft crys blended with the morning surroundings.

The beautiful Godess Martel was now a Mother to her new baby boy. She gently took him into her arms as she cried tears of joy. Looking down at her son gave her a glow of hope and happienes that she would never forget.

A hand landed on her shoulder, it was Yuan, her first and only love and now he, too, was a proud new parent. Both of them smiled at one another with shinning eyes, both knowing that for the time being they would be happy but it was what was ahead that scared them the most.

"Now, we need to think of a name for this little one," Martel smiled, gazed down at her new son.

"How about Teal..?" Yuan asked, one hand unconsiously reaching up to scratch his head.

"Hmm.. Teal, Teal it is then," she confided with a slight nod.

Yuan laid a kiss on his love's forhead, his fingers gliding down Martel's elegant face. They rested under her chin as he lay a smooth kiss upon her lips.

The door opend slowly, catching both lovers off guard. A familiar face popped thier head around the corner, his hand brushed back his long arbon hair so he could have a good luck at his Godson.

"Ahem." The man walked up to the small group in the center of the room.

"Oh hello Kratos... this is Teal," Martel told him simply.

"He's beautiful." This was all Kratos the Sephiram could say, included with a plesant smirk as he watched the baby grab a hold of the Godesses hair, as he was trying to place it in his mouth. This reminded Kratos of when his beloved Anna gave birth to thier son, remembering the joy that raced inside him. He remembered playing with his little boy and helping him take his first steps, as well.

"Kratos... Kratos"

Yuan tapped Kratos on the shoulder to snap him out of his gaze. He shook his head and nodded.

"Kratos, has there been any word from our rivals? About when they will attack?" He asked, once he had the man's attention.

"No.. Luckily we have not heard from them for weeks, hopefully they shall call off this useless war and just get on with there pitiful lives," a gentle voice responded.

"Now Kratos, you know that will never happen. That's why I've been relesed from the seed of the Great Karlan tree. It will come one day, but I hope it will not come anytime soon, for I am happy."

Yuan relaxed Martel as he sat next to her on thier bed. He took his son's hand. The picture of Yuan pulling his tounge with his eyes wide open was enough to make Martel laugh, thier friend on the other hand hung his head in shame, shaking his head.

"Martel, there is no need to worry about what will happen in the future, Lets just enjoy our selves and have fun with our little one."

The Godess closed her eyes and smiled as all three of them watched over the new baby boy.

Right now everything was happy...but soon hatetred would be spreed upon Derris Karlan.
