Inside of a spacial-like atmosphere, with abstract visuals that were just beautiful to see, a king and his family came back to their royal wing that looked like a floating castle. The King's name was Rugal, and he was among the legendary elemental deities that controlled that universe high in the clouds, and his element was fire. Rugal had been a king for quite a long time, being the first actual king amongst other kings and queens that came after him, controlling other elements to bring neutrality and balance among everyone.

"My, Rugal, aren't our sons just precious?"

"Yes, my fair Adeline. They shall be the perfect princes under my wing."

This little talk was held between the King of Flame Rugal, and his wife Adeline, whom was holding a red baby hedgehog in her arms that was sleeping peacefully. Adeline sighed before sitting down on a royal chair, adjusting the baby hedgehog's little yellow bangs.

"Ever think about staying here longer with me to raise your kids with me, Rugal? I'd enjoy that very much."
"Too busy. I'm here right now, aren't I?"

"Well, yes, but I wouldn't really want to raise these boys by myself… Having their father around would be just delightful, Rugal."

"Oh, I'll be here, no worries. You can take great care of them yourself!"

The king gave his wife a quick kiss on her muzzle before hearing some light footsteps come up from behind him.

"D-Dad!" A small, bright yellow hedgehog said in a childish voice.

"Yes, Sun?" The king turned around and saw his first child looking up at him innocently with his red eyes.

"Can I pwease stay with mommy and you?" He asked with his lip trembling a little, seemingly sad over him leaving again.

"But of course!" He patted the young hedgehog's head.

"Although training you will have to take a long time, so unfortunately we'll have to be away from mommy for a little while…"

"O-okay…"

Adeline raised a brow at him as he said that to her son, but tried to ignore it as he paid her mind back onto the baby hedgehog they called Pyre.

"How long is this 'training' of yours going to take, anyways? I would not like to have our two boys not grow up with each other…"

"Well, unfortunately, I already have this all planned out, so I don't think that can happen…"

The little, yellow hedgehog looked at the both of them as they had their banter, and slowly walked over to where his mother was, hugging her leg as he looked back at his father. Adeline looked down at him and pinched his little cheek, a smile finally coming onto her face.

"I just think us all staying together would be the best choice of us as a family. I could always go with you… and our little Pyre could too."

"Woman, as reasonable as that sounds, it just can't be done. You two would just hold us back, realistically."

"Hold you back? But we're supposed to be a family, both of us taking care of children like responsible parents, and working together."
"Yes, working together. Myself and Sun are most definitely going to be working together, so there you go."

"But I meant-"
"Come along, Sun! We're almost too late. Say goodbye to your mother."

He cut her off as he got up and grabbed Sun by his little arm, and left the room with him, leaving Adeline understandably irked at him. She rolled her eyes and heard some noises in her arms, causing her to look down and saw the red hedgehog awake and smiling, his big yellow eyes gazing up at her. She sighed and smiled down at him.

"Ugh. Your father is so hard to deal with at times…"
