10 years before the appearance of the Valhalla Dragons.
"Waaaaaaa!" a sound of baby crying.
In the room, a sound of a baby can be heard. It is a sound of a new life, for the first time it feels what it means to be alive. An old maid holding the baby, show the baby to a young woman. The young woman, smiling faintly, feels a great joy for seeing her baby. A tall man, wielding a sword that bigger than himself, walks to the inside of the room, towards the baby.
"Congratulations, Young Master. It's a boy." said the old maid.
"Thank you. Here, let me hold him." the man said.
The man holds his newborn son, up high above his head. He smiled. For the first time in his life, he knows a joy that never he thought will experienced. Then he move near the bed, and said to his son.
"Welcome my son, to the beginning of your story."
After that, he started to examine his child, and then said to his wife…
"He looks just like me. But I sense that he has a great magic power, even more than you."
"Of course. Surely you don't think that the son of the greatest Warlock, will have a lesser magic power than his mother, do you?" his wife, smiling when she said that.
"Hahaha, no, it's not like that. Call it as a father scanning system, reliable as always." He grinned mischievously.
His wife laughed softly. The man continued to look after his child, when suddenly he frowned.
"But, this magic power is… I remember this power... Is this?"
The woman losing her smile.
"I'm afraid so. Not only my magic power, but even my father's power, the forbidden power of the Valhalla has been inherited by him…" she said weakly.
"…So it is. Curses, now he will have to bear a great burden that only selected few has carried, even heavier than mine and yours." the man curses.
The woman looks sad for a while. But, then the man said.
"I guess, we're gonna be really busy from now on, eh? You should concentrated to recover sooner then, my love."
"…I guess you're right." she said, smiled faintly.
Suddenly, the man palmed his forehead.
"But rather than worrying about that, I believe this is the time to give him a name. Say, dear. Did you see where my name list is? I was sure that I put it inside the desk drawer in the study."
"Oh that? The one with the list of baby names? I threw it away." the woman said casually.
"I see, then … wait, you what-! ?"
"All of the names inside are ordinaries. Surely you're not planning to name our son with an ordinary name, do you?"
"But I've spent 3 months writing all of that!" the man scream, unconsciously losing the grip of his hand, and the baby dropped from his hand. Fortunately, the woman was quick enough to catch the baby.
"Are you a fool! ? You almost ended our son's story when he didn't even started yet!" she said while giving her baby to the maid.
"But-… Huh! ? I'm a what! ? I didn't do anything! And wait! What about my list! ?"
"Exactly because you didn't do anything that you're guilty as charged! And you actually cared about the list more than your own son! ?"
"What? Wait a minute, where's my boy! ? Oh, he's right over there… Uh, no, you misunderstand! I don't care about that list! Well, but then again, it would be waste if I…. Wait! I-I can explain… and don't start casting your magic here, please!"
The family bickering goes on. When that happens, an old man appear and coming inside the room. He speaks to the old maid.
"Mary, is this my grandchild?"
"Yes, Master." answer the old maid. She gives the baby to the old man. The old man holds the baby, and then called the young woman.
"Eliza."
"Wait, my love! You've just finished giving birth to our son! It would be unwise to move, even less to cast magic!"
"Why don't you just drop deaaaaaaadddd, noooooow! ?" the young woman, named as Eliza said. It's obvious that she didn't even realize the old man presence.
"Please forgive me! It was an accident! Have mercy on meeee! I'm a fragile young man in truth!"
"You didn't convince me at all while carrying that giant sword in your baaaaaaaack!"
"Oh you're right… Huh! ? Wait- lets, caaaaalm dooooown… and think all of this rationally…. 'murmur' guess I'll just have to make a new list… Eh, no no no no no no no! I'm repenting! I'm repeeennntiiiiingggg! So please don't do….. !"
The bickering continues, the old man can only shook his head while sighing.
"Every time I think about it, I never found the answer. Why must she inherit her mother oblivious attitude of all people…?"
He then turns his attention to the baby in his hand.
"Since his parents are currently useless, I guess I should take the chance of giving this child a name, since last time I didn't have a chance of naming my daughter. Hmm… since this boy looks so much like his father, I should give him a matching name."
"Now then, time for you to d- …Dad! ? When did you come here! ?" Eliza asks, while the man was unconscious.
"…But now that I think again, the letter 'F' in his father name must stand for foolishness, after all. So I should just take the 'F' from his name, and give the rest as this child name. " the old man said.
"Eh? Have you already decided on his name, Dad?"
(Not listening) "Yes, that's right. I believe this is for the best. This boy name shall be…"
And so, 20 years has passed ever since the day of his birth.
The boy has grown as a strong Swordsman, with calm-judgment, but a bit hot-headed sometimes. He's currently resting on the field, lying down on the grass, near the capital city of Prontera.
"That dream again… sigh…what a strange dream." he murmurs to himself, sighing.
He then gets up, while watching what in front of him. His white hair flutters by the wind. A sword lies in its sheath at his waist.
"I guess it's time to moving on." he said that, when suddenly, a childish, cheerful girl voice calling for him.
"Eeeeerkaaaaaard! So you've come here too!" said someone behind him, a girl, running towards the boy.
"…so she catched up huh… Damn." he said while cursing.
As he turns back, his eye pupil was shown colored with 2 different colors. An eye of crimson flame, matched with the eye of cerulean crystal.
