-I wanted to write a story about Blaze the Cat's childhood from birth. This is my take on it.-
It was a clear beautiful night in the Sol Dimension, everyone was at peace. Up in the castle a miracle was taking place.
The castle's servants were rushing around, hurrying to prepare for the birth of the child of the king and queen. The king was by his wife's side and was holding her hand while the doctor was at the other, seeing that her heart was beating normally and checking to see that everything was in order.
"Flame," said the king in a comforting voice. "The birth of our daughter will be a most great moment for us and all the land. I wish her and you to be healthy."
Flame kissed her husband's check while sweating.
"I love you Aaron. Thank you,"
She flinched from the pain and the doctor and his assistants got ready for the delivery.
The cries of the newborn infant echoed through the castle halls. The nurses cleaned the baby off and carefully handed her to her mother in a royal purple blanket. The kitten squealed and mewed but was calmed to coos once she felt warmth and comfort. Flame and Aaron both smiled warmly at their newborn daughter.
"She looks just like you my dear." Aaron commented.
Flame nodded. "With a hint of her father too."
Aaron hugged his wife and daughter while the bedroom was being cleaned up by the nurses and castle staff.
"What shall her name be?" The king asked.
Flame smiled. "I can tell this little one holds something special within her. What about Blaze?"
The king looked at his wife.
"But why?"
The kitten sneezed, blowing out little flames as she did.
"Oh!" The queen was shocked. "Bless you little one." Flame said worryingly, she looked at her husband. "S-she just-. Did she-?"
Flame held her daughter close. The king stared wide-eyed.
"I can't believe it. Could it be back?" He whispered to himself
"What could be back?" The queen asked.
Aaron dashed away to the library. He jumped on a rolling ladder and got a hold of a book from his private section. He then rushed back to the bedroom and flipped through the yellowed pages of the book he had brought with him. Flame tried to look over what he was looking at from the bed.
"Aaron what is it?!" She queen demanded.
Aaron came across a bookmarked page and put his finger on it while reading to himself.
Flame rocked their kitten while looking at her husband. Aaron looked up with an astonished and worried look on his face.
"It might be…" He whispered. "But it is."
Flame reached for the book he was holding.
"What?"
She took the book from him and examined the pages it was open to.
"Your family has…?"
Aaron rubbed his head.
"I can't keep this a secret anymore…Yes, my lineage has traces of pyrokinesis. It doesn't show up that much but it still can every once in a while. I just didn't think that it would show signs of appearing in our baby girl."
The king frowned.
"I'm sorry." He apologized.
Flame looked at her husband's face and to her daughter's confused face.
"That can't be all bad, can it?" She asked. "She's alive and healthy and that is what matters Aaron."
"Yes, that is all that matters now but what about in the future? Pyrokinesis is very difficult to control at times and master completely." Aaron answered. "I don't think that she will be able to handle it."
"She'll be strong, I just know it." Flame said reassuringly.
The king opened his mouth to say something but closed it and smiled.
"You really don't know."
Flame laughed and kissed her husband.
"So, back on topic. What should we name her?" She asked.
The king thought for a minute and looked at her.
"I like your idea. Blaze is a fitting name."
Flame smiled and looked at the kitten.
"Blaze."
The kitten turned her head to her mother and snuggled up against her, falling asleep to the sound of Flame's heartbeat.
