OUTSIDE THE FOREST

Silver Fullbuster looked around and eyed the forest. "He could be in there!" Silver shouted. He ran toward the dull forest, to search for his son.

Their family was very poor, so Silver could not afford to lose Gray. Silver could just sell him to foster care, but his problem was that he cared too much. Silver looked around until he found Gray. Laying on the floor. Beaten up. Dried tears. Silver was horrified. This had been happening for months now, but Gray didn't bother to tell why. He picked up Gray and headed for home.

WHEN THEY ARRIVE HOME

Koyoko Fullbuster had almost panicked when she saw her son the way he was. She brought the medical kit and patched him up. Gray slowly stirred around. His little brother was sitting on the floor, waiting for him to wake up so they could play. Gray snapped up and looked around. "Dad? Mom? Bro?" He asked. "I have a name ya know! My name is Caleb!" his little brother said. Gray ignored him, and recognized their house. It was somewhat of a cottage type thing. There were two bedrooms, and a kitchen that is the size of a baby's room. That was it. Gray sighed and asked: "Dad, how did you find me?" Silver looked at Gray puzzled. "Ohh! Hehe, I just did!" Gray wasn't satisfied, but he went to his room and closed the door, much to Caleb's disappointment. Gray set his back against the door and slid down. He buried his face in his knees and cried. He kept on crying. And crying. Crying. He couldn't stop. He kept going. He knew he was a baby, and this side of him was only unleashed when he was alone. Gray wiped away his tears. He stood at his feet and sat on the teeny bed. All the abuse at Magic School. He couldn't take it. Sooner or later he would have to tell someone or they will figure out themselves.

CASTLE

King Zantle could not waver on his decision. He would have to step down as King and find a new bloodline.

All the Royal Staff tried to change his mind, but he did not waver. "I need a bloodline! Stop being so stupid and find me one!" The King shouted. With that, the strongest Royal Army soldier stood. "If I may, I will go alone, sir." The King nodded. He left his seat with a new goal. A new Bloodline.

GRAY'S HOME

" Now I, I wanna know. Goodbye, I am left alone..." Gray was singing along to one of his favorite songs, just to calm down. He walked out of his room to find a strange man talking to his parents. Gray being a smart boy, noticed the crest he has on his clothes. The Royal Staff. This guy was royalty. Caleb was sitting on the floor, shaking. Gray grabbed Caleb's wrist and pulled him into their room.

Silver noticed movement in the rooms, but knew it was just his beloved sons. "...and granted. Hey, are you even listening to me?!" The Guard said. Silver nodded his head. "I heard you have two sons. One of them has the Demon Spirit Aivo, am I right?" The Guard asked. Silver tensed. That stuff was forbidden from talking about in this house. "If I may, under King's orders, take a blood sample of all of your family?" Koyoko was about to refuse, but Silver stopped her. "Go ahead." Silver said, and added: "First, though, let us talk."

Koyoko and Silver went to their bedroom, and debated. "Why would you let them touch us and our children?!" Koyoko said. Silver sighed. "Think of it. These are King Zantle's orders. If we refuse then we could be killed or worse." Silver paused, then continued. "Or have our children taken away." Koyoko broke out in tears. Silver caught her in his embrace and hugged her 'till she stopped crying. They exited the room in pure silence. "Start." Silver said.

The Guard inserted the needle in both of them one by one. "Now I need your children." The Guard said. Koyoko exchanged nervous glances with Silver and she walked into the kids bedroom and coaxed them to come out. Just like a snap, they listened to their mom and came out.

The whole process hurt the two kids, leaving Caleb thinking his arms were paralyzed, and Gray thought he tried to cut of his arms. The Guard mumbled excitedly to himself: "This is the Bloodline we need!" Silver looked at him carefully, but turned away to coax his children.

The Guard grinned evily. As he exited the house, he said: "This is Aivo's vessel? What a joke! I'm going to have him all to myself one day!
