[Attilan : 1990]

07:30 A.M.

Fifteen years had passed since what was called the cataclysm, as they called the strange phenomenon that toppled the royal palace, no one who did not have a certain influence and political power knew what this incident was about , even fewer individuals knew the cause of this occurrence.

In the center of the city there was now a new and bigger palace, showing all the imminence of the royal family, but what is important is below this luxurious castle, because in the deepest area there is a large compartment where several technological rooms are hidden from prying eyes, several scientists whose powers were related to their profession worked in what appeared to be a glass-enclosed room.

Agon was with them and they all seemed to be watching something , but that something was actually the cause of the ancient palace to have fallen to the ground , the eldest son of the King of the Inhumans , he was named Blackagar Boltagon , and he since his birth has lived inside it room that serves as a buffer for his powers, there since he learned to read and speak he has been training in the control of his powers.

For fifteen years he went through the most brutal and cruel training his father could imagine, from putting his five-year-old son into a machine where his mind was invaded with terrible nightmares, in order for him to learn to control his mind and avoid letting go of a single one sound, machines that simulate pain that would make normal humans just by shock, all this with the goal of your son getting resistance.

All this was for him to learn to "control" his voice, which possessed such a devastating power that no equipment could contain, this room was the only one that could prevent the young prince's voice from destroying the entire Inhuman empire, but there was something that Agon in all his arrogance he didn't realize, his son who he thought was under his control due to all the indoctrination was actually very aware that his treatment was no less than inhumane.

This had a reason , because at his birth Blackagar had gained a set of what looked like memories , it gave him a maturity beyond what any baby could have , it also allowed him to escape death , the strange thing was that while he was creating his field of force, before his father appears he remembers seeing the image of a woman, very beautiful with pale skin and dark hair and clothes, he remembers her reassuring smile and a curious look.

POV : Blackagar

I think I've lost count of the last time I saw the light of the Sun, all I have are images they transmit, these scientists of my father don't care if I'm interested in their video lessons, everyone always seems scared , always telling me not to use my voice, which was dangerous, even if they say that they themselves are always using their own voice.

Bunch of hypocrites , that 's what they are , and worst of all is my dad , he 's there , looking at me like I 'm some experiment , my mom was no better considering she never got down here , I look in your eyes, too many thoughts running through my head, if I just use up my voice and everything they say it could bring to pass.

But...I couldn't, it was simply impossible to know how many people were above these facilities, there were innocents up there, they had nothing to do with my situation, so it wasn't my right to risk taking their lives just to free me. But I am a libertarian, for better or worse, this antenna they put on my forehead would be an important tool for that.

[Two weeks later]

A few days passed , the tests continue as usual , test my strength , speed and reflexes , I was already able to lift more weight than the strongest Inhuman who possessed a power of strength , he was able to lift ten tons , I was able to to lift ten times more than that.

After the physical tests come the written tests, all to test my knowledge either in general questions or even questions about ruling, which means that after all I was the heir. After all that came my basic needs like food and hygiene.

After my bath I would have two hours to rest , I would use this time when the surveillance on me was less to practice some tricks , the scientists thought they knew everything about my powers , but I knew better , it was not a sound that came out of my voice It was as if the electron simply snapped when my voice was released, causing a chain reaction of destruction, but beyond that I could generate and manipulate energy, telepathy to some degree and a little manipulation of matter.

Now I was throwing a red rubber ball that I created from a potato that had come with my lunch, no one should suspect, besides it was very boring down here, stuck with my thoughts, it would be better if they at least let someone come until here.

(Back!!)

I heard a falling noise and immediately I turned around, looking closely I saw that surprisingly it was a ten year old boy, he wore monochromatic clothes with white and black colors, he seemed to have fallen from one of the ventilation tubes, but seriously impossible as they are locked with a mechanical system.

"Damn!!, that hurt, I should have calculated the distance better, I could have fallen right in the middle of these fake scientists, well it doesn't matter."

I caught his attention by tapping lightly on the glass, it worked because immediately he looked at me, his eyes almost popped out of his skull and he jumped back, he looked at me with admiration and interest, it was quite different from the fear I was used to.

"So it was true, all this time under the castle there was someone, I wondered why my mother always fought with my father because of that" He said approaching my glass, I was surprised, because the way he spoke it seemed like my situation was more or less known.

He put his right hand on the glass and said with some emotion "Hello, my name is Maximus and...I think I'm your little brother" This time it was my turn to be shocked, it was going to be a long day.
