Astral Chaos : Chapter 1- The Abandoned Child

In a far away place,

Their were many star in sky but something was different as all those things that were looking like stars contained energy that was not comparable to stars that can be seen for any planet in the sky. Even if we add few trillions of stars together it was still nothing in comparison to what was in the sky.

Under this starry sky, there stand a tall building even if compared to giant planets they were like ants in front of the palace. It was night time so the palace was not visible completely but some movement can be seen in the outer area of the mansion where a person in armor walked through the alley and arrived in the the corner of a small and shabby courtyard.

When he arrived at the door he sneaked in the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard there was a person standing with pure white clothes with some golden engraving on it. When the person arrived and saw this person standing in front of him he got on his knees and bowed towards him and said, "Your majesty what could have happened that you summoned me in this place rather than the palace?".

The person sighed and said, "I don't know why this happened, today was supposed to be happy day when i welcomed my 3rd child but it seem destiny wants to play with me, hahahah....", he then came near the other person and instructed him to stand up and then continued, "When he was born a few hours ago i was extremely happy to welcome a new member in my family and it came with an unexpected happy surprise. we all the people of royal family have superior bloodline known as "Shadow God bloodline". when he was born I found that he possess the most purest blood in our whole family, but..... his body cannot take that much load as due to the energy required to from that pure blood in him led him to having a fragile body and he couldn't hold on with it."

The moment these words came out of the person mouth, the solider was dumbstruck he can't think of anything as the royal family was finally given a person with a purest bloodline like that of in legends but than was struck with bad luck at the same time. if his body can't take the pressure the bloodline hold he will definitely die and no-one can save him.

"Majesty just give me instructions what can i do so that the young master can live on.", solider said with showing determination in his eyes as he was even ready for dieing if it can save his young master.

"I didn't call you here for finding anything, it was because..... I need you to take care of a thing for me and throw it as far as possible.", his majesty said with a dull face.

"I will definitely do as you say and throw it away as far as possible.", the solider replied without a second thought.

The King looked at him and said, "you don't even want to know what it is?"

"It is not required and how can i ask your majesty for an answer."

"It's your young master's dead body."

After this sentence came out of his mouth there was silence in the courtyard, and the solider was looking towards the king with a look of disbelief. He can't imagine even if his child died how can a father ask to throw away the corpse.

After sometime he finally was able to speak, "Your Majesty?"

"I know how you feel about me, you might be thinking i am a cruel dad.... Yes you can say that i am indeed cruel when i found out that he can't hold on the pressure of the bloodline we all decided to find a solution to save him with any mean necessary but to no avail. but we indeed found a book which recorded a special method … he cried in the whole process he should have been asking for help from me but i didn't do anything and when the process ended his small body was lying there without any life.", when he said these line his eyes was full of tears but he somehow continued.

"His mother has not even seen him once and my greed to preserve the bloodline didn't even allow it to happen. She was unconscious till now but i don't know what to say when she wake up." he looked towards a corner of the courtyard where a lifeless body was lying on a small bed.

He was surrounded by death itself , "When he was shouting in the process he should have gone through torment of not only removal of bloodline but also invasion of death energy. death energy for someone like me is torment like death, even i don't think i can hold with its invasion but he did it relying only on his will to be alive, will to live and see the world but he couldn't hold on."

The solider can't stop himself from asking, "Your Majesty, even if young master died we should at least give him a proper farewell, but you want him to be thrown far away?"

"Yes, indeed if he died normally we would give him the best farewell but  he .... .I cant tell you this now, you will know about it after you completed your task. I know this child of mine have given enough for the family but he will still have to sacrifice last time after his death. I used a sealing treasure on him but it can only prevent his death for few hours. Take him and give him a resting place in the far sky."

"But Master how can you ask me to do something like this, if i really do something like this i will not be able to forgive myself for this even in a million years. Queen has always seen me as her own child, so how could i not even allow her to see her own son's face even once?" ,the solider was still in disbelief of what he have heard just now, he didn't wanted to believe it and forget it like a bad dream but this dream was a cruel reality that might haunt him for his entire life.

"You don't have to worry about it, i have found a solution for this … sigh … I know it is cruel to take away a child from his mom even before she could see his face but ,I cannot allow anything to led to destruction of the royal family. Like I said, take him and find a place for his rest in the vast starry sky. ", when he finished his sentence he just vanished in the air like he was not even there.

When the king left the solider that was standing fell on his knees and started crying, "How could you ask me to do something this, you want me to bury the child of a women who always treated me like her own son, how can i do it. What destruction? It is clearly your way of running from responsibilities."

After a brief silence he got on his feet and walked towards the child. He than saw a pale face like a corpse but even after all he as been through he still have a small smile on his face when he was this near to death. He knew the child can at most be alive for 2 hours not more than that and he knew if he didn't do it someone else will.

He picked the boy in his arm and kissed his forehead and said, "Forgive me, little brother I cannot do anything to help you ,I will give you a last ride. After all this I might not be able to forgive myself but..."

When he finished to speak he just vanished in thin air like how the king did but suddenly space around the area ruptured and the king walkout he had a pale face and said, "Sometimes you need to sacrifice something to gain some. he might not understand it now but he will definitely understand in the future. I might seem cruel but all this is for the kingdom."

Many dozen trillion light year away, In the empty space where only stars can be seen, a figure appeared in a ancient armor with a small basket in his hand in which a newborn baby was sleeping. The man looked towards the baby and said, "Please forgive your big brother, I can't do anything to keep you safe, SORRY. This is a gift I got from your Mother but ..... now I think I am not worthy of it."

He said these words while putting a small necklace around his neck.

"I hope this necklace will keep you safe wherever you go. SORRY, SORRY for my incapability for saving you." 

When he finished his words he let goof the basket free in the space filled with chaos energy. Setting it free from all the problem he faced as a newborn, and send him to a new journey that might come in form of rebirth. the child 

When he saw the basket drifting away he cannot let go of the guilt and decided to leave the place.

It might seem to all as the end of his journey but we know even a creation take place due to Chaos that represent Destruction it is an eternal cycle, it can also mean new start, chaos can be said to mixture of all energy(element) but can a person absorb it, No it will led to his death, due to mixture of his own power with chaos that might led to a instability. But what about a person that is on his last breath and don't have any form of source of power in his body. It might also give him a new life, a life full of CHAOS.
