I ask that you please do not read any more

and move on with your travels.

Safe travels fellow traveler, we part in peace.

May your journey find what you are searching for

Mother Chaos did not utter a word when given the Child of Fate.

She looked at him with Love and found the moment overwhelming.

The Queen of Humility saw that the First Name given

Weak born was his True Name given

And 12 names of Blue Lions that had Strength

And 12 anems of Grey Wolves that had Humility

She cared for the Child of Fate without saying a Word.

She thought of a Name that would unlock Weakness

Her son had no strenth

She could bless him with a name to give strength

But that was too direct

As the years went by she kept thinking

What name should I bless him

And then she laughed on the sixth year

He waited patiently for her Name to give

She gave him her name

"to Be"

And the boy smiled with grattitude

She would not give him a name of Strength

but only the name to find his own Destiny

And She decided to teach him everythign she knew

And so the Child of Fate was named by his Mother

And the Lesson began

"To be is your name," she finallyl blessed him on his Sixth year.

And the weakness stayed to be strengthened with curiosity.

The first thing she taught him was, "Always try your best."

"No retreat or surrender."

"Find the will to overcome all challenges."

The boy nodded in understanding.

He asked, "What should I be?"

She simply said, "Be the best you can be."

"Push the limit of the best within."

And so the Queen Red Wolf journeyed to the Land of the Lions.

The King was started to see her there.

He felt her strength and dared not deny her.

He asked, "What may I do for you Queen?"

The Queen said simply,

"I want my son to test his worth against your son."

The king looked at the boy with curiosity.

He did not look strong.

The Strongerst Blue Angel saw the boy and smiled.

She blessed him with her Name, "Strength."

The king asked, "How frequently would you like them to Test?"

"Everyday."

The king paused.

"My son cannot dance the spears everyday."

The Queen nodded, "I understand. Would you allow a rotation of all 24 followers to teach him?"

The King did not see a problem with that, "My son can fight on the 25th day."

the Queen did not smile, "I would like it every 12th day. I would like my son to be be tested against Grey and Blue each day."

The King was shocked. The boy did not look strong enough for that kind of training.

He replied with as much as he felt conmfortable with challenging this Queen with his ask.

"If your son quits or my Angels say he is wasting their time, I have the right to cancel this ask."

Withtou any insult felt, she extended her hand and shook his hand on the bargain struck.

"My son will not quit, and this training will go until the final test at Eighteen."

The King shook her hand with a Word now bound with the agreement.

He felt her strength in her hands and felt in reverenace to the weakest Queen.

He shook his head uncertain.

"The Training starts tommorwo and I ask to live within your Tribe from time to time."

The king nodded, and he asked with curiosity.

"Where will you go?"

"I must go to the other Tribes. Order has favored yoru Tribe without any concern to the other Tribes.

The King was shocked at how easily he named the Creator.

He simply nodded and felt at ease once she left.

When they were given shelter, with Gray Angels embracing their Queen with adoration, the Messenger Angel embraced the Child of Fate.

She named him first with her Name. "Speed"

the Queen then sat the boy down and gave him instructions.

"Do yoru best and do not try to win."

"How does one do that?"

"Learn all you can. Follow their ways until you understand the dance."

"Each Angel will teach you something new to master, they will be patient with you."

When you fight Romulus, learn only how he fights without trying to fight back."

"So I lose on purpose?"

"No, you learn the pride he has, so you can master how one fights with Strength and Pride. If you win the education ends. Learn everythign you can and enjoy the dance."

"Bug I will be beatne."

"Taht is what you are learning, improve with each new defeat. Thje point is not to win, but learn."

the Child of Fate nodded.

"What am I looking for?"

The Mother Chaos smiled. "Luck in losing is what you arel ookking for."

the boy laughted and was happy at this game of learning.

The First name givven by the Angel Gray was, "good Speed."

The Second name given by the Angel blue was, "Good Power."

And so the boy unlocked his skill with each lesson. On the 13th day he learned Lick in defeat.

The child of Fate, Weakborn, remained weak to the firstborn, losing with a smile on his face.

He danced with a shield only to ensure he would never win.

the Firstborn was puzzled but fought him as was requested by his Father.

The boy never quit and on the eighteenth year

the Fristborn of Humilty came with a staff in his right, and a shield with his left.
