Fated Encounter Prequel: A Thousand Years

Rex Tremendæ Maiestatis

A/N: Kairos delivers safely, giving birth to twins, a son and a daughter. Time ticks by and it is not long before her children are now almost grown, just turning seven that June 16th. Ishtar can't see her children's futures, but slowly her plan is starting to bare fruit. I hope you enjoy the song for Lumine and Aether. PS, I adore this fanart I found of Dainslief with smol twins and by all rights should have happened had their mama not been in danger. <3

Title Translation: King of Majesty Tremendous(lyric from again, the famous song).

Quick Note: At the present date(2022) we do not know the names of Lumine and Aether's swords. As somebody that loves Arthurian Legends and folklore, I see a lot of themes of King Arthur and Mordred in Lumine and Aether. For this reason the weapons presented to them on their birthday shall be known as "Excalibur" and "Caliburn" until the day we get the real names, playing on the version that there are two sacred swords(also fitting cause their dad's named after a sword).

.....................................................

So much time had passed her by in this small little realm she realized was in fact what she remembered her father called Vanagard. Vanguard was just a small branching world near the Realm of Light, Vanahiem, the world of the elemental races. Its lifestyle, customs, traditions, and even clothing mirrored a lot like her beloved Enkanomiya that had been lost to the netherworld. So when she had awoken in the luxurious living quarters with the priests and priestesses all bowing before her along with the caesar it shocked her.

They had called her Divine Empress Saturn, yet another surprise but Ishtar rolled with it. The young man, Chiron, a light elf she realized, questioned if she had conceived the fated children of day and air. To which she had said yes, that Chaos and her had indeed sired children and they would arrive in the summer. The nine long months was brutal torture and through it all she wished Dainslief or even Alice had been with her. But Dainslief was bound to his world, to Irminsul and...it would have been suspicious if he had left his post for years. Alice had been tempted to ask to come with her but she didn't want to force the Alfheim refugee. The worst had been the day of the labor on that June sixteenth, Year of the Lunar Snake. Other than the handmaids nobody had been allowed in the room.

She had been alone in this.

But no complications happened and it went smoothly even after Chiron had removed the binding holding back her temporal abilities. A pair of twins, almost identical, had entered the world. A little boy and a little girl, both with their father's beautiful sun-kissed blonde hair. Tiny little elven ears of a primordial deity and skin soft, and fair. Their eyes a rich honey amber that to her delight and surprise had the Khaenrian star shaped pupils. The son she had not sensed the master gnosis upon holding him for the first time. Ishtar loved him no less for he was the result of just their union. He was a bit more fussy and a timid little infant, so quick to cry. To him she named Either Seiros Aion, a mortal alias she had granted in "Aether." For the safety of her newborn son she sealed his appearance to make him appear more human like his father, altering his pupils too.

Then there was a second born and this was the one that made her heart swell in a primal delight of satisfaction. She didn't even need to hold or touch the wailing infant daughter to sense it. The original god had been at long last reborn and it...actually surprised Ishtar. Phanes had some reason chosen to reincarnate as a female? The time goddess was not sure why the god of Fate would do that. However she was thrilled for here she had two children, her flesh and blood that meant the world to her. Her little infant daughter was a moody stubborn thing, but was such a happy baby. Like a ray of sunshine her smile and laughter drew people to her in delighted adoration. To her daughter she named her Lumen Sirius Aion, giving her the human name of "Lumine" and like her brother hid her true appearance under the harmless seal.
