The grand hall of house caelthorn gleamed with opulence . Made of polished marble across the world , it was adorned with orrnate paintings ,massive mirrors , and bases breming with vibrant, fresh flowers .
Tall pillers stood like guardian , enhanceing both it's structure and elegance of the space .
A 15-feet tall metal gate marked the entrance ,
Marked with array of weapons - Gleaming spears , swords , bows and more .
A red silk carpet ran from the gate to wide staircase leading up to the throne that radiated menace . It's armrest shaped like a roaring lion , but what game it's true weight was shining symbol of house caelthorn above it -a luminous hexagonal hovering over a blue crystal casting a surreal light across the throne.

In front of the gate at the very last stood childrens in simpler clothes - sons and daughters of soldiers and workers . Though new , their clothes bore no gems and embellishments .
The knights rose , sheated their swords and stood with their both hands on the hilt of sword . Together they spoke in unison , their voices merging and thundering through the hall .

Upon hearing announcement from zarionth , a wave of astonished chatter swept the entire hall .
" To think a 12 year - kid being a 4 - star magic swordmans , caelthorn's sure are blessed with monster's ". Whispered a man among the groundfloor guests .
" Nowhere else in the world can you find a 4 - star magic swordman of age 12 , it takes 18 to 20 years for most to achieve that ". Whispered another man in among the guests .
An elderly seated man with full white beard on his face on the upper floor rose slowly from his seat . Dressed in long black overcoat over a tunic as he stood entire hall went silent once again .
" Hahaha ! , Congratulations , lord zarionth " The old man bellowed his voice resonating across the marbel hall .

With one knee lowered and their right first placed on the mat above the marble ground , there left hand pressed against their chest , they spoke in unison .
"We , the Descendants of vailorith offer their respect to the lord ".
