    ''Cynthia fell silent as she recounted the conversation between her and her late father. It was related to Apollo''s dad. When it came to this matter


    she was always silent about it. Before he passed


    this was the sole request her father asked of her.''


    ''Almost everyone was unaware of this bit of information


    but Apollo''s father was a true anomaly. At birth


    he was stillborn. In other words


    he was born dead. It was a truly ironic situation. Furthermore


    it was something that almost never happened in the Astarat world. The Natural Essence ensured the offspring of this world were healthy.''


    ''At first


    they thought something was wrong due to the Terror''s having claimed a part of the world. However


    that was tossed out the window. Numerous babies were born alongside Zarel


    and they were perfectly healthy. His case was unique and that scared them. Soon enough


    they gave up and prepared to bury him.''
