Narrator POV
In a seemingly infinite expanse of darkness, a being that looks similar to an enormous male human toddler wearing a blue and yellow baggy zip up hoodie, shorts and large boots. He opens up his eyes, showing his unusual pupils, a diamond on the right eye, and a spade on the left, both having purple sclera.
He has been in this abyss for a long time. As for how long, he does not know, no one does. He has come into contact with multiple beings in this place, but now, he's meeting one that he has never met, a soul, a lost soul to be specific.
Lost souls, souls that have quite literally lost all that was them, memories, behaviors, values, everything. It seems interesting to him, and he puts his hand forward, through a portal that opens in front of the soul, over 200 light-years away, then grabs the soul.
He inspects the soul, noticing its seemingly blank state, and a grotesque smile reveals his teeth that are all sharp, red fangs, and the flesh of his gums looks black, similarly to the abyss around him.
Suddenly, his right pupil folds in on itself, before propagating and turning his eye into a mesmerizing kaleidoscope. In each of the panes of the kaleidoscope that is his eye, a myriad of scenes plays out at extreme speeds, showing the lives of different beings.
And his left eye begins swirling while the pupil cycles through multiple colors, and eventually turns fully into a spiral. If one could see clearly into his eye, they would notice that there were specks that looked like stars in the night sky in some parts of the spiral, and some parts that looked like mountains, some like medieval cities and some like sci-fi cities, some being undersea, some being far up in the air and some calmly being on land, some undergoing disasters and some beeing peaceful.
Eventually the images begin slowing down, until they stop on their respective images. A reddish aura flows from his right eye into the soul in his hand, and it became tinged with that aura, altering its nature permanently.
A circle of energy shoots out of his left eye, turning into a portal with an outline resembling flames manifests in front of him, and he throws the soul into the portal, then the portal folds onto itself and seemingly blinks out of existence.

Location: Forsaken Realm, Clover Kingdom
Deep in the Forsaken Realm, the poorest and least safe part of the Clover Kingdom, a woman carrying a basket moves towards a village. In the basket is a baby boy with a head of white hair, sleeping peacefully.
As she continues walking, she finds comes across something strange, another baby with white hair, but unlike the baby in her basket, this one felt different, it felt almost alien.
Unlike the baby in her basket, this one was simply swaddled in some white cloth with an amulet and a small paper with the baby's name on it. Her fear had made her consider abandoning the child, but her compassion pushed hard past it, and she picked up the child and the items around him.
After some time passes, she enters Hage village, one of if not the farthest village from the center of the Clover Kingdom. She walks further and stops in front of the church in the village, and she placed down the basket, then placed the baby that she found right beside it.
As she drops them, a few tears escape her eyes and fall on the floor. "I'm so sorry, Asta. If only my body wasn't this way, then we could have lived together. But it seems that even with that, fate didn't want you to be alone, since it brought you a brother to be with." She says as she pats the cheeks of the two babies with tears streaming from her eyes.
She then walks away before anyone could know that she was there, and after that day, the two boys would never see her again. Not long after she leaves, someone else comes by and drops a black haired baby boy swaddled in white cloths and a necklace with a blue pendant, right beside the other babies.
"Ciel-sama, Loyce-sama. Please, watch over Yuno-sama." The figure says with their hands clasped together in prayer. Immediately after that, they leave the place quicker than they arrived, hoping that the baby they had left there would grow well.
An hour passes and cries erupt from Asta and Yuno, as hunger begins to disturb them. The third baby remains silent for a while, but he eventually begins crying out as well, as the noise disturbs him from his slumber.
After a few minutes of the babies crying, the front door of the church opens, to show the Father of the church , being accompanied by a Sister. "My goodness, who would abandon these children here?" The Father, Orsi Orfai says as he bends down to inspect the babies for any injuries.
As he checks them, one of the white haired ones grabs his finger. He looks at the baby and sees a metal amulet with a red jewel embedded into it, resting on the baby. He also sees a small paper tucked into its wraps, and takes it. "Dante. So your name is Dante, little one." He says as he picks up the white haired baby.
"This one is Asta, and this one is Yuno." The young Sister says as she checks the names of the other two babies. Seeing that the babies were abandoned here, Orsi took them in, accepting them as family. And so on the night of October 4th, the story of the most powerful people to come from Hage Village began.
