An anchorwoman jabbers on your screen, talking about the economy of Spartaa.

The camera angle changes and they go in for a close up. A picture of Athan’s flag appears next to a picture of a blonde man in the right corner of your screen. With the words “The Loss and Life in Athan”. Then as the woman beings to speak about the subject, it cuts to images of a funeral, and then a wedding.

“In the Grand Empire of Athan they grieve for the loss of Empress Lilith, who passed away three weeks ago after a car accident, she was twenty years of age and died on impact when she drove off a cliff. She was survived by her husband, Emperor Kratos Andrew Mirume, age twenty-one. They had no children, for it was reported earlier this year that she was unable to have any.

“There is speculation on her death though. A number of the Empress’ staff has said that the Emperor had her killed because she couldn’t bare any children. There has been no evidence of foul play. The Emperor grieved the proper week, for Athans that is, before moving on and finding a new wife.

“And indeed, Emperor Kratos, or Emperor Andrew as he is often called, married Princess Cally Willamina Rastaban of the Queendom of Rastaban, age 16. She is the daughter of the late Queen Julie the Third and Prince Al’ver Yfelle, the queen’s third husband. Yfelle was responsible for the small civil war that raged Rastaban for over two years, and recently ended in his capture.

“Queen Cora, Princess Cally’s older sister, has yet to comment on her sister’s marriage. Princess Cally was crowned Empress today, and the couple have announce that they will have a child, not he conventional way though. They plan to use the Design-A-Person™, from Solid Water’s genetic engineering center. It will be male heir for Athan’s throne. Emperor Kratos and Empress Cally are very excited about this new venture. They said in a recent interview that they plan on to have more children, once Empress Cally reaches the age of eighteen, and that if they have a girl they plan to name her Lilith after the late empress.”

The Next Day

Cally held her one year old son. He was perfect. His blonde hair was messy, but he was sleeping like an angel in her arms.

"Is he not wonderful, Kratos?" Cally said, asking her husband.

Of course he was. He had been genetically engineered by Soild Water for them. He was to be the perfect ruler when he came of age.

"He is, my wife," Kratos said. The emperpor looked at his little son.

Thank goodness I didn't have a child with that low class bred Lilith, he thought. And true, Cally did not bring their son into the world, but her DNA was used to help create him.

"What shall we name him, my Empress?" he asked, smoothing the child's hair down.

"Sei Kratos Al'ver Mirume," she said smiling down at her child. As far as Cally was concern, she had given birth to him. "And tonight we will show you off at your first birthday party."

Kratos smiled at Cally. "Yes, that is a lovely name, Cally. It shall suit him well."

(OOC: For those that wish to attend the party, please, arrive in the Grand Ball Room of the Athan Palace, and give all presents to one of the butlers. Children are welcome till 5pm, then will be sent to the nursery, where they will be watched by the best of nannies until their parents are ready to depart.)
