Cross was the eldest son of the imperial family. Long ago, his father, Gaster, conquered the entire continent, turning one small country into an entire empire. The emperor was cruel, cold and unfeeling, even to his own sons. Cross always grew up in harsh conditions, he was raised as a warrior, the heir to the throne and an entire empire! The boy was taught to fight, be merciless, to spill the blood of enemies with ease... and yet, Cross did not want to be like that. His soul always strove for peace and tranquility. That day, Cross was walking in the garden near the palace, resting for the first time in a long time.
