It was a cold stormy night when a nun found a baby crying in its crib outside her church. It was covered in thick woolen blacnkets and on top of the blankets was a small note with its ink smudged and on it it read
"Please sweet servants of god have mercy on this poor child's soul, take him in and be known that his mother was a whore and his father the Duke of Arlington. This child's name shall be Paul."
The nun after reading the note quickly brought the baby inside the church and presented the baby along with the note to the head priest.
The head priest having read the note sent the nun away and looked at the child
"So it looks like Duke James Arlington has again dumped his problems onto me huh?" The priest may have not noticed it but the baby understood what the priest was saying.

I was covered in a blinding flash and afterwards I felt water dripping on my face. At first I just thought that the ceiling was dripping I mean after all houses back in the middle ages aren't really drip proof.
I opened my eyes and saw myself looking up at a dark gloomy sky with rain drops falling down and realised that it was raining.
I tried to stand up, move my legs and move my arms around but strangely enough I can't.
I then remembered "God" telling me that I will be born again and trying to not believe what he meant by that I slowly looked down to discover myself wrapped in flea infested blankets and that I was lying in a baby crib. Knowing what that meant I cried out in surprise.
Being used to the deep voice of an adult I got surprised again by my own voice which made my cry out even louder which makes me sound like I'm wailing.
It wasn't long before a lady dressed in what looks like a nun outfit lifted the crib up and read the note on the top of my blanket.
She read the note out in a strange language with an accent.
When the nun was done reading she carried me into a church where I saw a priest dressed in the recognisable black robes and white collar of a priest.
I was almost happy to see that the priest in the new world wear the same attire as the ones back in the old one but on his neck hung a cross with a circle in the middle.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Once the nun and I were inside the church safe from the rain the nun put me down softly on one of the benches and handed the note to the priest.
The priest then dismissed the nun who went to a door located to the left of the raised stage at the front of the church and promptly disappeared behind it with her steps echoing as she climbed up the stairs located behind the door.
While the priest was reading the note I look around the church to find how the churches of this world are like to the ones back in the old one.
The chruch's interior looks startingly similar as the ones back in the old world. It has a stained glass potrait of an old man sporting a long flowing beard which reached down to his chest. The diety has a forgiving, all knowing look on his face and is dressed in red and white robes. In his right hand he held a staff with the same religious symbol the priest is wearing.
As the priest finished reading the note he then began to mutter "So it looks like Duke James Arlington has again dumped his problems onto me huh?"
When he said that I felt something was wrong and then realised that I understood what he was saying.
The priest then looked at me and then muttured under his breath again about how I'm the bastard son of a noble and a renown noble in fact.
Once he was done with his mutterings he then turned to me and picked me up.
"Come my child, I will show you where you will be staying for the most of your childhood." He spoke to me in a soft and soothing voice before carrying me up to the door where the nun was and climbed up the stairs.
Once upstairs I saw kids of various ages but none above 16 sleping in their cots all lined up neatly alongside the wooden walls of the church.
The priest then laid me down on one of the empty cots located at the far side of the room and slowly changed my blankets with dry ones.
Once I felt comfortable in the dry blankets I began to feel my eyes droop and fell asleep.
