Chapter 2:I became a child?!

Chapter 2:I became a child?!

After God knows how many years I was finally born.Phew!Soo...WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?I was with an old woman who was in her eighties or something.Since I am an infant I can only see through mana.If I continue this being a jedi is not a dream!I would only lack a lightsaber!

She is too old,she definitely is not my mother!Why is she taking me!If she is my mother I think my heart would break!What to do,what to do!Lets use the oldest trick in the book!Great weapon we infants have to make our parents do everything!Yes crying!

Seeker:"WAAAAAAAAH!WAAAAAAAAH!WAAAAAAAAAAAH!WAAA-?!"Damn old woman!She is feeding me something.But it is not water.It has a curious taste!Is she poisoning me?Oh shit!She really is poisoning me!What are you doing to an infant damn it!I tried to escape heroically!As heroically as an infant could be.Which is just moving an arm a little.What can I say birth took a lot out of you.

So this is it huh....This is how everything ends?Fuck...I had finally gotten out of that damn place!I had my dreams!I was gonna find someone I love,make friends and stuff I could not do before!I was gonna train in mana!I was gonna be OP was gonna tear apart my foes by thousands!Damn it!

No!Wait!Calm down!I have a mother and a father!They are definitely going to come!Lets believe in them!...So why are they not arriving yet?!What if they were attacked?Maybe this old woman is trying to help me?Ah whatever I am too tired to care now.Damn it all!It is only death!But I don't wanna die...

                                                                                              *****

I open my eyes.What?I can open them?An infant cannot open his eyes!Even when he does he cannot see clearly!But I can see clearly!Anyway lets try to get up!HNNNGHH!I can crawl!But I really am big,like,really big.Like 5-6 year old big!

Did I spent last years sleeping?!NOOOO!Give me back my first years in the world!I was supposed to get the ultimate reward!Yes!MILK!I was supposed to enjoy milk!Damn it!Oh well,no use in crying over spilled milk now!

I am in a room which is quite large.But there is one problem!It's empty!There is so little furniture for room so vast.There is only a bed,a wardrobe,some drawers and a desk.There is everything needed in a bedroom but it is painfully plain!What should I do now.I have no idea whats out there.Should I try to hide?How am I supposed to hide here?There is nowhere to hide in this whole place!

Then lets try to walk!If I can walk then I can run.Even if I can't,I can run away faster.I should be able to.After all I am 5 years old!Might be 6 but who cares!HGNNDURRRASSS!I fell on my butt!No matter!As Samuel said I'll try again!Even if I fail,I'll fail better!HGGNNNDUURRRRASSS!

Finally I can walk.Now I notice that room is actually dark!I can see in the dark!I am not human then?Well it is not like I care if I am not human.I abandoned my humanity long ago after all.I walk now trying to not fall.It is not easy to have the body of an infant and then suddenly growing up five years!I do not know how this happened but no sense in thinking about it now!

If I have a bedroom then this place might be my home?I was panicking so I really did not think about it.Well staying in here will do nothing!

I walk to the door and all of a sudden the door opens!WAIT!MY HEART IS NOT READY!Well,more like my body is not ready to run.I feel weaker than a human child.

Someone just walked in and looked at me.It was as if I saw a statue not a woman.She was tall,slender and did not really possessed much of a curve actually.Everything on her was white,even her hair,eyes and skin.Only her lips was a pale pink.If her lips was white then when she stood still people would believe she was a statue made of alabaster!

Now I feel weird.This whole situation is weird!If I was an infant I would shut up for two years then would begin to talk!I am a five year old boy now but am I supposed to talk?After all I was just an infant!To hell with common sense!

I thought she could be my mother at first.But then I felt she wasn't.She did not have the scent of my mother.Her scent was similar however so she must be a member of my family.Scent of my mother was a bit different.It gave me a sense of security.For the cuteness points I said:"Hello pretty big sister!"and beamed an innocent smile!

Pretty big sister:"KYAAAH!YOU ARE SO CUTE!"Cuteness points get!But why am I feeling this got whole lot more dangerous!Is that drool?

Pretty big sister:"Come here little one!Come here!"My sp*der senses are tingling!This woman is dangerous!I try to escape!But I can only walk...So was captured.Then I was petted all over.She turned to me with a satisfied smile.

Pretty big sister:"I forgot!Elder asked me to take you to him!Though we did not expect you to awaken at all!"I heard that voice!She should be Zara!My mother's sister or sister-in-law!Either way she is my aunt!But what the hell is she talking about?

Old guy:"Little Zara what are you doing!Why are you not bringing him already when I told you to?"So this is the elder.Well...he fits the stereotype!He has a really dignified bearing.He looks benevolent and lofty.

Zara:"Forgive me elder!Since he was so cute I wanted to play with him a bit!"You do not even look sorry...

Elder:"Ooh!I see!So you have awakened!!"He said with excitement"But to only grow that much...As expected an unusual child!"He looked on me with interest.I did not get it at all.I was really confused.After I was born I was expected to grow?Somehow I grew less than expected?I do not get it!But first things fist!Since I was born I must have a name.Lets ask elder!

Seeker:"Elder I was just born!Everyone has names but I do not know mine!Elder please tell me my name!"

Elder:"I see.You need a name indeed little one!So I name you Amargyr!May you be victorious over even gods!You are coming with me.We are leaving."Elder your expectations are high!It's too high!If this guy gets me he will work me to bone!I sense training from hell!I need to ask where my parents are I need to meet them before I go!

Amargyr:"Elder where is my parents?"I ask and make a puzzled face and try to look insecure.

Elder:"Your mother is exhausted!Even now she has no mana!"Hmm,so giving birth was really serious business."Also do not think that your father will play with you!He has many duties!That is why you are coming with me."But one should at least meet his son!I never even saw faces of my parents!How absurd is that!Though I really do not care about that and do not have much affection for my parents.In truth only reason I want to meet them is to spit on their faces!I ABHOR them!Killing would be too good for them!Every time day after day a certain.......white bodily fluid........I CANNOT BEAR TO REMEMBER!DELETE IT!INITIATE THE BRAIN BLEACH!THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN!I TRULY WISH I COULD UNLIVE THOSE MOMENTS!

Elder says:"Now come Amargyr.Since you cannot run I will carry you!" and then carries me like a potato sack!HE is really running fast!Faster than a horse in fact.Now I notice why it is dark.Black clouds cover the skies.This area is a valley between mountains.This area is eye of a massive storm!Storms lashes the earth beyond mountains.So this is where I was born.

                                                                                                             

This descendant of mine!Surely he will become the pillar of Xan clan.He is my only chance.My only chance for redemption in eyes of ancestors!If I can raise this descendant of mine well our Xan clan will profit!He has the power for it!When little Vala told me her dream,I felt like heavens blessed me!A chance at redemption!When they left I went to ancestral hall and thanked the heavens!Only now I can bear to lift my face in front of ancestors,with great guilt and embarrassment but I can bear to face them!

                                                                                       *****

Now I realize all I have ever done was for nothing.Heavens were cruel to me.To think that time would work against me.By now all my enemies perished.Even their family names did not survive.Should I go,search and send their descendants with them?What do I stand to gain by killing them...It would not even cause one whit of heartache to my enemies.

Elder:"Little Zara!Little Zara!"

Zara:"What is it elder?What do you wish of Zara?"

My descendant Zara is not bad.She might even live hundred thousand years.Her brother and sister began to age and she still looks in her twenties.But not as good as this descendant of mine.He has great latent talent.I must leave this house but I will take him with me.To think that little Vala and Garlaim would oppose me!I thought they had finally gone insane.But it seems they have gained some powers,although they are still not worth mentioning for me if I go all out.

I let it go because I had no reason to not to step down as clan leader.This far in life,I no longer want anything but living rest of my life in peace.I will leave these dark lands of my exile.I wish to die in my homeland.

Elder:"Go fetch the little one!Meet me outside afterwards!You know where to meet!We are going to Holy Empire!"

Zara:"Yes,elder!"

Zara got up and disappeared.If I know her she will delay me.That witch likes this!I want to go without being noticed!Without being ridiculed!I have still some work to do here or I would go.What did I do so wrong to twist her character like that when I was raising her?

I must be careful.Tonight I leave this house and go for the lands of humans!This house of nightmares.This house filled with memories of helplessness.Tonight I am stepping down as a clan leader.After that I might become a humble hermit upon a mountain like my teacher.

Now that would not be bad.I already have one foot in my grave.I have a mere two centuries to live give or take some decades.At the journey's end along with bitterness there is some peace.When I asked my teacher why he did not take revenge for wrongs that had been done to him.He had told me killing only brought more conflict,peace was to let go...I now understand how profound his wisdom was.

Ah the memories!Who would guess that 10th son of the emperor from his concubine who was forced out of palace would become emperor?Who always hid his strength fearing his older siblings and father?After emperor died they fought each other and died,I who was the most unlikely candidate ascended to throne.I had power,but I had no political expertise.

Our Xan empire had great treasures and ruled over half the continent so when I surrounded myself with treacherous subjects and put loyal subjects to death treacherous subjects betrayed me and split my lands among themselves.They killed my Xan clan,my wives and my children.I truly deserved this for my stupidity!

But who knew the dragon who rose to heaven was little Vala instead!Although her son is impressive,he has so pure dragon blood that time it took for him to be born was ridiculous!I should have expected that he had an even more ridiculous baptism period!

After his birth little Vala's life was in danger.I was the one who healed her.But it took quite bit of life force from me.In essence I gave my life to her so she could live.Little Garlaim and Vala has founded Xan dynasty again!They united and now are ruling over tribes of various demihumans!Now ungrateful litters are kicking me out!HAHAHAHAH!To think I would mumble like an old man I am!Now everything is done.

I left my ceremonial sword in hall of ancestors,the seal of our clan clan leaders carry and royal seal of former Xan dynasty.I really hesitated about leaving these old things I carried on my person through my life,being old made one sentimental.At least I can face ancestors in death.Lets see what little Zara is doing now.

                                                                                        *****

As expected she was playing around!I am surprised he is awake now after all those years.It seems he has no idea how long he has been sleeping!He is not aware of anything at all.Youngest of our clan can call him little ancestor!

I will take him with me.He reminds me of myself.Although I was not so ridiculous.If he stays here he will be subject to dirty politics and palace schemes.Even if he does not want to they will get him involved.Little Vala and Garlaim had four children besides him.If he stays here his death is certain!Either his parents will feel insecure or his siblings will,since he is technically first born son of Emperor.

That would have made him crown prince.Current crown prince will definitely have his head.Either way he will end up dead!But I don't have time.Little Zara and I are leaving for the same reason.Since I held the throne once I understand them.Throne is like a holding a brilliant jewel.You can only see everyone around you as thieves.Even if you are parent and child or siblings it does not matter.Amargyr asks about his parents,he is puzzled and insecure.I lie to him and then grab him and run while carrying him.

MC ended up as a first born of emperor and a child who has lived countless years!If he was a girl he would have loli-baba status!

Poor elder!Ungrateful descendants are kicking him out!
