Chapter 1 Memory Awakening

My memories are back, I was here in my bedroom just waking up and all my memories are back, I feel really dizzy, I look to my right and I see a big room and I see some weird stuff, like a brazier that has no fire, I see big windows and a blue sky behind those windows, the light is barely dawn. I sit down and look towards my left to see the rest of the room, and well I see more strange things, some stuff I think are lamps but they do not look like the lamps of my old world, I see at least 3 doors, 2 of them in front of me and 1 towards the left, the bed looks huge, so I try to get up and get out of the bed, and now I see the bed is not exactly huge just big, the type of bed a married couple would have, but sadly I’m not that big I see a mirror in between the 2 doors, and I get myself of the bed, when I get closer to the mirror I see myself for the first time.

Wow it was true - I think - I have been reincarnated.

What I see in the mirror is a young boy with hair electric blue and green eyes, pale skin and around a meter tall, I am dressed in a gown and no underwear, at this point, a knock sounds from the door to my left, I turn around and see the door open and a woman enters the room.

- Oh young lord, you are awake, I was coming to wake you up – she says while smiling.

She looks fine, with brown hair and a nice smile, and then it clicks she is dina my caretaker/maid and some few memories come to me these not from my previous life but from this life, my parents, some siblings, the house, the servants, and that’s about it, not much more and I imagine that is correct there is not much I could have learned while being a baby.

- Young lord, are you okay? – she ask while she comes closer and put her hand on my forehead.

- Yes I’m Okay – I answer.

- Well it looks like you are okay, you looked a bit indisposed there for a second, let me get you some clothes so you can go have breakfast, if you want you could go and refresh yourself – she turn me around and points me towards the door closest to the window.

When I enter I see a very medieval bathroom but also a very strange one, I go and do my business on a chamber pot, it makes me really uncomfortable, then I go towards a pail on a tripod that has another tripod besides it with a bucket of water and I see the water is clean, I imagine this is for me to wash my face, I do that, and then I go out, in my memories tells me another servant will come and clean the bathroom once I’m on my way to breakfast, it makes me feel really uncomfortable again, since in my previous life I never had any servants and much less for this kind of business.

As soon as I enter the room Dina already has my clothes out, I see a type of shorts I imagine is what goes here as underwear, some pants, a shirt, socks all made from heavy wool, and a pair of leather shoes, I get closer to the window to see outside, and I see snow, it should be winter, in the meanwhile Dina takes my nightgown off, I feel conscious that I’m naked, and Dina looks at me puzzled, since I’m not behaving like before, she put her hand on my head and said

- Nothing to be ashamed off, and let’s put your clothes on, you don’t want to get sick.

She starts dressing me and I let her, especially because I do not know how else to react, everything is too sudden.

After I’m dressed we go out of the room, I see another servant, but I do not know his name, that enters my room, while I walk towards somewhere, my memory tells me I’m going towards the family dining room, where only the family eats, after 5 minutes walking and 2 different sets of stairs finally we arrive at the dining room and as soon as we enter I see lots of people sitting down. I see my mom with her own electric blue hair and a beautiful face, I see another woman who I know as my second mom, and another I know is my third mom, at that point my mind sort of gets to me, polygamy is accepted in this world, then I looks towards the man that is at the edge of the table and I see my father, he looks really big and he is laughing while 2 of my sisters are sitting on his lap one of them talking and the other just playing with his beard, I see more people around the table so far we are 8 children with 2 more coming specially since my mom and third mom are both pregnant, third mom looks really big so she should be close to giving birth, while my mom looks a lot less big, so it should still be a while.

- Carter, good morning, how are you? How did you sleep?

- Fine mom I slept fine - I go towards her, and I give her a hug, she is really pretty.

I sit down besides my older brother Nestor who is older than me by a year, and then my memory gives me another flash, I have 5 older brothers, and 3 older sisters with another younger sister and the 2 that are coming from the pregnancy so there are 10 kids with another 2 incoming, really big family.

-Ok Emily, Diana , get to your seats let eat some breakfast your younger brother is here – the deep resounding voice of our father says for all of us in the dining room to hear.

- Good morning father, good morning mom and mom – I say while looking at my dad and my 2 other mothers.

He smiles and says – Lets eat.

I start eating and the food is nice but nowhere near what I remember from the memories of my previous life, is good food, not great, as we are finishing our father starts talking to each of the kids, first my older brother who is eleven, his name is Gunnar he also has blue hair same as me, but he has blue eyes same as our dad, and he talks about training specifically sword training. I get nervous since I was fairly pacific in my previous life, and on this one it appears we will have some sort of medieval war, then I remember there is also magic.

Our dad finish with Gunnar and start talking with Albert and Desmond who are the same age, but each has different hair one has brown with yellow strips, looking a bit like second mom, and the other has yellow hair just like our dad, our third mom also has yellow hair but hers is more mustard, while dad, is more of a sun yellow color. He ask some question and then comment that they will be learning.

Then he moves towards Caroline, my older sister and the first of all the girls, 5 years older than me and practically a clone of our mom, dad starts talking to her about her putting attention on her magical lessons. After he moves to Adrian who looks bored, and he talks about more classes.

Then comes Emily, Diana and Nestor, he talks to the 3 of them telling them they will be having etiquette and basic lessons then he turns towards me.

-Carter you learn from your mom about the Miracle of the gods, once your ready you will undergo your awakening – my father finish and smiles at me.

After that he goes and grabs Karina my younger sister and cuddles her for a bit, at that point we all know that our morning routine is done.

I go and wait for my mom close to the door and I see how each of my brothers and sisters goes out each with their own maid towards their respective tasks.

- Come on Carter, let’s start your lessons- [my mom]

- A long time ago our world was only ours and we could do whatever we wanted on our world, there were good things and bad things about that era but this was ours, not only for humans but also for elves and dwarves and pixies and all other races that were naturals of this world – I listen to her, while getting excited at all the fantastic races that exist on this world – not everything was peaceful we sometimes had wars between races sometimes wars between kingdoms of the same races but one day for some reasons that we do not know an invasion started, this were the Demon races, they are not part of this world and they have to corrupt our world to be able to live on it, this ended up getting us on the biggest war, a war for our survival we ended up asking for help from the gods, but the gods were also at war with their gods, and the only thing they could do was gives us the power to fight and that is the awakening.

I sat there while I was thinking, and my mom looks at me in a very strange way, and I look at her and ask.

- What?

- Are you not upset? – My mom asks while looking worried at me – when I talked to your brothers and sisters some cried others got mad, but you are calm

Oh heck, I am not reacting because of my memories of my previous life, I’m not behaving like a child at all, fast what do I say? Oh right.

- I cannot believe it and what is a war?

At that point my mom still looking worried says

-Come here – She grabs me and puts me on her lap, and checks my temperature with her hand – You have a fever.

At that point I see her murmuring something I don’t catch and I see a whitish ball going from her hand towards my head and it feels like someone wrapped a cool towel around my head, the headache that was forming slowly starts going away and I feel sleepy.

At one point I fell asleep and my mom just hug me while I rested, when I woke up my mom looks at me.

- If you are not feeling well you don’t have to force yourself you know?, Your dad won’t mind if you take a bit longer.

- I’m sorry mom I just don’t know what is happening.

- Then we will continue our lessons tomorrow go rest, DINA – she raises her voice and my personal maid enters through the door- take carter to rest.

At this point Dina takes me and brings me towards my room, I see several toys and I start thinking and trying to organize the info on my mind while I play with some blocks, I will have to learn a lot about this world and about everything that exist on it, I grow excited when I think about magic, and I remember what my mom did even though I could not hear what she said when she started using the magic, I slowly start going through my memories of my past life trying to see what I can remember and it’s a lot of things, stuff that I read in passing on the internet, what I learned when I was kid, my mom and dad from my previous life, that’s a bittersweet memory my mother was too selfish and took every advantage she could, my dad on the other hand chivalry made man would be his definition, he was proud of the family history and he always did his best for his own personal honor and his family honor, sadly my mother took advantage of him every step of the way, but I still remember his words.

- Son doesn’t matter what others think of me, I’m taking care of myself and my responsibilities, and this is enough for me, I’m happy.

I did have a hard time understanding him and I never could find a partner in my previous life, but I loved my dad and I always did my best to make him proud, and I don’t regret those decisions, now I’m in another world with a new chance of life and I cannot avoid but think about his teachings, now I have a new dad and I see how loving of a father he is, I’m having a hard time reconciling the 2 but I have to let go of the past.

Dina comes and picks me up brings me to dinner and then brings me away to bed, I’m still distracted and don’t hear much about what is happening around me, I finally fall asleep but I still cannot help but think about the past.
