Chapter two
I saw many faces since the day I was born, an odd thingto remember when you were born, few of the faces I managed to remember and recognize, first there was my mother a young lady maybe in her early twenties, she seemed to be beside me most of the time, I think I sleep a lot, I thought about crying like children do but I though it a hassle beside mom was there to breastfeed me every time I woke, and it seems I felt asleep immediately after she fed me, my mom was a beautiful woman, her face was oval and her cheek bones were high, her skin was milky and flawless her hair was fiery red and it ran in thick locks behind her, her eyes were grey and she always smiled at me, I felt joy at her smile she would sing to me sometimes but I didn’t recognize the language, I also met my father and came to recognize him, a handsome young man probably the same age as mom, his hair silvery and smooth as silk, it ran down his back like a river, his eyes were like nothing I saw before deep violet eyes that always stole my mother gaze from me towards them, his face was smooth and clean shaved and he always had that cheeky smile that made me want to punch him, I knew the type from my past life a ladies’ man! Dad you already fallen in my eyes.
As the days passed I came to recognize a third person in my life, I knew she wasn’t a relative she didn’t look like my parents, in fact she didn’t even look human, her eyes were entirely blue with no pupils and her skin was Grey, soon I realized that she is a nanny and was hired to help take care of me, she didn’t look that much older than my parents and unlike my mother she didn’t smile and always gave me that flat look even when she was wiping my bum.
After the first few weeks my mother was taking me with her around the house and I got a glimpse of the outside world through the moments when we passed beside a window, it seem we lived in an open area for I didn’t see any nearby houses, maybe we lived in the outskirts of a village or in the wilderness, I sure as hell couldn’t find out by myself, I was beginning to recognize some of the words said not much but enough to know that most of what dad said implies something I shouldn’t know about for years

I think I lost the sense of time thanks to my sleeping habits and the fact I didn’t leave my room a lot, but it couldn’t be more than five months since I was born I didn’t forget the words given to me by god, he has given me a second life and I intend to live it fully, by now I am able to understand the language my parents spoke to me, I was named Caladin my mother is called liana, my father is Rand and my beloved nanny is Hera, until now I haven’t spoken back to my parents but I was getting really bored and figured I was old enough to speak so when mom spoke I spoke back.
She said “you have your father’s eyes”
“I love mommy” I said back to her
“ehhhh…. Say that again”
“I love mommy” I think I bit the ends of the words but I was still intangible
“Rand honey come quick …. Caladin has spoke”
I heard footsteps from outside before my father appeared
“ohhhh ….. What did you say he spoke?”
“Yes…. Look honey”
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
They paused for a moment and stared at me
“I love mommy”
“oohhhhhhh”
“Did you hear that” he loves me, mom was getting a bit teary
“What about dad, say you love papa”
I looked at mom “I love mama”
“But papa is here too ….”
“Love …. Mommy”
My dad picked me up
“Say papa”
“Mama”
I was having a stare down with my dad
“Papa”
“mama”
“Oh I see he’s as stubborn as his old man”
“What nonsense I am not stubborn”
“Papa …. Stubborn”
“Oh what did you say” my mom asked
“Oh your already disrespecting your old man you little rascal”
“Rascal”
“Rand! Look what you taught him to say”
“Ah … he … I”
“Give him to me” my mom took me from dad
“It’s ok papa isn’t a bad person you love papa too”
“Papa …. Bad”
I was enjoying the look on my dad’s face when mom spoke
“Hera, take Caladin for a moment”
Hera came and took me from mom
“Love …. Hera”
“……”
Hera just gave me the usual flat look
“Wha … Even her”
“Hera take rand to his room, it’s alright honey I am sure he’ll come around”
After that little incident I started speaking more and more with my family and I started to crawl around the house on my own, I couldn’t look out of the windows by myself but Hera usually followed me or carried me around, I am ashamed to say that I enjoyed being carried by Hera ….. A lot
Hera took me outside more and more, there was a garden in front of our home that mom grew and took care of, she was watering the flowers right now and dad was swinging his sword to the side
It seemed my dad is a warrior of sort, he was quick really quick and his blade was a blur to me
My dad seemed to notice the way I was looking for he screamed Ohhhhhh and went even faster
“Papa … strong”
“Yes papa is strong, but mom is even stronger” mom said in a low voice from behind the fence
“Mama …. Strong” I said as I turned my head and looked from her to dad
“Oh you don’t believe me” she said stepping out of the garden
“Honey lets duel”
“Duel I rather eat fal…. Ah yes I would love some help with my training” one look from mom made my dad freeze and change what he wants to say
The two of them moved to a clear area while Hera and I stood near the front door
Both my parents had a serious look as they bowed to each other, immediately after that dad rushed forward faster than I ever saw him do and then …. He was gone, I searched for him for a moment before I recognized his figure sprawled on the ground quite the distance away
My mom was jumping happily “did you see that honey mom is strong right”
“Mom …. Scawy”
The smile on m mom’s face was lost immediately “Madam, perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to show a child at his age violence”
Mommy gasped and ran to me
“Mommy is sorry” she said as she hugged me and took me inside, we were in the living room when dad came in all disheveled and slumped shoulders
“Mommy …. Hit dad”
“No honey it was just a small wind blade nothing dangerous”
“Wind blade ….”
“a low rank spell”
A spell! That can only mean one thing, Magic!
