Somewhere in the valley of the Grey mountains.
In an abandoned shack a couple resides.
A woman pregnant hallowing in pain digging her nails deep in the flesh of her husband arms.
The agony was all too unbearable .
The woman Lilith screamed hysterically at her husband Carldon.
{wallowing in pain}
kill me!
kill me!
kill me!
Please Carldon please!
Please!
Frustrated from the situation he shouted “what the fuck do you want me to do!”.
Carldon: I’m sorry.
Lilith: Please i don’t want my son to be a monster!
His wife Lilith ashamed of her pregnancy as she was unfortunate that her child will be born on the devil’s birthday, the 31st of February.
{Screaming}
“MY GOD HES COMING”!
Suddenly there was a dead silence everywhere around so silent you could go deaf. The baby came out with long black hair , strange patterns and a slight smile on it’s face.
Carldon took his son and looked at him with such unsurety and started to question god’s and his life decisions. He wondered if god had blessed him with a miracle child or The forsaken child of prophecy.
His 13th son born on the 31st of February, a day never before seen by any man alive and was only said to be the Devil’s birthday and the day he fell from grace.
Carldon who knew of what may happen to his child began to worry profusely.
He knows if people found out about his actual birth date what would happen. It could start a war. He hoped his son would not be tormented and treated badly by others because of the legend.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
With his hands shaking Carldon said to his wife Lilith who is still in disgust, that while he is living their son will be free.
He then decided a name .
“Our son’s name will be Eren”
A name that represents freedom.
Upon hearing his given name , Eren's body shone a bright light around his silhouette and the strange marks on his face began to glow in an unknown color for couple of seconds.
This marked Eren's acceptance of his life on Earth.
After just mere moments of being born Eren was already trying to learn the language that his father spoke.
Shortly after that his father asked Eren why he hasn’t cried or uttered a word since he was born but to his father’s shock Eren replied with “criyyy” with his eyes wide open and laughing innocently.
Carldon was amazed beyond words how his son could be that capable.
Carldon: Our son must be a genius , we just conceived him and he’s already said his first words….this isn’t normal Lilith.
look
take him
Lilith: No… get him away from me
Carldon: Don’t be so stupid!
it’s your son
Lilith: YOUR RIGHT!
IT!…..not he….
Inside Carldon felt guilty about the way his wife was behaving towards their son , because deep inside he knew he was partly responsible because he was the first to mentioned such legends of this dreadful day to her.
“Carldon! , what will we do with him?, what if he’s not even our child? " Lilith asked .
“Quiet Lilith! don’t say such things”, snapped Carldon.
Carldon: He’s OUR boy nothing else matters or will change that , you have to accept it and live with it
“What about the legend ? " Carldon asked Lilith.
Lilith: What if he’s an iblin spawn.
Carldon:NO , he won’t ,he isn’t .
WE will make sure he’s raised right. Let’s clean up and please let’s stop worrying and rest for today.
Lilith laying in silence next to her husband is still unconvinced and is determined that her son is an abomination and even started to resent meeting her husband.
The next day
Carldon woke up a feeling full of life and felt optimistic after witnessing his child’s intellect.
“Good morning my dear” , Said Carldon as he wakes her up.
It’s morning already how are you feeling?.
Carldon: Eren is wide awake and he didn’t even cry once since he was born last night.“ He looks happy and he’s reaching out , i think he’s trying to hug you Lilith.
“What should we do now? , ”asked Lilith .
let’s go back to the village and try getting some rest there and then decide what we should do after.
Until then lets keep a low profile.
Lilith: I’m afraid of what they might do to us Carldon , these people can be so cruel at times and they’re very religious and will do anything in the name of God no matter how violent.
Carldon looked at this wife with a smile and kissed her gently reciting his love for her then said we are to be his guide and his anchor .
We must be better!
So let’s rest for tomorrow.
Three days later
As Lilith and Carldon embarked on their journey back to the village Caesar , many strange phenomenons began unfolding.
All the creatures and Animals in the area began migrating closer to village Caesar. Eclipses started to happen a few times a week, and the nights at times turned into day by strange lights in the sky.
Many worshipers began speculating that this is an omen that a great evil is a mist .
Many smaller groups of people that rejected the worshipers began saying that the real god has been born and began searching for him.
It’s a good thing we set up camp here I’m exhausted.
look even the horses are tired.
“What should we expect when we get back Carldon?” Asked Lilith.
Carldon :I already told you
Lilith : But
Carldon: Shhh!
Carldon: Do you hear that ?
There’s something out there, gimme my knife quickly.
Hold Eren now and Stay here.
As soon as Carldon went outside the tent he immediately realized they were surrounded by the forest creatures ,predators and prey alike sitting and laying in harmony.
As if they were waiting for something.
Carldon: “what is this !? I have never seen such behavior by animals, what do they want ?”
Maybe this is the work of a tainted.
Suddenly there was a loud scream that broke the morning silence.
{loud Scream }
Lilith: Carldon! There’s a huge black bear outside our tent !
Carldon: Shhhhhh be quiet woman I know .
It’s not attacking and seem to be waiting or something…….
look!
They are rabbits and deer next it .
That should be impossible animals don’t conjugate like that.
Lilith :Do you think they’re here because of ……Eren ?
I mean why else would they be here? , especially together like that.
Lilith: I believe this might be an omen .
Carldon: We can’t ignore this. If this is happening because of Eren people might be even more hostile.
Be quiet get your things now.
Lilith: But Carl.
Carldon: Hurry
Carldon: We’re leaving.
Now.
