Deimien p.o.v
Looking outside our quiet little house sometimes on sleepless nights like these, I think how long I can live in this peaceful world.This world where there are no dangers lurking in the shadows,where the greatest dangers to the humans are humans themselves.People here, ignorant of the world, look up in the sky and can only speculate the vastness of it.Afterall this only one of the few safe world in this vast multiverse.And sometimes I look at the beautiful women sleeping peacefully beside me and think of how long this farce will last this time and if I could muster the courage the courage to actually confess my true identity will she love me the same or will he be heartbroken nonetheless.Snorting I can only curse the injustice of The Rules and my own stupidity for not reading it at that time.
Suddenly I feel a gust of wind with the smell of earth and a hint of power in it.I can identify this power anywhere, but..... why would Mother be calling here.She never calls me when I am living in a world and I just visited her few decades ago.For beings like Mother and us it is just the blink of an eye.Something troubling must have happened for Mother to call so soon.
Getting out of bed without a noise I trudge outside towards the back of the house where the farm is.Getting lost within the tall crops I thank the spirits that our closest neighbor is a few miles away.Looking at my surroundings one last time I shift,or as you mortals call it, teleport. As the light from the shit dims ,the surroundings finally become clear.All around me as far as the eye can see is a dense forest.In front of me is a large tree in the middle of this clearing on which I built my treehouse. Though calling it a house would be an understatement.Last time I visited it would be a century ago,only the walls and little parts of the roof is left intact.I made this clearing first time I came in this world.Till now no one has ever managed to find it,a great accomplishment taking into accound the small size of this world and the fact that the humans have discovered most of this planet. Safe houses like these in all the worlds I have visited till now acts as my impromptu landing pad and also contains any residual energy I release.Thats why any major spells I do within the wards I erected outside this clearing.
Sitting cross legged on the ground I connect myself to the mana in this place.After years of releasing residual mana this place is full of it unlike other places in this world which is almost devoid of it.After a few seconds, I close my eyes and envision the runes required to open a temporary connection to Mother.Opening my eyes I watch as the multiple rune circles of deep blue,almost purple colour form in layers one inside the other floating a few feet of the ground.Putting vast amounts of mana from my personal cache, I activate the spell. Instantly a bright light fills the surroundings and from the rune circle appears a silhoutte of a woman. Though her face is hidden in her shadows one could easily see her eyes the colour of molten lava,filled with wisdom of untold ages.
"So many years had passed, so much you have experienced and accomplished but I see you still remain the peasent you were at heart,demein." said mother,her voice like the moving of clear spring water.
"You know me mother, I never wished those things.All I wanted to do was make the world a better palce.I was a simple farm boy at birth and will remain so at heart till eternity.
So tell me why did you call ?"
Hearing this mother seems to become seems to hesitate.Mother never hesitates.Something must be troubling her
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"What is it Mother?"
Sighing se speaks, "Another seed has been born.But this time he is the son of my High preistess and second prince of drezsten kingdom.Both very prominent figures.Their child is already the target of many conspiracies and assasinations.Add to the fact that he is a seed and everyone will try to either control him or kill him.An assasination has already been thawrted during his birth but this this time some powerful people of both the human and draconian kingdom had joined hands to finish them. Fomora had to finally give her own life force to activate the old teleportation array to save her child and send him somewhere else choosing to let her child atleast live insted of death or worse in their hands."
Saying this mother becomes very sad.I know how much she loves her high priestesses and this one too much potential to die this way.Mothers heats must have broke watching her give her life away,not being able to do anything.Curse The Rules.And it really is a very troubling thing.Seeds are very rare and they can either save the world or destroy it.
Mother again continues"I dont want him to become lost like this,wasting his potential,becomng an outcast that he surely would become with his gifts.That is if he could live long enough to be found by civilisation insted of appearing somewhere in a forest and be killed.So I have intercepted and paused his teleportation with my powers but I cannot do anything more.So I want you ,my child, to bring him to this world and help raise and teach him all you can.See to that he can utilisize his full potential.And when he is of age and you deem his ready bring him back to me so that he can take his rightful place in his world, making it better along the way if he is any good."
Okay,I did not expect that.Mother must realize that I dont know anything about raising a child.But nonetheless if mother has asked me to do this task she must either know something or have too much faith in me.But I cannot reject Mother too! And if I can raise this seed at least I can make sure the kid grows to be a good one.But how can I raise a kid.
OH fuck it!! I am The Deimein Runespeaker.I have the power to easily destroy this world.I can easily raise a child.....maybe. I will think of something when the time comes. Now lets bring him here .Too much time and he could return back to the essence.
"I will try my best mother to help this child and raise him to your expectations."
"Farewell then my son.I will expect you soon.Oh, and give this to the child, it shall help me watch over him.",saying this she disappeared in another explosion of light and in her place was a gold pendant in the shape of a coiling dragon with a red diamond as its eye.
Now lets see where you are my wonder child
I again closed my eyes and drew another set of runes this time connecting my spirit itself to the land of andrea.I was a little like astral projection but here you became aware of all the energies flowing in the world.I have to concentrate in specific places with high mana density to find him
Lets see where you are.Huh...not here....nope....neither here.....Where are you my little drake
Found you at last.Wow you have got some serious punch my boy.Let's bring you here.
The rune circle activated one more,this time a summoning array connected to the teleportation channel.The runes flared for a last time before vanishing, leaving behind a small baby of a few weeks.His skin was the colour of fairest white with a head full of gold hair.His small round eyes were gold with flecks of different colours in them,as if his eyes were a rainbow.As soon as he appeared he started wailing loudly.I gently picked him in my arms and kissed his head and placed the pendant on his neck and he immediately stopped crying and closing his eyes went to sleep.Carrying him in my arms I got up on my feet and immediately realizing my blunder asked a loud "But what's his name?".
The answer came in a soft whisper in the wind seemingly coming from the dragon pendant "Nathaniel Arthur Drakul"
"So baby drake let's see what we can do for you".I spoke aloud to no one. Taking one last look at the clearing and remembering to come at once and repairing the tree house I shift from the place in a intense blinding light.
