My vision blurred from black to a bright white, my entire body felt of an unfamiliar weakness. I let out a startlingly high pitched cry moments before blanket was removed from over my eyes, revealing a bright ceiling light with a white tiled roof, as well as a woman in what I could only describe as a nurses outfit standing over me, pleasant surprise evident in her eyes.

"Eles da revina! Le visra da mali." She spoke in a language I couldn't understand, which would be quite common in the universe as the general populace of most words did not have translation artifacts. The woman quickly pressed a button at the side of my oddly oversized bed. I glanced down at my body, eyes widening in surprise as it was the one of a baby, as well as a tail clad in black fur wrapped about my leg. I willed it to move as I would a finger and it swayed rather easily, uncurling from my leg to sway lazily back in forth before I let it flop down into the bed.

-This... This is all wrong, Am I a-

My thoughts were quickly cut off by a seemingly genderless voice [Yes, you are a newborn. And personally I thought that the tail would be a rather useful piece.]

My eyes widened in shock at the foreign thoughts in my head. -Who are you and what exactly is happening?!-

[Calm your tone, and asking who I am is like asking who you are, as from now on we can be considered the same person. Ill make this explaination quick for you, as you will have more stressing matters soon enough.]

I nodded my head, though Immediately regretting the action as I was unsure if the being could see or sense my actions, I was about to question if it could before it interrupted me.

[Yes I can see our actions, I taste, smell, feel, see, and hear everything that you do. You see I had originally been contained in the box, as my being is unable to survive in the outside world without a soul or another half, Which would be you. I had been locked in that case for as far as I remember, I grew to understand myself more, which was ultimately the only thing I could do. From what I learned it seemed that only someone with the an extremely mallable soul would be able to survive the fusion with myself, Which despite countless years never came about. Thankfully you came about, and were able to reach through the tear and open the bonds of the box. Allowing my spirit to fuze with your own, unfortunately your body was not strong enough to survive the process, and was.. Well obliterated. Really Its a good thing I pulled us out of the soul cycle and into this corpse, otherwise with your karma we would have been in the underworld for quite a while.] The spirit spoke, my very being confirming that he wasn't lying to me.

-Well.. I suppose I should be grateful.. But where are we even? And what exactly should I call you?- I questioned what seemed to be a new permanent companion.

[ We are currently on a rather 'modern world' as you might call it, they dont appear to have much if any influence in space. From what little I gathered they have had literally no alien contact, as they are in a rather remote part of the universe.. And if you really must call me something... Silas will do]

I wanted to question him more but a middle aged gentleman sort quickly entered the room, followed by a ruggedly handsome elven man in a black suit with silver hair who appeared to be in his 20's and a stunningly beautiful woman, with Yellow eyes and long black hair, another noticeable feature being the black furred tail and ears. They both had expressions of careful joy, the woman having fresh tears on her face, slightly ruining her makeup.

My new bodies instincts as well as practical judgment from my old life immediately determined them to be my parents. Their eyes quickly lit up in joy and relief as they saw me, The man's expression changed to annoyance as he seemingly complained to the doctor, from what I could imagine was his incompetence. Mother on the other hand quickly came over to hold my tiny hand in her own with a brilliant smile.

[If you needed a little more background you are currently three months old, the old host had unexpectedly died from a mana overload, as the body appears to have some odd condition in which it absorbes mana from the surroundings without mercy, and with the baby being a baby it was unable to properly regulate the power. Which was really perfect for our needs, as I need a certain amount of mana to operate my abilities, mana I used to awaken your memories of the past life.. Speaking of which Im rather exhausted, I am going to meditate for a while to recover, please avoid disturbing me unless youre going to die otherwise.]

I was grateful for the information so I let Silas have his rest. Refocusing on the situation at hand I watched as my father walked out of the room with the Doctor, while my mother carefully picked me up to follow them. Momentarily I caught sight of a window, showing a grouping of skyscrapers, I  seemed to be in a sort of suburb to a large city from what little I could see.

We went out into a lobby, where several men stood about with sword in sheathe. From what I could gather from seeing them they appeared rather inferior to the weaponry I was used to. Perhaps they don't have any dwarven craftsmen here. They spoke to my father in that odd gibberish I couldn't understand with a certain tone of respect that was universal in spite of the language barrier. It seemed he was someone important.

While I attempted to make out what they were saying as we left the building I wasn't able to make any of it out, but I feel like with a baby's sponge like brain I would be able to learn it properly in a few months. As we left the building there seemed to be a few photographers, attempting to take pictures of him while his guards blocked the way in an organized fashion. Dad wore a stern professional expression I had often seen on the general.

My mother on the other hand completely ignored everything around and happily wagged a finger about in front of me, which I suppressed the urge to grab with the best of my ability. Unfortunately I gave in on the car ride and grabbed her finger with my hand. 

Along the way I fought the urge to fall asleep, to no effect as I slowly faded to sleep.
