"Zargal!" still nothing though I feel I am getting stronger as this body ages. A year has passed in this new strange world I have diligently put myself through pain and training of this body, now I do not feel the pain as before when I try to at least reach out to the nether.

My new family is rather annoying coming to bother me every day but I will be honest I have rather grown fond of them as they take care of me in this moment of weakness. But they also exploit it every day, like for example this they toy with me they make me do strange things like giving the siblings a hug, but that just complicates things as the mother also wants it later.

"Come Eli! You can do it come to your big sister!" "No Eli come to big brother!" see what I mean they are taking advantage of me they make me walk towards them while they smile like idiots. But none the less like I said I indulge them in their silly shenanigans.

Since the last time I walked towards Marcus, I guess this time it should be the sister Lilly. I slowly walked towards her with some bumps but nevertheless rather successfully reached her arms and I will be honest it was rather tiring doing this walking thing every day.

"YAY!" the sister Lilly happily yelled as she hugged me tightly but still with not enough strength to hurt this frail body of mine. I glanced at Marcus and saw him as a rather pitiful being the look in his eyes was sad, he just looked at me and Lilly as she started spinning me around the room.

"Ok my turn!" he jumped up and snatched me rather forcibly from Lilly's hands and before I knew it was Marcus now that had his cheeks rubbing against mine. I don't understand humans what was so fun?

"Hey no fair she came to me it was fair and square Marcus!" Lilly was turning red I guess it was the rage that made her like that. Marcus just stuck out his tongue and continued with his game, this was the thing that happened daily for the whole year.

"Marcus!" she yelled at him and grabbed me from his arms but he was not just about to let go as well, same old like every day, I rolled my eyes as they struggled with each other with me in the middle.

That was when I hear loud footsteps and I knew I would finally be free again. The door was opened slowly and a face popped out with a rather menacing smile on her face. It the mother of three of us Lidia, she didn't even say a single word as she entered the room.

She glanced at the two which made them shudder as they paled than she moved her eyes towards me which were filled with warmth again. She gently took me from my sibling's hands and placed me in my soft prison or how they call it a baby crib.

She kissed me on my forehead and smiled gently I would be lying if I said I didn't feel that strange warmth again like the last time. She then turned around and grabbed the two troublemakers by their ears and dragged them outside, all I could hear was soft and painful wailing from the other side of the door I pity them not.

I wanted to take this chance and try to reach out to the netherworld again but I knew better. After a while, Lidia came back with the now two red eared siblings who spoke nothing as they just followed behind her like puppies.

"You two sit there and be quiet" she said no she commanded them and all they could do was obey as they sulked in the corner of the room. She smiled towards me as she gently took me out of the baby crib, she placed me on her lap and brought out a new book.

Yes, everyday Lidia my mother would read be strange books about some stupid heroes how they save the world, the first time she was a little surprised when I actually let out a few tears when she read me the book. The book was called "The sun hero and the seven companions".

The book was about a hero called from a different world to battle the evil demon lord and his seven companions to that aided him in his battle against the evil. What made me cry that day was the fact that no one knew the demons side, no one asked if maybe they were not evil.

This body was strange that was the first time I experienced that new kind of pain inside me. It was more painful than the actual wound made by the blade.

But I did stop eventually and when I did the trio that was always here have never again read me a book about some hero and his quests. Now I was just fed all the information about the different animals that existed and plants. To be honest I was rather enjoying that there were also pictures of them it was strange to me how I found it interesting at first but I did not think about it too much.

"Okay, my little star today we are gonna be reading about the reptiles of Alkern! How existing!" she snuggled me as she smiled and started reading about the all the different species of beasts she called reptiles.

After she was done with the reading for today it was time for my food as my stomach was making funny noises. Thankfully she was not torturing me anymore my diet was moved to strange food it was liquidy but I was grateful as my teeth were not able to chew hard food yet.

"Well, now its time for your nap little star" Lidia placed me back into the baby crib like always she gave me a kiss on my forehead. The two siblings finally made some move as they were restless in their sits. "Fine you two can give her a kiss as well" Lidia let out a sigh as she let the two siblings kiss me on my cheeks both at the same time.

I was left alone in my room as they all happily left with smiles on their faces. I pulled myself up as I sat down with great difficulty, I closed my eyes and slowly let my mind wander. I opened them again in a flash before the pain I was all too familiar with came back.

As the summonings were no longer painful I tried to look into the netherworld, but this time the pain was ten times the greater but still I did not make a sound. Because greater than the pain was the joy as for the split second I was able to see them slumbering.

"Wait for me a little longer" I thought to myself as I was forced into sleep because of the great pain this undertaking required.
