'Wow, this is so goddamn boring' i thought as i was floating in what i assumed to be my new mothers womb. I woke up god knows how long ago and all i have done is sleep in this unexpectedly warm and cozy safe haven of mine but recently i have been getting bored since i started to regain my memories . Maybe me getting back my memories means i will be born soon!
Not too long after having these thoughts, i was forced out of my safe haven and when i felt the cool temperature of the room on my skin i opened my quivering eyelids and was greeted by an elderly woman with gray hair, a few wrinkles on her face and pointy ears! From the look of her clothes i would assume she is a healer helping my mother give birth. She was talking to someone i couldn't see with a worried face but confirming i was breathing her worry turned into a fine smile.
After listening to them speak a few more sentences, the blessing engraved into my soul started working and i started understanding what they were talking about.
"It's true that most babies cry when born, but i assure you she is fine. Everything about her indicates that she is indeed healthy."
After washing me and wrapping me in white clotch, the midwife handed me to a beautiful woman laying on a bed. She had a very small build and her golden-coloured hair reached down to her shoulders. Her pale white skin and sharp facial features with black eyes seemed like they weren't far off off aphrodite-sama in terms of beauty. She started weeping and gently caressing my cheeks when she saw my face.
"Sob... my cute little angel..."
After my new mother finally averted her gaze from my eyes she handed me to what i assume to be my new father. He had bronze-coloured skin and his face together with golden hair felt very average compared to my mother but i could instantly tell that my father was a warrior of some sort with his muscular build. I grabbed his finger and giggled at his reaction. After he finally composed himself he smiled at me like i was the most precious treasure in the whole world.
Seeing me toy with my fathers finger mother got jealous and grabbed me back and put me to sleep in her arms. After 2 days had passed we were finally leaving to home.
"Remember to come back in a week for the ritual!"

The midwife was yelling about some ritual in a week. My mother was holding me and smiling at people passing by us. This village we are walking in is actually much bigger than i expected an elf village to be, it wouldn't be wrong to start calling in a city soon! The ground is made of white blocks and most buildings are painted mostly white with different coloured lines. Currently we are on way to brag about me to my parent's friends. I've figured out that my father is a leader of the people living in this city judging by how people greet him.
"So, have you decided on this cutie's name yet?"
Listening to my parents and their friend's conversation i found out that my name is now "Luna" and that my mom is a tailor and is childhood friends with my father. My dad's name is Nao and my mother's name is Aimi. After visiting 4 different homes we got back home and i was finally fed, placed into a crib and put to sleep. In the respective cycle of eat, sleep and defecate, a week passed in a blink of an eye.
We are currently climbing a hill to reach the holy church of this world’s creator, Demeter, to complete a ritual which will display my talent for magic with different colours. As we reached the top we arrived at a small building with a garden next to it. The healer from earlier waved at us and asked us to follow her to the garden. Inside the garden was a small pond with transparent crystals and an old wearing a priest outfit.
“Welcome, to proceed with the ritual, let us borrow your newborn for five minutes and sit still on the chairs in the back.”
Mom handed me to the healer and I watched as the priest started chanting and dropping pitch black liquid into the pond. After about 3 minutes he finished his chanting and the healer had taken off my clothes, readying me to be put into the pond.
“Put her down katarina” the priest told the healer and she slowly sinked me in the water. The pond shined glaringly with two colours. First was blinding golden light and following that was a dark black colour which seemed to suck in the colours of any nearby objects.
"T-This is...But how...?”
The latter colour seemed to shock the priest, healer and father. Mom only stared at me worryingly after seeing the priests expression.
“What does the dark colour mean? I have never heard of this happening before…" Mother quickly inquired in worry.
"Don’t worry miss, there’s nothing wrong with your child, it’s actually the opposite. The dark colour from earlier means that she has affinity for Space/Time magic which is only known to used by demons. And not only Is it a magic never-before seen with elves, she also has a mana pool larger than both mine and the katarina’s combined!.
“Kukuku, did you hear that Aimi? Not only is our child the cutest but even the most talented in terms of magic! As expected of my daughter… Though I won’t be able to teach her my family’s skills if she doesn’t have talent for fire magic...” Father started out with an elastic expression which turned into a gloomy smile nearing the end of his sentence.
Don’t worry father, I don't need fire-magic to be strong! I promise you can be proud of me when you hear my name in songs about an elf capturing dungeons with a dagger and a confident attitude!
