The YEAR 2000 A.G:

UNKNOWN POV:

‘Where am I? Why is it so dark in here? Why can I not see anything? Wait, what is dark? What is seeing? How do I know them? How can I speak? What language am I speaking in? What is speaking? What is language? *Haaaa* no need to think these things. I should just think how to get out of this place.’

Push, keep pushing, it will come out.

‘Huh, what is this voice saying? Who is it calling madam? Who, there is a pressure that is pushing me. I can see light. I am almost there, whoever you are who is forcing me, keep doing it. I don’t want to stay in this dark place.’

I can see its head coming out. Give the final push

‘Finally, I reached the exit. Now let’s go out there.’

*Crying*

“Congratulations, it’s a healthy boy. You have a boy. Would I like to hold him?” said the old woman who was holding the crying baby.

‘Shit! That hurt like hell. What the hell was that? I can’t even stop crying. Hey Old woman, what did you do? Huh, Why do they all look so big?’ (Baby)

On the bed a beautiful woman with golden hair and sapphire eyes was laying with an exhausted expression, she was sweating too much. The old woman was speaking to her with gentleness.

‘Oh! She must be my mother. She looks gorgeous. Hmmm, she does have a slender body, but she looks strong.’ (Baby)

The beautiful woman said in a weak and feeble voice “Please let me hold my baby boy.” (Woman on the bed)

Right at this moment, a man with black hair and pitch-black eyes enters the room by opening the door with a *Bam*. He was wearing a simple villager’s attire.

“Ashia, you alright? How is our baby? I heard its cry! Are you both ok?” said the newcomer with a panic-stricken expression.

“Calm down Ymir. Our son is healthy and we both are alright. Though I am weak, its ok. Look how cute he looks.” Ashia said while trying to soothe her husband who was overly concerned about their safety.

‘So that’s my dad, huh. Well even though he does look lean but, he also is strong. Really remarkable...What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I have the power to judge them, by just looking at them?’ The baby started to frown which was really cute. But to others, it looked like the baby was startled by his father’s hysterics.

“Have some moderation, you idiot! Look how you startled the baby.” The old lady reprimanded Ymir.

“Eh! No way. The baby got startled?” Only then Ymir realized how impulsively he acted. Well, he could not be blamed for his actions. He was worried about his wife and their child. But he still felt guilty about startling the baby.

“I am a sorry baby; did I startle you. Please forgive your daddy this time.” Ymir straight went up to Ashia who was holding the baby and starts talking to the baby in a comical way.

*Giggle* The baby started giggling after seeing his father’s comical acts.

‘Damn my dad is funny.’ (Baby)

*Haha* “Stop doing it. You are looking like a clown. Stop it, the baby is not startled anymore.” Ashia tried to stop her husband while trying to hold back her laughter.

*SMACK*

The old woman smacked Yemi’s head.

“Shut up you little punk and think about a name for the newborn baby of yours.” (Old woman)

After the smack on the head, Ymir came to his senses.

“Name? Why are you asking me? My mother gave me my name. And my grandmother gave my father his name. So, it’s a tradition that his mother will give him his name.” Ymir tried to say it while looking cool.

“So, name him Ashia.” (Ymir)

“I did not know, you had this kind of tradition!” (Old lady)

“I am glad that I can give him his name,” said Ashia with an overjoyed expression.

‘Oh boy! I will be given a name? Well, whatever. But let it sound cool.’ (Evil*Ahem* Baby)

Ashia held up the bay with her still weak hand with help from Ymir.

“He has my sapphire eyes and your black hair. He will look handsome in the future. I know that he will accomplish many great things in his life.” Ashia praised her son.

“Of course, whose son do you think he is? He will have many great accomplishments like his father.” Ymir said with a proud expression.

‘Yeah right!’ The old lady thought in a mocking tone.

Ashia coolly ignored her husband’s hysterics and started speaking again “Although he did inherit your black hair but thank god he did not inherit his looks. He will look handsome in the future and steal the hearts of many ladies.”

‘Thank god I will be handsome.’ (Baby)

“What are you talking about? I am not handsome?” Ymir got crestfallen when he heard his wife.

*Giggle* “Oh stop it. Let me think an appropriate name for our son.” Said Ashia to a crestfallen Ymir.

Ymir recovered upon remembering the naming of his son and looked at Ashia with expectations.

Upon pondering for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion. “I have decided. Our son’s name will be Xenos.”

“Xenos. A good name. Hahaha. Welcome to our life, Xenos.” Ymir got excited and started happily talking to the new-born.

Ignoring his father, the baby who just got his name, started to think, “Xenos huh. Yeah, it’s a cool name. Hmm, with me getting my name, let’s start thinking how to find the reason behind me knowing all these things. But first, I am hungry”

Xenos started crying after feeling hungry.

Ymir panicked and gave Xenos back to Ashia, upon thinking that Xenos was crying due to him holding Xenos.

“I am sorry Xenos. I will not take you from your mother, so please stop crying.” Ymir said trying to stop a crying Xenos.

“I think that he is hungry and he needs milk. Feed him Ashia.” (Old woman)

Upon the sudden realization, Ashia consented and started breastfeeding the little Xenos.

“You feed him and take care of him while I go to the village elder and give this news.” said the old lady to Ashia and looked at little Xenos who was breastfeeding a loving and caring gaze.

Ashia nodded and thanked her. “Thank you for all your help, Tesmania.”

“And you brat! Make sure that Ashia gets proper rest for at least a week and take care of both of them.” Tesmania said to Ymir.

“You bet! Thank you for everything.” (Ymir)

“Well, then goodbye and goodnight.” Saying that the old lady called Tesmania left their house.

“Well then look at little Xenos, he is already asleep. Let’s go to sleep ourselves.” Suggested Ymir with delight in his eyes.

“Yeah, we should. I am so happy that we now have our own little family.” (Ashia)

“Good night my love.” (Ymir)

While Ymir and Ashia were talking to each other so delightfully, unknown to them in a dark room which was lit by a dim light that the center of the room in a faraway place, around a round table, eight figures, one of a woman and seven men can be seen gathered.

“So, he finally came.” (Woman)

“Yes. It took 2000 years for him to arrive.” (Man-1)

“What should we do?” (Man-2)

“Nothing. Let us see where fate takes us.” (man-3)

“Are you sure?” (Man – 4)

“As he said, we should let fate take care of it. It’s not like there will be a problem.” (Man – 5)

Two of the remained silence without giving their response.

*Sigh*

Seeing this sight, the woman sighed.

“Then this concludes the discussion. Let us depart. And hope that fate takes care of us all.” (Woman)

Saying her last words the figure of the woman disappeared from the room without any trace.

Seeing her leaving all the other six figures, started leaving as well.

In an unknown palace:

A beautiful and gorgeous girl in her teenage was sitting on a chair near a window with a book in her hands. She was reading the book with concentration when a silhouette of a woman appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

Looking at the silhouette, the girl could not help but happily speak, “Welcome back mom. Did you again go to another meeting with them?”

“Yes, my dear. And I have a very happy news for you.” (Woman)

The girl got curious and asked the woman, “What good news?”

“You will meet your father soon. He has returned.” (Woman)

“Really! I can not wait to meet him.” (Girl)

After saying that the girl stared off the window out of expectation of meeting her father for the first time.
