This is how I woke up asleep after the beginning had ended

When I woke up I felt heavenly. My body lay on the most comfortable mattress I had ever lain on, my lower body was surrounded by softness and I was enclosed in a comfortable warmth making me want to stay like this forever. Oh and I wasn’t tired anymore.

Opening my eyes I saw white. White hair to be exact and an ear, turning my head a little I saw a perfectly shaped cheek, a cute nose and small, light pink lips. I realized, that I was still at Luna’s house, though now she was asleep. She hugged me close to her, her hands rested carefully on my back and the back of my head, my legs squeezed by her … chest.

I couldn’t move, not because I didn’t want to wake her, though I didn’t want to wake her, but because my body stiffened, emotions running rampart inside of me. That’s the effect her prolonged hug had on me.

When my feelings had calmed and I could move again, I moved my hand to nudge her cheek. Normally I would have been content with just lying there, relishing in the comfort I was feeling, but I wanted to hear her voice again.

In my first life I had been a musician. Good music and beautiful sounds were something that made me feel better than anything else and after a monthlong absence of any sound but the beating of mothers heart I had a craving for beautiful sounds and the most beautiful sound in my reach was Luna’s voice, so I chose to wake her up in order to hear it.

 It took a while. Luna was a heavy sleeper, it felt like hours until she finally slowly opened her eyes and raised her hands to gently rub them. When she looked at me, her gentle smile appeared, accompanied by a just as gentle voice: „Good morning Shira, did you sleep well?“ I nodded my head as vigorously as I could and gestured to her, trying to make a bow. It was really hard to move with that infant body. „Me? Never slept better, sleeping with another person really is much more comfortable, I should do that more often.“

Then she grabbed me and held me close to her again, beginning to tenderly stroke my head and the cat ears that now adorned my head. When she began to speak again the moment became perfect: „You really had good luck, you know that? To be born in a universe you wish for is unlikely enough, but to be born force sensitive in a star wars verse is even more so. A good number of participants will be out of the tournament, because they weren’t as lucky as you with their first life. Well it helped that your wishes weren’t really that expensive, since they aren‘t that much of a change to your dna. Even those two wishes could be seen as a natural gift in any universe.“

She looked at me, like she was expecting an answer, but since I could only give her a nod, she exclaimed annoyed: „It really isn‘t fun to talk to somebody when they can’t answer, you know?“ though she didn‘t stop petting me.

I thought a bit and raised my hand to point at her, closed my eyes and moved my mouth, swooping my arms around as I did. When I opened my eyes she looked at me confused and asked: „You want me to sing?“ I nodded, „well I could it belongs to my domain after all, but first you must do something for me.“

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

I looked at her expectantly, while she bent over to whisper something in my ear, something that made me blush. It was really embarrassing, I was a former man after all, but the prospect of hearing the queen goddess of arts sing was enough to make me do it anyway.

I looked at my right hand and slowly lifted it up until it was diagonally beside my face balled it into something barely resembling a paw and while leaning my head to the left I said: „nyaa!“

That was the first time I saw her break into a huge, full blown, teeth showing smile. Until then it had only been soft, small or gentle smiles, this smile made the whole room literally light up. At that moment I swore I would see that smile as often as possible every day from then on till the last day to ever be.

She didn’t say anything for a few moments, until she opened her mouth and began to sing.

In my old world there was a legend saying that the famous violinist Giuseppe Tartini on his deathbed confessed he saw the devil in his dreams playing on a violin a piece of unmatched beauty with unparalleled skill and a devilish trill, that he had tried to recreate the music he heard in his dream but he hadn’t been able to make more than a shadow of the devil’s tune, even then the devil’s trill sonata was his greatest composition.

I knew how he had felt. Her strong, gentle voice, singing in a language unlike any other, combined with a simple, elegant melodie made music of unreachable, divine beauty, glorious, majestic, marvellous!

Nothing I ever heard could even begin to compare to this. I closed my eyes and focused on her song, trying to make sense of why this music was so unbelievably beautiful.

I couldn’t. It was like a veil was stopping me analysing this miracle my ears heard. Though I felt disappointed by that, I decided to enjoy this song, while it lasted.

When Luna’s song had ended after an all to short time I sighed and opened my eyes again.

„This song is called ‚the creation‘. It describes how existence created us deities and the multiverse. It is my greatest work, only ever heard by the royal gods, the aspects and existence itself.“

I was speachless, well even more speachless, considering I couldn’t even speak at that moment. I really didn’t know how to feel, happy to be allowed to hear her song, or angry because it hadn’t been heard resounding in every corner of the multiverse like it deserved to. In the end I decided to just be happy, I couldn’t do anything about it.

Luna’s gentle voice drew me out of my thoughts again: „It is time for you to go back to the mortal plane again. Just close your eyes and think of going back, but before you go I should tell you, that two years from now on the second birthday of all champions there will be a great party for all champions and their patron deities in the champions lobby, which will be available from then on.

Now there will be a surprise for you when you wake up, so have fun with it!“

Sadness filled me. I didn‘t want to go again, but I knew I had to. With tears in my eyes, it was okay, I wasn’t a man anymore, I waved her goodbye before closing my eyes to go back.
