As my mother, Selene, carried in her warm arms out of the room, I finally got to see more of this grand place I've been living in. It wasn't just her and —there were knights, armored and stern, following us down the corridors. These guys looked straight out of a dieval fantasy, but so of them glanced my way with friendly smiles.
One even waved at , which, of course, I couldn't help but giggle at. Well, I an, who could bla them for noticing , the beautiful baby of Lady Selene? Heh, not that I'm being vain or anything…
Selene glanced down at , smiling softly as she heard giggle. She looked over her shoulder and noticed the knights entertaining with their goofy expressions. For a mont, they were caught off-guard, quickly shifting back to their usual serious faces, like they hadn't just been making funny faces at a baby.
"Abu... Buuu," I babbled, trying to mimic the knights, but apparently, I didn't find their faces nearly as amusing. Selene chuckled as she turned back to , playfully narrowing her eyes, pretending to scold the knights with a gentle expression that spoke volus. She rocked gently, her warmth and laughter filling the air as we continued our journey.
Even with all the grandeur and the seemingly perfect life I was now living, these monts felt real, like a genuine connection between mother and child. Despite the fact that I was still piecing together the language and the world, I knew one thing for sure: Selene cared deeply for . And I, a grown man trapped in a baby's body, couldn't help but appreciate this unexpected bond.
Still, I had a whole new world to explore beyond her arms, and I couldn't wait to see what lay ahead.
As my mother carried through the doors, the knights flanking us pushed them open with ease. The mont I looked outside, the bright sunlight hit my eyes, making squint. It took a second to adjust, but when I did, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
We had stepped onto a balcony overlooking the most breathtaking garden I'd ever seen. The colors were so vivid, I thought I might be dreaming. We were on the second floor, overlooking a massive garden below, its pathways lined with flowers I couldn't even begin to na, all blooming in every color imaginable. Gentle mists rolled over the edges, giving the entire place an ethereal, otherworldly feel.
It was almost too much to take in, like my senses were overloaded by the sheer grandeur of it all.
"Did you like it, Asher?" Selene asked, her voice soft and full of warmth.
Yes, even in this new life, my na is still Asher. A small comfort in this strange world. I looked back at her, managing to form the closest thing to an enthusiastic baby nod. Of course, I liked it—how could I not? But deep down, I was overwheld. This was more than just liking—it was awe.
Then I noticed sothing even more mind-blowing. Raising my eyes further, I saw the sky—two suns. There were two of them, one a bright orange-red, the other a soft lavender hue, both casting light over this incredible world. The mix of colors bathed everything in a surreal glow, as if the sky itself was a masterpiece.
It was too much beauty at once, and I found myself almost frozen, staring up at the heavens in disbelief.
As I stood entranced by the sky, I suddenly felt sothing—soone—gazing at .
"You should enjoy the view, little one. It won't always be this peaceful."
A deep voice echoed softly in my mind, and before I could make sense of it, my heart skipped a beat. I glanced around, trying to figure out where it ca from, but saw nothing. Was it my imagination? Or was soone else watching from beyond those two strange suns?
"What happened?" Selene's voice was filled with concern as she saw looking around, clearly confused.
Crap! I had to remind myself—I'm still just a baby. I can't exactly explain that I was freaking out because of so mysterious voice in my head. So, I did what any baby would do: I started mumbling gibberish and waved my tiny arms around like it was nothing.
"Ni, no… yiushek… yi aresti," I babbled, doing my best impression of a clueless baby.
Thankfully, that seed to work. Selene sighed softly, her worry easing as she held closer, cradling in her warm embrace. Monts later, a knight approached with sothing resembling a small chair. They placed it beside her, and she sat down with nestled in her arms. The knight bowed slightly before stepping back to give us space.
As Selene gently rocked , I felt her presence calming the strange tension that had built up inside . The knights resud their quiet, watchful stance around us, their armor catching the soft light from the garden. For a mont, all the thoughts about mysterious voices and magical worlds faded as I relaxed against my mother, the sweet scent of her hair filling the air.
Before I knew it, the soothing rhythm of her breathing, combined with the gentle warmth of her arms, lulled into sleep. As I drifted off, the last thing I heard was the distant murmur of the garden, and the world around lted away into a deep, peaceful slumber.
Whatever mysteries lay ahead, I'd face them later. For now, I was just a baby—safe, warm, and, for a brief mont, at peace.
Selene, despite seeing that Asher was now fully asleep, continued to hum softly. The gentle lody flowed like a soothing breeze, wrapping around the child like a warm blanket. As she rocked him back and forth, her expression was a mixture of fierce protection and tender affection.
The knights surrounding her remained vigilant, their eyes scanning the periter, ensuring that no one would disturb this precious mont. They understood the weight of their duty; Selene was not just any mother—she was a warrior of unparalleled strength. And they knew all too well how destructive her wrath could be if soone dared to intrude upon her peace.
