In a secluded location on Earth, a young man stood while gazing at the sky.
Eryndor has joined a mission to contact Shx’Trelith? That’s nice.
He opened his hand, embedded on his palm was a glowing symbol, extrely complicated and purple in color.
The symbol glowed faintly, before the young man began disappearing, starting from his toes.
A few seconds later, no traces were left in the secluded area, which might’ve given away a hint of the young man’s presence.
"Erin, my baby! You’re back! How was the trip to Earth?"
It turns out the young man was Erin who had helped out Eryndor.
A middle-aged lady was ruffling his hair, while asking him about his experience.
"It was good, mom. Just not what I expected."
"Haven’t I told you countless tis? Your original parent’s mories might’ve been changed or sealed, you’ll have to learn the related arts or spells to deal with it.
"You always co back saying it’s unexpected when all you do is disguise yourself and ask your parents if they had another kid. Of course they’ll say no.
"You’ve almost mastered the required skills, just a few more years and you can use it on your parents. Don’t be upset now."
"No mom, this ti they rembered."
There was a mont of silence as the lady stopped ruffling her head. She looked him in the eye and smiled.
"Did they?" There was genuine happiness in her eyes, mixed with a hint of sadness.
Erin looked up at her.
"Yes, so random anomaly unsealed my mom’s mories.
"This ti when I talked to them posing as a delivery man, my mom spoke about how she had another kid just the sa age as their current one.
"That he’s missing, and they’re still looking for him. My mom almost cried talking about it."
The middle-aged lady had tears in the corner of her eyes.
"You’ll go now, won’t you? Back to your original parents."
Erin smiled back at her, reaching out to wipe her tears while he answered. He instantly understood what she was hinting at.
"No, this is my ho now. You’re my mom too. I’ve lived ten years at that place, and ten years here. My feelings for this place are equally as strong as that place if not more.
"I’ll just reveal to them my identity, and how I’ve been living all these years.
"I’ll tell them how I’ve always loved them, rembered them, and wanted them to rember .
"I’ve realized that this is my ho now, I’ll return after eting them."
The middle aged lady didn’t attempt to dissuade him. Sowhere deep within her heart, she indeed wished for him to stay.
As he was heading towards his room, Erin turned around and said.
"Oh and, I t the young man who had taken my place. The one my parents thought of as their kid. He could be said to be my brother now I guess.
"He is promising, talented, smart, and handso. Just like a lesser version of , you know."
The middle aged lady chuckled, well versed with his shalessness. "Why are you going to your room now?"
"Just packing a few things, I would need so gifts for my parents, no? One for my younger brother too."
"Oh? He is a younger brother now? Wasn’t he supposed to be the sa age as you?"
"Of course he is the younger brother. I am stronger so I am the elder one, it’s only obvious."
As he entered his room, a signboard above the door shook when he shut it.
It had the na, "Erin."
But if one looked closely, a few letters were smudged after the letter ’n’, and the letter ’i’ seed to have been overwritten over so other smudged letter.
Was it Erin’s way of discarding his past na? No one knew.
After slinging a bag over his shoulder, Erin spoke to the middle aged lady who was sitting on her sofa, knitting a sweater.
"Can you open the portal to the Earth please?"
"Sure, wait a few minutes, it takes ti."
"I wished I could take you there to et with my mom."
The middle-aged lady looked up. "You know what happened when I opened the portal to the Earth for the first ti, don’t you?"
Erin nodded, he rembered it very clearly. "Of course, that is why I only said I wished I could take you there. Maybe I can bring my parents here instead?
"Chuck it, I don’t want to take the risk."
The middle-aged lady nodded at him.
"Glad you have so sense. Soone very powerful is guarding Earth. They were alerted when I opened the portal the first ti.
"Thankfully it was only you, a weak human who was originally from Earth who was going back.
"This is also why the portal might be working for you after all. I don’t think the Outer Film of this Forbidden Void would allow or the others to leave even if that being on the Earth allowed.
"Don’t take the risk of bringing your parents here, we don’t want to attract any attention."
Erin nodded, he knew all of this. He had a family here, with a few relatives.
They individually might not be as strong as the Eldritch entities who resisted the Cosmic Limit alone, but they had still managed to combine their powers and used a formation to resist the Cosmic Limit.
His family wasn’t that weak. Soone who could go head to head against his mom, or even be stronger, might be guarding the Earth. He couldn’t ss around there.
Eryndor had zero idea how a person of that caliber was able to roam free outside of the Forbidden Voids. Shouldn’t the Cosmic Limit have suppressed them already?
Well, it wasn’t his turn to worry about it. His thoughts were all on a single thing, to et his family on Earth.
"The portal is open, where do I drop you?"
Erin recollected sothing, and answered with a smile.
"I have a few interesting friends on Earth, my younger brother happens to be doing a mission in the team of one of these friends.
"Drop in Polinek city, he is living there right now.
"Maybe I can find a gift for my younger brother there itself."
