' I feel nothing more than pain , despair and agony. I'm going to make father pay for what he has done. With every turn I make, the pain intensifies, opening my eyes made matters worse, because by the time I realized where I was, my anger rose. I was in a cage, chains around my neck wrist, and ankle', the little boy lamented in his thoughts. He looked around and tried to figure out what was going on. Beside him was a woman with ears and a tail, opposite him was a giant Phoenix . Around him were people and animals in different ways. Then he finally realized, "I am in a Fantasy world, the hell! ". The lady beside him began to talk,
" I have never heard you speak before ". He kept an extremely confused look on his face and immediately ignored her.
' Stranger danger. If I'm in a fantasy world that means I don't speak their language. What a shame', he thought rubbing his hand on chin. 'Something is quite off '. He looked around for the thing that made him feel that way. Then he realized, ' My hands are small. My feets too. Am I a child? Arghhh! Why? Now I am a child that is also a slave. How beautiful of the Gods. What would have gone wrong if a lived a common or noble life, it had to be slavery'.
As he continued to lament to himself the large gate opened and everywhere was pin drop silence. The light that shone showed that there was freedom. All he wanted was to go. He began to scream, "Let me out of here". The merchant didn't even understand what the boy said and yelled, " Shut up, you imbecile".
"You don't have to be so rude, let the poor boy be", the noble lady addressed the merchant. They walked around looking at all the slaves. The noble lady stopped in front of the little boys cage, " Can I buy this slave instead? ", she asked. The man was quite shocked at her choice.
" Madam, this slave is quite rebellious. He is the perfect definition of the walking dead. I really don't advice you to buy this slave", "Well I like him". Obeying her wishes, he opened the gates of the cage and unlocked the chains. The little boy stepped out slowly, " I am free, I'm finally fr...ee", she murmured before falling flat on the ground. The noble lady payed and carried the boy on her back, " I'm taking you home".

' The bed is comfy, the big duvet made me warm. I've never felt this comfortable in a very long time' , the boy thought as he rolled on the bed countless times. " It seems you are awake. How was the long rest? ", the noble lady asked bringing soup for him. The boy nodded at the site of the food, icing" Thank you for the food ", the clapped his hands together and prayed.
The noble lady was confused at his speaking. " My name is Aadya Austin, what is yours? ".
That's when the little boy came to the realization that she couldn't understand what he was saying. ' We have different languages as humans '. As this thought went wild in his mind, he looked up at Aadya and then a memory hit him. With a soft voice he called out the name
" Rei"
' I almost thought you forgot the purpose you came here for', a voice in his head spoke. Then it came to his mind... Why he was here.
.....
"Why do you carry such a sorrowful heart. What do you wish for to stay with you? ", A white figure asked with concern. His body as Ren was glowing.
" Am I a spirit? Have I already died? Where is Rei? ", he bombarded questions as he looked for her desperately. " Do you wish for her to stay with you? ", the figure asked. " Of course. What is my life without my sister in it? She is my world. I beg that you return her to me" , he knelt before the figure.
"Why do you seek her so? ", he asked " I promised her the world. I told her I would make her happy and I didn't do it. I want to fulfill my promise, please help me", " Is that all you wish for? ", " YES"
The figure accepted his wishes and told him what to do when he gets there.
"So all I have to do is protect her, right? And anytime I see the body that holds her soul that is when I'll remember all this and anything I doing should always remember never to tell her that she is Rei until our happy ending. If that's all I'm ready to go".
"The life you would love now, your name is Cid and you are 10 years old. Good luck" I'll
.....
" I remember ", the little boy yelled out. Aadya looked at him surprised. " What did you remember? ". Cid looked at her weirdly. He noticed that he could finally understand her. He could hear every word she said correctly. 'Thank you God'. " My name is Cid", he introduced. "I'm so happy that I can understand you now. It's so wonderful to know what you are saying", she hugged him tightly. Cid embraced her back .
Tears welled up in his eyes.
'I can't believe she's back in my arms again'
She showed him round the castle and introduced him to all the maids.
" This is my son , Cid Austin. ". This announcement shocked Cid. He never knew from slave he would be the son of nobility.
' God I do not know how to thank you for my second chance'. Cid held unto her hand tighter and took a bow in front of the maids. 'I won't waste this chance to be at my sister's side'.
*******
"Cid, Cid, dinner is ready you can stop your training", Aadya called out. She stared as he swung his sword intensely, the movement of his body, his focus, the way each sweat dropped from his body and his flow of magic. She watched it all and couldn't avert her gaze. She felt so proud to have raised such a nice son.
" Cid that's enough ", she walked to him and held the sharp edge of his sword. Seeing this action, he immediately dropped the sword in the scabbard. " Mother, must you always threaten me with your life. It's quite unfair you know. Aadya laughed, "it's the only way I can stop you from working, besides you need nutrition to survive you know".
Six years had passed with a good life. Cid became sixteen and was ready to take over the Austins, a group of nobles that bear the surname. Aadya has been the head for years and was threatened that if an heir was not born the title would be given to her eldest brother. This pressure made her buy Cid from the slave market. Life was good and nothing stopped the Mother-son relationship.
As beautiful as it was people still planned to make it perish. How cruel could the world be?
.....
"Have you decided on what we should do about Aadya's heir, the celebration of his title is on his birthday party. What do we do ?", a man asked as he played with the pen in front of him.
" And what is your purpose for this useless question, we simply kill them. Is it that hard?". The man that responded was someone close to Aadya. "We simply plan wisely and wait for the action to occur not ponder on your stupidity, Alex", he continued.
" So we will send our troops to attack at the right time and once this happen we must all flee as though we know not about this incident ", another man lectured. " Don't lecture us, tell it to Alex, he's the dumb one".
And with that, he left the meeting.
"I'm not the dumb one", Alex yelled as he watched the other man leave.
