Chapter 3: Solia
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh"
"Push one more time, Madam!"
"Agggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh"
In a crude bed made of beast skins lies a gasping woman whose face is pale and full of pain. But despite all this, one cannot deny the beauty of the woman with long silky white hair.
"Aaaagggggggggghhhhhh!!!!"
As the beautiful woman's cry resounded in the whole room, 2 old women are also in sweat and panic as they keep encouraging the woman to keep pushing, saying the pain will soon pass.
"One last push madam!"
"The head's nearly out"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
As hours have gone by; a cry of baby finally resounded in the whole room. The 2 old women finally sigh in relief, the tension in their faces loosen but they did not forget what they're ought to do.
As 2 old women examine the crying baby with a bit of excitement and expectation, the little tiredness in their faces immediately vanished and instead transform into a great euphoria.
"It's a girl, madam! A girl!"
"The one true God has blessed us! Congratulations madam!"
The old nannies eyes are filled with ecstasy and a bit of tears. Muttering 'Thank the one true god' to themselves, as if the baby being a girl is such a serious matter.
They then gently handed the baby to the still weak beautiful woman. The woman's eyes held gentleness and love only mothers could bring in face of their child.
"My baby… my baby…"
The woman whispered weakly as tears flow from her eyes. The baby's cries then got visibly weaker once she was in her mother's arms. A blooming smile then surface in the baby's face and a soft laugh was heard from the baby before yawning and instantly falling asleep.
"Solia. That'll be her name."
"A name derived from the brightest star. I pray to the One True God that may this name will guide her — away from evil and sufferings."
The beautiful woman weakly said before falling asleep with the child in her arms. It was such beautiful moment of a mother and child.
The old nannies were afraid to disturb this peacefulness and thus quietly left the room and inform the good news to the people waiting outside and most importantly, to the priestess.
"Come on, call me mama"
"Say Ma… ma…"
A beautiful woman whose age is 26, urged the white plump baby who is just staring cutely and innocently at her. The beautiful woman has a white silky hair with length that reaches her waist, emerald colored eyes, a sexy body that people won't guess that she has labored 5 months ago but what is the most striking is her outfit.
A sleeved dress made out of beast skin but in spite of this, the dress look so smooth and no discomfort could be seen in the woman's face.
She's still beautiful though. Sun thought as she eyed the woman who's still urging her to say mama with hopeful eyes.
Yes, just like those novels she read. She reincarnated together with memories regarding her past life. But unlike the protagonist in those novels, she didn't receive a golden finger or a system. Nor is she a cold blooded assassin, skilled doctor or adept in agriculture or business.
She's just an ordinary girl who lived her whole life inside a hospital room with novels and internet as her past time, everyday wishing for the pain to end.
This is crazy.
It was when she finally turned a month-old when her memories regarding her past life began to resurface bit by bit. She cried in anguish once she received her memories, as though pouring all her suppress feelings when she was living in the hospital.
Of course no one gave a great care to her outburst because she's just a 'hungry' month-old child.
In the past months, all she can hear are voices talking in language she have no knowledge of and people's faces in colors of black and white. But when she turned 3 month-old she can finally distinguished color and shapes in great distance and so she began surveying the room. Walls are made of strong logs while the floor only has beast skin carpets as covers.
Tables and furnitures made out of woods, beast head decorations in the room, many ornaments made out of beautiful animal feathers and beautifully crafted beast skins used as curtains, clothes, sheets.
At first she concluded that she reincarnated into a primitive era in earth but that thought vanished in her mind as she passed her days as a baby.
She once saw the elderly nannies carry heaps of beast meat that would weigh at least hundred pounds in just an arm.
Some servants even mutter string of words and then an object would fly gently to their desired places.
Magic. She thought fascinatingly.
There happened a day too when a servant's power got out of control. A strong wind similar to a hurricane dance around the room causing the stuffs in the room to get blown or break, but that event didn't even last a minute before dozen of guards storm in the room and caught the panic-stricken servant.
A day after that, she no longer saw the servant. Nobody talked about that event too as if it never happened at all.
Is this still the earth? Definitely not.
This deduction made her not know what to feel. In face of the unknown world, all she felt was fear and uncertainty.
She's not like those protagonists in the novels that would courageously venture the unknown.
Before this, she was just a patient with terminal illness hovering between life and death.
'What to do…' she kept replaying this phrase in her mind.
But before the fear crept into her heart, she suddenly felt a warm and gentle feeling touched her chubby arms. She then saw a tiny golden light floating near her arm.
Prior to the outburst of the servant, she still can't see this golden speck of lights but she can feel it— the warm and gentle entity that surrounds everyone and everything she saw.
Yet, she can now see them physically. The tiny golden light then become a speck of golden light, a dozen or so, hovering gently around her body. As if comforting her and telling her to calm down.
She became enrapture and began to observe them dazedly until she can feel sleepiness encroach her.
The servants arrived at this scene where a baby was sleeping so peacefully, not tainted a bit by the evilness of the outside world. Unbeknownst to them, a shocking ability was gained by this baby at an early age of 3 months.
Seeing the magic particles with her naked eyes.
Going back to the present, Sun is now a 5 month old baby. She still eye her beautiful mother or more specifically to the magic particles around her mother.
She thought that seeing the golden speck of light is just her dream but after that day, she started seeing them around everything and to everyone.
The degree of golden lights would be different with each person and things, just like now. The golden lights around her aren't even tenths of what her mother has around her.
What does these golden specks of light means? She doesn't have a solid knowledge about it but she deduces it's clearly related to magic. Because once a person started chanting, there would be tens or hundreds golden speck of lights rushing towards that person, they are definitely infinite.
"Say. Ma… Ma…"
"Ma…ma"
Since her beautiful mother is trying so hard for the past week, she decided to entertain her and say 'mama' but she didn't know that this simple word would trigger a river of tears in her mother's eyes and as so to the servants around them.
Before she could even call out her second mama, her mother hugged her so tightly with tears still in her face. "My babies… so smart… thank the one true God."
"Thank the one true God"
"Bless us…"
"Bless us."
Praises and gratitude to the one true God sounded from my mother and the servants' mouth.
Why are they overreacting? It's not that of big deal.
Just as she felt that she would lose her breath because of the tight hug, the curtain- that serves as a door- opened and a fit and beautiful man followed by a dense amount of golden lights- which definitely exceeds the amount her mom has- entered the room and behind him followed a delicate and beautiful young boy, age of 7, and of course, also followed by golden lights- just like everyone else.
"Welcome home."
A dazzling smile surfaced across her mother's face as she walked forward in front of the newly entered people.
They both took their turns and kissed her mother's cheek and afterwards, she.
"My child…"
"Sister…"
The fit and beautiful man— whose age is about 30, with oceanic blue eyes that shone in the sun and a long platinum blond hair that reaches over his waist but is tied into a low ponytail.
Her father wore no clothes on his top but instead is filled with multiple ink-like tattoos with each pattern different from one another. From his arms, neck, all over his top and she bet that even his legs are covered with it too, if no trousers are on his legs.
She didn't know if these kinds of tattoos is a tradition to all adult males here or if it's just her father's particular hobby since she haven't seen any other people aside from her family and the servants that would occasionally clean the room.
Her father also wore several ornaments-- an earring, a necklace, bracelet and an anklet all made out of large and tiny beast tooth.
Her older brother—Tephyrus, on the other hand, is very 'pure' compared to her father but similar to her father, he also got the platinum blond hair but got the color of his eyes to their mother- emerald. Her brother's hair is short- the typical length for a growing boy- and his body still got no tattoos but held no clothes either. Only trousers at the bottom and ornaments uniform to their father.
Such a young and beautiful family, she bet that she'd grow a beauty too- well she hoped or give her an average face, at least. No one wanted to be born ugly, she defended.
"My husband, our child finally said mama"
Her father's and brother's faces visibly transformed into joy as they scramble to take Solia from her mother. But of course, their father is the one who got to hold her.
"We thought she's an idiot. Thank the one true god, she's not."
"Barely crying since her birth, sleeping in time, not throwing tantrums and now, finally uttering a word just after 5 months. Although learning a word in 5 months is a bit late, it's still good that she isn't retarded."
"Thank the one true god"
"Thank the one true god"
"Now say pa…pa…"
"Say te…phy…rus"
"pa…pa"
"te…phy…rus"
Although the two males of the family kept talking to her, she can't really hear any of it after those earlier statements.
An idiot, she is?
Retarded, she is?
Unacceptable!!!
That explains her mother and the servant's tears and overreaction earlier! It's the joy and the relief that she isn't an idiot after all. Isn't the 5 month old baby is the average standard where babies finally utter mama or papa, it's even a bit earlier and could be considered as advance to some parents!
Poor Solia measures everything with her earthly standard, unknown to her, babies in her new world should begin to say mama or papa at 3 month old and phrases at 5 to 8 then sentences when a year old. These standard are only average, geniuses in this new world could spout sentences when their still a 5 month old.
These standards then lead her mother and father to conclude that she is an idiot.
The beautiful family laughed harmoniously while the servants politely exited the room.
In this world, she has a family that loves and cares for her. A mother, a father and an older brother.
A nice way to start her new life in this new world. She guessed she have to thank whoever God sent her here.
Solia thought as she yawned and her eyes drooping.

burntpotato The story would be slow-paced with occasional time skip. Romance? Maybe after the volume 1.
Thanks!
