Chapter 2 - Pay Attention To Details

'What is going on ?, Where am I ?, and why in the world do i feel so small and warm ?' Arvin thought; otherwise one would become crazy if they where in a situation like this and be cool with it.

'Did I somehow passout and ended up here ? maybe that's what happened' Arvin's thoughts where in a mess.

He was in a daze, unable to think properly this predicament is surely enough to bring some one to existential crisis as the sheer amount of bad luck was enough to bring someone to Cut the thin line between madness but even so he was very unwilling to give in; So he compromised to keep his composure.

'Calm down Arvin think about it what could possibly happen for me to be here ?, wait . . . am i in a hospital or some sorts, Did something happen to me when i clicked that add ?' as he thought about it he began to observe his surroundings keenly.

his eyes widen in shock at the sheer size of the room that his heart began to beat fast.

It took a certain amount of mental strength to adapt towards the unknown as sweat began to trickle from Arvins forehead, this was not something a normal person could handle . . . But Arvin is beyond that as he spent years in crisis and terror to overcome daunting possibilities.

So instead of Imagining multiple scenarios he needed to deduce a proper explanation to adjust himself.

it only took a second to steady his breathing, making his heart slow down.

After he composed himself he looked around but when he did he became even more confused.

'No this place . . this room is to big to be a hospital it's too sparkly and grandiose like some kind of private ward ' the room was colorful by design, it paid attention to detail intricately.

The ceiling was gray like concrete but it's textile look told anyone else that its actually made of wood; there is a golden chandelier with six crystals that acted like a light source placed in the middle of it, gaining Arvins interest thinking whether he was in some kind of hotel instead.

The walls all around looked nearly the same as the ceiling but it gave a more concrete feeling, However the design below gave a contrast of art differing to design as it was most likely made of pure oak wood on the lower half three fourths of the wall like it was meticulously built.

Deers where depicted dancing in a forest at the lower wooden portion of the wall, other details weren't left idly either; there was a large painting to his left next to what was assumed the door of the room being ebony wood; there painted in that canvas was what seemed to be a red hooded figure that looked innocent and sweet but that look just betrayed itself with the large scythe tightly held at her arms resting on its shoulder, While Walking in a forest coloured as red as fall at the middle of the day with a crescent moon diffracted by the sun making it look yellowish drawn at the upper right.

The painting showed its elegance in a deep and delicate color from different shades and palettes, giving off a unnatural vibe of sweet but deadly awe as it mixed with the crimson background of the fall trees combined with the silver taint of the scythes blade; it was the proof on how dedicated the artist was when they were painting it.

'Very inspiring' Arvin thought.

Drawers and Wardrobes made of Birch are placed in the far ends of the room, But the set of utility and garments storage were incomplete as there weren't a single chair nor stool to complement it.

whilst there were what seems to be a open door windows with cross designed metal bars locked with steel rotation handles leading to what is to be a balcony too the right of where Arvin lay down from.

The floor is wooden in texture; not planks or anything that would be made from the saw mill, it was wooden like a trees bark mainly oak wood.

The beds royal aura wasn't left out either it felt cosy and the size is huge, like a king sized bed fitted with a white fur like blanket which covered Arvin from his torso, the feeling was slightly heavy but manageable Arvin did not complain as the room felt as cold as a wine cellar.

Arvin really thought this was a Fancy Hotel this time as there weren't any IV bags or monitors to accompany his beauty sleep, making him vigilant about what really happened to him.

Looking closely around the unfamiliar room he decided to not wait around the bush and call assistance as he thought that there would be someone to nurse him when he was kidnapped here and placed here at least, so he could get an explanation about this . . .

"Bwahhh"

He uttered a sound unman like, no words that where coherent nor comprehensive where babbled by his mouth. He couldn't believe himself spouting nonsense, Arvin now wondered to himself whether he lost the ability to speak British or not as he must have been through an accident causing his throat to be messed up.

Arvin blinked thrice 'did i just make that sound . . . man i sound like a Baby' . . .

"Waaaaahbbbuu" . . .

'I REALLY SOUND LIKE A BABY' Arvin panicked. as he couldn't think of any accident that could cause anything to become like this. He looked at himself from where he lay . . . He was utterly speechless.

'I really am a BABY' Arvin complained. 'What is going on? What happened . . . . . WHAT KIND IF VOoDOO HELL HOLE CONSPIRACY JACK SHIT DID I GET MYSELF INTO THIS TIME' He complained as it wasn't his first time being involved by the occult.

"Bwaaaaaaahhahabha" He screeched as he couldn't fathom this situation anymore to the extent of blaming it on his luck.

feeling miserable and confused he couldn't help but get teary eyed as he contemplated on his life's decisions.

He was about to complain by yelling louder in protest but the door to his right suddenly blew open with a loud bang as an ethereal shadow entered the room suddenly rushed inside towards him stopping right next to his bed at the speed of light.

Arvin fell silent and scared by the speed the came in he felt a little scared but felt warmth from the ethereal shadow soothing his heart.

Looking at that person seriously as he focused his short attention span towards the culprit of intrusion, He blushed hard in awe. as the figure that stood there was a woman a very beautiful one in fact.

She was a beauty sent from heaven but her figure was devilish as hell; her beauty could seduce anyone who would set their gaze upon her.

She has white long hair that was flowing down like silk till it reached the floor like a wedding veil with twin curls going outwards from the side of her face combined with her Olive beige skin tone.

Her expression is showing of a worried look matched with her goddess like features; Looking plump and smooth to the touch like a child yet her cheek bones where giving off an air of maturity and royalty.

Her eyes colors gave off the feeling of serenity like the peace of nature undisturbed as they are as green as grass on a hill side like it has been nourished for a life time looking full off energy.

Opposite to them where a peculiar pair of ears that made Arvin furrow his brows, As they weren't anything similar to what he knows before in biological aspects when he observed them.

They are long and pointy like the tip of an iceberg.

In between those eyes were a long nose bridge and a soft looking Roundish nose, below it was her red cherry lips that curved like a camels bump with a smaller lower lip accompanied by a mole on the lower right of her face.

She wore a silk white robe embroidered with intricate green flowers; the sleeves were long and prim till the wrist customized by the addition of white fur, she had a green sash tightly strapped on her waist and her feet are covered by pointy white shoes that looked comical from a far.

Arvin thought that she was one of Saint Nicholas Elves as she looked like one, If she only was wearing clothes in red he would be laughing his ass off already but he was serious this time.

Everything became silent as she stood there wearily looking at Arvin with coddling warmth.

Her gaze caught Arvin's attention as he looked at her deep in her eyes, making him feel a warm feeling that he has never experienced ever before.

His eyes drifted downwards wanting to look at her whole figure . . . who would have thought . . .

Arvin's blushed even harder 'WOoAAH THO BA - BA nabab BA those Bahugahaba Changas are Melons sized' Arvin said to himself in surprise.

his blush did not escape from the woman's eyes, She chuckled thinking about how funny it was as she broke of their silence.

" *Ara Ara my poor little baby must have been scared when i wasn't around . . Mommy is so sorry for leaving you for second!" She said in a soft a worried tone.

As she said that Arvin was unresponsive as he couldn't even understand what she was saying except for a few words, It was a whole new and different language for him . . . so new yet so familiar even though he has taken some linguistic class he should be able to comprehend a message at least.

then he recognised a word that she said and concluded something in shock. 'She was speaking in some sort of spanish dialect that is hard to understand because off the amount of twisting in her words and different stanzas combined with the tones!'

'Wait did she just say . . . . . . Mom? in Spanish' he exclaimed in his thoughts again.

His line of thinking didn't last long as she confirmed it herself with the next action she did but Arvin didn't want to believe it.

She took him in gently in to her arms and brought Arvin to rest on her shoulders and said things he couldn't fully understand.

"There there my little one you don't have to be afraid Mommy is here te conviertas en que importa te ama no mami" she said to him while patting his back.

Arvin's body felt warmth encompass all over him as she said those words, he couldn't imagine himself having a mom that would whole heartedly care for him as he was an orphan before.

his thoughts began to stray away as she began to patt his head and snuggle on his hair with her nose rubbing it full of happiness; giving off a bubbly feeling in Arvins cold black heart.

'I . . . . She really is my Mother? I have a mom?' Arvin's mind jumbled in hesitation as he thought that he didn't deserve this coddling warmth that he was receiving.

thinking off various possibilities on what was going on his imagination got the best off him as he put up a very dark suggestions that would rack anyone's nerves.

'This isn't my body . . . I'm occupying this body . . . i mean with her ability wouldn't she be able to recognise that I'm not her son or some thing like . . . peer into my soul and check whether it is right or what not?' He thought while his expression slightly darkened.

'Yes maybe that's what happened my soul is currently stuck on this body . . . this . . . this has to be a mistake or something . . . or an illusion' discord thinking this time giving off negative vibes around the room.

Suddenly the woman jolted as if sensing something as she brought Arvin near her face.

'Sh*t i knew it i don't know what's going to happen next' as a premonition rise beginning to think of the endless possibilities that would occur to Arvin as he expressed his thoughts.

She looked at him even more wearliy surprising Arvin in the End as she placed her palm on her forehead to check whether something was wrong.

"Baby what's wrong . . . why are you giving off negative energy today haven't you eaten already a while ago?" the woman said as she puts down her palm worriedly after checking his temperature.

'Wow this woman really pays attention to detail she could be some one who is really perceptive off things' Arvin complimented her wisdom.

". . ." Arvin looked at her again feeling his world crumbling down as she made a clown face joking around.

" . . . Arvin are you okay my baby boy . . . to much milk is bad for you *fufufufu . . . Ahh my goodness you must be a growing boy I'm sure you're hungry again! Awww my baby boy is growing up so fast . . . I mean how could you look at me with such expressiveness" the woman said full of aloofness.

He understood everything she said this time . . . saying his name . . . 'No could i be possibly called Arvin again? . . . Is this bodies name Arvin? or is she refering to me as Arvin in general like she found out about something using her weird Voodoo magic'

"huh why aren't you talking to mommy . . . . . Oops silly me you were just born today morning after all" she said shocking Arvin even more.

'Woman you just gave birth how are you so full off energy . . . were you that exited in seeing me?' Arvin exclaimed.

another voice of a woman echoed in the hall way catching the attention of both mother and child.

"Lady Gwyndelin! Lady Gwyndelin you shouldn't be running around right after giving birth an hour ago! . . ." a young woman with brown hair who wore garments similar to what seemed to be a maid rushed inside the room at the speed of sound looking on what presumed to be Arvins mother now in this unknown world.

"You need some rest and so does Young Master Arvin as well! . . . Aish Well i can't blame you Regal Energy Users for using magic to strengthen yourselves . . . what you did could strain you is what Reg' Nalson said so please take good care of yourself Lady Gwyndelin i know you love to see him right now but please don't use magic in a weakened state" the maid said full of scolding and worry like trying to address a child that what she did was unhealthy.

Gwyndelin pouted in dissatisfaction as she proclaimed "Can't I Atleast see my son it's been soooooo long since then i was so worried when I heard my sons voice with my magic coral that i wanted to rush in myself! what if something bad happened to him why didn't you do anything Annabeth?" Gwyndelin said scolding the maid instead.

Arvin felt Gwyndelin's hold to him shaking, feeling something bad as he felt like she was getting weaker by the minute.

"My apologies my lady . . . i should have not left Young Master alone for a while! The Lord of the house was so busy because he suddenly announced Martial Law and put the state in alarm! and he told me to get something to prepare the houses defensive mechanisms" the maid announced!

"What . . . But what could possibly be so alarming that it could send my love in to a mess?" Gwyndelin said feeling helpless and afraid for her child as there was danger close by.

"Don't worry my Lady; Arwen SwiftBlade was watching over the Young Master at the balcony while I was preparing the Defensive array and Butler Reg' Nalson was monitoring the back garden so I assure you that nothing would happen" Annabeth paused " And besides if there is anyone who would dare to bring harm to the Young Master; Polox would automatically curse them for eternity" Annabeth continued with blood thirsty eyes scaring Arvin's wits.

'I didn' t even see anyone behind the balcony? God is that why it looked so secured right now and before hand?'

Arvin became more wary of the amount of Voodoo powers these people could do . . .

'wait she said that she's my mother ? doesn't that mean that i could do Voodoo too?" Arvin widened his eyes upon the thought of that.

"Good what ever got my husband so alarmed I hope he returns soon . . . do you think . . ." before Gwyndelin could continue she was stopped.

"Madam I'm pretty sure that she isn't behind this . . . After all she wouldn't do anything stupid to get your attention, not by using something harmful at least" Annabeth reassured Gwyndelin as to avoid having negative thoughts.

*Hufff Gwyndelin sighed "Sorry my baby Arvin . . . daddy isn't home for the night I hope you could forgive mommy for being a worry wart . . . But i love you so much that it's hard for me to calm down" Gwyndelin coddled Arvin. as she began to hold him tightly

then she lay herself while holding him in bed as she felt tired all of a sudden.

Arvin felt her energy suffering and he felt bad about it, all he wanted was a explanation but suddenly things turned south so fast that he couldn't even begin to imagine what could happen next as Voodoo Magic' existed in this place.

Arvin realised he is no longer in his world at this point which he still needs to confirm, but everything felt so unreal to him which was beginning too be baffled by this unconditional gesture of concern for him.

he became teary eyed once again as Gwyndelin began to hold him dearly for life.

Gwyndelin responded to his wails as she began to assure him with a hoarse voice as the result of her weakened state " I -Itz okay mmy little one mommy is here for you . . . please don't cry it's not your fault"

He wanted to reject it . . . he doesn't belong here after all he wanted to wake up from this dream or nightmare but every time he blinked nothing would happen.

'Mom . . . you're really my mom right now am i dreaming or something . . .' Arvin cried out.

"If you cry baby I cry please don't cry . . . what did i do wrong" Gwyndelin said as tears began to trickle down to the bed on where she lay next to Arvin.

"I Love you so very much Arvin . . . so don't cry I'm here for you this time . . . this time nothing bad while happen . . . I'll make sure of it in your entire life time" Gwyndelin said full off warmth.

Arvin couldn't believe on what she just said but not only that he could fully understand her this time, some one would love him unconditional like this . . . he wasn't prepared for this it made his heart ache.

He cried and held on to her hands tightly causing Gwyndelin to tear up; as well as the maid standing next to them.

"Arvin as long as I live you will be loved and cared. . . I'll make sure to put up plenty of wards for you so that when you get into trouble you wouldn't have to worry about many things, I will watch you grow up and I will support your every notion, as long as it helps Both Numans and Alvans I will be happy . . . as long as you live long enough for three centuries I will be satisfied as long as time provides for us to spend together . . . I can rest in peace" Gwyndelin said hoarsely as tears began to explode from her eyes.

'Why . . . ' Arvin thought in disdain 'Please pay attention to Detail !'
