Back to the House.
I released a sigh after one hour of meditation... And I only filled my crystals to one fourth... Hmmm, still so slow. I need to refine this mortal body to keep up with my nourished soul power level or else, I can't use the full power of my soul that in it's Median God Class.
Even if we reincarnate, it doesn't mean that the power from the nourished soul is instantaneous to transfer to the mortal body. The mortal body needs to be refined first to keep up with the soul or else it will shatter from the pressure alone of the soul after releasing it in full power from the seal or lock that like a dam for the soul instead of water.
I got up from the bed and cook for our breakfast. Time passes by and I'm done and I saw my mother staring lovingly while sitting and waiting for the food.
"Oh... My 'son' knows how to cook and based on aroma it's still delicious eh?... Now, tell me... Who are you?" But her love changed into fear, anger, and other emotions mixing well inside of her while staring at me.
"... Ma-" I want to deny her and act innocently but I was interrupted by her, smacking the table angrily and spat out at me.
"Don't call me that!... Unless I'm sure you're not a demon or devil possessing my child! You're not fit to call me that!"
Surely, a mother's love can't be fooled once it's real... "... I'm your son- Wait! Let me explain first! How can you understand a thing or two if you don't want to listen to me first? And if I'm really a demon and devil, simple mistake can't be done just like that."
"How can I sure that you're telling a truth! After all, you demons are known well to be mischievous and good at scheming shits against us humans!"
"... Just calm down... Cheryl... If I'm really a hellspawn that you know of, just think it like this... This family will cease to live yesterday for I sensed you that having suspicions already... Like a demon or devil, I will kill you faster and your children in a snap of my finger and don't need to do some schemes under your suspicion nose, right? It will be a pain in the ass, to decrease the suspicions of a mother after all." I stared back calmly at her that soon I can see that she's trembling but still fighting her fear facing the unknown, for her.
I sighed and shrugged. "Just sit down, mother. It's bad for my sisters while you're getting angry at something nonsense at all. And... Come down, Kuya. I know that you're eavesdropping up there..." I looked up to the stairs and soon, my brother slowly descending on the stairs while hiding something at his back. "You don't need that, Kuya..." But I was answered by a self-made dart flying towards my face.
But I easily caught it and stared at it... That made me reminisce about my past life with this thing... I remembered that we play every day with this, made of ballpen and pin for sewing clothes, and drawing a circle mark on the paper and pinned it on one of the pillows, and just one day I hit him with this on his leg... And I remembered how much my brother cursed to heaven and at me nonstop... Hahaha!
Then I looked back up towards them that my mother is sitting now while my brother is standing beside her while giving a hostility towards me and doesn't care that I'm seeing him grasping the self-made darts, openly.
"That's so cruel, brother..."
"If Mama says you're not my brother then you are not at all. Why would I give mercy to those people who want to harm Mama?"
"Even though you don't have the power to protect them?"
"Yes... If I don't have that power, then my life will be compensated by it to protect them, even if it will only give them enough time to run away from the likes of you... Then it's fine." He stared at me with the same fear and panic but still can hold on not to be insane enough to leave alone our mother from the danger...
That's good. I shall teach him, my mother, and soon to be born sisters for how to harness energy then... But...
"All talk, as I'm seeing you trembling right now... I bet you will run away faster than mother in no time in face of danger, no?" I smiled viscously to provoke him more just to meet another three darts specifically aimed at my eyes. I caught them midair and saw mother hugging brother to calm him down, that gnashing his teeth and fire of anger can be seen in his eyes erasing the fear and panic...
Oh... A rash person but still calm under the influence of anger?... Not rushing towards me to fight but through long-distance attack... I guess I need to stop for now... We will be late for school.
"Relax, seeing my brother having a mature side this much. This explanation will be faster or we will be late at school, right mother?" I smiled at them that I didn't receive a reply or response...
"Oh well my dear mother, I'm your future son. And what I mean is~ My soul came from the future and was old enough to be one of the stars in the starry night sky. I was one of those legends and myths that are immortals, gods or deities. Name all you want that can describe me that can live for billions of years. After all, it's still the same." I explained to them slowly but loudly enough to sink in their minds. Then I summoned the four major elemental spirits in the size of my palm, and they appeared before them on the table. "Little darlings, show them your abilities to a minimalistic performance enough to be recognized as a real deal."
"Got it, Master~" They cheered in a synchronized manner. But the first one to perform was the earth spirit, creating a miniature model of mother and brother and put them on the table near them but she keeps her distance not to scare them off. And she gestured them to touch them that I help to be translated. "She wants you both to touch them for realizing that you both are not dreaming or hallucinating. And! Don't worry about the curse thing and shits. She's not a dark spirit but an earth spirit, and I guess you both know the rest, right?"
They hesitated at first but soon they are caressing the miniature and inspecting them in full details, after being satisfied, next to perform is the wind spirit, it's just simple but they already got a gist of her. Seeing her waving her hands, they will feel a cool breeze on that side, and lastly, she made the two spoons float and slowly landed on their palms with the feeling of wind dissipating after landing.
The third spirit to perform is the water spirit. Pointing at the empty glasses, then a sudden water blob appeared or accumulated from the air and slowly filled the two glasses and gestured for them to take a sip. "She wants you both to sip or drink, don't worry about if it's dirty or not. She knows what is dirty from the pollution of the city, and already filtered the water to the cleanest state. After all, she's one of the spirits that have a germophobia."
Mother and brother looked at each other and I heard brother said that he will be the first one to drink to check if it's poisonous, dirty or something that enough to harm our sisters in mother's womb.
"It's... Good? It's far from the taste of tap water and boiled water."
"More like pure water?... Let me, I tasted one once in one of the waterfalls in the Samar when I was a kid..." Then she drinks the water in the glass in front of her in a couple of gulps. "It is..."
"Now, that you know about it, mother. She will fill our drinking containers and you can stop boiling the water from our taps. It's beneficial for all of us and most for our sisters. Then next." I clapped and the female fire spirit bowed before them and looks at me. "Huh? Ah... Wait." I fetch one of the metal bowls and summoned another spirit, the wood spirit.
The wood spirit snaps her finger and summoned a small dry branch from the outside and puts it in the metal bowl. Then the fire spirit gestures an upward motion using her right hand and the dry branch in the bowl caught in a fire.
"You can try to feel the heat of the fire for both of you to make sure that you are not really dreaming right now..." They did what I said and flinch after knowing that the heat is hot enough for them to stay away. "So, all is good now?"
"Not yet."
"Huh?"
"There are so many holes from what you said. What if you're a high ranking hellspawn that has enough power to summon and control them while against their will? Who will say that you're telling the truth and not just acting all this time?"
I was gobsmacked by this mother of mine... *Sigh "If it's not enough then, this will, mother..."
I released my crest floating at my back and let the golden warm light touch their bodies, only to make them more at ease and at peace.
"If I was a Sitan from my past life, or if I didn't take a side with the good ones from my first four past lives, if I didn't create my own crest like this, an angel inside of the golden halo with the excitement of a kid and crazy thoughts that enough to think that I can do immoral things with 'good' territory but was backfired at me in my ninth life and was forced to do things for the good side and reached the highest position that I knew, Bathala...
Then I can't release this type of crest and color with the feeling of the good side that is called 'territory', mother. It's like a place, a real territory for peace, hope, despair, or destruction, and etc... These three things are sculpted, inscribed, merged or whatever you want to call it, to my very own soul the moment how I created the crest and not from the thoughts of how it works...
Kaluwalhatian and other Realms are strict enough to the color codes, crest codes and territory codes that even in the slightest mistake or attempt to fool the Realm itself for changing these three things, it will send that existence to the Samsara Realm or worst, erased... And I was one of those fools, almost discovered and fear to cease to exist, I was forced to live to the good side... Again.
Even though I was once a Bathala, it doesn't mean that I can't kill an innocent existence but it does mean that I can only kill them by using this type of territory. So scheming is the only way if I want to kill an innocent person or other existence if I want it to have a trace of 'bad' territory for me not to be pointed at as the suspect of the crime...
The Realms can trace the things in the universe back to the one who did it and not the mastermind and the Karma will work at that time. But scheming is out of the court to be used as the reason, after all, we are higher beings and not mortals, ignorance and innocence are not bliss but a sin. So the scheme is really the only way to get out of that crime, out of the court judgment, if we want revenge... Then punishments will be fire at once, and no one can escape from it...
You know what I mean, mother... Like the laws of mortals here, right?..." Then I got up from my seat.
"Since I forced to do things for the good side for trillions of trillions of years, it changed my mindset to let go of the past lives that made me the evil one, to take revenge and be an evil avenger for even the slightest mistake towards me...
The only way to change these three things is to reincarnate from the Samsara Realm to reset the soul to a new soul, wiping every memory of the past, if it's me, it will wipe out my nine past lives and will be reborn as a new one. It means that I will restart from the very beginning but I don't like that...
That Realm is the most famous place for the mortals that are reincarnating from, to the newborn baby, away from the past sins, stains and etc. and Karma will be set to 0 again... And four of those souls will likely be those sisters that will be born soon, mother..." I said while walking towards the bathroom after point her womb with my lips.
"The soul will be transferred only, once the baby is born. So, maybe there will be a reincarnator with her past memories too, who knows... Ah, there is a group that consists of three goddesses that knew about it... The Morai, the three weaving goddesses who assign individual destinies to mortals at birth..." And something clicks in my mind. "Oh!~ Speaking of the hot chicks, it will not be a wonder if they weaved my fate to be back in the past in the parallel world of my first life for my tenth reincarnation, huh?... But still, this has a lot of holes to happen... Nah~ Whatever~"
But before I can close the door completely, I added. "Oh, and before I forgot too. Elements are elements, don't be mistaken for what is evil and what is good for them. Even though the dark element is known to be in the dark side, Realms that above us are the only ones who have the final say for who is evil and who is good and not us, mortals... Even we, the higher beings, or for me, once a higher being, is still the same..."
"But... Son!... What I can call you? Even though my mind is telling me that I'm not sure about what you are telling us, but my heart is telling me, have this feeling that you're telling the truth... I want to call you my son..."
"Ah... So, the fear that I saw from your eyes was not the fear for the unknown but fear for your child to be gone forever... Be at ease and you call me all you want, Ma. After all, biologically, mentally and spiritually speaking... You're my mother, one hundred percent." I replied once then poured the water from the tabo on my head.
