"Wake up! Dear!"
"Little snow! Wake up boy, otherwise, you are going be late. Today is an important day for you. Don't you want to get an official like your elder sisters and brother? Wake up now, don't be lazy."
Rubbing my eyes, I woke to find my mother sitting beside my bed. Now that I think, today is my fifth birthday, and I am finally going to have a name, an official name like other members of my family. I was seriously waiting for this day for a long time.
I went to the bathroom to finish my daily toiletries and get freshen up. During my bath, I started to recollect everything that I have faced or experience during my growing up in this family.
From early on, I was interested in my surrounding, thus making me a relatively active child and when I learned to walk, I made it very much difficult for my family as I would always want to go outside.
Why do you ask?
Dude! This is the magical world we are speaking about. I wanted to see how much more this world would show me.
It took my whole family to guard me. Initially, it was easy to deceive them but later on my fourth sister took charge of me regarding my welfare, which marked the end of my jolly childhood days. She would look at me for the whole day, sometime she would even eat and sleep with me.
I wonder, didn't she have any other things to do!
Well, many things have passed during these two years. I learned our native Astrian language which was pretty much similar to English from the earth, with some basic differences.
And when I started to talk, I started a barrage of questions on my quest to seek knowledge regarding magic and our present world. I asked for permission to learn magic but it was denied as I was told that before the age of first growth, I would not be allowed to use magic.
If you are confused about the age of first growth, then it would be the age of 10.
Understanding this point, I asked for permission to read books from our family library. At this point, I used a lethal weapon against my mother which is my tears. It was enough to make my mother nervous and she immediately agreed to my proposal to let me enter the library.
I was naturally excited to know about this world and its different cultural wonders. Until now, I understood one thing that in this magic world I would be able to use my past knowledge and experience. Especially, my understanding of basic science and engineering along with the magic knowledge of this world.
I also discovered the amazing use of runic arts, which are applied to provide sustainable magic for a longer duration of time. When I found about this fact, I was too excited and wanted to learn about this amazing form of magic. But again, my mom banned me, saying that I was too young for using or learning runic arts.
Another thing that I was displeased and tried to change would be the matter of food. As a previous successful foodie, I was utterly disgusted by the black bread and bland meat soup. Lack of vegetables was also another reason for my dissatisfaction. Form that moment, I decided to bring the wonderful colors of delicious food in this bland world.
Thinking that I tried to influence my mother using my ultimate weapon, my cute face and puppy eyes but I was utterly defeated by the cold look of my mother.
Urgh! Mothers of all worlds are difficult to handle.
My every attempt to show my brilliance was shot down by my parents, and my other older siblings.
It seems like all my siblings were experts on their own and were called a genius by many people. I need to show my brilliance to my parents who are geniuses on their own.
Man! It's too tiring.
Oh god! Show this little man some way to show off his talents.
Thinking like that I finished my cold bath and prepared myself for attending the formal ceremony of Name Giving. I always wondered why my name was not given by my parents.
Well! It seems all my questions would be answered today. Let's hope for a good name at least.
