Chereads / The Rogue / Chapter 2 - A second round

Chapter 2 - A second round

The light around Felix faded followed with the rest of the sensations soon he found a giant man holding him like a newborn and speaking a strange language. Felix pointed and screamed but what he heard wasn't his voice but the cry of a baby.

"no no no no dammit!" "it's a fuckin horror movie" Felix struggled to free himself from the giant but alas the man was impossibly powerful his hands rough amd chiseled with the strength of solid stone, Felix thought he was to die a second time in the hands of this beast when he heard a deep laugh roar from the gut of the giant who then spoke in his strange language.

*"He's lively for a newborn, already trying to escape me"* an old woman in a black robe then liberated Felix from his captor *"Keith you brute that's because you are handling him like a fool"* Lilla was a midwife and only thanks to her the child survived his birth but Keith had to retrieve the newborn child himself since her hands were well occupied but he was a hard man being the Captain of the guard and handling children wasn't his strong suit.

Felix now free off the giant was still in a panic because now an old hag held him although with much more care he just wanted to be free and run away from the nest of giants the strange being threw him to "God dammit that asshole is sick second chance my ass what has he done to me!?" *"Lilla please, my boy"* it was such a sweet voice that Felix heard he felt his mind relax and he saw her a raven haired beauty that's figure resembled a petite model of earth.

"her I want to go to her Felix reached out towards the woman, she seems nice give me to her witch" he then saw the hands of an infant and looked at himself realizing he's a baby again looking back towards the woman who he now knew was his mother he called out. "ahhhhhehh" Lilla chuckled at the strange child and handed him to Jean.

*"Feisty and energetic my son you remind me of a small kitten yet you will grow, so you will be called Leo"* Felix wasn't listening to his mother through but instead interested in the old woman who started making hand signs, Leo saw this and noticed her eyes emitted a dim light, the mess of the birthing then collected into a rotating sphere in front of her and with a swish of her other hand it faded to grey and dissapeared into dust.

Dumbstruck Leo stopped moving entirely unable to make sense of what the woman had just done, he was a man of logic and that was something he couldn't explain though science. Jean Leo's mother started to worry at his lack of movement *"Lilla he isn't moving anymore why isn't he moving!"* she spoke in a tone that became more panicked as it went on.

Lilla wasn't worried the child was one of the most peculiar she's delivered coming out swinging but she cast a spell to check his status, Leo then felt a warm comfort embrace him and he started to become drowsy before he fell in asleep he worked in ingrain himself with the hand signs and sensation he felt from the spell.

when he woke up he found himself rolled in a bundle and lay away in a dark wood crib, Leo swamped himself with a thousand way to escape from the child proof prison he's been left in he was about to try some crazy idea when the door creaked open relieving four small fingers which led to a small girl child shyly sneaking towards Leo's crib.

who might you be thought Leo who with an adult mindset simply saw her as a child, the young girl approached him and just watched him. So this is my new baby brother? I can't wait for him to grow old enough to tease me like the other boys in school, Zaida thought. With that she took her finger and poked Leo him his forehead forcefully, Hold up! what was that for!? Leo screamed inwardly. "this is how you treat your baby brother!" yet all his efforts were for naught and all Zaida heard what a strange mix of crying and bubbling but the look on Leo's tiny face showed pure fury that caused her to retract herself from the ball of anger that has manifested.

Zaida then left the room in fear of mother walking and delivering righteous motherly judgment, Leo was not satisfied by her decision to withdraw however and freed his hands from the wrap he'd been imprisoned by waving them wildly trying to use some of the strange witchcraft the hag preformed before but his efforts for that failed as well.
