Chereads / The Song of Ylfa / Chapter 12 - Waking

Chapter 12 - Waking

It's so comfortable, I can just sleep forever. I think to myself stretching before curling back up to sleep. Everything is dark to the point I can't even see myself; it feels warm like lying next to fireplace on a cold night. I wake for very brief moments, the little time I find myself conscious I wonder briefly about what is going on. I seem to know about things but I don't remember having seen these things. I have an understanding of concepts but don't know where I learned it.

Before I have any moment to explore these strange thoughts, I find myself to be exhausted and its back to sleep. I feel as though I have passed lifetimes here in this comfort and yet again another strange concept, time. It's like floating at the edge of my mind as though I see someone peeking at me from around the corner of a hallway. Existing like this feels so troublesome, yet peaceful like a family barbeque. Thinking about the sweet taste of barbeque I find that I'm involuntarily kicking out like a leg spasm.

It's the first time I have thought this long and I am also slightly uncomfortable. Moving around a bit to find a comfier position, maybe if I kick it a few more times it will get comfy again. After a good kick I swear I smell barbeque, such a relaxing feeling and off to sleep again.

As time flows, I guess still unsure of time, I find myself enjoying kicking, like a game I find it's almost like an instant reward system. I give a good kick and shortly after I smell that relaxing smell and go back to sleep. It's much easier than this thinking stuff. Finding my comfy spot again its back to sleep.

That is until now. My floating comfy space drifted away and all I'm left with is this sinking feeling like I'm going to fall. I have been in this comfy space for as long as I can remember why is it leaving me now. Oh, it seems like I found a way out. After struggling as much as I could I finally left, and instantly regretted it.

It is beyond bright giving me a head ache and there seems to be something in my throat. Its freezing out here and I seem to be glowing which makes it brighter. I'm becoming itchy like ants crawling all over my skin. Where did all these giants come from? One of the giants starts poking me and the itchiness seems to gather to those places before slowly going away.

Stop Manhandling Me Giant I try to yell out but Instead I just cough out and start screaming. Guess my body doesn't work. I get wrapped up and handed to another giant who is laying down. I stop screaming and a thought occurs I'm understanding these things I know now. Have I been here before? Where am i? who am I? I think to myself

Suddenly this laying giant lady starts laughing like a lune. Confused I stare at her and my ears seem to twitch forward on the top of my head. I don't remember ears supposed to be on the top of my head confused more now worrying something is wrong. Worrying more and looking around I can make out the details on her face. Oh, she is pretty I think to myself making a little coo sound. Trying to say what's wrong lady I hear myself make a noise between a growl and a yip. I'm definitely broken urg. She says something and I can't quite understand it as she is looking some where else.

When she looks back, I can barely understand what she says "welcome home Ylfa"

Home! I know home. Home means happy, good food, warmth, love. This time a weird happy sounding purring like noise comes out. I seem to get passed around to a couple of giants. I try remembering their faces but it's really hard only really remembering the first one the best. Finally, I'm feeling tired again and fall back asleep.

Lija POV

Be Still my heart. This little cutie is too adorable. As a mother I doubt that this is completely unbiased, but looking around the room I am not the only one entranced here. Let's see she has a head of soft white hair like peach fuzz with the occasional black spot like a newborn puppy. On the top of her head are two large canine like ears and the side of her head where ears normally are is just more fuzzy soft hair.

Her eyes are a bright green like the color of spring though they have a catlike pupil. She also seems to already be getting her teeth in. It is very rare to have an innate bloodline activate like this. I look over and motion the priestess closer afraid to wake the little dumpling.

"do you know her innate bloodline, I am a little worried," I ask the priestess.

"It is the Fenris Bloodline, Divine wolf of ice and devourer of flame." She replies

Shock filled the faces in the room. This bloodline usually only shows up in the wolf clan where many of the beast clan who prefer to live with humans move when they reach the 6th stage achieving human transformation. What is even rarer is for the animal like traits to appear.

"We sealed her cultivation of all three forms as we do with all the children. She is presently at the stone sage body and could have forced her way into the bronze stage at any moment. She also has achieved Nascent soul stage, if she had not been sealed her mind would have been stuffed with one or more lifetimes worth of experience and knowledge with no way to protect herself."

"It seems like she will truly be a genius, but why do you look more worried than me." I ask

"She will experience almost no bottle necks till she tries to reach the upper ranks around tier 7. Because of her bloodline she will not have the opportunity to struggle like others meaning her chances of climbing to the peak are impossible. If possible, find a cultivation method opposite her innate abilities to slow her down giving her a chance to comprehend the wisdom of the world."

Nodding in understanding I turn to my husband and finally notice his leg is missing.

"Who did it?" I ask my voice extremely quiet. My rage forming near tangible shadows crawling up the walls

"Darling calm down now they are all dead, just calm down" fanner says stuttering over himself

Now we are interrupted by a screaming baby as the cloth she's wrapped in gets ripped apart by both her strength and surprisingly sharp nails as she cuts herself lightly. Trying not to over react I hug her while humming into those fluffy ears trying to put her back to sleep. Guess I will beat him later.

"it's ok sweetie mommy has got you." I whisper to her lulling her back to sleep.

Turning over I whisper to Fanner Ill deal with you later.
