As Papa left the hall, only I and that old hog was remaining.
staring at the closed door for some time the old hag stood up and walked towards the pouch that papa left at the table.
[Little Alan you know, witch are said to be most powerful existence among their races, the Elf witches, giant witches, Human witches ... Witches that has control over their every emotion... Witches that live by their bonds... Witches that are Admired for their powers and at the same time feared for their wrath]she brought that pouch in one hand and sat on the sofa near me.
[That is all false. They don't have control over their emotions, they sacrifice their other emotions in exchange for power... they are tied by their own rules... They may be strong but they are outcasted as they are no more part of their own race... I still remember the time when I was still a human with various emotions till time something happens that changed my life...Haha haha haha] old hag was looking completely sad but suddenly she started laughing like crazy and stoped her story in mid-sentence.
This is what happens to whiches when they are slightly overwhelmed by any other emotions at all.
"I pity for you Old Hag," I said in my mind.
But suddenly old hag laugh stopped in mid-sentence and she stared at me as if she saw a ghost.
[ how is this possible, how can a child of your age be able to understand my words... who are you and what have you done to little alan] suddenly whole witch castle starting shaking and mana was surrounded all around the witch which was visible to naked eyes.
"Can't you see I am the one they call Little Alan now," I said directly in my mind, as I knew she could almost hear all the thoughts that I would allow her to hear?
Listening to my voice she came down and her aura subsided and she looked at me intensely with her eyes and murmuring something. but suddenly she vomited a little blood.
"What you old Hag want to see the vulnerable's soul, but I don't think your puny strength could handle such feet so let's just leave at that".
[wh... who are you and why are you in this body of Aria's child]said the Old hag who looked like she had drained herself of a large amount of mana.
"Who was I, is not the important question here, as for why I am like this that even I don't know right now and from the moment I am born into this child's body I am already really confused and already my mind is filled with hundreds of questions," I said.
"But most importantly could you tell me what happened at this child's birth," I asked, as this was the most important question. Because of this child is still me in a different form or is my reincarnation but with my memory still intact then I should continue to live this life but if only my soul has traveled or somehow transported here which I suspect the most then where is the soul of this child, or was he killed due to me, and if I was one to kill him how can I face this Dear mother of mine if all that she did was show me hope and love.
[I don't know exactly what happened but as far as your birth is concerned, it was all normal in beginning but he wasn't born normally like others in 3 seasons rather than that he was actually inside his mother womb for more than 6 seasons, I even once gone to check your mother but she wouldn't even allow me near her and only ask to provide with certain tonics and potions, which is also one of the reasons for the current financial status of you father as it is not easy to buy potions from Which of Greed ha ha ah ah aha ha ha] said old hag followed by her maniacal laugh. these witches are all same, feeling proud whenever they get to brag about their titles.
but ignoring her laughter, I am now even more confused than before. How can a woman carry a child for nearly 2 cycles(1)? And now I am even doubting this childbirth plus adding my soul to mix is a pure headache.
But as I think about it there are two theories that can be formed
"hey old hag stop you laugh and listen I think I know the partial reason or I should say that I have two theories about this child
1st that he has a blessed physique or even a heavens physique which would require more time to grow, which would explain those 6 seasons in the womb" before I can present my reason on the theory the old hag said
[i can say for sure you are just a normal human, at least from outside. I have already scanned your whole physical body, there is nothing special in it, well off-course except you soal which I don't have any idea about] said the old hag ruling out my first case. which made me a little disappointed but at the same time I knew that I could most likely be like that but the next theory...
"well the second case is somewhat dark well how should I put it
let me say directly
I think he died in his mother womb, due to certain causes, but her mother was still not ready to accept that fact, and by doing certain rituals or due to heavens will he was revived but with my soal
or
he died cause of my soul"
as the words left my mind the atmosphere can be felt as if it has been dropped a few degrees. even I knew it was an extreme thought but after ruling out all the cases throughout these days and if I take Old Hags words true then that is the most possible reason I could think of but this reason would involve my mother being a Necromancer. A class of magic that deals with the Dead, but how can someone with such a radiant smile be a Cruel necromancer.
[I don't know who you are, but I do know Who Aria is really, and there isn't even the faintest death energy around her so you don't need to worry,
and you may not be their real son, but you are there hope
and that's the only reason I haven't killed you right here and now.] Said the old hag,
I could clearly see her concern for her mother and papa.
looking back at my own words I faintly smiled I think now I know what to do.
" There is not much to think you old hag, I will become the greatest son that this human world has ever seen. I will make them proud and this life that is given to me either by god or by Devil I will make its full use and never have any regrets in this life"
as soon as I said those words there was a bright light that seemed to have enveloped everything in light.
