So warm and comfy
Can I stay here ? Probably not…
Since this will take a while, let's think about what happened and how to move forward.
Ha, I'm not even born yet and I'm already thinking about my life's purpose.
Now, what power did he give me again ? Oh yes, fast travel... Basic video game feature, you unlock a checkpoint or an area and you get to teleport there... He said that there would be a specific way to trigger it though. Well I'll see, maybe I can even find some other uses for it.
I was sent to some weird world apparently. Let's hope I don't end up in an apocalypse or during the stone age, that would be the worst .
God I just jinxed myself haven't I?
Anyways, a modern world would be the best. Having a use for my scientific and technical knowledge would be great to live a comfortable life.
Wait, no. I should do more than just think about myself. I will be born into a family, parents that love me and will depend on me when they get older.
Maybe I can even find myself a girlfriend…
Very unlikely.
3D POV :
Inside a stone cold cave, somwhere lost whithin the mountains of a recluse land, strange ticking sounds echoed periodically along the walls on which frost formed and thawed in an endless cycle.
The cave did't seem to be completely natural as sheets or walls of steel protruded from the mass of stone here and there.
Another sign of human involvement or trace were the numerous mural paintings etched and drawn on every surface of this cave illustrating weird humans, mountains and many other primitive shapes.
But darkness shrouded this cave, hiding these archeologically interesting drawings behind a veil of shadow.
But then.
The darkness that creeped along the walls got repelled by a source of light advancing further in the cave, torches, held by a group of humans that entered the room by walking around the rows of protruding stalaktites and stalagmites that formed a bestial jaw like gate.
The man standing in the front rested what looked like a wooden spear with a jagged metal pike rested above, decorated in colorfull feathers and bone like trinkets.
He turned around to face the other humans and lifted his arms, one of which was still holding onto a torch, crackling golden flames that danced around the stale air.
"Today we celebrate the birth of this year's warriors and clansmen, may the gods bless their souls and welcome their arrival to our world. Extinguish your torches and let the gods present their light."
Loud cheering and shouting follow.
The torches were thrown into small mounds of snow and puddles of mountain water, plunging the cave into complete darkness once again.
"Silence. The goddess Gaia will now be opening the gate of earth, letting our fallen tribesmen be reborn anew."
Suddenly, this cave that was dark and sinister lit up completely, a magic light that seemed to have originated from nowhere, letting no shadow remain.
The end of the cave that was previously unseeable because of the darkness revealed a circular metal door inlaid within the floor. It slowly opened from inside out, as cressentmoon-like plates that rotated outwards and revealed a hole seemingly descending into the abyss.
*Click* *Click* *Click*
Slowly rising up from the depths along with the sound of creaking metal came a circular platform on which thirteen pulsating boxes were neatly aligned.
" Our children have arrived, let's celebrate this grand occasion and thank the great gods for their benediction."
Matt POV:
After all this time something is finally happening, 8 months was it ? This seemed to last much longer than a normal pregnancy.
I mean it's hard to keep track of time inside someone's belly. Yet I never felt my mom, gosh I hope she's good looking.
Being good looking would be a great help to whatever I plan to do in the future .
Suddenly the liquid in which I stayed in the past few months drained and… the stomach opened ?
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING ? This isn't how babies are made !
While screaming internally a shadow looms over me and I hear.
"Hello little guy, welcome home."
When I looked up I could see a blond man with grey eyes, his hair and beard were braided in a way that resembles classic Vikings and norse warriors.
Looking closely he was wearing strange armor made out of leather, some type of chainmail and iron plates welded and sawn together.
He lifted me up like simba, giving me a better view of the location I found myself in.
We seemed to be in a cave that is very well lit up, where does the light come from though ?
Dozens of people were staring at me, wearing a similar outfit to the one that is holding me. What I noticed from my angle was that all of them except for one held bows, spears, axes and other primal weapons in their hands.
The only one that didn't was bald and had a big fluffy moustache, he was wearing a white ceremonial garment and tribal ornaments, like a savage priest or a warrior monk.
Please don't let me be born in a weird cult or into some tribe in the stone age, please!
I was put back into my box and transported somewhere, our destination seemed to be far away, so far that I fell asleep on the way.
When I woke up again, I found myself in a crude crib decorated with feathers and dream catchers. After looking around, I could see many other newborns like me sleeping soundly in their own cribs, Let's wish that I'm not to an orphan again.
This will be my home… There are so many questions… I'll solve them after a little nap.
I hope my new life won't be too exhausting.
