"What's" taking it so long?" An young man who seemed to in his early thirties paced black and forth outside the room. He was very good looking. However that Hanson face of his was masked with anxiety.

"I'm worried about my wife," the hansome man replied. W-What if something happens to her and the child's? what should we do mother?"
"Nothing will happen, Aditya,"Emma glared at her son in annoyance. "Get a grip will you?" The handsome man finally calmed down and seat beside his mother.

Inside the delivery room....
"My lady, I can see the baby's head", the midwife said with excitement. "Just a little bit more. Just one more push!"
The beautiful lady lying on the bed, gave a guttural grunt as she obeyed the midwife's pleading. Her long platinum blonde hair stuck to her skin, and her Azure blue eyes were tinged with fatigue. She had been in labor for more than twenty hours, and already given birth to a child nine minute ago so she feeling very weak.
Only her unwavering determination to see her child's kept her sanity from losing control.
After much hardship the baby was finally born to the world.
The midwife held the tow newborn baby in her hands. She checked the gender of two of them and was about to congratulate her lady for giving birth to a boy and a girl when she noticed that something was amiss with the boy when the girl was started to cry.
When, she noticed the newborn's chest didn't rise wich was a clear indication that he is not breathing. She started to feel a bad feeling.
"What's wrong?" The beautiful lady who had just give birth asked. "Did something happen to the my baby's.
Her question brought the midwife out of her daze. She hastily presented the girl to her mother and give a sad look while holding the boy.
"What happened why aren't you giving me that child to me". "Forgive me my lady I'm afraid t-that the boy was was death".
The beautiful lady ignored the midwife and lay down her daughter to the bed very carefully. Then she take her son close to her bosom. All the exhaustion she had felt during her labour were washed away by the happiness of seeing her newborn daughter and sadness of seeing his son lifeless body.
The beautiful lady tears started to fell like rain and channeled her life and death will to her hands.
After casting tow will when she noticed the baby was not moving she started to sobs loudly.

Meanwhile outside the room.....
"Mom it's been twenty hours Annabel entered into labor room, what is going on why aren't they coming out?" Aditya asked his mom anxiously, "it will be ok don't worry," although she side to her son that but she herself was feeling anxious.
When they are talking to each other thay hear the loud sobs of Annabel from the room and look at the door with anxiousness, few minutes later the midwife came out an tell them what happened.

One day later....
The sobs of a young lady permeated the night as she hugged the bundle of cloth, which held her son in place.
Her tears fell like rain, as her husband was seating beside her and look at his son with a sad expression, seeing that their parents and members of their clan looked at them with pity. All of them stood at the river bank, under the light of the rising sun from the east. It was a beautiful dawn, with the stars shining brightly in the west. Yet the young lady sorrowful sobs make this wonderful scenery lose its luster.
Several minutes passed, and the emperor of Anglos patted his wife shoulder.
"I am sorry, annabel,"Aditya said softly. "But we cannot late the water burial. I hope you can understand."
Annabel nodded as the tear's streamed down the side of her face. Aditya sighed as he walked toward her wife carring a basket in his hands.
The young lady then kissed her baby's forehead before placing him inside the basket. She then created a metal plate using her elemental will to carve a name into it.
"Although I wasn't able to give you love and happiness I will not forget to give you a name," Annabel said sadly as she finished writing her son's name using the common language of the universe.
Anant
That was the name that Annabel had given her son.
After placing the metal plate inside the basket. Annabel placed the basket on the river. She gave his son one last glance before finally letting go, then the feeling of extreme tiredness and exhaustion caught her and she fainted.
Soon, the young lady stopped sobbing and collapsed in her mother's arms. Her tears continued to fall, for she knew that when she woke up, she would never see her son ever again.
__________
The basket floated on the Ambri river and was carried away by the river currents, far from the land where it came from.
Several hours passed and the basket had already traveled many miles, unhindered by anyone or anything.
No one pay it too much attention because in this river there live celestial beast who didn't like to shed blood, so they left it alone and minded their own business.
Suddenly, high above the sky, a blue light shines in the heaven, and come toward the basket.
As if it was blessing form the heaven the boy eyelids began to move, few minutes later the boy open his eyes.
"(Why am I still alive?)," The boy thought in his mind, and try to move his body but he can only move his hands "(what the hell why can't I move my body, and why are my hand are like of a baby, did I reincarnated, and why the hell am I middle of the river?)"
