Chapter 3 - The child

The man after a few seconds came to his senses and perplexed by what he had just done, crying, he hugged his dead wife and apologized for what he had done. After a while the child began to cry making the father aware of his presence. After removing the sword from his wife's body, he approached him with the sword in his hand. Seeing him lying in the cradle, he raised the sword with the intention of killing him, but at the moment he was going to kill him, the child looked at him and smiled.

Seeing this, the man threw the sword to the ground and knelt in front of the cradle crying, repentant, he withdrew from the room leaving his son there then he went to his studio and continued drinking to forget what he had done. After a while, even more drunk, he returned to the room where his son was. Upon entering he went to the crib where the child was and took him in his arms then left his house and headed into the woods in the middle of the night. After going through the forest with the child in his arms for almost the whole night, he found the place where he had met his now-deceased wife. Upon recognizing the place, he fell to the ground on his knees crying. At that moment, he decided to leave the child for whom he had murdered his wife in that place, leaving him on the ground wrapped in a blanket, walking away from him without looking back, wishing he didn't exist.

The child abandoned in the place where his fathers have met, he kept crying for several hours while the moon crossed the night sky illuminating the boy with its light. However, luckily a farmer was walking at night under the moonlight, the farmer passed near the place where the child was, he has seen a moonlight beam that illuminated the top of the hill causing him to come closer. When he got closer, he saw a blanket from which a slight cry could be heard. The farmer, intrigued by what was on the blanket, unwrapped it and at that moment found a child with white hair, skin like snow, and silver eyes who was crying desperately. The farmer looked around looking for the child's parents but after a while he couldn't see anyone, and he realized that he had been abandoned. Moved by the child after a while he decided to adopt the child and with him in his arms, he went to his house that was in a nearby village.
