Chereads / Fat Ugly Bastard: The Boy Of Hope / Prologue: Mother And Son

Prologue: Mother And Son

Just as the Pope was telling the village about the blood moon, Damian could be seen sitting in a carriage with a robe that covered his eyes.

After 5 days of constantly searching for information about his mother, he finally found where she was living.

In a rather small farm where hundreds of goats were running and eating, there was a old woman who feeds the goats all by herself.

Damian: 'M...mother."

Even tho the woman was old and looked nothing like Damian, thanks to his eyes he could see that in fact this woman was the one that given birth to him.

Just as Teresa was feeding the goats she suddenly saw the tall crying man in front of her.

She wondered what a clean and well-fed person wanted from her.

Damian: "I... My name is..."

Damian was speechless he couldn't find words to tell his mother that his son was right in front of her.

Right then he removed his coat, showing his face, even though he could find a single word his eyes told the mother the truth of his birth.

Teresa: "You are Damian, right?"

Asked the old woman with tears in her eyes.

Finally he was able to meet his only parent, finall, someone cried for him, he experienced something he never experienced before, something mystical and strange. That was unconditional love, he didn't need to prove himself or do some sort of task to receive affection.

Damian couldn't hold his feelings and hugged his mother with tears in his eyes and the desire to never let go of this woman.

After the reunion of the mother and the son, Teresa invited Damian to her house and cook for her son for the first time.

In their Dinner Teresa explained that when she was younger she was foolish and stupid for leaving her son to the goodwill of the Pope.

Damian to explained how he received good home and friends from that village.

Obviously he lied, everyone in the village either feared his strength or though of him as a god and couldn't possibly allow themselves to be friend with someone like him. But he couldn't tell this to his mother because of fear that she might worry about him.

And so the wide and long talk between the mother and the son continued until the sky turned dark.

Damian was placed in a guest room by her mother.

The next day Damian and Teresa got up and made their way into the village.

Damian wanted to buy her the most well-cooked food and the most expensive clothes and things that can help her farm in the best way.

It was like a dream he can spend time with his family and enjoy the day with his mother and do it forever.

But unfortunately every dream end no matter what. And for Damian this dream would end pretty quickly.

"EVERYONE SAVE YOURSELF THE BLOOD MOON IS COMING."

Said a homeless-looking man.

Damian: "What is this guy sa-"

Just as Damian was about to say something a strange phenomenon was happening.

The sky turned dark and even though it was in the middle of the day, there was a full moon taking place.

After a couple of of seconds the moon turned red and the sky cracked as if a broken glass and reviewed a big eye with a big mouth with shark like death in the middle of the eye.
