Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 – Good Luck

It's alive... ALIIIIIVE.

I always wanted to say that. But enough messing around, let's try to summarize what I discovered about this very crazy and vivid dream I'm having. If I can call it a dream, it feels like I'm in some kind of mental plane or something.

After several tests, I discovered that the colors of this nebula change according to my feelings and emotions. Ranging from green with calm to red with anger. I'm not sure if there are color limitations, but I think the types of feelings are limited because of my situation.

In other words, there is no way to simulate any type of emotion, the nebula only reflects what I am genuinely feeling. And the stronger an emotion, the more vivid and turbulent the nebula becomes. Because of this I nicknamed it the mirror of the soul, but I will continue calling it the nebula.

Another thing I discovered is that on this plane I have no physical form, I am just a small glow in the middle of the nebula, like a star. But I'm definitely the only star, which is a good sign, because definitely no one will be here to spy on me.

The last thing I discovered, and probably the most interesting thing, is that I can very slightly control the movement that the nebula makes. But it requires an enormous effort and I have the impression that this is not a task that a baby should be doing.

I'm 21 years old mentally, maybe that's why I can accomplish this feat, but even so, I had a feeling very similar to putting my hand on ice in the middle of a blizzard. I was forced to stop, otherwise it could have consequences that I don't know if I'm capable of facing at the moment.

I don't know how it was possible, but I had a severe headache after managing to control the nebula very slightly. It felt like my head was splitting and I wasn't even awake I guess.

But now I've definitely woken up. Why?

Because I was forced awake by the sounds of trees breaking and the crashing and shaking of something very, very large falling very close to me. Everything around me shook... Seriously, I may not have the best view because of my baby body, but I can still feel the tremors of footprints and the sound of broken wood.

I don't even want to know what made such a fuss. But I guess I have no choice since the person responsible is walking towards me…

Is this a good time to start crying? Or would praying be better? Will I remain silent? WILL THIS EAT ME?

*Boom* *Boom* Boom*

Are those footprints?? They look like dynamite explosions… Should I cry? Should I be quiet? I do not know what to do…

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

I think my time has come, this is coming my way. And it's strong enough to knock down these trees. Damn baby body, I pissed myself again. And I can't even try to run.

*Boom*

AAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH It's getting closer.

No No No. Go away, please go away.

*Crack* *Crackle* *Boomm*

Shit… Now I'm whatever God wants, I'm going to cry. I have no option other than that. And since I'm really going to die, let it be as soon as possible.

*Buuuuaaaaahhhhhhhhhh*

*Crack* *Track*

My time has come.

But luckily I managed to see whoever was responsible for all this fuss. And man, what a beautiful thing. I even stopped crying because he seems to have noticed me too.

How do I know he noticed me? Easy, he's looking straight at me... IT'S A DRAGON... A GOLDEN DRAGON. Even if the sun is reflecting off the scales and disturbing me, I'm sure of it. It is a gigantic dragon with golden scales.

Aarrgghhh, I can't even move my eyelids properly. I want to see more before he devours me. What a beautiful thing, I'm sure it's a western dragon.

"Is the sun hurting your eyes? Let me help you. I'm sorry if I woke you up with all the noise, I'm a bit clumsy and I didn't know it was just a humanoid baby."

WWWOOOOWWWWW Did he speak? Did he really say it??? But what is this shine?

I can't believe what I'm seeing... The dragon disappeared and in its place a blond Gigachad with golden eyes appeared. I didn't even know this type of eye color was possible.

"Very well, little one, I think it will be less scary this way. Who left you alone here? Who did this to you? This place is very dangerous, I think they abandoned you…"

He picked me up and carried me into the shade again. My eyes stopped hurting, but the golden dragon disappeared. This guy has the same voice as the dragon, could he be the dragon? And why does he look like a magazine model? Couldn't he look like an old man? Why does he have to look so Chadlight?

And I was right when I thought this forest was very sinister. Even he, who is a dragon, thinks this place is dangerous. But what is he doing here? And how did he know I was here? Did he find me by coincidence or did he already know something?

"I see you're a chosen one, boy... It's incredible that you managed to catch my attention even though you were just a few days old. Your luck is truly divine and your destiny will be protected by Aura."

He lifted me up to eye level and smiled. It seems he thinks I'm lucky. He has to be kidding me... But I think he might be right, after all, I was rescued by a dragon. And what is this talk about being chosen? And who is Aura?

"Come on, kid. I know who the perfect person is to adopt a chosen one like you. She'll love it and I bet you'll thank me so much when grows up… Let's go."

Look, that's the light again… Will he turn back into a dragon? Yeah, He turned into a dragon again, and it really is a gigantic dragon. 

He looks like he's going to take me somewhere. As long as he doesn't eat me I think it will be better than staying here in this forest alone.But how is he going to carry me? Ohh, he sang a few words and a kind of bubble was created around me. It seems like this will protect me.

Now the bubble is floating towards his eyes. It looks like I'm going to get stuck between some spiky scales just above the top of his head. Will this work? Won't I fly away?

He sang something again. I think it was a lullaby to put me to sleep, and it's working, working too well. It's good that I'm comfortable, but I wanted to know where we're going...

______________________________________________________________________________________

Warm... what a great blanket, it's fluffy and soft, it must definitely be quite expensive. But why do I feel like I'm lying on something very soft and elastic? And why is there something grabbing me? At least it doesn't hurt me, but I wish I could move my arms a little. And where's that golden dragon?

Wait a minute... Where am I? And why am I feeling trapped? It's all dark. AAHHHHH

Let me out. AAAHHHHH

*Buuaahhhh*

"Shhh, don't cry. It's okay, Apollo. Everything is fine."

Hmmm? Is this a woman's voice? Where did this voice come from? Is she hugging me? Why can't I see anything? Where's uncle dragon? Wasn't he the one taking me somewhere? And why is everything dark?

Heeeyyyyy gets me out of here.

*Buuuaaahhhh*

"Shhh, Okay, okay. You don't want to sleep anymore, darling, I understand. You do not need to cry." Come on, mom will give you your food and then we'll go for a walk."

The woman finally let go of me, but even so everything is still a bit dark, she has a blanket over me. Take it away from me...

She seems to have seen my efforts to remove this blanket and helped me take it off. But I don't know if it was a good idea, the blanket wasn't restricting me, it seems that the blanket that was covering my vision was to protect me from the light.

I AM BLIND.

*BUUUUAAAHHHHHHH*

"I'm sorry, honey, I'm sorry. The sun is very strong, I'm going to close the curtains."

Why the hell is the sun hitting my face so hard? Couldn't you put me in a shadier place? Close those damn windows, woman.

I start to fidget and show my dissatisfaction with grunts and grimaces. I may be a baby, but I'm far from dead. Everyone uses the weapons they have, and a baby's best weapon is crying.

Luckily she noticed and fixed the light. And my vision is starting to recover, slowly but gradually I'm starting to see where I am.

It's a very big room, I have no idea how big it really is because of my distorted sense, but I can tell it's very big. Like the windows look like they're meters away, and they're almost the size of the wall.

Furthermore, the ceiling seems very high indeed and has a very peculiar appearance and has a typical shine of very well waxed white marble. You can see the wealth of details and you can feel the effort that was put in to achieve this result.

And not only that, the wooden details in the corners and on the floor and the huge glass windows on two of the 4 walls of the room show the opulence of this room. Could it be that my luck is really that good and I ended up somewhere very luxurious?

There is also a huge mirror and table with accessories, for women I think, a very luxurious chandelier on the ceiling and the gigantic bed that I am in now. Apart from the several bookshelves that surround the room.

There are a lot of details to pay attention to, but what catches my attention are the books, lots of books. Of all sizes and colors and spread across various places. It looks like the room of a crazy professor or an old book addict with so many books. But at least nothing is messy or dirty.

And I don't think it's a library, after all there is a bed here. And speaking of the bed, it smells good, it's like lavender with the smell of new books. I could smell this smell for hours and I still wouldn't get sick of it.

But I just wanted to know where the woman who was talking to me was.

"I think it's better now, don't you, Apollo? So how about looking here for a bit? Mom is here."

Oohh, it sounds like the voice is coming from behind. But who is she calling Apollo? And who is Mom? Does she think she's my mother? I'll have to take a look to find out who this woman is. I remember my uncle saying something about someone who would like to adopt me, could it be that woman?

Shit, even to move my neck I have to make a dramatic effort. But that won't stop me. Uurrrggghhh Just a little more...

I finally got it, now let's see who she is.

...

She is a GODDESS.
