As Ethan slowly opened his eyes, the dim light of the room greeted him, casting a warm glow over the medieval-style furnishings that surrounded him. His gaze drifted across the intricately carved wooden furniture, the plush tapestries adorning the walls, and the flickering flames of the ornate candelabras.
A woman with long, wavy chestnut brown hair stood beside him, her eyes filled with tears as she lifted him gently. Ethan took in her striking emerald green eyes, framed by long, dark lashes, and her slender yet curvaceous figure. He couldn't help but wonder if this was his mother in this new world, a pang of longing stirring within him as memories of his previous life surfaced.
The woman's tears fell freely as she held Ethan close, her voice trembling with emotion. "Oh, Ethan, my dear son, you're finally awake," she whispered, her words choked with relief and joy.
Ethan's heart swelled with a mixture of confusion and comfort. Despite the unfamiliarity of his surroundings, he couldn't deny the sense of belonging he felt in the woman's embrace.
Before Ethan could gather his thoughts, a man in his early thirties entered the room, his presence commanding attention with his strikingly handsome features and confident stance. His dark, windswept hair framed a face adorned with piercing blue eyes and chiseled features. Dressed in luxurious attire, he exuded an air of authority and refinement.
Behind the man stood two women, each radiating their own unique aura. The first, petite and slender, possessed long flowing brunette hair with auburn highlights that shimmered in the soft light. Her hazel eyes sparkled with mischief, and her fair skin bore a few freckles across her nose, adding to her charm. Clad in stylishly casual clothing with a bohemian flair, she exuded an effortless elegance.
The second woman stood tall and athletic, her strong build exuding confidence and strength. With short, pixie-cut black hair and piercing blue eyes that conveyed intelligence and intensity, she commanded attention wherever she went. Her olive skin glowed with vitality, and her expressive features spoke of determination and resilience.
As the man strode into the room, he greeted the woman with a warm smile, addressing her by her name, Elara.To which the lady looks at the man with a smile " Marcus ".
Congratulations, my lord and lady, on the safe arrival of your son," Lady Seraphina said, her voice filled with warmth. "He is truly a miracle, and I have no doubt that he will grow up to be a great leader like his parents."
Lady Cassandra nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on Ethan with a sense of awe. "Indeed, Ethan is a remarkable child. I look forward to seeing what great deeds he will accomplish in the years to come."
As Lord Marcus and Lady Elara exchanged words of relief and joy, they briefly discussed Ethan's condition and their hopes for his future. Lady Seraphina and Lady Cassandra listened intently, their expressions filled with concern and determination.
Lord Marcus turned to Lady Elara, his voice filled with gratitude and pride. "My love, our son has shown remarkable strength and resilience. He truly is a blessing to our family and to the realm of Eldoria."
As Ethan lay nestled in his mother's arms, the warmth of her embrace soothing his tired body, he couldn't help but marvel at the love and strength emanating from his parents. Their whispered words of affection and encouragement filled him with a sense of security and belonging, easing the uncertainty that lingered in his mind.
But as exhaustion and hunger began to take their toll, Ethan's contentment gave way to cries of discomfort. His mother, ever attentive, quickly cradled him close and offered him nourishment from her own body. With each gentle suckle, Ethan felt a wave of comfort wash over him, the rhythmic motion lulling him into a state of peaceful bliss.
Once sated, Ethan nestled against his mother's chest, his eyelids growing heavy with drowsiness. As sleep began to claim him, a sudden glow caught his attention, drawing his gaze towards a screen that materialized before him. A notification blinked insistently, its message beckoning Ethan with tantalizing possibilities.
With a yawn, Ethan's curiosity piqued, his exhaustion momentarily forgotten as he reached out to touch the screen. As his tiny fingers made contact, the notification expanded, revealing a world of wonder and adventure awaiting him.
With a sense of anticipation fluttering in his chest, Ethan closed his eyes, allowing the soothing lullaby of his mother's heartbeat to guide him into the realm of dreams. But even as sleep claimed him, visions of magical landscapes and heroic quests danced through his mind, filling him with excitement for the journey that lay ahead.
