I awoke later at night as I could not sleep. There are just too many things in my mind right now.
When Vi woke up, she started crying. I embraced her to try to comfort her as I pat her back to calm her down. My parents awoke because of this, confused on what made their daughter cry.
"Whats wrong Valeria? What made you cry?" My mom asked.
Vi cried harder after hearing the question. She is too distraught to speak.
"I think this is the best time to tell them the truth Vi." I told her telepathically.
Vi calmed down, as I looked at my parents seriously and sat facing them on the bed. Here goes, there is no turning back after this.
I looked at my parents, opened my mouth and spoke." "Hello mother and father. You may be surprised why I'm speaking like this, let me explain." I said.
Mother and Father was shocked hearing me speak so well as a one year old kid. Well, a one and a half year old kid.
I explained to them the situation, that I am what you call a reincarnator, a hero from another world that died and is tasked by God to spread the good news of salvation to this world, to proclaim His Holy Name, to spread love and peace. I told them that all the things Vi said to them was actually my idea, to make this town better, in hopes that people would turn to God and repent and to make them allies against evil.
This all changed when I've just found out awhile ago that God's Holy name was changed from Alpha to Beta in this planet, to the name of the Adversary. This is a great blasphemy and heresy, one that should not be tolerated and exposed, so that Gods Holy Name would be exalted once more.
Since Vi and I are just kids, I've made a gamble to expose myself to them so I can tell them the truth and make them my allies, to build an army for God, to combat evil and drive their influence away from this planet.
My parents still could not believe their eyes on what they are hearing.
"This must be one big joke. God's name is really Alpha? We were lied to all along! I don't believe it!" Father hit his hands on his legs, furious.
He then look at me, worried. "How can we be sure you are telling the truth and not lying? What is the proof that you are really a servant of God and not the Evil One?"
"Hmm, if the Holy Scriptures on this planet is still the same as before and not changed, it will say evil cannot do good things. So watch out those who profess to do good but does otherwise." I said calmly.
That's one way to know if a person is aligned with good or not. Check if their words and actions align. If they do not, the person is most likely influenced by evil. An evil person will fail to do good deeds even if they try to. So, if they say anything good, check out their works. For by their works you shall now them, for by their works you shall know them for who they really are." I said.
The last thing is, their smell. Evil people have this smell as if they are rotting and decaying from the inside. So, if you find a person that tells a lie, does evil, can't do anything good even if their life depended on it and they smells like a dead fish, then there is a very big chance that this person is working for the evil one or under him."
"Well, I suppose your right. It is written in the Holy Scriptures that evil cannot do good and evil things are exposed for later on for who they really are. Still, I am still not fully convinced that you are from God. Is there any other ways for you to prove that you really are God's messenger or disciple?" Father said curiously.
"I cannot give you any other hard proofs right now, as I am still in a child's body and I don't have any holy spells with me that would prove that I am really from the One true God Alpha; as only Holy beings can cast Holy Spells. Those who are not holy, would not be able to do so. That is why I asked Vi to study in the adventurers guild, hoping that she would learn to use holy spells that I can be used to expose and banish evil." I said.
"How did the name of God get's changed from Alpha to Beta by the way?" I asked.
Father explained, "As far as I can remember, during the time of grandfather, someone from the church made a prophecy that holy scrolls would be found in the ruins exposing a great lie. This person was one of the top leaders of the church at the time, so they took his words very seriously.
They sent expeditions yearly to the various ruins and later on, found some scrolls saying that God's name is Beta instead of Alpha."
"People were skeptical about it, so they asked leading archeologists, historians, linguists to verify the authenticity of the supposedly Holy Scrolls. "
"They verified the scrolls as authentic, that they are ancient and are really from the ruins." These group then combined to form the group Keepers of Records, the leading group that studies old records found in ruins, funded by the church and government.
So then the people then accepted the new truth, that God's name is Beta instead of Alpha." My father replied. "Some still resisted the change, they still believe that the scroll in not the truth and is sent by the evil one."
"The church then became divided into two, the one who worships Beta and the other one who worships Alpha." Father continued.
"So that's how they were able to change the name of God from Alpha to Beta! Very clever of them." I mused.
I told my parents that we would have to investigate the authenticity of these documents, check the historical records, the history of the priest who made the prophecy and check the ruins for more information about them. We would also need to learn to cast Holy Magic, magic from God that banishes evil and the undead. That would be the best way to expose them I said.
Father and mother then looked at me funnily. They still can't believe that I am another person in their childs body. I told them that that this really happens from time to time and more common than they think. In my world, there are records of children being born with complete history of the past or sometimes even other worlds. These people usually becomes legends and heroes again, as they would use their previous knowledge to shape the history of the world but sometimes, they just ignore their past and just live as normally as possible and avoid tampering with the current reality that they are in.
They hugged and kissed both me and my sister , which I find a little embarrassing, considering that I'm an old dude in a young kids body. But they didn't really seem to care, for them I am their child, and it's all that really matters. They have chosen to believe in me based from the recent things that I have currently done for them.
