Somewhere...
"My lord, it seems that a soul from the forgetting world that was supposed to arrive a while back is missing and can't be tracked"
"Oh, is that so, you mean a soul from that world which has no mana or spiritual energy?. It's fine, maybe it was destroyed in the void or something, the path the souls from there take was rather poorly made after all. And it's not like the souls from there are anything special considering their barren world...forget about it, don't even record it.
"As you command my lord!"
....
Back in Aphrica....
"My child!!"
"His soul"
"The heavens have reformed my child's soul!!"
"Thank you heavens, I will never question my wife's beliefs ever again, I will even join her in prayer!"
Igneel said one joyous statement after the other while holding the crying baby. In his unstable state, he hadn't noticed that it was actually a new soul that came from the void and now inhabited his son's body instead of a "healing blessing from the heavens" like he thought.
"But this crying.... Oh my, what's this mana level?!"
As the baby continued to cry none stop, Igneel couldn't help but get worried so used his devine sense to scan the baby's body.
That's when he noticed it, the baby's mana level was already equal to that of a trained 10 year old!.
This might not seem like much, but one has to realise that if a body has more mana than it can handle, it will explode!. And here was a baby only a few weeks old with such a mana level!.
Even more shocking was how the baby's mana seemed to be slowly increasing!. This should have been impossible without actively training it, which obviously the baby wasn't doing.
It was no wonder the baby was crying and even more wondrous that it hadn't already exploded. The not exploding part can likely be accredited to his lineage.
"I have to do something before this situation gets even more out of control, I don't know how much more the baby can take..."
"That's right!, I will place a seal on the baby's mana until he gets a bit older"
Igneel spoke to himself with worry visible in his voice and on his face. After formulating a plan, he takes action.
Dense silver energy starts radiating from his body as he points a finger at the baby's chest area.
...
A few moments ago...
Just as the young man's soul enters the baby's body.
{What's this?, I can feel like I have a body aga... Aghh!!}
Just as the young man was trying to make sense of what was happening and why he felt like he had a body again...which felt unusually weak and tiny too. He was rocked with pain that made him wish he still dead.
He was in so much pain that he failed to realise that the cries he was letting out sounded like a baby's.
Just as the young man was about to go crazy with pain, he felt a frightening yet gentle energy enter his body.
He could perceive that the energy was silver in colour as it wrapped up a sphere in his lower abdomen.
As soon as the silver energy completely covered up his dantian (of course he didn't know that that's what it was yet) the pain started quickly fade away until it was completely gone.
Because of the pain which had attacked him soo suddenly he hadn't looked at the world around him yet. So now finally free from the pain, he opened his eyes.
He was startled to be met by the face of a handsome middle aged man so close to his on. The middle aged man was looking down at him with a visible tender look in his eyes.
{What tha?!}
He couldn't help but think of a situation he wanted no part in for a moment.
"My son... I'm sorry for being such a lousy father and letting you go through all the pain you went through today...both you and your mother".
Luckily the young man, his thoughts were wrong. After hearing the middle aged man speak, he was confused but yet felt a warm feeling go through his heart which he has never felt before.
That's when he noticed it, the reason why barely moving around felt like a chore....he had become a baby!.
{Wtf is this?!, I'm a baby?!, what happened?, what's going on?, Is this a joke?, Am I dreaming?, No, not with that pa....}
The young man's mind was flooded with many unanswered questions. He suddenly found himself feeling unbelievably tired, before he new it, he was asleep. It seems the whole painful ordeal had taken a lot out of him. Also, his consciousness had been active for an unknown time without rest, so it entering sleep mode now that it had become an option again was only natural.
"Sigh, finally my child can rest for a while....wait, his hair?!"
As Igneel looked at the baby as who had dozed off to sleep, he noticed something odd. The child's hair which had been black like Grace's was changing colour at a visible pace. The hair was turning silver, to look like his own hair!.
"How odd...is this because of my energy that I used to seal his mana?"
"Well whatever, I don't see any harm in it..plus Grace had always been so smug about how the baby looked more like her than me...Grace"
As he thought out loud, his thoughts drifted back to his wife, which then promptly made him walk back into the cabin.
....
"So even her soul was damaged huh, I guess she won't be waking up for a while then.....those damned humans!, one day they'll get what they deserve!"
After using his devine sense on Grace like he did their child, Igneel noticed that her soul now had several cracks on it. It was a very troublesome situation. This was because treasures and medicine that could heal soul wounds were hard to find.
And unlike the dantian, outside forces can't do rushly be used to mess with a person's soul. That could lead to more damage if even a minor mistake was made. Not to mention that Igneel didn't have any experience in dealing with souls.
Some of his subordinates might be able to do something but he after the incident, his trust in others basically vanished.
Now all he could do was watch his wife, who can be mistaken for a pale sleeping beauty rest. This is because a soul can naturally heal itself if not completely broken, albeit very slowly.
"Grace, our baby is okay now, all that's left is you, I hope you wake up soon...". With that statement, he placed the sleeping baby next to his mother then sat on a chair while looking at the two most important people in his life.
