in the darkness...
Caelum was confused as to why he had not yet reached heaven or hell, but in his confusion a bright light came from a distance, followed by a calming presence, it was Saraphael "the God of Peace".
Caelum locked eyes with the God of Peace.
"Caelum the Warlord, I am so glad to finally meet you," Saraphael said with his peaceful smile.
"I only heard your name in my mother's stories when I was a child, and I never expected to meet you, the God of Peace, Saraphael," Caelum said.
"First of all, thank you for bringing peace to the land of the gods, Nimvarya, but what you don't know is that your peace does not reach those without power, Caelum," Saraphael said.
"Saraphael, I believe I have freed this continent from oppression, is what you say true?" said Caelum. "Well, I'm sure you would think so, but that's the way it is, Caelum, so I don't think you're quite done yet, Caelum," said Saraphael as he shone a light into Caelum's soul, and that was Caelum's last memory.
After that, Caelum felt his soul slipping away and saw darkness again.
But...
When he could blink his eyes, he saw the light of a house that reminded him of his childhood. The unpainted walls, the thatched roof of a house unsure if the storm would pass, the smell of bread dough filling the room, and yes, Caelum the Warlord was reborn as a baker's son in a remote village far from the imperial capital of the continent of Caeloria.
After the sound of a woman moaning...
"Honey, he's very handsome," the husband said, feeling very happy while shedding tears of happiness, the wife said, "Honey, he's very handsome like you."
"You're right, honey, but I feel he's different from the other babies," said the husband. "I just noticed, honey, he's not crying, what happened, honey?" the wife said to the husband. Both couples were confused, but the obstetrician was even more confused, making a strange face with his mouth wide open.
"I have assisted in the birth of a thousand noble babies with different bodies and talents, but I have never found a baby as calm as him, this is too extraordinary, madam, I am sure he is not an ordinary child," said the doctor, amazed at what he saw. "I don't care about this phenomenon, Doctor, but I hope he grows up to be a healthy child." said the wife.
"Lucian Rayne, Lucian is his name," said the husband. "Lucian is a good name, dear," said the wife.
