Miracle Child, Luke
"Father, when are you going to train me? I'm already 5 years old, you know." A kid having silver hair with the tips being blonde pouted as he asked a silver-haired man who looks to be in his mid 20's.
"Sigh* Just why do you want me to train you? You know I'm enough to protect you, so there's no need to get stronger. We also got enough riches to be settled, and buy you many things. And you're still far too young to train, maybe wait for another few years then I'll train you. There's no need for you to rush as I'm still here to protect you." The man said softly to the kid beside him. The man patted the kid's head ruffling his hair.
The two were currently in a plain full of lush grasses, specifically they were under the shade of a tree. On the distance, there are some sheep's roaming about.
"But...I also want to become strong like you father. I also want to go out to explore the world, enjoying some adventures." The kid replied and looked straight into the man's eyes. The kid's eyes was blazing full of determination.
"..." The man went silent and started back into the kid's eyes and saw the latter's determination. Finally, after a few moments, he sighed. "Alright fine, I'll train you then. We will start tomorrow onwards. But let's just relax for today, okay?"
"Yes, father!" The kid nodded earnestly, his name was Luke which can mean Bringer of Light in Irish.
And so that day passed by with the father and son duo relaxing under the shade of the tree, gully enjoying the fresh breeze of the wind and the warm sunlight.
But what is the identity of the two? Let's go back 5 years in the past to find out.
....
5 years ago, in a seemingly simple looking house in the countryside, a young woman was giving birth. This woman looks to be around in her 20's, having blonde hair with dazzling green eyes. Her looks could be said to be extremely beautiful.
"Aarghh!"
"Push Aria! Push! I can already see the head." The midwife who was the one helping the young woman give birth said.
Besides this young woman, a handsome man with silver hair and eyes held her hand. " Aria, just a little bit more. You can do it, I'm here for you." the man said softly
*Squeeze*
"Aargghh" The young woman gripped the man's hand as she grunted. Her face contorted in pain but she persevered.
Few more hours passed, and finally the child was born. The midwife held the baby and handed it to his mother after cutting off the umbilical cord.
Aria, the woman cuddled the baby in her arms with a warm smile. But then phenomena happened, which greatly surprised the people inside that house.
"Uwaaa!" The baby's cries resounded throughout the surroundings. Then a bright golden light coated the baby as if it was protecting it. Then this light became much brighter as time passed.
The people inside the house felt strangely calm after seeing the light and didn't feel a malice coming from it. When the light touched them, they felt peaceful and relaxed as if they were being embraced by a mother, It felt warm.
Many animals also arrived and surrounded the house. Birds chirped cheerfully while flying around the house. Some wolves even howled loudly, along with other animals. It's as if they were welcoming and celebrating the child's birth.
This phenomena lasted for quite some time before stopping. But the baby was still surrounded by the golden light forming a soft golden glow around the baby.
"Lugh, I think the name Luke suits him, don't you think?" Aria said with a smile.
Lugh, the man earlier also smiled and nodded. "Yes, it suits him very well. Luke, meaning bringer of light."
"A suitable name indeed."
"Mother, thank you for helping Aria give birth. You know the situation right?" Lugh said
"No, I understand very well the situation. His birth is quite special as he was born between you, a god and one of the top 10 at that, as well as Aria, an angel which is also not simple. The other two biblical factions would surely be wary of Luke." The midwife or Eithne, the mother of Lugh said.
"Yes, especially since Luke is a miracle child. But I'll protect them both, but we needed precaution." Lugh nodded,
Aria also nodded, "And it seems, Luke will grow strong in the future. Just by the amount of Holy Power, I can feel inside him."
"Hahaha, looks like I need to train him well." Lugh laughed
.....
And back to the present, the father and son duo still sat under the shade.
"Father, can you tell me about mother?" Luke asked, sadness can be heard in his voice.
After his birth, his mother's health slowly degraded eventually causing her death when Luke was just 2 years old. The cause of it w
as unknown though.
"Sigh...You're mother was a beautiful woman, she was caring, kind, and cheerful. But that was not all, she was also very strong. She was one of the strongest angel and was well respected. Now that I remembered, our first meeting was actually not pleasant. When we met at first, we got into a battle. Of course, I beat her eventually. After that, we eventually became closer to each other and the rest is history." Lugh smiled as he recall their past. Of course, the story he said to Luke was mostly a summary. He left out some things that are not suitable for children.
"Well, since I decided to train you. I'll also explain some things first about some of your powers. From me, you should've gotten part of my authority over the sun and light along with my other ones. You already know this but I'm mainly a god of the sun but I've got other domains too. While you're mother was an angel, so you got an immense amount of holy energy within you. Your reserves right now should be at high class. But that will grow further as you grow up. And since you are my son, you also got my physical strength which means, you've got a strong physical strength. But there's also a power within you that I can only feel but I don't know what it is. Basically, you're training will be extremely difficult. Not only you need to master you're usage of holy power, you also need to learn more." Lugh said before smiling, "But don't worry, I'll help you master them."
"Hehe, Thank you father" Luke smiled brightly in response.
