2 2. Meeting Irene

(Year X763)

In the centre of a large forest on the outskirts of Ishgar, there is a lake and at the shore of the lake we can see a small baby boy around 2-3 months old wrapped in a soft cloth. The baby has lustrous white hair and a very cute face. He was sleeping peacefully when suddenly he opened his eyes. What comes into view are a beautiful pair of golden coloured eyes.

You guessed it correctly, that's our protagonist.

(Baby's pov)

I opened my eyes and saw trees all around me surrounding a lake. It seems I am in a forest. I tried to move my body and it looks like I am wrapped in a cloth. I can only move my hands and face.

Sigh~, guess I should think about my future a little. According to my wishes I should be near Irene,

as she has not yet met Zeref she should still be in her dragon form so I should try to heal-

"What do we have here?" I heard a feminine voice and looked around myself to find an enormous red coloured western dragon looking at me.

Speak of the devil and the devil is here. Well, in my case, it's a dragon.

There she was, The Scarlet despair or The Queen of dragons or as is her name, The Irene Belserion, in the flesh.

"A child and such a young one? Who could have been heartless enough to abandon him here?" The dragon who I now identified as Irene continued.

"Baby Giggles~" I laughed but what came out were cute baby voices. I continued laughing for some time because it was at this exact moment that I finally accepted that I had truly come into my favourite anime world.

Irene looked at me curiously while I laughed and I raised my right hand towards her face. She leaned down and allowed me to touch her nose all the while looking me in the eyes and giving me what I believe is a comforting smile. It looks like I was right, even after suffering so much,she truly is a kind person. After my hand connected with her face, I closed my eyes and tried to imagine my magic healing her and turning her back to human.

And here it comes. I felt something, a light, a very soothing light travelling through my body and flowing from my arm to her face. I opened my eyes after the feeling vanished only to see Irene's whole body shining while she was looking at me with a shocked gaze and then FLASH~

There was a bright light which forced me to close my eyes and when I opened them, in the place of the dragon was standing a tall, voluptuous scarlet haired woman with a gorgeous face covered in an old one piece dress inspecting herself with teary eyes and then she started crying with visible relief on her face.

'My God, she is even more beautiful in real life. '

After crying for some time, she leaned down a little and picked me in her arms and looked at me with an emotion in her eyes that I had long forgotten,

! Motherly love !

She hugged me tightly and kept muttering "Thank you" while her eyes started moistening again.

We remained in that position for a long time and then she looked at me with a very warm smile and stated "From today, I am your mother. You brought light in my dark light so from today you name is

Elior"

'Elior huh... it's a good name.' I smiled cutely at her and she kissed me on my forehead. Yawn~

I am feeling sleepy now, it comes with being a baby I guess.

"Goodnight my El" and then I feel asleep.
