2 Chapter 2: Blossomed Doom

In a void that covers Ezekiel.

He opens his heavy eyes just to see a completely vague darkness that even light was not present.

He tried lifting both his poor arms just to fail his command in shame.

He felt like, he is in a very narrow passage that even stretching is not possible.

Suddenly, he felt that he is being pushed into an unknown situation that even his intellect cannot seem to understand.

Enduring it for about 30 minutes just to be surprised that he saw a light! To be more precise, it came from a torch.

Ezekiel felt the cool wind that brushed through his bloodied skin.

A lady started wiping a piece of cloth on him just to clean his disgusting presence.

"'What... is... this..?'" Ezekiel thought in his mind. "'What's... going... on...?'" he added.

Ezekiel tried to open his mouth and speak but unluckily a cry was the only thing he can produce.

"A healthy one, indeed!" the lady said while smiling and wiping the baby's body with a piece of cloth, she directly told it to the woman lying on a shabby bed.

After the lady finished wiping the baby, she gave the baby to the lying woman on the bed and said "You have a baby boy! A very wonderful news for you Mary".

"Thank you for all the things you have done to me, Isabelle" Mary responded while leaving a tear-wetted mark on her cheeks.

"Without your help, I don't know what will be my situation right now, especially with a lowly woman like me" Mary added and she started to shed a tear while carefully embracing her baby boy.

From Isabelle's point of view, she is quite happy to see both the mother and son in their lovely bond.

Isabelle is Mary's childhood friend, unfortunately for Isabelle, she cannot seem to spread her bloodline due to her reproduction abnormalities.

While the mother and baby cried in unison, Isabelle took another clean piece of cloth to clean her childhood friend.

Ezekiel at this time was very confused, he thought a moment ago that they died due to incomprehensible phenomena right in front of them.

He clearly remembered that feeling of disintegration along with his only friend Caesar!

The baby created a louder noise due to a tragedy that he experienced from his past life.

Mary was quite concerned about her baby's behavior.

She tried singing a lullaby song to her baby but it seems it wasn't effective enough unlike to what she imagined.

Mary initiated breastfeeding her baby to stop his crying and it seems breastfeeding is the answer.

"'!?'" Ezekiel thought while being breastfed.

"'So, this silver-colored hair woman is my mother. She's pretty good-looking as my mother. As far as I can remember, her name is Mary, and that lady named Isabelle was her acquaintance or maybe a friend?'" Ezekiel thought while having a hint of tears on his cute little cheeks while being breastfed.

"'In conclusion..., I was reincarnated, right...? Perhaps reincarnation is true!'" Ezekiel added.

"'I don't know If I was reincarnated in a different world, because If I was reincarnated in my past world, I'm pretty sure there's no one using a torch as a medium of light,'" Ezekiel thought.

After thinking of so many thoughts in his little head, he felt that his eyelids are getting heavier as time goes by.

Mary saw her baby boy slowly close his eyes and also decided to do the same until both of them fell asleep.

The next morning, Ezekiel finally woke up because he cannot seem to feel the warmth of his mother.

He looked and searched his surroundings through his little golden green-colored iris eyes but unfortunately, he cannot seem to find his mother.

"'Where's that woman?'" Ezekiel thought.

"'How dare that woman to just leave her son like this? And... I'm starving!'" Ezekiel can only think like this because his hunger finally arises.

*After a minute.

He finally saw his mother who can walk straightly like she did not give birth to him last night!

Ezekiel was dumbfounded by what he saw!

"'How can she was able to take a walk quickly after giving birth to me? Isn't... that... a miracle?'" Ezekiel was really confused and he cannot seem to believe the current situation. It was like, he is daydreaming.

While walking into her son, Mary saw his son with a hint of subtle fear on his face while looking at her.

Mary felt that she needs to explain, and she does not know why she must do it, she can only think that it was her blood connection to her son.

"You know what my lovely baby boy? You don't have a name yet but soon you will be having it! This coming afternoon you will be blessed by the priestess of Life Goddess," Mary said to her baby boy while gently caressing his cute little cheeks.

"And I saw your cute little eyes looking at me earlier, and I think it's because of how can I take a walk immediately after giving birth to you, right?" Mary spoke these words directly at her baby and she can only think that she is getting out of her mind because she is speaking to a newborn baby!

"It's because of healing magic made possible by your aunt Isabelle, she is a priestess of the Life Goddess!" Mary told to her son while gently smiling, she kissed the boy's cheek and finally gave him breastfeeding.

"'Healing Magic? Magic? Like..., spell? Spellcasting?'" Ezekiel thought while being very surprised at what he heard from his mother's mouth.
