1 Prologue (2/2)

What if I don't get reborn as a human?!

*crack*

You can't be serious...

My body, as if some primal instinct took over, started to squirm like mad.

It was only now that I could feel that what I am in now is not a human womb or even a womb at all.

What I was in was an...Egg!?

My head started hurting as my body started giving its all to break free from this shell that had imprisoned me for what I believe to be ten-odd days.

*Crack* *Slop*

Phew...finally free. If I had stayed in there for any longer, I would seriously reconsider what I said about not being claustrophobic...

*shhh*

*cough* *cough*

I just felt my lungs extend for the first time...

That hurts a lot!

And the stale air in here doesn't make it any better, It smells like spoiled eggs have been fermenting in here for a while.

Ok, now that I am FINALLY born again, what is the situation?

Feathers? None.

Beak? Nope.

Legs!? Sadly no, but with this, there are only two choices that come to mind.

As I am covered in grey scales that still seem to be hardening I'm confident to say I'm some kind of a reptile.

Either a legless lizard or a snake of some sort.

Let me just use my tail to do a dental check...

Dental conclusion:

IM A SNAKE!!

Thank God, for a moment there I was scared I'd be reborn as a chicken!

And nobody wants to be reborn as a chicken... Well maybe if you get some super strong power as a compensation and begin ruling the world as a 'Morning Announcing Emperor'.

Or not...

Alright, let's scan out my surroundings.

Hmmm... This place, it doesn't look very normal to me.

I am in a wast cave and it seems to be closed off as the only exit seems to be completely buried under the dirt. Besides the 'dirt wall' that is blocking my exit, there are only bare rocks from all six sides of this dome-like cave, with a weird structure in the very middle of the dome.

This structure... It looks beautiful.

It resembles a fountain, but the water inside it is anything but normal.

It gives off a sparkly light, enveloping the ceiling in a light show that can be only said to be from a dream. The refraction of light it gives off of the stalactites and the playfulness of colors and shapes on this ceiling make one question reality, wondering if they got lost in a dream, dreaming of heaven itself.

And the colors... gold, purple, azure and tinges of red, all dance around forming shapes, like a dancing night sky, far away from the city.

*crack*

Yeah, such a beautiful sight... I wish I can stay here for a while to engrave it in my memory...

*crack* *crack* *crack*

While gazing at this heavenly spectacle, I was too out of it to notice the ground around me.

This sound... It sounds familiar where did I hear it...

*crack* *crack* *slop* *crack* *slop*

Oh, how foolish of me, that sounds just how I sounded while breaking out of my... out of my e-egg...

It sounds like trouble!!!
