2 The Phoenix Rebirth! (2/2)
”Okay Onora, rest and let him rest too he looks sleepy.”
”Okay honey.”
'Dragon and Phoenix Village, my home town and the last known village of direct descendants to the ancient ones. The last time, my birth and existence were frowned upon from both sides within the village. It did not matter that my mother was the daughter of the Village Leader from the Phoenix clan and my Father the son of the High Dragon, the Dragon clan's leader.
All mix breeds were looked down upon as a subcla.s.s of people. My family had to live in a special residential district with other families of mixed relations.h.i.+ps and offsprings. The Vermilion Bird family and the Land Dragon (Wingless Dragons) all lived in this residential area. I was the shame of my grandparents' life… or that was what others would say. My mother and father and grandparents never rejected me for being a Land Dragon then.
It was a shame I couldn't control my anger from the ridicule of others and the curse of having slower development stages of a Beast King compared to a G.o.dbeast. I ma.s.sacred a number of future hopefuls that day and if not for my family I would have been executed on the spot instead of banishment. It was only later that I heard my parents were imprisoned for my crimes and would later be killed in my place. My grandparents did all they could to prevent them from hunting me down.
No matter what, this time I will not be impatient and immature, time has taught me that already. I will strive to change this cla.s.s prejudiced system myself! I'll save my parents and I'll lead a new village where all are equally treated, but to do that I need strength!
… I am now a baby again, but I have my memories of the past and my last moments. Should I thank the Overlord and whoever the Highlord is for aiding this opportunity of my rebirth? I could potentially find 'her' again and protect her properly this time around! I thank the G.o.dbeast King for this miracle and I will not waste it.'
…...
”Onora, are you awake?”
”Yes, what is it?”
”You have to eat so you can feed this little one. He seemed fixated on the ceiling as just before he fell asleep he would just stare at it.”
Knock, Knock!
”Egil, Onora, let us in already.”
”It's our fathers, I'll fetch them while you eat.”
…..
”Egil… which Beast sign did the baby born under?” Egil's father tried to be as politically correct as possible, not wanting to hurt Egil given the sensitivity of the situation.
”Hahaha, Father, it seems we are living in the days of the prophecy! He was born under the White Dragon Phoenix sign!”
”Are you sure?!” Onora's father chimed in at last.
”Yes, father-in-law!”
”That's great news! Quick, bring us to see them!”
”Okay.”
…..
”Onora, you did well my girl! He looks healthy and happy to be here. But what is his name?”
”Thanks, father. His name is. .h.i.ttan.”
”Bold, but befitting. I like it! Come Egil, pa.s.s the child to us!”
”Old Phoenix let me see my grandchild too!”
”Okay, okay, just give me a few more minutes! Hittan do you see that? That old Dragon is already fighting to take you from me. But don't you worry boy our family of 4 will always protect you!”
”Whaaaa, Whaaaa!!!”
”See, you frighten him! Pa.s.s him to me already.”
'd.a.m.n this baby's body for being such a noisy cryer! My grandfathers must have been lonely without their wives. We are able to marry human females or males to ensure the continuation of the clan and species but sadly most human lives are not that long as G.o.dbeast. The humans are a strange set, being nearly 100% compatible with all G.o.dbeast and Beast King species is certainly the reason they are so widely distributed in all of Gilead.
They can give birth to G.o.dbeast and Beast King with a reasonable chance for either. But cross beast relations of two G.o.dbeast always results in a Beast King. Which isn't totally a bad thing, it just means slower development towards a G.o.dbeast form and an element of the unknown. As only after birth will the sign be presented for which beast the child will inherit its form from.
I have to be more obedient this time around towards these two and learn from them.'
”Okay, it's time for his feeding. You all will have enough time with him after he's rested.” Onora stretched her arms out to receive the child as his crying was misinterpreted as hunger.
…...
”Do you see that Hittan? Your grandfathers love you very much. Be sure to be respectful and good towards them.” Onora whispered as she fed Hittan his food.
'I promise, mother, this time will be different! Okay, I think it's to check what I retained from the previous life… What's this? White fire energy… Phoenix and Dragon energy. So that's what affected my last moments and the flash I saw when I was just born. But is this a good thing or just another Beast King form like my Land Dragon previously? The only way to tell is to train and see. But for now… c.r.a.p, I need to take a c.r.a.p! How shameful not being able to control your own bladder and bowels!'
”Whaaaaa, Whaaaa, Whaaaaaa!!!!!”
