10 Life Page (1/2)

My fear didn't come to be a reality, my aunt didn't make any move to comment about the fact that I had tried to appraise her. It would seem that she wasn't petty, or maybe there was another reason she'd chosen to not reveal my secret to anyone.

I let out a breath that I hadn't realized I'd been holding. It was a relief that my skill hadn't been exposed.

”Brother, why didn't you tell me that my dear little niece was so adorable, I would have come to visit her sooner,” she laughs softly as she steps forward towards me.

Her body drifts forward like a specter, she moved so soundlessly it was as if she didn't have any mass. It was like her body was a shadow, it was there but there was no substance to it.

”We had no idea where you were sister, the last that we heard from you, you'd been in the territory of the merfolk,” my father says with a small sigh as he looks at his sister.

My aunt arrived in front of me, the closer she got to me the more I realized that she was a bit of a frightening existence. To become a Vessel to a Goddess was no simple feat, it was something that required a special characteristic. If one was successful in becoming the Vessel for a God, they'd be able to exert the force of a God as well.

This would also allow a God or Goddess to take on a physical form in the material realm.

Holding out her hand, she waits for me to reach out and take it. Steeling my nerves, I reach out my hand and place it into hers. Her hand was like ice, it felt like no life was in her flesh. It was as if the feeling of death was slowly creeping into my body.

However, the feeling didn't persist.

”I apologize, I had a calling from the Goddess that I couldn't ignore. It happened so sudden that I couldn't send word to you, to let you know how to contact me,” she says with a slight dip of her head in apology.

”Yet, I think we should be paying more attention to the little one, then my vanishing,” she recovers quickly with a laugh.

I wanted to roll my eyes, this woman was shameless, she's the one that had brought it up. I just shook my head internally at her antics.

”If you'd be so kind my dear to open your life page,” my aunt says to me softly. Her hand was still holding mine, but the frightening chill had lessened.

I look towards my Mother; her emerald eyes are tranquil. She gives me a slight nod of her head as if to reassure me that it was okay to show my life page. I look away from her and duck my head, my hair sliding to cover my face.

A complex emotion was born in my heart at the moment, I was worried about what they'd seen on my life page. I had the title 'Reincarnated Person,' I didn't know how they would take that. I wasn't ready for this sort of trail that had been placed before me.

My mind was unsteady…

'Don't worry about it, trust your family…'

I jerk my head up at the soft sound of a voice. It was nothing more than a whisper, but I was sure that I'd heard it as clear as day.

Was that a God?

Gritting my teeth, I suck in a deep breath through clenched teeth.

”Life Page Open,” I mutter softly.

「Life Page Open! 」

The same clear screen that I had seen before appeared in front of my face. I turn and look at my aunt and an ever-calm smile was still resting on her lips. It was a little unnerving to look at her.

”Now say 'visualize',” she tells me with a nod of her head.

”Visualize!”

「Life Page Visualizing」

With that notification, the page in front of my face transformed from clear to a black screen with golden writing on it. I reach out my hand and touch it; it didn't feel much different but I could tell that others could see the page as well now.

”Perfect my dear, shall we take a look at your life page?” Aunt Sorina says with a small smile on her lips and she peers closer at my page. I felt my throat close as she looks at the page. I can't help but squeeze my eyes shut in anticipation.

As the second's tick by I could feel the bundle of nerves in my stomach winds tighter and tighter in my stomach. Peering an eye open, I look at my aunt's face, but the smile on her lips never wavered in the least.

Her open eye quickly scanned the screen, and when she was done as leans back and raises her hand to pat me on the head. I raise an eyebrow at her and look for any indication of what she might be thinking, for something, anything about what she thought.

However, it seems that my Aunt had a very good poker face because I couldn't read her at all.

”She's indeed your Daughter,” my aunt finally commented as she gives me a small wink. Then she stepped back and my Mother moves in here place to take a look.

Had she not seen the 'reincarnated person' title?!

My Father also moved into place behind my Mother and look at my life page. I suck in short breaths trying to calm down my mind. Salem was the only one that didn't make any move to look at my 'life page.'
