Chapter 340 - How it All Began (2) (2/2)

”I was born in a country located in the east, at the same continent of Rabanasi. It was a country by the sea, but more closed off in comparison with Rabanasi who was its close neighbor. It was called the country of Xing.” The Almighty One explained. ”It was a country where magic exists as well, but different from the magic I have bestowed the Atlantians.”

While the Almighty One was telling his story, the scenery in our surroundings changed. It was like we flew eastward in a fast speed, that the scenery blurred. After that, we were hovering above land along the sea shore.

'This must be the country of Xing the Almighty One is speaking of.' I thought.

”The country of Xing was a prosperous one. They were rich with food, both from the sea and the land. They were blessed with the riches that the land could offer like gold, precious stones and such.” The Almighty One continued. ”But the people here were a strict bunch. They are closed from their neighboring countries, not wanting to share with other than themselves.”

”Here, people have black hair and eyes that are slanted. They also have fair complexion, but more on the side of yellowish than our pale white. My birth name was Lang Fan.” The Almighty One said. ”Well I changed my name once I arrived here, so I have no attachment with that name. That is because my childhood was the opposite of a happy one.”

The surroundings zoomed in a specific location. It was a huge architectural building that could be a palace. We were outside a room where people, particularly females come and go with panicked expressions, holding basins of water with cloth and blood. The Almighty One and I were like spectral figures, observing what was happening. I heard someone screaming inside the room. I deduced that someone was giving birth inside.”

”The concubine of the king of this country is about to give birth to his thirteenth child.” The Almighty One said.

”Sir, has his majesty arrived yet?” A woman that looked like a female attendant asked. ”My lady has been asking for him while still in labor.”

”How dare you ask the whereabouts of his majesty?!” The man said with a sharp look, looking at the female attendant. ”His majesty will be here when the time is right.”

”I am sorry, I did not mean it like that.” The female attendant knelt down with her head touching the floor. ”Please forgive this lowly one.”

”Hmp.” The man humped.

Not long, I heard the cry of a baby. The people outside had a sigh of relief.

”His majesty arrives!” Someone called out.

I looked around and saw a man wearing golden robes. He was pacing towards the door with the look of supremacy. All of the people around bowed in his presence.

”Greetings to his majesty. May you live a hundred years.” The people greeted.

”Has she given birth?” The king asked.

”Yes your majesty, I heard a cry just now.” The man from before replied.

”Why hasn't the midwife came out yet?” The king asked.

”I-I am not sure your majesty. Let me take a look.” The man replied. He knocked on the door loud. ”You inside, his majesty is here to see his child.”

Just a few minutes when the doors were opened. I saw what looked like the midwife carrying a baby wrapped in its sheets.

”G-Greetings your majesty. May you live a hundred years.” The midwife greeted. Her face was all pale and looked afraid.

”Well do not just stand there, show the babe to his majesty.” The man said with annoyance.

”Y-Yes… your majesty the lady bore you a son.” The midwife had her arms evidently shaking. She slowly parted the cloth to let the king see the baby.

I was also able to see the baby from where I was standing. The baby had different features from the ones here. He had pale white skin and his hair was platinum blonde nearing silver. And when the baby opened his eyes, he had silver eyes.

”This was the time I was born, a very long time ago.” The Almighty One said with a sad smile.
