Chapter 14: The Root Chakra

Kiel had a very long dream. He dreamed that he had become a small seed, buried in the ground. He had no eyes or ears and had no way of knowing what was happening around him, but he could still feel something happening. Everything around him felt like a stranger. This finding just made him restless and unsettled. Even his thick seed coat seemed to him like a prison.

No one could see him, nor would anyone care about him. No matter how much he shouted or struggled, his voice would just resound in his mind. No one would come for his rescue here . Kiel felt incomparably lonely.

He was now a mixture of many negative feelings. Insecurity because of his condition, and fearful of the unknown. He would sometimes feel anxiety about what would happen to him; sometimes resentment for the world for giving it such a destiny; but most of all, frustration that he could do nothing to change his current state.

All these feelings jumbled inside his tiny self in such an intense manner that he started to go crazy. His emotions became so intense that he even started forgetting about everything else. But he didn't want to become crazy. So he just made friends with those feelings. By doing this, he could at least alleviate his loneliness and fear a little.

Thus the feelings started to become his company in his lonely and inconsequential life. They had now followed him for such a long time that he started growing accustomed to them and finding solace in them. He even started thinking that he would spend his entirety like this. He found peace thinking that nothing could harm him, as his thick seed coat would always protect him.

One day as he was feeling happy to be fearful… a raindrop touched him. Startled as he tried to perceive it, a pleasant and tranquil feeling overcame his very self. An otherworldly tenderness slowly wrapped him up to soothe his worries.

Overwhelmed by the sudden pleasant sensation, he wanted to know what this unknown feeling was and where did he come from??

As he focused on the sensation, the moisture seeped to his very soul and he felt a small movement in himself. He felt a thumping sound inside him, like something inside him came into being. It felt like being reborn. As he looked at himself he saw himself glowing in dull red hue.

The dull red glow slowly started turning more and more into a marron like colour, as more of the unknown moisture seeped into him. There was also a familiar feeling coming from the ground around him, who seemed a stranger mere moments ago.

As the familiar feeling increased, with it increased his own very pressure. He felt himself turning heavy, an unknown energy welling inside him.

The seed didn't know who it was, where it was or how it came into being, but it knew one thing. The red glow had followed him all its life.

Unknown as he began to ponder why he was feeling such; as his whole life, the only things that accompanied him were loneliness and fear, he felt a peculiar sensation for the first time.

Something which was different from his usual negativity, this sensation filled him with positivity. He felt for the very first time Stability!!

A gentle shelter that could protect him from his own trauma- courage!! Not the overcoming of fear and primal feeling but the acceptance of it. That how the sensation felt. Now he could think as a living being.

So he finally knew his answer. The red glow was his fear itself!!! It was so deep within him that all he could see was blackness. But now that he accepted his very own fear as a part of him, he could see it. His own self… but with acceptance.

And this feeling manifested himself in front of him. He felt growth in him. Even the thick armour of his seed coat that always imprisoned it, broke apart. What came out was a fresh little sapling. The once stranger earth now gave way to him like it cared for him, and he moved up before finally breaking the dome of the soil and viewing the deep blue sky for the very first time.

Even roots started to grow from him and they continued deep underground, binding him now to the once foreign earth.

He transformed slowly into a little young sapling, taking warmth from the earth, growing more roots and little branches, feeling the earth... etc. He... felt secure.

And today he saw himself having a little red bud on his main young stem. The bud seemed so full of security and stability to him that the young sapling could feel a strong attraction to it. He could feel the little bud balancing his own existence.

Unknown to the little sapling it as the very first of his kind in this world, and would one day bring the world its greatest blessing or maybe even its worst calamity. But that is a thing for the future.

Agatha's Pov

'Sigh! When will that kid leave his attention from my breasts! Although he is a good boy, he is just too attracted to my breasts. None of my previous children acted like that. I wonder what is wrong with him.

But …  seeing my baby showing those tearful eyes, my heart just can't take it. I wonder if I should let him have his way for a few more years… No I can't be too soft hearted to him.

Although he is cute and.. wait isn't he way too cute. My baby is the best. Those village ladies always look at me enviously when I take him out for a stroll. My baby…

Wait what am I thinking!! I am getting distracted here. I... should go check him up so that he is not cooped up in his room and become a loner.

Yah that's it. I... am definitely not going there to see if he wants to sleep hugging me today.…'

Agatha kept on arguing with herself as she advanced to Kiel's room bringing a little jug of water. She arrived at the doorstep and opened the door.

Coming in, she saw her little baby lying on the floor.

"Baby why are you sleeping on the floor??"

"Kiel?... It seems that he has fallen asleep. Sigh! This kid. He always acts like the odd one out. He may catch a cold here."

Getting no response, Agatha got to him and picked him up to place him on his bed, only to find him unconscious.

Seeing her child in such a state, she panicked.

"Kiel wake up!! Baby !! Baby!!"

She tried but to no avail. Seeing no reaction, tears began to flow from her eyes and heart began to clench.

Panicking, she shouted for her husband to help.

"Honey!! Come here fast… Kiel had become unconscious. Quick we need to go to the doctor. HONEY¡!!"

***

Kiel woke up with a big headache.

Slowly opening his eyes he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He tried moving but found his limbs sore and numb. Although he became a little surprised by all this, he still felt calm. He then tried to remember what had happened to him.

He remembered how he found his Root Chakra and activated it, also the draining of all his energy after activating it. He remembered feeling so weak before passing out. He also remembered having a long dream about something, but he couldn't remember it.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the door knob click, and a familiar big booobed lady walked in.

"Oh! Little kid you woke up!!"

Seeing the juggling melons covered in just a thin cloth, Kiel didn't focus on what she said. He had only one thought in his mind now, and he said it out loud!

"Big"

*Gulp*

"What did you say brat??"

Waking out from his reverie, Kiel embarrassedly replied,"Nothing"

She was the big boobed lady doctor that Kiel knew.

Seeing him embarrassed, she smirked.

"As it should be. Wait here. I'll inform Agatha that you woke up finally. Little guy you are really strange. You have been sleeping for seven days straight!! What happened to you??"

"Whath sheven days!!"

As he said so his stomach started grumbling.

Feeling even more embarrassed at his conduct, Kiel looked away but could still feel hungry.

"Wait up. I'll bring you food too." Saying so the doctor went out closing the door.

Realizing that he was alone, Kiel started to inspect the changes in his body. He looked the same on the outside just a bit red.

But he felt an empty feeling inside him. A cold empty feeling. Feeling uncomfortable, he closed his eyes, took long breaths and started using Vitalization to generate some life force.

As he began breathing deeply, he felt a little change. Surprisingly he could draw energy very easily this time. And now could hold up to ten breaths from the initial two.

Amazed by this, he started Circulation this time to see if it has changed too. As he inhaled and exhaled he felt it very comforting and he could easily complete one round. His control over the energy also felt much better.

He could feel his energy building up inside him, and the familiar warmth returning to his cold body. The warmth this time however was more intense. It was not hot, but more like a sticky liquid spreading in his body.

Seeing the changes, Kiel had guessed that he succeeded.

Genuinely feeling excited, Kiel now tried to feel his Root Chakra for any changes. He was a little scared due to the previous accident, but curiosity overcame it.

Sending his energy to his heart vessels, then diverting it from the blood vessels at this lower body to his tailbone region, he focused on the spot where he found his Root Chakra.

Directing the energy felt easy, so he didn't feel too focused. Just like before when his energy touched the spot, it started glowing dimly and his energy started getting sucked in again.

Getting the similar sensation, Kiel panicked and stopped directing energy. The suction stopped instantly. Unlike the previous time, it didn't continue and the chakra dimmed down.

Kiel felt a little relief, but he was still feeling nervous. He didn't want to experience that again. Noticing it was safe, he tried again. As he reached the spot this time, the red glow started again and he felt a gentle sucking force this time.

Seeing he was alright, Kiel grew a little bold and sent his energy inside the spot.

What he saw inside, surprised him a lot. A small sapling with a little red bud was in the centre. The bud had four petals closed in a square shaped; three which were closed. The last one was dangling with a red hue. When he sent his energy more to inside, Kiel felt a little pressure on himself.

The pressure and the floweret seemed very familiar to him. He even felt like he had seen them somewhere.

Just as Kiel was about to probe more, the door opened and a voice woke him up.

"Kiel baby how are you??"

Opening his eyes and seeing the worried look on his mother's face, Kiel forgot what he was thinking just now. He just smiled at her.

"Mamma imma fine."

Derek was behind Agatha, as he was also looking worried.

Agatha ran over and hugged him completely. A deep warm feeling surged within him feeling the familiar love.

"Kid, you have been sleeping for seven days. Just what happened to you?" Derek asked.

Agatha , who was hugging him, now took a step back and looked at his eyes waiting for an answer.

From the behind, the lady doctor also arrived with a tray full of food and placed it beside him.

Seeing them like this, Kiel felt a headache. 'Now how do I explain this. Can't tell them about chakra. It may have consequences and I'm too small now. And explaining them about what happened would result in even more complications.'

Thinking for a bit, he had an idea, 'Yes… alright!! Let's play the innocent card, mixing truth with lies. Although this may lt clear my name, this will lessen the damage that I may take and I'm still a kid. How could I know what happened to me?'

"I ...I don't know. I was playing meditation like father. It was then I felt a buzz and then I lost consciousness. And here I am. "

(A/N note: He is acting like a little child. Then he has to explain less as he may not have understood what happened, as he was still a child. )

Trembling a little,he tightened his hug and spoke again, "Mommy I am scared...Am I going to die??"

Seeing their child like this, they became heartbroken and forgot what they were about to ask.

"No my child you will be alright. The doctor said you were only exhausted. That's all"

"From now on just don't imitate mamma and papa. You are a kid. So don't do these things."

Behaving like a good child, he nodded. "I understand"

Derek turned to the doctor.

"Doctor can we take him home"

"Well you can. He has no problems. I've checked him before. Be sure to keep him hydrated. That's all"

"Let's go then"

"Mamma I'm hungry."

Kiel replied with his puppy eyes. And Agatha melted down instantly...
