6 My first time moving on my own.

I was reborn into a family of farmers, that lives in the village near the border of our Kingdom. Everyday, my father would tell me stories about fields and nearby forest, and mother would tell me fairy tales about mages, dragons, kings, wars and so on. It was very interesting, but at the same time, a little....

Annoying.

I was so annoyed. Even though I understood that I'm very dependent on my parents for everything, it was torcherous. I couldn't move and see those green fields or enter that attractive forest. I wanted to listen to the sound of river and see swift fishes, but I could not.If I could at least hold my head straight, it would be less intimidating, but I couldn't do that either!!! It would just fall back helplessly.

I say that, but now I finally can!!! I'm now 3 months old! I can move my head, sit and even crawl!! Though no one knows yet. I hid it from my parents just in case. But still, my hard work finally paid of. Even though I couldn't move, I was practising and overcoming my weaknesses. Every time I was exercising, I felt some kind of power reinforcing my bones.

If my guess is correct, it was magic. Why? Because I've seen my father using it to light up a candle. When he showed it to me, I was so excited! I think that my excitement was showing on my face, since Father's grin became even wider as he showed off his magic. From his boastful words, he could use fire, wind and earth attributes. How many are there in total he didn't' tell. Mother could use water attribute.

And that's why I concluded that I have magic and was using it unconsciously. I mean, if my parents can, why won't I have it?

This realisation came after I was 1 month old, so since than I was trying to consciously use magic to strength my body.

There is something I want to try, but I have to wait for the right moment.

*****************

Mother fed me and since she was in a hurry to go somewhere, she put me to sleep on her bed.

Father was busy on the fields and mother, since she thought that I was sleeping soundly, left to do the laundry. While no one was watching, I climbed down from the bed and crawled to the entrance.

***************

Ah! It was so wonderful! Even though I didn't go out of our houses yard, I still could experience a lot of new things: prickly, fresh, emerald grass , surene, blue, clear sky, small grasshoppers, colourful butterflies were circling around my head and one sat on my nose. Buzzing of honeybees and chirping of birds filled the air, making everything seem so lively and pleasant to the senses. I lied on my back and stared into the depths of the sky.

"Itsh o biutfll"( it's so beautiful)

I was strengthening my vocal cords as well, but they are still weak and can not produce words properly.

I closed my eyes and sang a song from my childhood. It didn't sound the same and the pitch was all messed up, but I enjoyed every second of it, until...

"Mirta!!! How did you get here!? I was searching for you!"

My mother came running and picked me up. Her eyes were a little red.

"Do you know how scared I was? I came earlier to check up on you and didn't find you anywhere in the house! Luckily I heard your voice and came running here, only to find you out side, along and dirty! *sniff* I didn't know what to do if you gone missing."

She started to cry. I'm so sorry. I didn't think that mom would come earlier. I made her worry.she

"I'm sowi..."

"But it's okay now. Why did I even complain to you? You are so small. My cute little girl is still to young to understand thing, right my sweety?"

It seems to me that she didn't hear my words, but that's okay. its too early for me to speak anyways.

She carried me inside, but before we reached our bedroom, I dozed off and saw colourful dreams of me playing outside with my parents.
