2 Celebration of Life

Somewhere in a dark place a critter float, It was supported by somekind of cord and liquid. Silence permeate through out the place, no movement nor anything came from the critter. Not a single sign of life shown by the critter, until...

...

The boy start to awoken from his deep slumber, he feels warm viscous substance enveloping his body. He tried to open his eyes and moving his body but couldn't do it, in his mind he start to panic.

"Where am l? How did i get ugh..." As the boy questioning his circumstances, he suddenly groaned in pain. A splitting hedache assault his head, he may start vomiting if the condition allowed.

Fragmented memories appear one by one, the pieces start to fill each other as they became a complete picture. "What exactly happen to me?" Thoughts the boy "I remember that my illness relapsed and i fell to the floor..." Rummaging through his memories, he start to remember that he already died.

"There's also that mysterious voice 'thine wish has been granted' what does it mean by that?" As much as he wanted to know what happened to him, he feel tired and goes to sleep.

Time passes...

The cycle of him awoken then fell asleep repeated over and over. In that time the boy beginning to accepted that he really had died. The weirdest thing that he found is even if he had died, he could still somehow felt that he has a body, he just can't move it well and he doesn't felt hunger at all.

Strange thoughs budding up in his mind "Is- is this the cliche situation where's I died and met the mysterious beings X? will he punished me because l'm not good enough of a believer? will i also turn into a girl? hehehe" the boy chuckled at his own thoughts.

"Time will tell if my hypothesis is right or not" thought the boy as he continues doing his own thing.

...

In a certain universe, a bearded old man suddenly tremble as it has a conversation with a certain salary man.

"The high and mighty being like you quivering? what a funny joke" said the salary man sarcastically.

"Thou would never understood what's in the mine of god. Pray as you suffer and a miracle would come to those who believe, Deus lo Vult. Now begone thot!" the old man wave his hand and the salary man gone just like that.

Only the old man remain, he sigh as his eyes gaze into the stary night "Someone must have been talking bad behind me and a powerful one that is". The old man ponder about what being is it. But that still irrelevant for now, back to our hero.

...

Now the boy somewhat able to move his body parts even if its only a small motion. The instance of this happening he was so happy and his moods soaring through the sky. He is so happy that his leg kick into a some kind of wall, like usual his body became tired and he fell asleep.

Everynow and then he could hears somekind of humming sound. The voice make his body relaxed and energetic, it seems there's somekind of resonace beetwen the voice and his body.

"My hypothesis became more more plausible, that voice maybe is my mother's! What a beautiful voice she had" thought the boy as he praises the origin of the sound. The relaxing effect of the voice making him feels sleepy and pass out.

When he is awake he spent most of his time idling , but after sometime interesting happen as he start to meditate. Somehow he is able perceive a this vague existances, Its not the liquid that enveloping him since god knows how long. It is something different, something real yet also not.

Its almost the same as a wind, you could felt the wind touching your skin but couldn't see it with your eyes. He tried to mingle with this thing but nothing happened. After so many attempt to associate with the thing he start to lose hope.

The thought of manipulating this existance he thinks maybe is a mana, gone. The boy sadden, but, all of sudden in the dept of his soul something changes with out his knowledge. A small vortex forming, it creates a suction force strong enough to attract the surrounding mana near the boy.

The boy startled by the unexpected change. If he could smile right now his smile would be as wide as the crescent moon. Even if only a very small amount he could absorb now, he believes one day that he could do much more. "Perhaps my dream of using magic is possible after all!!!"

Unknown number of time passes, the boy became proficient at absorbing the mana around him. He occupy his time by playing with the mana he had and ponder what could it do. The restrictions on his body is becoming less and less restrictive. Until one day he feels a sudden force pushing his body....

...

The sun shines brightly in the sky, illuminating the world with its warmth light. Somewhere hidden by hills and vegetation, a hamlet could be found. Its residents living peacefully there, some of them were plowing the field and some of them hunt the wild life near the village.

In one its wooden cottage, a woman laying on the bed with her bulging bellies as she grasping someone who seems to be her husband and an old lady.

"Madam, take a deep breath and then exhale, breath, exhale... and push" with her experience and wisdom, the old lady instruct the woman in labor.

The man feels his nerves wracking so much because of the anxiety. He support his wife and cheer her up "You can do it Sara!! I know you can do it!!!". Sara's hand grabbing him so hard that its start hurting but he doesn't voice any complain. Only voice of encouragement comes from him.

Sara was in so much pain, she tried to endure it for her and Gil soon to be born child. She could see Gil worried faces, It makes her happy and give her the power to endure this labor.

Tense atmosphere continue until a sound of baby crying could be heard. It ligthen the surrounding mood, a smile start to form on Sara delicate mouth.

"Congratulations madam, Its a healthy baby boy!" said the old lady as she stare at the young lovey-dovey couple.

Sara was so happy right now and ask the old lady to let her see her cute baby boy. "be careful madam, your body stills very weak after all" Warn the old lady as she let Sara handle the baby, then she went outside to prepare a bath for the baby.

"He is so cute, Gil, Can you give our baby a name?" ask Sara as she hugs and try to calm her crying baby. She sings a song with her beautiful voice and the baby start to calm down. the baby yawns and then fell asleep.

Gil watches his beloved carriying their sleeping baby boy and smile. He says "His name will be...."
