2 Findings

(Mc Pov)

"zzz zzz... Da?" I groggily said as I woke up.

Its been a few days since I've been born or at least it felt like a few days. Between breastfeeding, pooping and sleeping it really makes me wonder what does actually excite babies. Almost every time after I wake up there always seems to be a person who wants to play with me.

Problem is, my response to their invitations is limited. Other than the occasional smiling face when they try to scare me with peek-a-boo, there's not much I can do. It's only been a few days after I was excited by the magic at the beginning and this life is already boring the shit out of me. I mean I'm a baby and I'm almost bored to death.

Almost.

Fortunately my sight has improved a bit and I can see about a foot in front of me. Any further and a blurred image would appear. I still have problems recognizing who is who but if I solely rely on my hearing, I can distinguish roughly everyone in my family.

I told you I'm badass.

Well that and coincidently this world, wherever it is, uses the same language as the English people use : English. The only downside is that being a baby, I can understand what they're saying but I can't seem to respond the way I want. The only sound that comes out of my mouth is either a 'da' or a 'da~' and the occasional baby grin which happens to be my favorite. Just one look and instant cuteness overload.

What? I have to play my role.

Now I'm barely a week old so what I can do is very limited. Other than the occasional peek-a-boo that I play with my dad, I put my focus to assess my environment more. Based on the way sound reflects back at me, I think it's safe to say that the room I'm in is on the inner side of the house. I couldn't really hear any animal sounds our feel any real sunlight. Maybe they installed sound proofing on the walls, I don't know.

Oh yeah I forgot to introduce my family. Sorry, my bad.

My dad is called Luke Lux. He sounds like a typical grown man. Classic deep voice, huge stature even though blurred, and humongous hands. Sometimes I imagine him being a villain. You know like those evil character voices with the villainous laugh? You don't? Oh. Well now you know. I couldn't get a clear view of him because I'm just barely a week old but I think it's safe to assume he looks decent. I hope he does because I need those handsome genes.

My mom is Mira Lux. She has a very nice voice. Almost like a singer. She does sing the occasional lullabies and I'm grateful for that. I can't put my finger on it (both literally and not) but she has a kind of weird aura. It's like a mysterious aura but at the same time a familiar kind of aura. Maybe it's just a mother's aura.

Next is my sister. Or is it sisters?. I don't know. They sound kind of the same but they have different attitudes. Supposedly, one is Synthea and the other is Lisa. One is like the cheerful kind. Always squealing, sometimes screaming, running around (I think). The other voice is kind of stoic and emotionless like a doll. Maybe they're twins.

Scratch that, I hope they're twins. I never had twins. Heck, I never had siblings. In my past life I was an only child. With nothing to do, I did the best thing a baby could do for their parents : sleep soundly.

A few weeks pass and I finally found something that can ease my boredom : Magic.

Or at least that's what it seems like.

I can sometimes feel something moving around my fingertips. A somewhat cold tingling feeling. After focusing on that feeling, I could start to see something like tiny magic circles. At least it seems like it. I wonder if I can use this magic to my advantage.

Every time my parents go to sleep, I try to manifest these magic circles and enlarge them. By the time I'm done, I'm so beat that I crash almost immediately.

One of things I noticed is that, these magic circles have different colors and designs. But with my blurry eyesight coupled with the tiny size of these magic circles, I couldn't do much.

At first I just imagined making a little wind and then 'poof' a light blue magic circle appeared on my fingertips. I also tried to enlarge it so that I could study the design better but every time I did that, I felt sleepy all of a sudden. Maybe the bigger the size the more energy it consumes.

Well that's an experiment for another day, I'm exhausted. Time to crash again.
