See you again... (1)

He was born in spring.

The child of the world opened his eyes in the top of a hill, it was cold, refreshing, he felt the soft petals and breeze through his weak and innocent body, innocence, it's a word that describes the absence of evil, it mas most likely not the words that must describe the thoughts of such innocent creature…

-GOD, dammit, instead of questioning something like him I must have tried to learn what I was getting into, dammit, were the hell am i?- if curses feed a man, he sure would be a wonderful farmer, but he wasn´t, and hunger started to gain a toll on him

-Im hungry, curse you baby hands, he literally "made" me, ahh, even as an intern I didn´t suffer such fate, I could just go to the vending machine and get me some snacks, not that it would really help but still, I better just dropped dea…

*Rumble*

A quake made him fall from his delusions, tremors could be heard from every part of the mountain, birds of a species he couldn´t recognize fled in horror as a murderous scream shake the world, a roar that could only be compared to an apex predator, except, it mean what it should, lions roar to scare their victim, this one, this one made them surrender, drop to their knees and accept their fate, who could be such a fool to even dare to breath under the same sky as a creature so mighty…

*Child cries*

- kill me, kill me bastard, whatever are you, show yourself and murder the great me, comply my pray

- [Silence creature!]- As those words were registered by an undeveloped brain that could only complained, what appeared to be a giant lizard ascended from the darkness surrounding the peak of the mountain

- [What are you abomination, I sense a firm {Aura} from you, but for your species, that must be impossible, reveal your true form, are you perhaps a demon trying to steal from this one's mighty knowledge?]

- Knowledge? lizard I've been alive for less than a day, you´re the first living I've talked too! (He sounds like a baby rambling)

- [Hmm?, you are truly descent from humans, what peculiar sight, and you can even manifest {Aura}, tell me child, how did a human prodigy got stranded on this one's peak?]

-That's the weird thing to you? I can speak!

- [And I am a being who prefers knowledge over gold, child, you are blessed you don´t die from my mere presence, know answer me, before I found out by my own]

- My apologies, great lizard, as you may deduce, I was born, *baby cough*, made here, I was not stranded, I was made here

- [Oh, so that´s what it is, you´re a {Emergent}, peculiar but not extraordinary, the peculiar thing is that you´ve been born with {Aura}, on top of that, unlike your fellow human relatives, you don't suffer from [Original Sin], and even more thrilling, you have memories, tell me {Emergent}, are your memories from a past life?, if so, do you remember your name?]

"Lord I've god a headache, so much information" ("-" are used to quote or in this case reference a characters thoughts)

- Yes, I have memories from my past life, but, now that you mentioned it, I do not remember my name, I remember I had a grudge with a man named Leopold, but no name seems familiar nor fond to me

- [Magnificent, {Emergent}, consider yourself the luckiest man on Solaris, you, not like your predecessors, are free of sin, magnificent, to think such day would come, {Emergent}, do you have a title or name that would you like to be called as?}

"Somethings weird, I thought lizard would be cockier and more arrogant, this one is even asking for a name, somethings off."

-No great one, I do not

- [Would you like this great one to give you a name, young {Emergent}?]

- I would greatly appreciate, great one

- [Using this one wisdom, from this point onwards, [Hamustra], [The dragon who devours words], will grant you the name [Aron], for you who was born in spring on the peak of the great library of the world.]

"Yeah, sounds like a gramps name for me, and what's that [Dragon who devours words], sounds pretentious to …

<Your existence is changing>

"…pretentious, hey wait, what…"

- [Done young Aron, from this point onwards, you have a name of your own]

-Thank you great one, I'm truly thankful for you to grant me this wish, but may I ask the reason for?

- [HAHA, fast and smart, I like you, This one grant you a wish because it also expects a retribution, it´s not a big deal, in fact, it may sound like a gift for you]

"And here we go, there's no free breakfast in the world, I hope he just wants to use me for some time and then get free me, if he asks me for something as, "Give me your hearth", "Be my apostle" or related I'll just gladly starve to death."

- [Young Aron, I'll like to make you my student]
