Chapter 32(My Life)

Under the tree, gentel breze blew acrros my face. Exhaling the air I completed the last cycle of today's routine of my breathing exercise.

[Alan come inside if you are done with your meditation.] said, Mother.

[Yes, mother... Coming right away] I replied. Yes, I replied means that I can talk now, and being unable to talk for months made me realize more how grateful was the day when I first talked, it a very fond and hilarious memory and it is still clear as a sky in my mind.

It was like any other ordinary day, I was laying on my comfy bed and busy with my thoughts when suddenly papa came inside the room and picked me up, and started kissing me all over my face. He was truly happy that day and was telling me all about it but my mind was beyond irritated after my face was covered in his saliva and I in my mind was cursing him when suddenly I cursed out loud. [leave me f*****g alone] was what I said, and this became my first sentence.

But I feigned ignorance after that and after some days, I called out mother and then buttered papa by saying he is the best, and with that and my cute face, they forgot that event after some time but after that came another hell where my mother would sit in front of me for hours asking me to call out for her and say even more different words and then there would be papa who would cuddle me up and ask me to praise him non stop and as their loving, innocent and 'normal' son I had to follow their orders and smile laugh and giggle on their jokes and 'funny' faces.

But thankfully after a season when I finally started walking on my own two feet I was able to run away from that hell, and sometime after that papa and mother became accustomed to me talking and soon they stopped noting down my every word and praising me for every new word.

Currently, I am a big boy that can walk, talk, and even bathe on his own. Am I this amazing...

Fuck what am I thinking, I know the agony of not being able to talk but to think I would praise myself even after two seasons I am such a loser. Well, let's leave that, let's move quickly to home otherwise mother would scold me. Previous time when I ignored her I was bombed by her teary eyes for the rest of the day and to make up to her, I had to sweet-talk to her for the whole day after that, and that was more exhausting than fighting an ancient beast in a fiery pit, it's not like I don't like my mother I just love her embrace and the sense of warmth and security that it brings but I just don't like expressing it all in words it is so much embarrassing.

After coming home I was asked to get ready for morning breakfast, soon papa came and mother started serving us, our share of food, which is by the way best in both lives.

[Honey why do you insist on meditating daily you are still a kid you should enjoy your childhood and play why waste time sitting like your old mother here.] said mother while serving me food.

Yes, this was the excuse I came up with to do daily breathing exercises actively. One day when I saw my mother training her students in mana meditation I insisted to join and ever since then I have been doing breathing exercises under this pretext saying I liked how it felt.

But there was one time where mother became curious about me and checked my body for mana but couldn't find a trace, I was sure to get exposed that day but my mother could not detect any mana, but how could be this possible because for the past three years with active and passive breathing technique I have been able to gather a lot of mana across my body, enough for my "myriad vision" to last for 3 Ticks long. Which at the start was only a few blinks long.

[Mom it is a very calm feeling whenever I do this and after that, I get the energy to love you the whole day.] I said while making puppy eyes, my greatest weapon against my mom, after which no one dares to ask me anything, But it comes with its own side effect that is whenever I use puppy eyes my face get ...

[oh my cute alan loves her mother so much .. let mother kiss you] said mother bombarding me with hundred of kisses and covering my little face with her love.

after breakfast papa normally goes to his Job, which is handling Village affairs as Village head. Unexpectedly my papa won the next village election when I was 2 years and that makes my papa's current head, and with that, the condition of our house has somewhat improved, as I learned from Old hag Greed that most of papa previous income has gone in mothers medication.

Still, now that I am born everything is looking good for this family and I just need to make sure that they feel happier from now onwards. I will sure to make them proud this time.

[Mom I am going out to play] I said to mom while heading out.

[be careful and return before lunch.] said mom while waving her hand as I ran out of the house.

while other kids of my age would often play childish games, like battle roleplays and prince and princess or most hateful of them all 'great hero' and I would never want to play those games, so what I do is to go to the outskirts of the Village to do some physical and breathing exercise, and since the weather is nice today I can maybe catch a rabbit for dinner.

[Alan ... where are you going???] said a girl from behind my back. this voice is clearly my second biggest obstacle, the one who always wants to play some kind of game and drags me in them too. a trouble maker and a headache, Freya Amberly. yes, the daughter of my mother's best friend and little sister Flora Amberly.

[Alan what are you thinking, why are you not responding, is something wrong ... Alan ....Alan... Alan] like a humming bee she continued to irritate me.

[Freya I am busy, so I will not play with you today ... ok ... so see you later... bye] with that I dashed towards the outskirts of the village. But alas...

[o so what is your important task]said Freya who not so surprisingly followed me. But it is just a normal routine but surprising is that she could keep up with me when here I am out of breath after running from one edge to other edges while her breathing was totally normal

[why are you following me] I said and turned around to go away from this headache.

[simple because I wanna play with you...] said Freya with her innocent smile that gives me a serious headache. I seriously want her to go away so I could return to my practice but well, what could I say she is a child after all.

[ok then play by yourself I am here for a task so leave me ...] before I could finish my sentence there was a sudden rustling in from the bush behind.
