The first steps in a new world. Part 2

In addition to my very cute appearance, I also have an excellent memory, since after reading or hearing at least something, I instantly remember it. And strangely enough, it doesn't bother me at all and doesn't bring discomfort. It feels like I have an endless library in my head, which contains books with my knowledge and I can open and read it at any moment.

"So stop looking in the mirror, we need to get down quickly." I said out loud to hurry myself up.

With these thoughts in mind, I went down to the kitchen where Aunt May and her adopted daughter Aurora were waiting for me, who in three years of my life in this world had become my real family. Why are so few people waiting for me on such an important day as my birthday, you may ask. So this is due to the fact that it is very difficult for me to communicate with children, after all, I have the consciousness of an adult man.

"Good morning, Aunt May, Sister Aurora" I said cheerfully, smiling.

"And good morning to you, dear," my aunt greeted me.

Aunt May is a sweet and incredibly kind grandmother with short gray hair, brown eyes reflecting her experience and the hardships of her years.

"Hi, brother, how did you sleep?" Aurora also asked cheerfully.

Sister Aurora is a beautiful girl with long wheat-colored hair and gray-blue eyes. She is incredibly funny and loves jokes, which is why I am often the subject of her jokes.

"Everything is wonderful, Aurora!"

"So kids stop standing in the hallway, let's go to the kitchen" Aunt May pushed us.

My sister and I went to the kitchen, where a small breakfast of English porridge, a couple of eggs and a cup of hot chocolate was on the table. When we had eaten, a small cupcake with one candle in the center was placed on the table. Then my aunt looked at me with a loving look and said to make a wish and blow out the candle, after which she lit the candle!

Honestly, I had a lot of desires, ranging from the most banal and stupid, for example, to be the richest man in the world, ending with the desire for world peace and no one to get sick. But still, I had one cherished wish, I wanted to meet people whom I would love with all my heart. And so that I have the strength to protect them from all the problems they may face.

Having made a wish, I blew out the candle and at that moment something clicked in me and I felt that changes were coming and there would be many difficulties ahead. I do not know how to describe it, but it felt like something subtle had changed in me. Something that can change my life.

"Daniel, is everything okay, are you blushing all over, are you feeling unwell?" Aunt May and Aurora asked worriedly in unison, looking at me with a very worried look.

"Everything is fine, aunt, I'm just very happy and worried very much, so I blushed" I came up with an excuse on the go.

In fact, I did not understand anything at all, what kind of sensations they were, the sign and meaning of which I did not understand. But I really hoped that he did not bode ill for me or my family.

Then my day passed quite calmly, I was given small gifts, I received a book of fairy tales from my aunt and a knitted blue and white scarf, which was well considered with my hair and eyes. And Aurora gave me a book of mythical beasts like dragons and phoenixes.

That's how my third birthday ended, not without oddities, but I was incredibly happy and hoped that my life would not be worse than it is now.

Skipping time

It was the middle of the night outside, and at this hour the streets should have been illuminated only by lanterns and bright rays of the moon, but in one place one little boy was still awake. In St. Peter's Orphanage, a dim light was visible in one of the windows. The owner of this room was a young Daniel Rivera, well known for his impeccable unusual appearance and remarkable mind.

I couldn't sleep at night for two reasons. First of all, tomorrow I turn 9 years old. And secondly, that strange feeling that appeared in me 6 years ago when I blew out the candle on the cupcake made itself felt. I'm not sure what to expect from this, but for some reason I expect something incredible, and maybe even magical.

Early in the morning, I was woken up by a loud scream from Aurora, who came to wake me up. I jumped out of bed and fell straight to the floor, after which I looked at my sister, who had grown up during this time. She turned 15 years old, she has become an incredible beauty and many teenagers of our city are running after her. But she dismisses everyone and does it far from elegantly, but very boyishly.

She is currently studying at a strict boarding school in Scotland, where she was accepted for her academic success. Aurora only comes home from school at Christmas and during the summer holidays, so we see her very rarely. 

"Wake up, little dormouse, you have an important day today," she shouted to me laughing and left the room.

I quickly cleaned myself up and went downstairs, where sister told me that aunt had something to do, so I had time to walk or read books. At first I thought about going to read books, but I remembered that I had read everything for a long time, and I didn't have any new ones. And they won't let me into the library without adults.

After leaving the shelter, I headed to the nearest park. It is a small but quite beautiful park with a pond and a lot of different birds that are constantly trying to get at me. Moreover, this park gradually connects to a fairly large forest, where, according to legend, the ruins of an ancient fortress are located.

Legend has it that in this forest there was a castle of unprecedented beauty, in which an ancient good sorcerer lived. It is said that he was so powerful that he could change reality itself and bring people back to life. But this sorcerer had a drawback, he was very fond of experimenting and one day decided to conduct an experiment, because of which the whole castle blew up into the air, and the sorcerer died.

But this is just a legend, because no one has yet managed to find at least some evidence of the existence of this castle.

When I got to the park, an unusual feeling that had been dormant for the last 6 years suddenly flared up in me with new colors and seemed to require me to move to some kind of call...
