Reborn

As the sun was setting in a busy city, a sixteen year old boy was walking home from getting some ice cream. He was five foot ten and in relatively good shape, with blonde wavy hair and blue eyes, this was Lucian. He had gone to the shop for a snack to eat while he watched some anime and read some manga.

The walk was going pretty well, as he had quickly gotten to the shop and was on his way back through the busy streets. It was difficult for him to not get bumped into by almost everyone who he walked past, as they all seemed to be going the other way to him.

After around five minutes of walking like this, Lucian decided to cross the street as the opposite side was less crowded. As he was walking across the street, he looked up at the sky and took in the world around him with a content look on his face, as although he enjoyed anime and manga, he was also a big fan of nature and the world around him.

What Lucian was not aware of, was that the driver of a truck must have also been taking in the surroundings, as he had failed to see Lucian walking across the road.

Before either the driver or Lucian knew what was happening, a feeling of being completely crushed hit Lucian with no mercy. His body was sent flying through the street, and blood leaked from his severely injured body.

As he lay dying in the middle of the street, Lucian stared at the sky one last time until his sight dimmed and eventually went black.

*In Another World*

In the middle of a forest, a half destroyed carriage splattered with blood lay in tatters. Multiple dead, and destroyed, bodies lay scattered in and around the carriage. Not only the human passengers were victims, but also the horses that had been pulling the carriage.

In the same forest, an old man in a robe with grey hair and a grey beard was walking nearby. Unbeknownst to him, he was walking in the direction that the carriage happened to be in.

Once he came close enough to see that destruction of the carriage and the surrounding area, a sad expression made its way to his face, "Monsters did this, what a terrible fate for them.'

He knelt down to pay his respects to the dead, "At least let me pray for you all."

However, as soon as he did this, he heard a noise, "Wahh."

This brought a thought to the man's mind, 'The cries of a newborn child?!' He could not help himself from speaking aloud, "Where?"

He moved quickly towards the sound of the cries, and found himself in the back of the carriage. The old man picked up the crying baby in his arms, "Being able to survive through an attack by monsters... This is absolutely a miracle."

The old man took a closer look at the baby, "You're a little hurt. Heal" As soon as he said this, a light green magic circle appeared in the man's hand, and the baby's wounds were visibly healed.

As the old man was healing the child, he noticed something else. Nearby the place the baby in his arms had been, was another child. However, unlike the first baby's purplish hair and brown eyes, the second child had light blonde hair and green eyes. This child did not have any wounds despite having a small splash of blood on the cloth he was wrapped up in.

"This is incredible, two children managed to survive an attack by monsters. Judging by your faces and very similar ages, you two seem to be twins. You two children, I will raise you both myself."

The old man held both babies in his arms, and walked back off into the forest with the resolve to raise the boys as well as he could.
