The last thing I remember was a bus that came out of nowhere and crashed into me.

Wouldn't say I wasn't afraid in that split second, nor would I brag about my life being pathetic or something similar to that.

But, and yes there's always a "butt", I felt a little relieved with the thought of 'this' being over.

Don't get me wrong with this depressing thought though. I am not suicidal in any way.

I'm just a thinker. A seeker is what I call myself. Someone who has a goal to seek out something he wants.

But I felt empty. Devoid of any passion. I don't really have any attachments left here in this place. Nor do I really care about anything anymore.

The other part of me though, wanted to live, wanted to cheer about every moment and feel 'Alive'.

And there's always a question right? What happens after death? What do you feel?

Let me tell you, It feels as if time has slowed down. And you get to re-live all the events through your memories once again, just like a recap of your daily soap-operas.

How do I know this?

Well because it's been just a few moments after the collision and here I am talking to myself, like a monologue about life, acting as if I'm the main character in some novel and here's a big event going to happen in few moments.

It was painful as hell when that dude ran the damn bus over me.

Can he even see clearly?

Who gave him the fucking license anyway?

Ohh now he's panicking you see. I get it.

But I'm someone who always takes his revenge.. Maybe not this time..

Any-who I feel lighter somehow and a little disoriented. What's happen#&*..............

"Is this the soul?" asks someone authoritatively.

"Yes, sire. But... But can we.. umm should we really do this?" asks the servant seemingly afraid due to some reason.

"Are you questioning my decision? A little Zolviak like you dares?" The person reacts angrily, grabbing Zolviak's neck and throwing him away.

"No sire... I ask for forgiveness.. this little one doesn't dare to... it's just... what would we do if the Goddess finds out about this?" The servant kneels down and kowtows in a subservient manner with fear written all over its face.

"Don't worry. She wouldn't. Hmm...? This soul is a breed mixed with chaos and uncertainty." The person says thoughtfully talking to himself "How surprising it is that an anomaly would be found within this puny creature, and In this Space-time no less.. Ugh.. these vermins... so dirty. If its breed was a little bit higher then it would have had a chance to do miracles, but within this God-forsaken place, this species, nothing special."

"Is chaos-uncertainty this special?" Zolviak murmurs.

"You don't know it's importance, just that this boon has been wasted on this human species. Lower level creature... ugh... I hate this place." The person makes nauseous face as if he's standing in a piece of garbage.

"Just transfer him to Arnula already. Don't worry, Nobody cares about this place. With his soul, at least I can hide my little mistake. With no attribute, even if his soul vanishes, we can blame it on the structural inconsistencies of the world and get away with it, it won't even collide with different Kemet frequency of that world."

"Yes... Yes, sire" Zolviak salutes and does some action in the air. Meanwhile, 'that' person vanishes in thin air.

Half-way through, Zolviak is stunned because of the reddish glow in the soul of that human and stops momentarily.

Suddenly realising his mistake, Zolviak restarts his actions but messes up the order and soul is transferred somewhere through a flash of light.

**×××**

Arnula. [Night time]

Suddenly a circular ring of white light flashes in the sky, revolving mid-air and a reddish energy bursts out of it, just like a shooting star.

Crossing over a long distance it vanishes somewhere, as if it was just a meteor that had burnt out.

Looking a little bit higher, a shadow could be seen for a moment. Which is shrouded by a thin layer of darkness, mixing well with the night.

It is the Zolviak slave. The same Zolviak who had sent the soul to Arnula from Earth. The same Zolviak who was subservient to 'that person', now seems to be entirely different.

If you could see Zolviak's face underneath the cloak it had worn, you can make out a sly grin indicating success to his greater scheme of things.

It's a shame that 'that person' wasn't here. If he were, he would have found out something so unexpected, he would have never dared imagine otherwise.

"Let the Chaos breed and Uncertainty grow" - The Zolviak slave has a silent laugh and vanishes in thin air as if he was never there.

Unbeknownst to the Zolviak, the red meteor that should've evaporated into non-existence, shimmered into brilliance and had some blue-ish suction around it, just like a mini-tornado.

It slowly diminishes in size and becomes as small as a bead, looking just like a ruby-red water droplet.

And unseen to any human eye, it travels a long distance, falling into a big Manor somewhere within a desolate country, vanishing into nothingness again.

The weather suddenly turns violent and instantaneously there is a heavy rainfall with loud thunder crackling and echoing in the night.

Inside the Manor where the bead had fallen, unlike normal days there is a huge commotion.

The Manor mistress is about to give birth.

A muscular man is pacing outside the door, with his back straight and shoulders high, as if it can carry the weight of the whole world.

Unlike his stature, his squarish forehead is wrinkled with a frown. A little tension could be made out from his pace indicating that he's waiting for someone's arrival as he's looking at the door from time to time.

After some-time a maid comes in and informs, "General, the doctor's carriage is stuck on the road. There are fallen trees due to heavy rain so they are coming on foot. Their arrival might be delayed."

"What?? How long will it take?" General's voice is heavy and concerned for his wife.

"It might take them two incense-stick of time" Maid replied.

"Sigh...It seems that heaven doesn't want us to have children." The General sighed and prayed to his necklace "May the Goddess protect my wife and child"

Inside the delivery room, the General's wife has passed out.

The midwives were panicked and we're trying everything they could to keep the mistress and the baby safe.

The attendants were either procuring water and other essentials or praying for the lady and her unborn child.

"Doesn't the lightning and rainfall seems a little ominous?" An attendant whispered to her friend.

"Silence!" the midwife yelled angrily "Our lady is blessed with Goddess' fortune. It might be a sign that the child is the son of lightning. And if you say any ominous words I'll ask your entire family to be beheaded!!"

The Attendant falls on her knees and begs for forgiveness while the midwife focused her attention back to the Mistress.

Some maids were looking for curtains and other things to find knots and undo them. It was believed that no knots should be present in the house during childbirth, to avoid any Maleficent powers at play.

While they were doing the best they can, time was running out.

Suddenly the door of the delivery room is opened from outside and a guest enters with General.

With pure white robes and a face hidden behind a veil, stretching from the forehead down to her nose, a lady enters. Her graceful figure seems to mesmerize any human being, indicating her charm.

Despite her hourglass figure there is no seduction, instead there is a saintly glow around her, describing her holiness.

Her dressing and followers behind her walking in subservient manner indicates that she is someone of high authority and position.

She is the Priestess that was called by the General from Hall of healing.

The Priestess indicates everyone except the mid-wives to go out and starts healing the Manor mistress with Aura.

Priestess of healing hall is someone with magical abilities. She is not only one of the best doctors but can also heal others by using something called Aura.

Aura can be described as a field surrounding the soul of a living being. It is something that can be felt but cannot be seen easily. It's just like a gentle breeze of nature which calms people and make them feel as safe as mother's womb..

Aura Users are mostly known for their healing abilities and are very rare.. They have great power to tap into someone's vitality and help them heal.

The Priestess takes the hand of Manor Mistress and starts healing her by slowly injecting her body with a greenish hue of aura. The pained face of General's wife starts to relax and she starts to recover slowly.

Some-time later, the Manor Mistress wakes up, lethargic and mid-wives start preparing for the delivery.

General stands just outside the door, pacing around but a little relieved due to the Priestess' arrival.

After some time the door opens and the Priestess walks out.

"General, Your wife is safe now," She said with a hint of concern, "But unfortunately, your child was stillborn."

"General, Your wife is safe now," The priestess said "But, unfortunately, your child was stillborn. I couldn't save him."

General's face went pale with shock and disbelief. He sat down, holding his face which was filled with anger and guilt toward himself.

He blamed his incompetence for not being able to save his own child and was suffocated with grief.

Looking closely you could make out tears hiding in the corner of his eyes.

A general who was treated as a War God, a spiritual pillar and support of a whole nation was vulnerable at this moment.

"Does my wife know?" He softly asked Priestess.

"She passed out as soon as she delivered the baby" Priestess replied, "You should stay strong for her sake".

General nodded and quietly entered the room.

___________________________

Meanwhile, the whole palace was mourning for the loss, grieving for the death of General's stillborn child.

But unknown to any eye, the drop of ruby-red bead that had vanished into non-existence previously, floated down like a dandelion seed through the window.

Shimmering with lustre, it radiated a reddish hue with a tinge of blue and fell down into the pale baby whose skin had turned purple due to asphyxia.

It seemed as if the bead was absorbed by the baby and then it entered the baby's heart unimpeded, lying dormant.

Everything seemed as if there was Fate's hand at play.

Everything seemed to be predestined.

____________________________

General entered the room.

Coincidentally General's wife opened her eyes at the same moment.

Unaware of the misfortune, she smiled at the General and looked for the baby. She was tired and exhausted so she could only move her head around.

"Dear.." She said with the smile on her lips. Feeling blessed for her family which now was complete.

But soon she started feeling unease by seeing the ashen face of her husband who sat beside her, holding her tightly in his arms.

Feeling something amiss, she started looking for her baby again but couldn't find anyone else in the room.

"Where's the baby?" She asked worried for her newborn child.

The General stood silent, despondent to tell her anything.

"Where's our child?" She yelled being frightened by the thought of something unfortunate happening to her infant.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect our child.." General broke the silence and said with a heavy voice, as if something was stuck in his throat.

Listening to his reply, she passed out.

"Ameira!!" General shouted with concern and tried to wake her up.

"Call the Priestess..!!" He yelled to his servants outside.

Priestess came in running, and started healing her with Aura with the help of some instrument and a wooden staff.

"She has developed a heart knot. Her mind has been clouded with negative emotions and if this continues then she might go to suspended animation." Priestess concluded.

Focusing keenly on her vitals Priestess started her treatment.

Sweat started forming on her forehead while treating the General's wife. The haze around her heart and heart meridian started to fade slowly.

An hour later General's wife woke up from the suspended state.

Tears started falling from her eyes and then she started bawling like a child.

General comforted her by hugging her tightly in his arms.

Priestess stood there hesitant, unable to say anything that could console the couple who had lost their child.

____________________________________

After sometime General's wife asked to see her child.

The couple walked towards the chamber where their child laid.

As soon as they entered, General's wife ran towards the baby and held it in her arms. Trying to revive her child she started pouring her own life-force into the baby.

Life-force is something different from the Aura.

It is something present in every living being and is something that can be manipulated by any Noble family.

She started crying.

"I Am sorry, I failed you my child" . She whispered gently to the baby as if she was cradling the baby to sleep. Her teardrops fell onto the baby's face.

General was pained to see his beloved in this state. But he didn't stop his wife from pouring her life-force and even added his own, to aid his wife.

The life-force that had entered the baby's body was absorbed by the ruby-red bead which was hidden inside the baby's heart.

The bead started swelling and soon became bloated.

Soon after, cracks started appearing in the bead and then it broke out like a cocoon with reddish strands stretching all over the baby's whole body.

_________________________________

The couple were unaware. Engulfed within their own sadness they tried to comfort each other, holding the baby tightly in their arms.

Priestess suddenly felt something. She felt as if there was a whirlpool of aura concentrated around the baby, accumulating 'aura of nature' from the air and sending it to the baby. It seemed impossible to extract natural aura without divine help. But it was happening right before her very own eyes.

The general couple were unaware of the whole commotion. They might have sensed something if they weren't drowned in their sorrow. But soon they stopped trying to revive the child and started dwelling in their own misery that fate seemed to have placed in their life.

Priestess came close to the couple and then started looking carefully at the baby.

The purple colour skin started to slowly fade and slowly blood started flowing through the baby's body.

Soon the paleness faded, replaced by healthy reddish colour.

And suddenly, the baby started crying. Waking the couple up, from their misery.

Both General and his wife were shocked at first and then couldn't hold their happiness.

"Thank you, Goddess,Thank you." The General's wife prayed to the Goddess. And started kissing her child with happiness.

General had a hearty laugh, his arched back once again stretched wide as if he can once again shoulder the weight of the sky.

"Is it a Miracle?" The Priestess mumbled slowly, still confused about the whirlpool of aura she had felt previously.
