《Alamat (Legend)》Act 2: Beginning of a journey; chapter 10: Who am I..?

“At least he will not become retarded.” Even though Lola Yma felt a bit relieved, she couldn't help but frown in contemplation about Lumawig’s situation once he woke up.
“It appears that Sabel will have a brother, but it depends on him if he either becomes the ‘younger brother’ or the older brother.” Sighed Lola Yma as she put her hand on Lumawig’s forehead and started muttering something under her breath. A moment later, the restless Lumawig calmed down and his breathing became steady. Lola Yma then turned around and started to head out.
On the wee hours of the fifth day, the sleeping Lumawig finally opened his eyes. As it was dark, and the only source of light was the moon hanging in the night sky, it took some time for his eyes to adjust.
“Finally awake huh?” An old woman’s voice was heard that sounded like she had been expecting Lumawig’s awakening.
“Who-?! Arrrghh!” Hearing the voice, Lumawig was surprised and suddenly sat right up from lying down. His actions caused a splitting headache which resulted in his suffering, hugging his head with his two hands in an attempt to alleviate the excruciating pain he was feeling.
Seeing the sudden action of Lumawig, lolo Yma immediately put her hand on top of the young man’s head and whispered something under her breath. In just a few moments the splitting headache that tortured Lumawig started to subside.
“Do not make sudden movements. You have just woken up and are still very weak. Do not be afraid, I am not a bad person.” Lola Yma assisted Lumawig to go back lying down and told him of his body’s situation.
“Rest a bit more, and we will talk once the sun has risen.” After saying her piece, Lola Yma walked out of the room.

Hearing the old woman’s words, Lumawig was able to somehow calm down despite not knowing where he was. A few hours later, as the sun started to break away the darkness that covered the sky, a cheerful voice could be heard.
“Heeeey! Kuya! You are awake already? You slept so long, I thought you were dead.” The high-pitched cheerful voice belonged to the young girl Sabel who, for the past few days, would wake up very early to check on Lumawig. Her Lola Yma could only sigh in amusement every time the little girl checked up on Lumawig, she would always ask “Hey kuya, are you dead or not?”.
This morning however, when she woke up, her Lola Yma immediately told her that Lumawig had woken up, thus, the little girl became excited and rushed inside the bedroom where Lumawig is currently.
Hearing the little girl’s high-pitched voice, Lumawig slowly looked towards the source and soon saw a little girl burst into the bedroom. Eyes sparkling, and an excited smile decorating her lips, Sabel immediately ran towards the bed and stared at the now conscious stranger.
“Are you really awake now? You are weird, sleeping for so long! If I did that, my lola would have already pinched my ear and called me lazy!” Somehow, her excitement became a complaint, but her smile did not disappear from her lips; it is evident that she is overjoyed in finding out that Lumawig is now awake.
“Please forgive my apò, she is a really curious and lively child.” At this moment, Lola Yma has also come inside the bedroom. She is carrying a small bowl that contains Aroskaldo – a type of rice and chicken gruel with a heavy ginger flavor.
“Eat this for now so you can regain your strength. We will talk after you are strong enough to get out of bed.” There was a sort of commanding tone in the old woman’s voice, signifying that her words are not up for a negotiation.

Lumawig could only nod his head and obey the old woman’s words. He slowly picked up the spoon given to him and started eating the food he was given. As soon as the food entered his mouth, Lumawig felt that his taste buds came alive and soon he was slurping the Aroskaldo. It only took him a few minutes to finish the bowl of food, and even though he did not yet know who these two people were, he still asked the old woman for a second serving, to which the latter complied.
By evening of the same day, Lumawig is finally able to stand and walk around the room. As he was standing inside the room Lumawig tried to imprint the surroundings on his mind. The room itself is not that big but is still spacious enough to allow two beds to be placed inside. On one corner of the room, a faded brown cabinet that is half a meter taller than Lumawig is located near the entrance. On one of the cabinet’s doors hangs a mirror. There is also a baul placed under the bed he was lying in. At some point after he was brought to Lola Yma’s home, he was transferred inside their bedroom, and the maglola have been sleeping on the makeshift bed where Lumawig was laid down before.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
