《Reincarnation, the beginning.》Chapter 4 ~Ilis~
Advertisement
Early the next morning, after my meal, I checked my status again and memorized the most important things. Father left before I woke up, he probably went out hunting again. My mother, at this time, was working with leather to create some outfits and bags. Her job is tailoring apparently. I can see that mom is great at what she does. She had a separate room for all her work and products, which I failed to notice before. I only took a glimpse of the furry and leathers clothes piled up in the room.
She often kept glancing back at me, checking if I was near or further away from her. I felt like she was being a little too overprotective. Is she afraid of something? After all, we are surrounded by the wall.
I was wandering around at home, looking at everything. I could see a variety of dried and freshly plucked herbs. The different scents mixed together and a strong smell was permeating the area. Smelly and fragrant, when it flew into my mouth I felt a spicy, bitter and sweet taste.
I sneezed, causing my mother to giggle at me. After some exploring, I spotted a sword leaning on a wall. It looked like a chopper, but with forked tip.
I saw my reflection in the blade. My eyes are green! I didn't saw anybody with this color, could it be part of the blessing?
Nextly, I wanted to touch this chopper, so I moved near it, but mother quickly took me away, saying "Nomeno ui harkajup, tir ti leirith coi". I'm guessing that she said this is dangerous and I can't go near it.
Sadly, It looks like I will have to wait for the day when I’m older to take it in my hands. Just thinking about this made me smile. Mother looked at me and tilted her head, giggling. My grin instantly disappeared. Don't tell me that she knew what that grin meant... her instincts are scary, but at the same time impressive. I will have to be careful in the future if she can see through me that easily. As I was thinking this, she smiled at me. Don't tell me... scary, terrifying, frightening! I didn't expose my feelings, but she went and pat me on the head... EVIL!

I'm bored. I was twirling on the fluffy carpet when someone knocked at our door. My mother opened it and a woman entered. Men and women are easy to distinguish. Women have a more curvy body and smooth skin, while men have muscular bodies and often wear headgear embedded with metal spikes. Oh, and most importantly, males are about a head taller than women.
But back to our guest, she had yellow skin that had a slightly green tinge to it. She was beautiful, but my mother was far more beautiful. I don't know why, but I feel attracted to them even though I used to be human. It probably has something to do with my genes now. +1 to Intelligence and Wisdom, for discovering the reason behind your change in desire for a different species.
Oh... I don't know if I should be happy or not... "Azzarar, confn tenpiswo vur lehhav mrith dout z'ar thurirl". Hearing my name, I turned and started crawling toward them. Mother pointed at a little lizard with yellow skin, hiding behind the older woman. "This is Ilis", I could understand short sentences like that. I hadn’t seen that the lady had brought her child.
Ilis looked at me shyly before hiding behind her mother again. I went to her and started making doing different things, to attract her attention. My mother and the other woman started giggling.
It worked! She started looking at me, as I was twirling on the floor. After a few minutes, she came closer to me. At first, she was a bit shy, but she quickly started to have fun with me. We started playing different games together like tag, rolling together and even had a little wrestling match. Our mothers looked at us while talking and grinning at the same time.
Don't tell me... I feel like I just raised a flag...

Congratulations! You have been engaged to Ilis. +2 to LUCK due to having been engaged before age 2.
It really happened! I don't have anything against it though, even if it is arranged. But we only met today, a day after my birth. Isn't it too quick...? But at least, I finally have a girlfriend, no a Fiancee. This is what I wanted my entire life, a family of my own and someone I could love!
Ilis looked confused for a while. I think she saw the window too, but she smiled right after and jumped on me, rubbing her head against me. Ah... what a nice feeling, wait! She is a newborn child I shouldn't have desires toward newborn children... I forgot I'm a child too, then it doesn't matter, right? I returned her affection too. She then licked me... Woah! I didn't expect that... she embraced me, really bold! But I like it. Our mothers started giggling. It was embarrassing. Ilis snuggled onto me. We laid down on the carpet wrapped together and I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I was already outside with mom. She was smiling at me. I didn't say goodbye to Ilis... It makes me a little sad. I like her, she is so cute, but I don't have any more feelings toward her... yet.
We were walking toward the gates. I thought that we were going to leave so that I could see the outside world, but instead of leaving, we went on to the top of the walls.
At the top, we met a guardian, in full leather armor and a firearm. A firearm!? What is that doing here? I couldn't inspect it any further since my mother took me away. I have to check it out later.
I finally saw what was beyond the walls. A jungle. A jungle filled with swamps! Oh, it will probably be hard to move around in there. Wherever I looked, I saw endless swamps... It works great as a defense against many enemies, but we are all alone because of it. Still, I prefer this lifestyle rather than living in a city, where I can be robbed or killed by bandits regardless of the walls. The people living here in our village are like one big family.
I don't even know if there are any more tribes like us and if they are friendly or not.
Mother took me home after our little excursion.
