《Black Ice》Chapter 2
Advertisement
Darkness, that's all i could see. For some reason after a while i felt my mind returning, however i couldn't feel my body.
I was a floating consciousness that had no destination.
After some time i could finally feel some kind of movement on my body, however it felt off. It was as if it wasn't my body but rather someone else's.
I still couldn't see anything but i could hear things and a bit more freely.
After what felt like an eternity i could finally feel light, as it shone a cry of a baby could be heard. I opened my eyes to be met with a loving gaze by a really beautiful woman. She hugged me, as she started crying. A handsome man was looking from the distance as his eyes were filled with tears. As she struggled to hold me in her embrace, i suddenly felt a sense of loss. As if i just lost something really important to me. The woman started to hold me with less and less force, as she was clearly getting paler by the moment. She smiled gently at me while her tears touched my body.
She breathed her last. The handsome man was about to have a break down as he got hold of me. His tears were flowing down like water, as regret and sorrow could be seen in his eyes. The man hugged me tighter and tighter as he as he was drowning in sadness.
After a while he stopped crying and went close to the womans body. He did something with his hands as the body of the woman turned into dust that formed a cyclone as it slowly entered my body.
I couldn't really make out the details as i wasn't really able to control my body, but i could guess what was going on. I got reincarnated, the woman that died was my current mother and the man crying was my current father.
Even after reincarnation I'm still bringing misfortune wherever i go. Am i cursed? Is my life bound not to be happy? Why did i get reincarnated in the first place and kept my memories at that. Is god playing a game with me? What's with the current situation. How could a body suddenly disappear? Why did my mother die on birth? was she unhealthy? Was it a decease? Who are my parents? What country is this?
As Heise regained his mentality the man took him, cleaned him, covered him with cloth and left the place they were staying at. It was a small wooden cabin that looked like it was build up in just a few days. The man moved at a speed that shouldn't be normal for a human to run. Taking for example usain bolt he is known as the fastest man alive on planet earth, but this man could surpass him without breaking a sweat, as if it was just a walk in the park for him. He carried Heise as he they entered a village. The village seemed to be in the middle of nowhere since it had no road or path that led to it. It was covered with tries all over. The houses seems pretty well made and kind of modern. Kids were running around while the grown up were observing them. Old people stood on pedestals, as a really weird aura emitted from them. What was even weirder was that all the people here had one similarity and that was that some of their body parts were black. Some had their fingers, others their hands, further more there were some that looked normal but somehow had the ability to do inhuman things as well.

As the man walked deeper inside the village more and more people started looking at him, as aggression was clearly in the air. The man still with a solemn expression walked further inside the village as he was met by an ancient Greek style house. He entered with his child on his hands, while slowly taking a deep breath.
"So you decided to come here after all" an aged voice sounded.
"Village chief, My wife gave birth, but she couldn't make it."The man said as his eyes reddened.
A person was seated on his chair, his face full of the passage of time. Although he seemed old, his stature was really stable, putting even man at the age of 20 to shame. He had deep green eyes with hair that reached his elbows. He had a really big and full white beard as he radiated an aura of wisdom. He took a single step and instantly appeared in from of the man.
The man didn't seem surprised as he slowly bowed his head.
The old man nodded as he asked "mind if i see the child?".
The man gently gave the child to the old man. The old man smiled while looking at the child. Although it was just born, an aura of superiority could be felt. The child was sound asleep as it slowly got into a pleasant position to be in. It had a really cute and chubby face. A small mole could be seen on its right cheek, while the hair was black.
The child slowly opened its eyes. A solemn air filled the place as everyone outside felt an aura blasting by.
The old man was shocked as he slowly looked at the child's eyes. He started laughing after a while before handing it over to the man.
"Ah.. little Leng it seems fate has really come to your side. The gods didn't let your family get destroyed that easily. The prophecy of my ancestors was true! Hahahahaha. You can live in the village for as long as you want!" The old man waved him away as he slowly sat back down.
The young man slowly bowed and left the house.
"heh, its been so long since this old man been so happy. Such a good seedling. I just hope that things don't get messy, after all the divine will probably need him in the future, those fuckers from the nether world and the Aether world are going on a rampage again. The gods seem to be in a deep sleep as well" as the old man said this world suddenly he looked at certain direction with a smile.

"So the prophecy is really happening. The scion of death and life are born in the same generation, hahahahaha this is great."
At the same time- Aether
A really old looking angel held a papyrus as he slowly read. He suddenly flinched as he looked below him and smiled.
"Heh so the legends were true, hahahaha. Old devil lets see how you react to this. The life and death scion's, hmmm this gonna be interesting. At least from what i can see the life scion seems to have been born in God city, but i have no clue where the death scion is." As he said those words an order was given to his commanders.
"If there are any movements on the nether side or anything interesting happens in the divine plain message me immediately."
-Nether
An old devil was scrambling a bowl of liquid. Souls could be heard screaming. He slowly lifted the bowl and drank the liquid in one shot.
As he drank the liquid a sharp pain could be felt on his back as he looked upwards.
"So it really is happening, legends from the gods really aren't just myths. I guess this just means fun for me... However something feels weird with their auras. Usually Samsara and Michael don't pick this kind of energies, this is gonna be troublesome." The old demon said while sitting on his chair. Four Pairs of wings suddenly appeared from his back as an aura of a demon king appeared.
~swoosh~ ~swoosh~ ~swoosh~
three demons appeared in front of him. They had different forms, but the one that stood out the most was a humanoid demon that was slowly getting closer to the power of a devil. The other two had the forms of bulls as steam was pouring out from their noses.
The demon king smiled as he ordered "Lucifer take Rorzath and Jorgumon and head to the divine plain and find information about the scion's, you have as much time as you want as long as you find information about them."
The 3 demons bowed their head as the Two bull demons left. The humanoid stayed behind as he clearly wanted to ask something.
"What's the matter Lucifer? is there a problem?" the demon king asked.
"No father, its just that I don't think I'm fit to become the next demon king..." The humanoid demon said.
"Ah... here we go again. Son you do realize that you have most of my potential and your talent is even greater than mine. If you aren't going to be the ruler of the nether world then who is it going to be?" The demon king rebutted.
"But father, i really don't feel like the role belongs to me. I'm not fit to rule the nether" Said Lucifer.
"Is it because of that one time?" The demon king said.
Lucifer lowered his head while silence spread through the room. ~sigh~ A deep sigh could be heard as the demon king got up and patted Lucifer's shoulder while saying " Don't let it bother you. It was just a mistake by my part, don't let it haunt you for the rest of your life. You should move one from the past and look ahead." as he walked away.
