《Red Harvest》chapter 1 - Rebirth
Advertisement
Chapter 1 rebirth Where am I? That big Red dragon said I would be reborn so is this what it is like in the womb? It is nice, oddly relaxing, warm and although muffled I can hear voices outside but I have no idea what they are saying. It is a strange concept knowing i’m in my mothers womb, they are a stranger to me and also my mother at the same time. I have only known one mother and while she wasn’t the best mother in the world she still did her best to care for me and in the end I can say i’m truly proud to be her son. I feel sorry for this woman if I hadn’t been her child she would give birth to her own child and they would be able to have a normal relationship which might not be something I can give, though only time will tell. Birth wasn’t that bad of an experience, it was strange and there was a lot of sensory overload, but after everything happened and I calmed down I was handed to the person who I can only assume is my mother. I felt nothing, I am ashamed. I can now clearly see the look of love and care in her eyes as she holds me and sings a lullaby, but I only feel shame and regret, I think I know why he said keeping my memories might not be the best thing. So as I listen to this stranger sing me to sleep I cry. I wake up on my second day in this world filled only with shame the initial excitement I had for being reborn is nearly all gone. Whenever I look to the people I assume are my family the gate breaks and the emotions bottled up in me come crashing out as I cry myself to sleep, it doesn’t help that as I cry the looks on my parents faces make me feel even worse and I just cry harder. Sixth day in this world and i have calmed down now. I have begun to accept the situation i’m in. It seems that my distress has not been unnoticed as my parents seem to have called for a doctor of some kind. An old man in a red clock stood the same height as my father even though he was slightly hunched over and leaned on a red walking stick with a red orb acting as the handle, the man was bald and the only feature that stood out to me was the red bandage that he wore over his eyes. As this was my first time being coherent since my birth I was able to truly look around the room, I currently lay in a old cot and the room itself was mostly stone and wood. Apart from a dresser with a candle, there was a white orb with cloth draped over it to act as a dimmed light hanging from the roof. I turn to look at my parents truly for the first time, my mother stood about an inch or two below my father and had deep red hair, pale skin but what i found most surprising was that her eyes were also deep red, her body was also very defined not to the point of being muscled but it was clear that she trained physically . She seemed to be dressed in relatively nice but medieval clothes which alongside the room i’m currently in made me wonder about the technology level of this world. My father was surprisingly like my mother which made me wonder whether I was a product of incest and given the times I thought I might be living in it was a possibility, as my father also had deep red hair with deep red eyes and pale skin but he had muscles that were prominent and not too big to harm his range of motion. I look back to the old man to find that he is removing his bandage to reveal his eyes. glowing red with golden pupils, fuck even in a fantasy world I don’t think it’s a good think, I quickly look to my parents to see that they are beckoning some sort of response from the old man but he just continues to stare directly into my eyes trying to look even deeper. Fuck, will he be able to see that i’m not some 6 day old baby, will they burn me as some sort of demon spawn, wait judging by his eyes they might kill me because i’m not a demon spawn. My ever dreading train of thought was cut off as I saw him start to smile and turn to my parents whose look of relief wasn’t hidden so I can only assume i’m safe, all is good. I also soiled my pants but it could have been worse, I think. It’s been over a year since I was born here and I now believe my parents were indeed looking for a demon spawn as evidence from my two older siblings, Noah who is 6 and Alice who is 4, both of them love to come and torment me at any possibility, like my parents they also have red hair and eyes. I have found out that I’m called Joseph and I can guess from the house I live in we are a relatively rich family with the surname Moon, with the head of the family being Alex Moon and my mother being Katja Kumar Moon, yes I’m not a product of incest. There are no elders here which leads me to believe that they have passed away, I can’t say if the life expectancy is low or not but my parents seem quite young as well. It turns out that this world is indeed a fantasy world but as an infant I haven’t been able to explore much but judging from the fact I saw my father fight of 10 people moving at inhumane speeds I think my conclusions are correct but for now I will have to wait until i’m older to experience this world.
