Chapter 2: Love
Gorgeous red and gold drapes were drawn open, inviting warm rays of sunlight to shine down towards the trio sitting upon the bed.
Amabella glanced down, a slight frown forming as she observed her sweaty and blood soiled body.
Cedrick caught this small movement and gingerly took Auslen from her arms while calling for Diana.
Placing Auslen into Diana's outstretched hands, Cedrick stood up and turned to the now smiling Amabella.
Vast amounts of green, white, and gold motes of light burst out from Cedricks pores, spreading out around him dazzlingly before gathering onto his injured wifes filthy figure.Follow current novels at novelhall.comabellas eyes brightened as she felt renewed energy filling her body that was previously exhausted from childbirth and her small temper tantrum. Her cheeks whitened and her sweat dissipated. Even the blood that stained her beautiful, gold trimmed white robes was completely cleansed away.
The multicolored light began to fade, revealing the satisfied Amabella whose body looked pure and unblemished, not at all resembling a woman who had given birth just a few moments before.
She alighted from the bed with supernatural grace before walking to Diana to hold the still sleeping Auslen once again in her arms.
Turning to Cedrick, her pink lips opened in question, Is the Body-Nourishing Pool ready?
Cedrick nodded shortly, placing his hand at the small of her back as he led her through the door and into the large hallway, making their way to the Nourishing Chamber.
After entering an underground facility within the main palace grounds, the couple passed many cultivators that were guarding various entryways and corridors before arriving at a set of imposing black stone doors.
In front of the black doors, four Foundation Establishment cultivators stood there as sentries. They were covered in silver armor and black robes, with long decorated sabers hanging from their hips.
The sentries bowed briefly before turning to face the doors with their hands raised. Glyphs poured from their fast moving, gauntlet covered fingertips, causing the dense patterns that covered the set of black doors to glow brightly.
After a few moments, the large doors gradually opened, revealing a completely black stone room. In the center, a small pool full of milky white liquid could be seen from the entrance.
Cedrick and Amabella walked in, and the doors immediately shut behind them to best preserve the liquid contained within.
Crystals that aligned the walls began to shine, filling the room with soft light as they made their way to the center.
Amabella parted from her husbands side as she walked to the side of the white pool, kneeling down in contemplation as she gently unwrapped the cloth that covered Auslen.
Remind me, how long was our eldest son able to absorb the Body-Nourishing Elixir for?
Cedrick tilted his stiff face slightly in thought.
His soft yet deep voice reverberated in the stone room, A little more than two minutes. He should have had around twenty Soul Force points as a newborn.
Amabella hummed softly while she carefully placed Auslen into the Body-Nourishing Elixir. Once she removed her hands, she noticed the Elixir being sucked quickly into the floating childs pores, which brought a tender smile to her face.
Behind her, Cedricks head gave a small nod at the sight before he closed his eyes in wait.
Although the unconscious Oliver was unaware of his current situation, the transformations occurring within his body did not cease.
The Body-Nourishing Elixir trickled into his newborn body, as if his body was a desert experiencing rain for the very first time.
Milky white condensation traveled through his blood stream, nourishing his muscles, ligaments, and bones. However, the vast majority of the liquid flowed straight to his head.
Tiny veins rippled as vast amounts of liquid traveled into his brain, feeding and protecting the feeble organ that had continuously failed to keep up with his mature thought-streams.
Hints of sparkling white began to appear on his brain, resembling the purest of white jades. The vast amount of activity around his brain even caused his sparse golden brown locks to thicken and grow at noticeable speeds.
The changes his body was experiencing did not show any signs of ceasing.
He could feel that his thoughts flowed even smoother than in the prime of his previous life!
Unnatural strength seemed to incomprehensibly fill every inch of his day-old body. He even felt the need to glance down at his body to reassure himself that he didnt once again die and reincarnate during his nap.
As he was looking down at his wiggling toes, he felt someone move next to him, causing his small eyes to glance to the left. Beautiful blue eyes once again filled his vision.
However, instead of the pure love that previously filled those pools of blue, complicated emotions of concern and worry became the most pronounced.
Oliver fell into a period of slight confusion.
Did something happen when I fainted earlier?
Or is it because Im not acting baby enough?
Oliver had the misfortune of fathering three needy triplets. And those triplets heartlessly gave him a total of eight needy grandchildren. He unfortunately knew all too well how a baby should be acting.
Ignoring the small pang of sadness that appeared at the thought of his family, Oliver let out the most adorable, toothless smile that he could muster, considering the exceedingly unusual circumstances.
Luckily, the effects were immediate. The womans eyes squinted in amusement at the sight of his gums.
She sat up energetically and gently picked him up. She then excitedly recited a singular foreign word to him repeatedly, as if afraid that he wouldnt understand.
Hmm? Auslen? Sounds somewhat masculine. Is that my new name?
Wait, is this woman really attempting to get a day-old baby to remember their name?
At the thought of this new name of his, the pang of sadness that he previously tried to ignore returned with intensity.
He had truly lost everything, and it had happened far sooner than he had anticipated.
His house that he worked so hard to pay off was gone. The money he had been saving for 40 long years was gone.
Even his family, which he thought he couldnt stand the sight of, was suddenly and permanently separated from him.
Complicated emotions filled his thoughts as he half-heartedly played baby with the woman in front of him.
However, those negative feelings dissipated as suddenly as they came, a calm and collected mentality quickly replacing them.
Oliver was very familiar with adapting to sudden changes. Through every obstacle, through every loss, he had managed to survive and eventually thrive time and time again. Even though the current situation was somewhat incomprehensible, at its core, it was nothing all that unique.
Besides, as a newborn, he now had far more time than he had previously. His dream of a peaceful, unrestrained life was still in sight.
Curiosity began to bloom in his heart as thoughts of all the possibilities this new life had to offer ran wild in his head. However, they were quickly interrupted due to the womans incessant babbling. Her previously amused face was now tinted with worry.
Sighing silently to himself, he looked deeply at her beautiful face, memorizing every curve and every corner, internally giving in to the fact that she truly was his mother in this new life of his.
Ok, I can accept this.
From now on, you will be my mother.
And I will be your son Auslen.
After just another moment of silent acceptance, Auslens face arranged itself into a truly genuine smile, unlike anything he had produced in recent memory.
After opening his small, toothless mouth, he babbled an unintelligible mixture of syllables that sounded both a bit similar and nothing at all like Auslen.
But it did not matter.
His mothers previously worried face brightened so much that he swore he could see specks of light swirling within her cheeks. She giggled as she hugged Auslen close, engulfing him in a waterfall of long golden strands.
