4th month ─ YD 982- Equinox, MD, 45.
The mission has been successfully completed.
The princess has been safely returned to Orion Castle, much to the delight of her parents and siblings. We are currently heading back home, but my sister has expressed interest in purchasing a souvenir from the Magus Empire in the west, where witches and wizards reside. This empire is also known for its former mortals who can possessed the enchantment, one of capability, and had a bloodline power called [Doll], it was their ability.
The castle itself is immense and shrouded in darkness, comprised of towering structures including tree houses.
The road leading to it is made of seamless stone blocks, with lush grass and trees lining its sides.
The neighboring border of the Orion Empire is a forest.
While waiting for my sister, I decided to venture into the forest to enjoy the fresh air and utilized the power of levitation. After a short while, I noticed a figure running in the distance.
"....A child? What's the reason for her frantic running? No one seemed to be chasing her. "
Suddenly, she tripped.
"Shadow monster?!" I exclaimed in fear.
The shadow monster approached her, and surrounded her.
These shadow, which are essentially spirits of the deceased, possess an unwillingness to accept their own demise.
─3rd POV
I found myself seated in a secluded corner of the sidewalk, actively searching for sustenance in order to survive.
It was at this point that I came to the realization that my parents had forsaken me due to my blindness, deeming me worthless.
Upon reaching the age of seven, I experienced a profound surprise as I began to perceive the fluidity of their energy fields.
My perceptual abilities were limited to sensing my immediate environment and tracking movements.
I dedicated myself to refining my ability to imitate others' work, leading me to the discovery that my skills were limited to summoning, one of capability.
Until I encountered a certain race who extended an invitation to join their organization.
I have always dutifully followed their instructions, up until the present moment. However, on a recent day, I learned something that deeply unsettled me.
...If only I had known from the beginning that there were virtuous people present, I would not have engaged in these regrettable matters.
Upon turning nine years old, I made the decision to escape the clutches of this unsavory association.
I am uncertain of my destination; all I desire is to distance myself from their influence.
"Haaa."
The atmosphere of the forest was chilling, causing my tired body to gasp for air as I ran.
"Hya!
In that moment, I stumbled as I detected an abnormal movement.
I gazed around my surroundings, although all I could perceive was an expanse of darkness. A peculiar flow of mana caught my attention. From a distance, I observed the presence of mana.
To my despair, I discerned that the ominous creature lurking within the forest was gradually drawing near to my location.
....The mere touch of these creatures would lead to my demise, transforming me into one of them.
"N-No!"
My reserves of mana had depleted, leaving me unable to summon any further.
"...Is this the end?"
In this dire circumstance, I pondered if this was to be my fate.
"I see. ...this was the penalty for my past transgressions, a manifestation of the consequences of my wrongdoings."
The reminiscing about my past innocence and unfamiliarity with the ways of the world.
Even so, I'm afraid to die.
...I wished to refrain from endangering myself any further.
I yearned for a serene and spacious abode, devoid of turmoil.
Just like others, I desired a loving family who would accept me as their own child.
...My longing was for happiness itself.
/Whoosh!
Suddenly, a gust of wind rustled behind me, catching my attention.
/Zap
A swift motion, a burst of lightning emerged, purifying the encroaching shadows.
I turned around, compelled to uncover the source of these occurrences.
"─Who's there?"
Have they followed me?
I-I-I-I'm done for. ...I-I'm scared.
The figure gradually approached me, sending shivers down my spine.
"AAUUHAHGUUWAAAAHHHH─"
An anguished cry escaped from my lips.
"There, there, don't cry. It's okay now."
Suddenly, a calming voice interjected,
The soothing tone resonated in my ears, and to my astonishment, the owner of the voice turned out to be a girl.
I was saved? I was being carried by her? ...It was the first time someone held me in their arms and comforted me.
I let out a whimper.
"Child, why are you here?"
"...I ran away from bad people."
"....I see, where are your parents?"
"I don't have parents."
"... What's your name?"
"I don't have a name, but they call me blind."
"".........""
Did she suddenly go silent because I am blind? I felt a wave of disappointment.
She was the first person to show me kindness and I didn't want her to let me go.
"...Please, please don't abandon me. I'm begging you─"
I desperately pleaded, and my words were cut short as I began to cry.
Throughout my struggles to survive, she had been there for me.
I clung to her tightly, hoping she would understand my need for her. As I reached out with one hand, my other hand still holding onto her neck, I touched her face and noticed that her cheeks were wet. Another whimper escaped my lips.
...Was she crying?
"I'm Rin von Avila Craig-Ueno. From now on, I will be your mother. Is that okay with you?"
She asked softly, I didn't expect this, and my wish had come true. Is God watching me?
"Yes! I am so happy!"
Tears streaming down my face, I managed to respond, with a smile formed on my lips for the first time.
"Thank you for accepting me─ hic," I said through hiccuping breaths.
In that moment, I felt a glimmer of hope and believed that with her by my side, I could overcome anything.
"I am pleased to have encountered you."
"I share the same sentiment─"
Out of the blue, she bestowed a kiss upon my forehead.
"─Hoh..."
I did not anticipate such an action. It is the first instance in which someone has made physical contact with me.
I am shedding tears once again.
While I was still nestled in her embrace, she held me tight. Simultaneously, I made a feeble sound as drowsiness overcame me.
I was both fatigued and relieved, as I express my gratitude for accepting me as I am.
I am overjoyed.
The surroundings are enveloped in darkness.
"Are you there?"
"Yes, I am here."
I drifted off to sleep while resting my head upon her shoulder.
￣ ￣ ￣
We only just met.
Your emotions were undoubtedly uncontrollable, but they hold the utmost significance. I comprehend everything.
I never expected to experience such emotions, and it appeared inconceivable for someone like her to endure problems, conflicts, depression, and discord.
I have come to the realization that she has faced numerous hardships. It must be an arduous journey for you. It appears to be a formidable task.
....I will love you with every fiber of my being.
I never wish to cause you harm and I want nothing more than to see you happy at all times.
You are secure in my presence, and I will take care of you, I will never abandon you.
If you ever engulfed by darkness once more, I'll exert all efforts to rescue you from its clutches.
Just rest assured, I will remain vigilant in tending to your well-being.
The sight of the incessantly weeping infant is undeniably endearing, and she is currently sleeping well and possesses a delicate and slender physique. Her hair is of a black hue and exhibits wavy bangs, while her eyes display a distinctive white coloration.
I made an attempt to treat her eyes earlier, but my efforts proved ineffective.
Afterward, I proceeded to visit Arcadia land.
Upon my arrival, my sister, who had been anticipating my presence, displayed surprise upon witnessing me carrying a child.
I divulged all the details to her, leading to her experiencing an inconsolable emotional state, and told her I have decided to take in the child as my own through adoption.
Despite my sister's desire to hold the child, she
is currently in a state of slumber. if I were to place her on the bed, she would awaken, and find me, and resume crying.
The child's previous smile possessed a remarkable beauty and an enchanting quality.
