Opening my eyes for what feels like was once again the first time was confusing. The blinding light quickly dimmed as my eyes adjusted and what greeted me was a large beautiful black woman. Unable to talk much less move my own body I soon realized that the woman wasn't large but I was now in the body of a baby.
('how is this possible I just went to sleep.....am I transferred to some new world as a fucking baby')
as my mind went into a slight panic mode my baby body began to wail in discomfort. The woman infront my eyes looked to visibly relax after I began to cry and on her face a warm calming smile now appeared.
"Esther....." she called out loudly off to her right.
"Yes my dear " came from the now visible blonde hair woman that was awefuly familiar to me.
" My little baby hear is special. From the moment he was born I sensed no magic from him. Someone like me connected to the very magics of nature and the spirits, for my child to not have a bit of magic is truly a strange phenomenon." the beautiful black woman said with no disdain in her voice but a voice full of curiosity.
She continued " but what is even more is that when he grabs my finger, his little hands glows a bright red, my magic power weakens and I can then feel magic power inside him.....truly strange"
" Ayana, maybe he's a new type of witch or something new and magical all together!" Esther exclaimed visibly excited by what she just heard.
Hearing the information I just did, my brain became even more frantic
('Esther.....Ayana....Magic.....this is the Vampire diaries world! What are the chances of me being born to the Bennet line yet having no magic and as a siphoner...Wait! if that's the case I could be the original heretic and siphoning magic from my own original vampirism should make me able to at least do some high level spells that require a lot of magic. Well those are thoughts for later, right now I don't even know when I'm born I could even be born too late to take part in the ritual. No use stressing over it now') as my thoughts got excited I gave out loud giggles that brought warm smiles from the women present.

*General POV*
In the quietness of the forest a grey eyed little boy can be seen waving his hand slowly in the air and magically making small fireworks appear. The boy is visibly ecstatic about the occurrence and is jumping up and down.
*MC POV*
(' Magic, I just can't get enough. It was a good decision in showing mother I could do magic even if I had to take her grimoire and do a simple spell to she show her.....*shivers* I was not very fond of the spanking and stern discussion but it was worth it since she decided to teach me magic, though the last of my previous pride crumbled ')
"Erik!" turning around I could see my mother Ayana approaching quickly with an angry look on her face.
" Yes mother" I reply with a soft innocent smile on my face.
It visibly works as I see her angry face quickly relax but is once again replaced by a stern look
"What did I tell you about playing in these woods? wolves and other animals roam these very woods you see the need to play in and they do not care in making even children one of their meals!" she exclaimed with a worried expression
Feeling cornered and in trouble I resort to my ultimate form of magic....the puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry mother, I just knew you were resting after healing the village warriors s-so I-I just came out here to practice." I say shedding crocodile tears which seems to work to maximum effect.
She quickly envelopes me in a big hug " O my baby no need to cry, mother is just worried but u need to stop practicing in these woods. Since your so hellbent on practicing magic I will allow u to practice in the hut. Remember though the magic in that talisman around your neck is for emergencies,
not for fun"
She finally releases me " With that being said you will be staying with Esther for awhile while I go visit a neighbouring village to perform my duties....come on let's go."
('Visiting the Mikaelsons was always interesting,
especially interacting with Klaus. The tv shows didn't do this man intelligence justice despite being the same age as me, he's extremely insightful and aware of things. Of course his intelligence wouldn't be appreciated by a barbaric warrior such as Mikael who only knows the sword..... perhaps one day I'll learn how to fight from him ') a small smile grew on my face.
Ayana took me to the Mikaelsons where she had a small talk with Esther and left soon after. Upon her departure I started to search all over in search of Niklaus, luckily Mikael was still at battle for I don't think he'd like me running rampant even if I was a child.
After awhile of searching I found Klaus sitting behind a tree carving a small piece of wood. Seeing me approaching a smile grew on his face.
"Erik, what are you doing here I haven't seen you for weeks." he says as he stops carving momentarily.
I smile back at him and sit beside him to watch him carve
" My mother has duties outside the village to attend to so I will be staying here until she's back"
Hearing me his smile grew even larger "That's great maybe you can show me some more of your magic."
"Maybe you can show me more of your carvings." I say with a smile.
"Deal?" I ask as I extend my pinky
"Deal!" he exclaimed as we seal it of with a pinky promise which I taught him.
Suddenly his wide smile became a sad one as he asked me looking down on his "Erik, in the future will we still be friends?"
Without hesitation I hastily replied "Always!"
startling him in the process to which we both had a good laugh.
