{MY BABY}
It wasn't a chime…
No..
It wasn't a simple notification…
It wasn't a simple writing in the atmosphere or in the air or in reality…
No…
It was a voice..
A voice so tender and filled with such motherly warmth…
So much warmth and affection that made you feel loved and cared for and protected…
So much warmth that made you feel at home whenever you heard it…
It was a mother's voice…
And so when Dindu heard this voice…
Drip!
A tear drop fell from his eyes….
He knew…
Since the moment he arrived in this world.. he had always felt a presence.
Watching…
Protecting…
Caring….
Make no mistakes..
Dindu has lived a reckless life..
All to fuel his courage and gain achievements no normal awakened could even dream of..
He had felt like it was his own plot armor getting him out of ridiculous situations that could and well should've killed him…
Authority of self had no business saving you from an exalted rank beast…
But it wasn't..
And now..
Hearing this voice..
The motherly warmth…
He now knew what plot armor he'd been abusing since child….
The same one he used to walk around hylea with his nose high…
A mother's love…
For in this voice, he could hear a protectiveness perhaps even more severe than Seraphina, his mother..
And that… That is something else…
{My wonderful boy}
{You have grown up beautifully}
The voice rang out again..
Only he could hear it…
The world, the universe, all of existence had been frozen over for this conversation to hold…
And perhaps on 2 people were privileged enough to be capable of moving in this frozen time..
And Dindu's reply came instinctively
"Mother"
{I am here my child}
"Who.. what are you… I have always felt you.. but no matter how much I searched.. how much I seeked you out.. just to say how thankful I am for your love these past eighteen years.. you've been elusive.
Tell me mother.
I wish to see you.
I call you mother.
I feel your love.
And yet I cannot see you.
It aches my heart"
He said with emotions overflowing..
For someone who cherished love and affection..
Not being able to see this wonderful entity that has cradled him since birth was heavy on his heart..
How did he know the owner of this voice was his mother and not something else?
Pure instinct..
As a bonafide mama's boy, he couldn't get the feeling wrong, even in his sleep…
{HEHEHEHE… my baby is so cute!!}
The voice squealed!!
Not something you'd expect from something this old and timeless..
{do not be disheartened my child.
Mother is just exhausted and currently resting.
After all, I gave all I had just to make sure my babies were given the best foundations possible..
You and your baby brother, are My, Primordial chaos' greatest and most beautiful creations..
My first and second born children.
Destined to rise to the top..}
Dindu listened quietly, at the mention of a baby brother he couldn't help buddy raise his brows..
Yes..
That's what got him intrigued..
Not the notion that Primordial Chaos just called him her child..
Primordial Chaos!!!..
It was there before even existence began…
It was the beginning before the before..
What should have been merely a concept..
But now.. this same primordial chaos just said she had a baby, and that baby was him..
But no.. that wasn't what got his interest..
Almost as if, he was saying
"Yea of course I'm her child..
You think human genetics could birth something this awesome?"
(A raging narcissist too huh?)
"My baby brother, where is he?
How do I find him?" Dindu asked..
{HEHE… worry not child, he is out there, somewhere, in the wider cosmos, undergoing his own trials..
if fate wills it, and it will.
Then you shall come across one another soon..
Be..Sure…To…Take…Care of him}
"Mother?"Dindu asked out loud.
{Alas…. My time is almost up..
My powers… still weak…
One last gift before I go}
A crack opened up in the sky above him, an eye shaped tear.
And from it, a thick drop of dark golden blood, with deep obsidian purple flashes of lightening twisting around it fell…
It's weight so heavy it was pressing hylea down.
{My Personal…. Creation…
You… Use…. Well}
the voice of primordial chaos cracked and faded… but not without one last word..
{Mother is proud of you}
Silence…
Everything went silent once more..
And in that stillness, with everything frozen in time…
Only Dindu remained, lost in thought and feeling a heavy weight in his chest…
He could still feel her presence, after all existence couldn't work without her..
But now, he could tell she wasn't conscious..
Just a semi-conscious will overseeing all of creation..
Sigh
"Just how much energy did you consume in our conception, mother?
But worry not, you baby will make you proud.
And if ever I come across my brother, I'll be his fiercest protector.
But as for now, let the world witness my magnificence"
And with that final word…
The world resumed..
Existence was unpaused..
And the Dark golden drop of blood finally landed on his forehead, and what followed..
Rumbleeee!!!!
Hylea shook violently!!!!
A\N: things are about to start picking up speed..
Time to get to the actions..
If you're still here..
