Genesis, A New Creation

A Mortal?

-Chapter 4-

Segata Jabo holds the young boy in his arms and his wife comes up to him, her hair much more clean and taken care of then before she had their son and he smiles at her “Tell me, why do you think the God of Order came and named our son…?” She shrugs and gently takes him out of Segata Jabo arms and says “I don't know but it seems we are blessed.” Segata Jabo nods looking up at the blue sky and says “yeah...I guess so my love.” He continues with only “I guess so….” his voice seems to fade into the air and the wind blows.

As Segata Jabo aged along with his wife, Nocte grew by the time of his first birthday he was already 34 inches tall and could walk. Time passes but Segata Jabo was shocked but he quickly learned how to speak quite easily and every night the boy would end up outside and his father would sit next to him, His eyes were a deep blue as if the Goddess of the sky had blessed him as we'll. Segata Jabo slowly began to teach the boy how to read and write, Segata Jabo would end up looking for the boy one day on his ninth year and would find him by a river and he came up to his son with a book “Hey, Nocte you got a moment I would like to speak to you” The boy looked away from river and nodded “Of course, What is it?” Segata Jabo just said plainly “Come, follow me” Nocte followed Segata Jabo through the forest and they ended up back at their home and Segata Jabo sighed and thought “At least the drought has long since passed, It seems the Gods have blessed us with many great harvests and weather as we have been able to live quite comfortably for a while now…” he thought to himself as he was about to sit but Nocte spoke “Father, You seem happy what is it?” Segata Jabo looks at his boy and smiles and says “Sit down on that log, take this book with you.” Nocte complies and takes the book from Segata Jabo and sits on the log.

Segata Jabo kneels down next to his son and says “Open it.” Nocte opens the first page and Segata Jabo is about to explain what it is and Nocte speaks first, cutting him off and shocking Segata Jabo, “It's a book.” He looks at the index and seemingly reads through it and flips to the first page and reads out “Prolog, The Creation of the world.” Segata Jabo stares at his son and does not know what to say and Nocte closes the book and says “Father, I already know more than this book about the Gods and how the world was created.” Segata Jabo laughs a bit and then says “Alright if that is the case then what are the names of the Gods and-” Nocte cuts him off again listing them “Saara, Ata, Athys, Aurora and Fenrich all of whom work together most of the time to guide the mortal nations” Segata Jabo son never ceases to surprise him and he coughs into his hand and he just looks away and stands up smiling and says “Truly we are blessed to have you my son.” Nocte shrugs and says “Whatever you say father, But if I may ask.” Segata Jabo looks at his son with curiosity and says “Go ahead, i'm listening.” Nocte then looks down at the floor picking up a rock and asks “When will we be able to go to the capital?” Segata Jabo laughs and says “Soon my son, You already are quite an intelligent and tall boy. I'm sure you will be able to go on your fifth birthday. Maybe if you're lucky the Emperor will take kindly to you and offer you something when you grow up.” he says with a smile but his son seems to not react and looks at the rock and then asks “How does a person control their magical powers?” It's a weird question but Segata Jabo does not really know how to answer as he has none himself, neither did his wife before she died a few months ago.

_-Several Years Pass-_

-Saara-

As Saara sits alone in her private quarters, she is sitting on a purple leather couch with wooden armrests and gold trimmings on it's legs. She crosses one leg over the other and places a hand under her chin to support her head as she goes deep into thought. Her room was covered in purple drapes and paint, with many luxuries some nations could ill afford but Ata’s concerns were something she even herself could not comprehend it had been nine years since he told her about the boy and to keep an eye on him, though she didn't understand but she did find him quite special. Her tail flicked against her chair causing a loud crackle sound that seemingly echoed in the empty room, she looked at the chair but it was not damaged, surprisingly the other one she did that too almost broke instantly. She smiled and went back to thinking about the boy, she closed her eyes and her smile stayed as she saw vivid images of the boy, even him so young she found him so interesting. The boy was named by her brother which did gave him increased strength, speed endurance and much more but this boy was already more intelligent than most nobles in her brothers Empire that he didn't even rule. Most of her siblings ruled their respective kingdoms or Empires, we'll...not Aurora she made a city state where elvin people lived. Aurora seemed to be quite fond of them for some reason though she didn't know why, but she never questioned her siblings choices as if needed she could always beat them in a fight. She had only ever done it once, though it was not against her kin but rather a demon...she had to slaughter thousands, she cringed at the thought of the memory but her mind drifted from that thought back to the boy.

She had no idea why she felt him so special to her but she wanted to grab him and hold him away from the dangers of the world, Wrapping her tail around him and making her sure he can't be harmed. She began to blush as she shook her head left to right and pushed her face into her hands and said “What am I thinking?! Ugh….” her tail was at this point hitting the wooden floor with a thunk as it wagged and she stood up “I need to see him again...at least a glimpse..yes..just to make sure he's okay, Nothing more..” she could feel her face was flushed but she didn't care, She put out her hand and closed her eyes using the trick her brother taught her she said “The Forest of Juna, near the manor of the low born noble family of Iduna from the Empire Neoya, Gate.” and like that a burst of wind came through the portal and she looked it had red trimmings and she could see through and their was a forest. She put her foot through that portal then her body and the gate closed behind her, Then she gently tracked through the forest and climbed one of the larger tree’s and there she saw him, the boy that Ata named, Nocte. The name suited him, black hair blue eyes, his clothes were also black most of the time but he did wear white sometimes and she watched his father point at some targets and say something but she couldn't hear what. Then Nocte nodded his head and opened his palm aiming at the targets with his palm, Air seemingly began to converge into it as he compressed it and it lit up like the sun but turned blue he then threw the ball and it soared through the air with a sound of cracking air and then it hit the target blowing up with such a force that even she felt the gust of wind and when she looked at the boy he put up a shield to block him and his father, A Magic shield clearly layered but it was weak as the boy seemed to struggle to keep the force from breaching it.

Though when it was done his shield disappeared into golden dust that seemed to hang in the air then fizzles away and he fell to his knees breathing heavy, Saara looked at his magical energy and saw he had used barely any but his aura was quite loose and a light blue color showing he had much more energy left then just that but he clearly has only just started using magic, but to have that much destructive power requires knowledge of that she and her siblings knew. She had called it the knowledge of the Gods, it was the basic understanding of physics,chemicals and much more to mix them and to use them in magic as magic was merely the power to shape and bend the laws of the universe to their will, yet this boy knew not only how to compress the air but to use hydrogen, compress it at such an extent that fusion occurs and throws it allowing all the energy to escape and blow up with such a force that anyone to close would be vaporized.

Though she felt an urge to just jump down from the tree and help the boy, She resisted it and watched as his father clearly impressed patted his back in support and spoke to the boy, though even straining her ears she could not hear him. She grunted a bit and the boy stood and turned from his father clearly wanting to be alone. He walked into the forest...closer and closer to her position.
