Once again Azreal was in a world enveloped by darkness, looking down he couldn't even see his own hands and feet nothing but utter darkness.

Being in this place felt like he was actually in pain, he knew it wasn't really pain just a memory of what happened the first time when Maseru came for him.

But here felt different it felt oddly comfortable.

Slowly the darkness started lifting he was once again in his hometown, his mother and a man whose face he could not see where coming from the supermarket.

"Careful sweetheart, remember there's two of you in there"

His mother seemed incredibly happy, her smile big and bright, her eyes were brimming with life and love as she looked at her stomach.

She couldn't help but gently rubbing her stomach through the fabric of her maternity dress, smiling brightly.

"My baby"

She whispered under her breath, her eyes began to water a bit as she continued to rub her stomach.

When the man saw she was crying he quickly dropped the bags he was carrying and ran over to her.

"Hey, Hey what's wrong why are you crying"

His mother looked up at the man and started crying even more and so the man started panicking trying his best to make her laugh.

Watching the man she loved becoming so flustered she couldn't couldn't help but laugh.

"You idiot I'm not sad, it's just that we're gonna be having a baby soon, our own baby and every time I think about it I get so happy and can't help thinking about the future, her first birthday, reading her bedtime stories, her first birthday….I want all of us to experience that together"

As his mother spoke she used her hand to slowly wipe away her tears, gently the man took hold of bother her hand and kissed both her eyes then using his thumb to wipe away the tears.

Right after he dropped to his knees and kissed her stomach, from his knees he looked up at her with a loving smile.

"I never want either of my queens to cry"

When she heard this she started laughing at the man.

"You're so cheesy!"

Watching her laughing the man laughed as well.

"Maybe a little…"

"Haha, a little? ahh you dropped the bags the eggs must be broken now"

"Ahhh!! Sorry I didn't even pay attention I'll go check it now"

.....

While all of this played out Azreal stood to the side and observed everything only having a reaction when they kept saying the child was a girl.

'That man should be my father, but why does mom keep saying her? Were they hoping for a girl or something?'

As they left parking lot everything changed again.

His mother was lying on the delivery table with the doctor standing in front of her yelling 'push'.

His father stood beside her holding her hand tight for comfort and no matter how hard she squeezed his face didn't once, while Azreal, on the other hand, looked away.

Who would really sit in a room and watch themselves being born, everything about it felt wrong. So he didn't turn around until he heard a baby crying.

"Congratulations! It's a beautiful girl!"

'What the fuck!?'

Azreal was well aware that this was an illusion of some sort but every single cell in his body was telling him to continue watching despite his confusion, so from the beginning, he didn't try to find a way out.

The little girl was born with a full head of black hair, and when she opened her eyes they were multi-colored just like her mothers.

When the man saw this he became ecstatic, he even began dancing in the delivery room from the joy he feeling, if the doctors hadn't asked him to leave he'd probably still be there dancing.

Looking a the little girl in the woman's hand Azreal was surprised to see that she looked a lot like him but as a girl.

Once again though everything changed and now they were standing in front of his old school, the little girl had a beaming smile on her face as the ran through the gates.

"See you later mommy, bye bye daddy"

"Bye bye Azraela"

By the time Azreal was the little girl's age his father had long since died but here the man was still alive and the couple seemed to be deeply in love, it was so different from what he was familiar with.

Several more of these scenes flashed past, the couple had another child a little boy who they named Conrí, Azreal couldn't see the boys face just like the man.

As these flashed by soon did time move forward, the little girl got to high school, then the little boy, shortly after that the little girl got married and had a family of her own, her brother, on the other hand, took a little bit longer, along the way he stumbled a bit but they never abandoned him.

Just like that he watched the couple build a beautiful life together and die of old age, even in death they weren't separated, they were buried right beside each other in front of a huge tree in forest behind the town.

As Azreal watched all of this play out a painful thought dawned on him.

'Is this what his parent's life would be like if he hadn't been born?'

Did he ruin their lives?

....

"You're awake"

Maseru looked around for the source of the voice, Enron was kneeling in front of him.

"Only temporarily, I only woke up because it seems like my Grandson is going—well trying to break my seal"

His was soft and groggy like he wasn't fully awake, his entire body was still surrounded by the roots, only his head was free.

"That shouldn't be possible based on his current strength, Shall I go retrieve him?"

Hearing Enron's response Maseru started laughing.

"Haha, why isn't it possible? The only reason I added that seal was so he'd have an easier time adjusting to this realm, imagine if I didn't, a normal human today then in a world that defies all logic the next. His mind would've shattered into a million pieces hahaha"

"His body, as is was my design everything was built as one, so if he tries to change it, his entire body will have to change to accommodate it, and this first thing to go will be my seal, I never expected it to happen this soon, my original intent was that it would happen if or when he becomes a Name True God and his body gets reborn at that point he'd be able to see the universe with new eyes so removing the seal wouldn't affect him then"

Sigh.

"If all things go as planned it would be boring wouldn't it a few surprises are always good and as for retrieving him? If he has the balls to discard my protection then let him suffer."
