Chapter 1 Beginnings
The small boy started to wail at mid day and Professor Ghast ran up the stairs to tend to him. He rocked the cradle and checked his diaper, It couldn't be that he wants food, I just fed him five minutes ago. He looked at the baby indistress and ran his hand through his hair. What is wrong with him? The baby began to cry even louder and also began to kick, the cradle shuddered with the assault. He didn't know what else to do so he screamed at it.
"Gideon Gainsborough stop this nonsense immediately!"
The baby hollered on almost driven to cry by something. On a massive alter hundreds of miles away a girl was rammed through by an evil sword and the baby heard her prayer, a small pale green object popped out of her long brown hair and bounced freely down a set of piers. The baby's crying picking up the farther away the green orb moved from it's still master until finally it struck the surface of a deep pool of water and dropped to the bottom like a rock. When it struck the water the baby abruptly stopped crying and dozed off to sleep.
Professor Ghast looked in shock as the baby slept peacefully its small chest rising and falling with the peaceful respite of sleep. He sighed, I almost thought I had a real problem on my hands. He started to walk downstairs but stopped at the top of them and turned and looked at the blue and white cradle.
"Sweet dreams Gid…" he whispered softly.
He started down the stairs then felt his head, it was wet, he brought his hand down and stared blankly at the blood on it then he toppled down the stairs. A woman came running to the bottom of the steps and dropped to her knees, she cried as the baby slept peacefully in his cradle up-stairs…The woman wept and the baby slept, Professor Ghast was dead.
Two small tears ran down the baby's cheeks unchecked.
Two months later…A woman walked through the market bundled in a winter jacket and mittens carrying a baby on her back also bundled like an Eskimo. She weaved in and out of people trying not to bump into them, rushing to the fruit vender. She looked down at the list she had in her mittened hand
Papaya
Guava fruit
Bananas
Oranges
All of the things a growing boy needs. She stopped at the fruit table and picked out bunches of the fruits listed. She walked up to the merchant and stared to haggle with him. The baby giggled and blew a snot bubble and watched it float off and pop on someone's back. He blew another and this time reached out a chubby little hand and popped it himself, he giggled again.
The woman pulled out a money pouch and paid the man and hurried off. She stopped suddenly in front of the weapons store. She peered in the window at the array of glistening swords and guns. She chanced a look at the baby on her back, he giggled, and she smiled at him. She hurried into the store and came out with a big grin on her face and walked home.
He'll to be able to protect himself when he's older, I'll give it to him when the time is right. She continued home down the icy sidewalk without stopping.
