Prologue: The millennium- child

Alternative Universe, Earth 007, 31st December 2000, 23h50.

"HYAAAA!"

A woman was suffering, trying to give birth to her child, who was not supposed to come for another two months. It was hard for her to do so just five minutes after the plane she had been travelling had crashed. Her husband had been killed on impact.. But she wanted to live, to see the smile on the baby's face, to know if the so-desired child was a girl or a boy. She was lying on a fire circle and the contractions became more frequent.

Another contraction…

She saw a white dragon approach her and lay a young man's body near her. His face was familiar to her but she couldn't remember it. The Dragon looked at her, she guessed that it was sad too when she saw his eyes. Then she heard his voice in her head.

1.1 "You're hurting…"

"Of course I am!" She yelled, "I'm trying to give birth to my child!"

1.2 "You know that you both are going to die…"

"Liar!!!" she cried as another contraction came. "O sky, gods can't be so cruel!"

She cried more, knowing that she must be dying if she was speaking with this kind of creature. But she had no fear of the dragon, because she remembered something from her lost past.

"Please Dragon Lady! Save my child!"

Another contraction…

1.3 "This isn't your wish, this is fate…"

She looked at the dragon and at the man laid on the ground, her blood brother. A light appeared out of his head , touched her and then went to her stomach. The dragon disappeared. She could feel the child's movement before another contraction made her lose consciousness.

The rescuers were coming; they found the lifeless body of her husband sprawled on the ground. They quickly realised that he had died during the crash and decided to look for other passengers, but they doubted that anyone had survived.

They heard the sound of the bells far away in the distance. It was midnight, the new millennium. Then they heard a child's cry, near a dead woman, they saw the baby coming into world, a light symbol on his forehead. The oldest rescuer approached and took the baby girl in his arms, as the light disappeared. Around her neck, she had a pink pendant and seeing the smile on the woman's face, he knew that it was her last, and only, present to her little girl.

"Boss, we haven't found any survivors. We called the airport, they said the woman was going to have a baby in two months, that's horrible."

"They're not all dead, the baby is alive" he looked at her in the moon light, " born with the new millennium, I shall call you Millennia…"

The baby smiled at the old man before falling asleep.
