The Second Life

It was a dark and cold stormy night in Nuoding city.

As I was walking back from the forest I heard a crack of thunder loud enough to shake the earth I was walking on.

I got closer to the exit of the forest I started to see a destroyed carriage.

I started walking to it as I got closer I seen the driver with a dagger stabbed into his heart and a young woman who couldn't be no older than 25 she had blood running down mouth hugging a towel in her arms.

I screamed out "WHAT HAPPENED HERE!"

She looked at me coughing out blood speaking in hushed whispers

"I was attacked by the driver on my way into the city he tried to (cough) kill my child and sell me into slavery (cough...cough) but I was able to fight back but he stabbed me with the dagger but I over powered him before he could kill my (cough...cough) child and killed him"

I started checking on her but was only left with a grim feeling and remorse

"I'm sorry I can not save you, you have lost to much blood"

"I don't care about myself I only ask of you to please watch over my son(cough...cough)"

"Alright I'll do all I can in my power to watch over for him my name is Cicely Vermilion what is his"

"(cough) Thank you Cicely his name is Wu Sukong I hope he lives a better life than what I could give him"

Cicely-"I will promise you this"

"Wu Sukong mommy is sorry she could not watch over you as you grow up it pains me to part(cough) with you but Cicely will watch you grow up in my stead I love (cough) you my child (cough..cough) I know you are destined for great things Cicely here he is protect him we..."

As soon as I was handed the baby her arms gave out and her eyes became lifeless.

Cicely-"I shall watch over him well I shall bury you in the hillside behind my house so your soul may watch him grow up"

I looked down at the baby only to see tears were streaming down the babies face as if he understood it all

Wu Sukong POV

I woke up with a crack of thunder in my new body only to see a man with lust and greed in his eyes as he was staring at the woman who was holding onto me as she must have been my mother she had long golden hair and deep green eyes she looked extremely young in my view.

The man started to attack me as he was saying he would kill me and sell my mom into slavery only after tasting her body I felt rage build up inside me but alas I couldn't do anything as I was just a baby.

I seen my mom get stabbed trying to protect me until she killed the man I felt sorry for not being able to do a thing to protect her.

Till a woman walked out of the woods she appeared to be 30-40 years old I guess she was the title douluo I asked god for as I was hearing them speak and the words my mom said I started crying I couldn't hold it in no more as the woman named Cicely started looking into my eyes and started singing to me I couldn't hold it in a just screamed while crying as I knew she would bury my mother so I could see her grave as I grew older and her soul watch over me then Cicely started speaking

Cicely-"Child grow strong in this world so no matter who it is as long as you have the strength to do It you will be able to protect them"

I made a silent vow to grow in this world to protect myself and others around me so no one could touch them with out my permission.

Cicely-"Wu Sukong I will bring you home with me to raise as my own grandson and protect you this i swear or the gods can strike me down today"

As she said that the clouds and rain stopped only to show a bright full moon in the sky I couldn't hold it in and fell asleep in her arms with a smile on my face as the tears dried away.
