In a certain hut of the konak village a man with an average looking physique and black hair so long that he braided it into a ponytail
was busy guiding a woman through birth
"You're doing good, I can see the head, give me one more strong push okay. " said the main in an alluring voice that seemed to bring calm to who ever heard it
The woman on the birthing end of the spectrum, was sweating profusely and looked as pale as a corpse as she followed the man who was the tribe herbalists instructions
"Aaaaaahhh" the Women wailed as she used the last of her strength and pushed the baby out
The herbalist took the baby to a separate room while the mother lay limply on the bed
A man with hulking figure then came into the room with a smile on his face but upon seeing the condition of the women his facial expression became solemn instantly
He went and kneeled next to the bed and held the woman's right hand that was still wet from all the sweat
"My dear beautiful third wife, you finally gave birth after all these years you finally gave me a child, I can't wait for you to heal so we can celebrate this blessing the gods have sent to us"
The woman that lay on the bed, Rebecca did not reply to the man, she looked at her husband Chris and just smiled lightly, even though that mere act seemed difficult for her
Chris was confused by her silence, he had been through two pregnancies before and he knew that even though moving about would be painfulat least the woman could talk after giving birth
Why was even smiling a difficult task then
He suddenly had a bad feeling about this
"I am afraid I have some bad news, Chris " the village herbalist walked in the door he had left from with the baby in a blanket on his arms
"Did something happen to the baby ! " Chris was startled by these words
The elder shook his head" keep calm the child is fine, it's your wife, that seems to be the unfortunate one"
Chris clenched his fist as he looked at the terrible condition of his third wife that seemed to be getting worse
"what is it? " Chris asked
"She has the birth of death symptoms"
A hint of of killing intent flashed through Chris's eyes as he shot a look at the baby in the tribe herbalists hands
"you dare!!" the tribe elder shouted as he stomped his foot on the ground making the tiny hut shake
Chris came back to his senses and then took a step back, he had forgotten the power of the herbalist
"It is not the fault of the child for this to occur" the herbalist lectured
'I know that but he is partly to blame, if the consequence of him being born is me losing my beloved, why didn't he just die in her stomach then ' Chris's emotions were in turmoil as he thought along this line
'it's also not my fault I have these feelings' he consoled himself
The birth of death condition was a defect in a extremely rare population of the women in the
Polar star world, it is when a women can only give birth once in their life, because almost immediately after giving birth they would die
It was actually cured in all kingdoms and empires, and sects but here in the dusty villages, it would occur once or twice every year to an unlucky few
Chris went forward and kissed Rebecca on the forehead and said goodbye before walking towards the door
"and the child what are you going to do about him" the herbalists words stopped Chris in his tracks,
"Thow it away, kill it, burn it.... I don't care" Chris spewed out these ice cold words before leaving the room and smashing the door behind him
The herbalist sighed as he saw this, he felt relieved that at least he didn't have to fight Chris, he had heard of it happening a few times as the father tries to kill the child as some sort of payback
'Bastard' the baby that was unusually quiet in the herbalists arms thought as he watched he's supposed biological father
Yeah that's what you called a parent you hated, biological,
Daddy?, papa?, the great father supreme? ,sugar daddy? do u deserve any of the nicknames I was gonna call you.... No!!!!!
"you don't even have name little guy." the herbalist then thought of some thing
And brought the child near rebecca
"Rebecca I will take care of your son, but I needed one final thing from you" he said as he put one hand on Rebecca's hand
"name your son for me, Huh? Or do you want me to call him boy all the time"
Rebecca's mouth started to move and the herbalist moved his ear near her mouth
"shin !!, hahaha, good name, sure, hey little guy your name will be shin from now own okay" he said to the baby that gave laughter in return
"great I get to keep my name "thought shin to himself
Rebecca smiled seeing this and gently closed her eyes as she passed away
As she died shin caught a glimpse of a glowing orb in the corner of his eyes
He turned his neck in the direction of rebecca
, there was a glowing yellow orb floating above her
Shin turned to look at the man holding him and saw that he doesn't care, doesn't notice and can't even see the orb
Shin didn't know what the orb was but he was curious, he knew he wasn't able to leave the man's arms. Turning his neck was the best he could move in this newborn baby body
As a shot in the dark, he concentrated on the orb and sucked in the air around him as hard as he could
The orb flew from its original position and dove into shins mouth, down to his stomach and then it disappeared
