Doro: Gift Of God
"Long, Long ago, there was a woman named something no one knows. However, she was the one who started all these things in this world.
When she was 14 years old she fell in love with a man and married him, he was a good man with a good family, she was happy and lived happily after that, but one thing was that she was unable to bear his child. One year passed, 2, 3… total 5 years, and she was unable to bear a child.
Even though that man's family was good, they decided to marry another woman to him, but they didn't abandon her.
After that man married someone and had three kids with her, two boys and one girl.
At first, that woman acted innocent, but once she had three children, she started to get arrogant and look down on the first wife.
The first wife stopped eating for two days; she didn't even come out.
Her family and Husband were worried and went to her room.
She opened the door, allowed her Husband in, and explained everything to him.
"Don't worry about her; even though she is my wife, the only one I love is you," that man said to his first wife and hugged her.
"Sob… I want to have your child too," the first wife said. She still didn't give up even after ten years had passed since their marriage.
"Why are you always like this… why aren't you eating? Why be so sad just because you have no children? You have me— isn't that better than having ten sons?" that Husband said to her.
"But… this world is looking at me like…"
"Stop thinking like that; why is it important to you? Love or hate? Me or the world that is insulting you? It is up to you to decide, now come eat," the Husband said and ordered maids to bring some food, and he fed her with his hands.
"Sob" she was still crying and eating.
"I decided, I will not care about it!" she said to her Husband after eating.
"Good," her Husband said, patted her head, and left the room.
She ignored everything from the next day, the second wife, or anything that insulted her.
Twenty years passed.
The first wife was sitting on a rock in front of their house. Now her husband was the head of the family; even though so many people hated her, no one ever dared to touch her.
The second wife's children became adults and even married… even though she never had children, she was not jealous of anyone. She was pure-hearted, only loved her Husband more than herself—"
"Mother, father… come to the point," a kid who was sitting on the ground said.
"Huh," his mother and father were acting while telling him the story.
"Son, you need to know everything; this is how you were born too!" the father, who was a middle-aged man, said to him.
"Yeah, you need to know everything, son…" mother said; she was also a middle-aged woman.
The son sighed; he was none other than Yoma Sile; it had been five years since he was born in this world; his parents were just commoners in a small village; this village was so backward like it was from the BC timeline…
His parents said that once he reached five years old, they would tell him the story of this world beginning, but it was just a story passed down.
"Cough," mother coughed and caught his attention. "Don't interrupt next time; this is very important!" she said to him as he nodded.
"Long long ago…"
"Mother…"
"Stop, okay, I will get to the point," mother said; she wanted to tell from the beginning again, but it looked like her son was not interested in the whole thing.
The father sighed.
"One day, when she was walking in the market, she met an old man… he was an old man, and he was a believer in the Sun God. He was the one who introduced her to the Sun God. As she went to the temple, she learned that he helped everyone and didn't take anything in return… her long last dream… to have a child came back; she wanted to believe in that so-called God. She prayed, prayed, prayed until she saw the Sun God himself!
"Your prayers reached me… what do you want child" father acted as a god while the mother kneeled in front of him.
"I- I want a child with my husband…" she wished
"Your wish will come true…" Sun God touched the woman's head "the child you are going to bear will be the strongest and most intelligent person this world will ever see," he said and vanished from there.
That woman was shocked. "Really…?" she stood up and ran to her Husband.
"Husband, God said I can bear your child," she said to him.
The Husband looked at her and sighed; he didn't believe it; he felt she was just being tricked by people, so he slept with her that day to prove her point.
Three months later.
"Husband… I am pregnant," that woman said to her husband, who was shocked and called the doctor; after checking, he said the same thing…
"How…"
"It is God's blessing," she said and prayed to Sun God again.
That Husband started to believe in her words, and he also began to pray to Sun God.
"Ah"
Screams could be heard from the room as the Husband was wearing outside, not only him but many people.
"Waa waa," a baby cry could be heard from the room.
A middle-aged woman came out of the room and said, "it is a boy," she said to them with a smile.
The Husband was so happy and entered the room and saw the woman was on the bed with the newborn baby in her hands.
"Husband… here… our son," she said to him with a smile, and tears dropped from her eyes.
"He is…" even his Husband could not hold his tears back and look at the baby.
"His name will be… Doro, he is the gift from God to us," the Husband said as the wife also agreed with him...
Sile watched all of the acts his new mother and father were making while telling him the story.
"So, that is how he was born… Doro," Sile nodded.
"Yes," mother and father came in front of him and nodded.
"So you are telling me that is how I was also born?" he asked
"Yes! But there are many differences between me and Mother of Doro; even our story is kind of different; my Husband, your father, never married another woman! He believed I would surely bear his children; even after 15 years of marriage, he still believed in me! And one day, I saw the God I used to pray to, and he gave me his blessings and said.
"Your son will be the strongest person ever these worlds would ever see; he will bring peace and liberation to these worlds; treasure him."
Like that, and you were born! That is why your name is Doro, too," mother said to him with a proud smile.
He nodded and was surprised that he had a backstory like that, so he was born with the blessings of God... "Who is the God you prayed to get me?" he asked them.
"God of Peace! you will know about him in future, he was one of those strongest Gods..." they stopped before saying anything
Sile was silent.
"So this is all?" he asked them.
"Eh?" mother and father looked at each other's faces "what is there? We think we have explained everything."
"No, about the powers people got! How can they control fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, etc… how?" he asked them.
"That's…"
