The truth

Lucas and Athanasia can be seen sleeping on the king size bed while cuddled in each other. They looked pretty satisfied to be precise.

Suddenly Lucas's eyes fluttered a bit from the sun rays coming through the windows. He opened his eyes and looked around while stretching his body and rubbing his eyes.

As if a light flashed on his head he suddenly had a happy grin on his face while he crawled towards his mother and started shaking her while shouting :-

" Mom !! Mom !! Wake up, it's my birthday !!"

Athanasia also opened her eyes. She was actually awake for a long time but still wanted to watch her little baby sleep some more. That's why she didn't wake up. When he opened his eyes she was still able to see everything he was doing without even opening her eyes.

" Good morning little one, " she said, ruffling his hair.

" Good morning mom, " Lucas greeted his mother while hugging her.

" Happy Birthday my dear baby" Athanasia said while returning her son's hug.

" You promised to tell me everything you are hiding when I grow big enough. Now I am 5 years old and I think I am old enough to know." Lucas suddenly said, causing his mother to choke a bit.

" Y-yes but before that how about we have breakfast. I have prepared everything for you my dear son." Athanasia tried to avoid the topic by bringing in food. Magically a small round table with two chairs appeared along with a lot of delicacies in different varieties.

Lucas also forgot about the topic when his stomach started to grumble. He was just about to move towards the table before a toothbrush with toothpaste on it appeared in his hand. He looked at his mother with an annoyed gaze.

" Little one, you have to brush your teeths or the food will get cold." When Lucas heard it he started brushing his teeth hurriedly.

Athanasia simply chuckled at her son's childish behaviour and started brushing her teeths as well. The food was kept on magical utensils which wouldn't allow them to become cold but if she had not used this reason she wouldn't have been able to stop her son. Being a mother sure is tough.

After eating the food while they were enjoying a pastry Athanasia suddenly said something which caused Lucas to flinch :-

" First of all, why don't you tell me about yourself ?"

" What do you mean mom ?" Claude asked while sweat was forming on his forehead, he was drinking the orange juice.

" My son, you are reincarnated aren't you ?" When Lucas heard this he sprayed the juice in his mouth and looked at his mother with shock.

" Now are you going to tell me the truth ?" Athanasia said, looking at him with straight eyes.

Lucas told her everything as he never wanted to hide it from his mother. He just feared that she might not accept him.

" I don't have any past memories except that I was reincarnated. I have travelled through the universe that's why some chaotic energies were formed. To remove those chaotic energies my consciousness got divided into primary which carried my will while secondary which carried my past memories. The secondary consciousness was completely destroyed by chaotic energies until somehow my soul solved the problem. I only remembered some things which are instinctual." Lucas said everything while he stared at the floor. He was prepared for anything but what came was completely unexpected.

Athanasia hugged Claude, stuffing him in her breasts. Lucas was not able to control the emotions welling up in him and cried out aloud. After crying for a bit he looked into Athanasias eyes and asked :-

" W-why....?"

Athanasia understood what Lucas was asking. In any and every world the most insane and crazy person will be a mother. She can even stand in front of a storm if it means giving her child just one more second to live. When such an entity hears that what was supposed to be her son was actually an outsider possessing her son's body her reaction won't be that of hugging that outside. After all, even the system said that this is a vessel, a body Lucas has taken over then why ?

" Silly child, so what if you are reincarnated ? I myself have raised you with my own hands. I have seen your happiness and misery. You were the reason why I was happy till this day and still am. You are my son and only my son. You are born from my womb and I am the woman who raised you. I am the only one who is allowed to call you my son. Even if the world will call you an outsider they can die for all that I care. For me you are my little baby who I have seen grow up till this day." When she said that Lucas lost all the reasoning and thought process. He cried to his heart's content, maybe this was not the only fear he had.

" Waaaaaaaaaaa..."

After calming down a bit Athanasia kissed Lucas on his forehead and let him go. She stood up.

" Can I ask you your name ?"

" Lucas, " Lucas replied.

" This is the reason why I didn't give you a name. I wanted to know your name before giving you a name but I think this name suits you well. Do you know the meaning behind this name ?" Athanasia asked.

" No…." Lucas replied, rubbing his eyes.

" Harbinger of light, the one who shines the brightest in the endless darkness." Even though Athanasia liked the name Lucas found the meaning somewhat cringey but he decided to let it be as long as his mother liked it.

" Now it's time to open up my secrets." She said while changing her clothes magically.

Her clothes changed into the majestic royal dress she was wearing before.
