Chapter 6 Talking to a space creature... Mom!

As soon as Mom left for work, because today was a charity event, where she was going to donate clothes to shelters. Now I wondered if Mrs. Landau talked to Mom about my marriage to Gepard...

Better not to think about it!

Now I need to mentally prepare myself for meeting my second mother, and to be honest, I'm a little afraid. No, not that she will hurt me or something like that. If she wanted it, she would have done it a long time ago, but I've been meeting her in my dreams for seven years now, and she has never done anything yet, and she will not do anything, I'm sure of it.

What I'm not sure of is why I was born. Because why else would any higher being want to have a child with a mortal woman? There must be reasons for this...

And even if she says that I'm just a side effect, then I...

I couldn't finish my thought, because I felt my eyes sting, and a few seconds later I was crying, clinging to my tail.

I couldn't imagine that one of those who gave me life in this dangerous, but amazing world, would say that I'm just a side effect. Maybe in my past life, I had some kind of trauma associated with my parents, that's why I feel and act like this? I don't know, but I want to talk to the Cosmos... no, not like that. I want to talk to my second mother!

Pulling myself up, I went to the bathroom to wash up and a few minutes later, I was acting like usual.

There are still a few hours left before my supposed meeting with my mother, and I could do something, but for some reason, I don't want to... Yes, even my favorite chocolate cake, which is in the refrigerator, I... don't want!

Most likely, it was all because of stress and worry, and I had nothing else to do, so I just sat down on the couch to wait.

But as soon as I sat down on the soft surface, I was immediately overcome by fatigue and I really wanted to sleep, and I couldn't fight it, so I resigned myself and closed my eyes.

The next moment, I opened my eyes and found myself in a space that was already familiar to me, which over the past seven years has become my second home, the place where I like to spend time when I sleep.

I almost immediately noticed Cosmos, who was standing facing a large tree, which I myself called Yggdrasil. Yes, it was banal and hackneyed, but I didn't want to call it like Cosmos did, who called her simply "Tree". And by the way, I also chose the floor of the tree. It was just that when I said the name Yggdrasil, a beautiful girl with green hair and long ears like elves appeared in my image.

I don't know why this image popped up in my thoughts, but it was the one that designated Yggdrasil as a female.

Gathering all my strength into a fist, I approached Cosmos, standing behind her.

I sighed again and asked.

"Are you my mother?"

"Yes." - she answered, without turning to me.

Her answer made me very surprised. And no, not because she is my second mother, but because for the first time she answered me directly and without riddles. And what's more, the tone in which she answered was very soft and even… loving…

"Then tell me who you are? And why didn't you immediately say that you are my mother?!" - I asked sharply, although I didn't want to.

But my mother didn't get angry or anything, she just turned to me.

"I am the Aeon of Harmony Xipe." She said, opening her eyes, which she rarely did and only when I asked her to.

She came up to me, and I noticed what she didn't have before, two more faces, which were on the sides.

I know who the Aeons are, since I've read books where they were mentioned many times, but I never knew their names, what they looked like, so her appearance surprised me.

"I unite thousands of entities that live in harmony within me." The face on the right side said.

"And if I told you that I was your mother, would anything change much?" The face on the left side asked.

To be honest, it was a little strange to see my mother with several faces, and apparently my mother noticed this, and removed the two additional faces. It was definitely… weird, but not off-putting…

"Yeah, at least I would know I have a second parent!" I said, pouting a bit.

She bowed her head and asked me.

"Is it really that important to say that? Didn't we spend time as mother and daughter? Didn't you tell me about your day? Didn't you laugh or cry when you were upset, and then I would console you?" she said.

She was right, even though I didn't know she was my second mother, but my subconscious saw her in that light, and I unconsciously treated her as if she were my second mother, which is what happened.

I could only sigh.

"Then… Why was I even born if I had some purpose?" I asked.

"For no reason." She simply answered, which left me stumped.

"What do you mean? How is it without a reason? That is, I appeared because…"

"We wanted it that way," she said, interrupting me.

"What?" I asked again.

"I am the Aeon of Harmony, I always strive for joy and harmony in all living things. And there is nothing more harmonious than family. Family that you love, with which you feel joy in your soul. Luna, my daughter, you appeared because we wanted it that way, because I wanted it that way, and because Freya wanted it that way," my mother Xipe said.

I couldn't help but be surprised...

I am desired...

I probably didn't realize it myself, as tears started to flow down my cheeks, but what surprised me most was my mother, who simply hugged me, which made me unable to hold back and I simply burst into tears in her arms, which I always wanted to receive from my second parent, and the cherished words...

"I love you, darling." - as if my mother read my thoughts, said the words that I wanted to hear, which made me cry even harder.

Because of this, I am more and more sure that I had some kind of trauma associated with my parents in a past life, but now it doesn't matter, I now have two wonderful mothers...

After the tears stopped flowing, my mother did not break our embrace, and because of this, I pressed myself closer to her, enjoying the cozy silence that was between us.

After a while, I broke the embrace myself, and decided to ask the question directly.

"Mom, my soul…"

"From another world? Yes, I know that, because that's how I found you in the void."- she said, making my eyes almost pop out of my head.

"So you deliberately placed my soul in Mama Freya's womb?" I asked.

"Yes."- she simply answered.

I swallowed involuntarily.

"Doesn't that mean that by placing me in the fetus, I killed another soul that was supposed to be born?"- I asked, afraid to find out that my appearance was the death of a girl who was never born.

"No."- Mom answered, making me sigh in relief, and then she continued.

"I don't know where you got that from, but during pregnancy, unborn babies don't have a soul, they only get one at birth. It can either be a new soul, born like the vessel itself, or a soul that has past lives. When I placed you in Freya's womb, I anchored your soul there so that the reincarnation system wouldn't send another soul into the baby's body. This is all really complicated for you, since you're not old enough to understand such things." she said.

"And how old do I have to be to understand this whole concept, a million years?"

"No." she said, then added.

"At least ten thousand years." she said, making me choke on my saliva.

Although there is a big difference between a million years and ten thousand years, to me it's the same thing. Since I imagine life by normal human standards.

"And how long will my life last?" I asked, and a little answer appeared.

"You won't die from aging," she said, and I immediately understood what she meant.

Old age will never catch up with me again, but that doesn't mean I won't die from some battle against a strong being or from some cosmic disease for which there is no cure.

"The power I have, isn't it my inheritance as a descendant of a cosmic being?" I asked a little sarcastically, which made my mother smile faintly.

"Yes. But this power has a limit, and yours will be reached by the age of twenty. You won't be able to become stronger than me, but…" she fell silent, thinking about something.

In fact, I don't want to be stronger than my mother, and even before all this, I imagined an ordinary boring life.

Finish school, find a girl, marry her, help my mother with the store, and just live peacefully, grow old together and die together, but apparently this is not waiting for me.

"There is one option, how you can increase your power even more. It is to become my Emonator." - she said.

"Emonator?" - I asked.

"It's too early for you to know about this, as soon as you grow up, I'll tell you everything." - a typical parental excuse, but I don't mind waiting, I have nowhere to rush, especially with the fact that I learned about the duration of my life.

After which she turned back to the tree.

"You can come out," - she said, and before I had time to ask her who she was talking to, a girl my age with green hair, behind which pointed ears were visible, appeared next to the tree.

"Yggdrasil?" - I asked mechanically.

The girl simply nodded, and it was obvious that she was nervous, and seemed to be afraid of my reaction. Although, then I saw her in my imagination at a more mature age, but there can be no mistake, this is the Yggdrasil whose image I saw.

"Hello," she said timidly, I again looked up at my mother, who noticed him, and simply smiled.

"This world or dimension, call it what you want, was created by me, and this big tree was also created by me. Everything here was created with my power, which manifests in you. For me, since the creation of Yggdrasil, it was just a living tree, but still not developed, but because of your words, in which you unknowingly put some of your power, which the tree perceived as my words, because of the same wave signature, this girl appeared. So, now she is your sister." - said mom, which made me smile.

Of course, I did not understand much from her explanation, but what I understood was that she is my sister.

I was so happy that I unknowingly went up to her and hugged her, which made the girl blush.

"Nice to meet you sister." - I said, breaking the hug.

"And me too." - she said timidly

Then I looked at mom again.

"Mom, does she know about her?" I asked.

She simply nodded and said.

"Yes, Freya knows and accepted her as her daughter."

I just sighed in relief. In one day, I immediately got another mother and sister. I am the happiest fox in the world.

"Mom, and Yggdrasil…" - apparently understanding what I wanted to ask, she shook her head.

"Like me, she can't leave here and go with you. She is tied to this dimension, and only here can she move freely." - she answered, to which I could only sigh in resignation.

The next few hours, I became close to my sister, who was very timid, and it was awkward for her to talk to me. But soon enough, I began to break down her barriers, and she began to open up to me.

It would seem that she is many years old, she is so shy. But in fact, as I found out from her, she does not remember her past, when she was a tree, and her mother confirmed that she was essentially just born, and before that she was just a plant that could not think.

We spent time with her playing different games, as far as my imagination and teaching skills allowed, since she did not know a single game, well, it is understandable for obvious reasons... Therefore, I had to teach her ordinary children's games, while Xipe's mother watched us.

After some time, Freya's mother appeared, which made me incredibly happy that now the whole family was together, and I was also very happy that Xipe's mother and Freya's mother were very close. Freya's mother literally stuck to Xipe's mother, and she did not object. Because of this, I wondered how it happened that a cosmic being who doesn't care about ordinary mortals fell in love with one of the mortals, and even had a daughter with her... It's better for me not to know yet, I'm not sure my childish mind is ready for this. And speaking of Freya's mother... She kissed other faces of Xipe's mother...

Damn, now that image is stuck in my head, ugh...

I need to think of something else.

Puppies, kittens, rabbits, girls...

With great difficulty, I managed to throw that image out of my head, and returned to playing with Yggdrasil, and our mothers, who were sitting under the tree, were watching us with smiles.

This is the best day of my life...

The only thing missing is chocolate cake...
