Bewitched Ashes

The bang was loud, yet the baby did not cry.

As everyone were still, a hurried knocking was heard,

"I'll check it" cried the father,

"Luke-" as Alicia cried but couldn't complete her sentence. 

Her weakened body was now showing symptoms. 

Luke, the father went on to the door, wondering who might it be, 

It  was now noon, and almost everybody was busy with their works. 

[At the same time in Alicia's room] 

The Elder kept a hand on Alicia's forehead, 

As she felt her temperature was normal, it was just the weakness which took over, "After such a harsh morning she must have a good sleep" thought the elder. 

The baby was quiet, he was looking around, it seemed a little unnatural for a baby to have such sharp and understandable gazes thought the elder, tho in a way she was right it was just a body which was of a newborn, the mind of a keen sharp young boy still remained in their. 

The whole was remained unexplained for a while but more. 

Soon a man with sharp face and grizzly beard was near the bed room's door seen talking with Luke. 

The newborn gazed at the man, the man was talking silently with Luke nobody seemed to notice but the newborn did. 

The man, the bearded tall looking dark man was not of human species. 

At that time as it didn't mean anything it was not a thing to think much of but the boy understood, this was a straight up fantasy world he thought and read about. 

All the magic and everything existed, which made the boy happy as he was, which lead to a noticeable grin and giggle. 

Suddenly the bearded man pierced his gazes on him, the boy stopped and didn't know what to do, the heavy looking man slowly moved towards him holding him gently, patting his back. 

"Are you filled, little one, you just drank a lot of milk right, let me help you" said the man in a lovingly tone. 

Tho being true the boy just drank milk a while ago from her mother, which lead him to burp a little. 

"Aha hah ha", "Ah yes let it out, must you filled" the man seemed pretty experienced in terms of child handling seeming so big he was yet so gentle. 

"Yorn, thank you mien kumpel, after all you really are an expert in handling kids" 

Some words still remained Ununderstandable by the boy yet he knew what they meant. 

Soon patting the baby made him fell a asleep. 

Now remain we're just elder and the two men talking. 

It was now evening, 

It seemed, long crowling of crows were heard the light turned into a bright tint of orange. 

The boy was now a little awake he gazed nearby his mother was still asleep, he was wrapped up. In a soft blanket from toe to head, tucked away nicely in a cradle. 

The hole in the wall had somehow recovered to its perfect state back again and all which remained were the waves of mana which floated. 

The boy couldn't move, he was tucked away so nicely he just remained still think about his life here and how it was before. 

All the deeds, all the occurrences which he faced and made came flashing in front of his eyes, 

His mind felt astray. Alicia moved but just a little, she was tired before, but now seemed a little well. 

Admiring the waves which floated seemed translucent and light, slightly glowing and moving in patterns as he watched. Controlling them was all he could think of, as he planned of it what he could do and make. The sheer destructive force he could create or how gentle and calm lightning effect of soft help. He knew how a coin had two sides, both dark and light, black and white. 

He was neither good nor bad uptill now and now seemed a time he could think through, on what path he must walk through. Although what remained was binds of his soft blanky, he still felt the soft and warmness within him blankly. 

As he was thinking and pondering on thoughts, the mere pressure of these all, turned the tide. 

The waves were behaving differently more like in control of his thoughts, waves bent and moved slowly gently glowing brighter than before creating a pool in center. It was of a different color than before a shade of gray was seen, numerous voluminous spheres of light seemed inside it moved behaved like a void. A still black darkness was inside nothing see-through or pass-through it seemed. 

The other still didn't knew what was occurring behind their backs. 

The dark sphere started revolving on its own now at a unrealistic speed which was not known. 

Stones of varied colors nearby were attracted within, pulling nothing but waves of mana more, boy was excited on what was happening he still didn't show a slight of fear with his blinded weak newly formed body, he couldn't do nothing but watch what unfolds. 

Slowly from the ever darkness appeared an eye, a single eye which was pure white nothing which seemed to match the void. 

The eye looked at the boy again it was the second time somebody pierced at him so sharp. 

The bewitching effect flowed through the room as seemed everything turned dark the boy still looked eye to eye to the eye, eyeing for eyeing he thought, he needed no reason to sought. 

Sooner the a linked chain of dark and white grape the boy's eye, engulfing it with matter darker than dark it flowed slowly throught his body. 

The boy didn't move a single inch, he was determined to conquer what remained. 

There were absolutely no sounds, only the eye and the boy which remained. 

As it seemed the eye spoke something but was a language not understood all the boy knew that the eye meant ill. He looked more sharper that he ever will. After a minute or so, the binds caught fire, a fire burning purple and blue prudently turning ashes all which it passed through. 

The eye soon turned into ashes, seemed to curse all till the end. 

A vibration of sought was flowed quick die as it had started. Soon the ashes of the eye passed through the chains absorbed all by the boy, nothing mere such as dust remained. 

His right eye was now glowing slowly fading down turning back to normal after a while. 

Soon the boy fell asleep as nothing happened ever.
