"I'm falling... Surrounded by something like water—but not quite."
"I'm drowning... or should be. Why am I not? It's all dark."
"I can't move."
"Why? I thought I did it. I thought I was finally free."
"Maybe I am? Maybe this is it."
"Yes, I don't feel it anymore... It's gone."
"I can get used to this, It's not that bad..."
"Push it harder Ana!" a plumb women screamed.
"ahhh... Ahhhh..." Ana on the bed screams in pain.
"It's coming" the plumber women say's with excitement.
"It's a boy!" The Women say's"
"Why is he not crying Sue?" asks Ana.
"Maybe he can't? I've heard that some people are born mute."
Ana stared at the baby in pain, then slowly said.
"I see..."
"Aren't you going to name him? his looking at you."
"Oh yeah... May"
"Really sis? You are horrible at names..."
"Well, he was born in May so it's good, I guess."
"Whatever, where is the deadbeat father anyways?"
"He said he needed to meet a customer today for business..."
"You know... Paul really liked you. And he is a knight too"
"Not right now Sue, I'm really tired..."
"Ok Ok, but you know I'm right"
She left after cleaning everything.
"So... it is reincarnation huh?"
"Why? is this punishment?"
"After all that..."
"And she named me May... wow."
Ana placed May on the right side of the bed an laid down on the left facing him.
"I'm sorry, you are already paying for my selfishness..."
"I'm a horrible mother and I gave you a horrible father too..."
She started crying...
"Hmmm... this is weird, I whish she'd stop crying."
May slowly opened his mouth and tried to say something, but it came out differently.
"Oogga gaa"
Ana stopped crying...
"You can talk!" she said excited.
She let out a relieved sigh.
"Thank God"
Soon Ana fell asleep looking at May.
May took a look around him...
"Looks like the middle ages, seems like we aren't that financially stable either"
"She should ditch my biological father and marry the knight"
"But how do I tell her that?"
"Well I'll find a way, lemme use this first years to learn as much about this world as I can"
"I'll see if I like it or not, then decide on what to do"
After a few weeks Ana was finally leaving the house with him for the first time.
"Finally, I was getting bored to death there."
They passed by a busy street with all kinds of people, more so merchants, guards and travelers.
They soon arrived at a house, It looked a thousand times better than theirs.
It had a gate too, probably of someone who was of the upper middle class.
"She said its here, with the gates and all"
Ana pressed the button on the right side of the door.
"Is that a ring bell? I thought we lived in the middle ages... maybe we are just that poor?"
A tall and handsome men with black curly hair and olive skin approached the gate with a wide smile.
"Ana! is that you?"
"Hello Paul."
"So that's Paul. I definitely like him more"
"Come inside" he said as he opened the gates.
They went inside after exchanging greetings.
It was a house with 2 floors, they headed to the living room which had a window showing the garden and a small lake in the middle.
It also had a training ground with wooden weapons and practice dummies.
"So how have you been Ana? I heard that you had a boy, is it him?"
"Yes, his name is May and he is a few weeks old"
"I see..."
The room went quiet for a bit, then Paul put on a serious face and said.
"Since you came here I'll assume you changed your mind?"
"I'm sorry... I don't want for you to think I'm that kind of women..."
"I won't Ana but I have to know why and if something changed"
Ana lowered her gaze look at May and said.
"Him"
"After I gave birth I realized that he has a horrible father, I was selfish back then and thought that he would change after I gave birth to May"
"But he didn't, I'm so stupid..."
"It was your choice and I respected it"
"But your heart is still not there... I'm sorry Ana, you hurt me."
"I'm the one who should be sorry Paul..."
"Wait, no. Don't give up, he still likes you and I don't wanna grow up poor"
May raised his hand, started laughing and trying to reach Paul.
"Here, I'm a good son. Adopt me!"
Paul looked at him with confusion then smiled.
"Can I hold him?"
Ana got up, sat next to Paul and gave him May.
"May huh... why May?"
Ana avoided eye contact and started blushing.
"Well, he was born is may so..."
Paul started laughing.
"Don't laugh I'm not good with names." with her hands hiding her face.
"Yeah... I know."
"Why don't you two stay the night?"
Ana seemed surprised.
"Really?"
"Yes, we can talk while my maid take's care of him"
"Mmmm... ok"
"But I didn't bring clothes"
"I can ask my butler to buy some for both of you"
"Thank you, Paul..."
"Mission complete" said May with a wide smile.
A maid with dark hair and dark brown eyes came to pick May and left with him.
She gave him a bath and fed him.
"I already love the food"
She headed to a library, picked a kids book and started reading a story to May.
It was a story about a king who founded his kingdom then his empire. The Luxious empire, they called him a *Sage Abomination*.
"Maybe that is a way of saying he is strong or Brave?"
Listening to the maid he noticed.
"This world has magic!"
"They called it sorcery in the book, and its also said that the Emperor could destroy houses with a single strike"
"I think I like this world already"
"I learned that the Luxious Empire is located in the left middle of the Western continent and there were 2 continents in this world"
"There was the Dwarven Alliance that shared a border with the Luxious Empire and the Kingdom of Evergarden on the Southern coast of the continent"
"I got to walk by myself so I can read more books, who knows? maybe Paul can teach me swordsmanship too"
