Chapter 1 Childhood Prologue

I am flowing in the dark, swooping and dissolving.

My body, my consciousness, everything is fuzzy.

Who I am?

Where I am ?

What is happening?

(I feel like I'm forgetting something important...)

Thoughts that grab at you and then spill out

Little by little, little by little

"Is it true about this place?"

"Yes, according to the maid who came to inform us, this is the basement..."

"Have you disarmed the spell?"

"I have."

A voice I've never heard before falls out.

And then...

The door creaked open with a squeak.

A light enters

"Hey! Hey! More light!"

The floor creaks.

"Oh, my God. What have you done to this little boy?"

"God!"

"We'd better get him out of here before we pray! "

"Get me something to wrap it around."

"Yes!"

The voices overlapping each other, and my dissolving consciousness floats to the surface.

The quiet place became bright and noisy, and I heard a gasping sound as I leaned forward.

And then ......

"He is breathing, I made it... thank God."

"Lord David, slow down, slow down, sir."

"Yes, I know."

With a word, a hand gently touched me.

（what is it...?)

I was scared ----.

The first thing I felt was fear.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Edward Harvin, right?"

(Edward? ...... me...?)

The next thing I felt was discomfort.

But the man's voice didn't know that and continued to speak.

"I am your uncle, David Grandes Finley. I am brother of your father Leonardo. It's all right now. You did well."

(David? ...... Leonardo ......?)

I felt like something was stuck in my head.

Not only my head, but also my body was too heavy to move.

The man who called himself my uncle gently picked me up and wrapped me in a warm blanket, as if he were handling a broken object.

"It's all right now."

The words were repeated.

But I had no idea what he was talking about.

Edward Harvin, I wondered, was that really my name?

Where am I?

Why am I here?

What was I doing?

What was I doing?

"We..........."

The questions overflowed. But I can't even speak.

"I wonder if you can't speak. Don't force yourself. It's okay."

For the third time, she said, "It's okay," and her kind blue-gray eyes looked into mine.

At that moment.

"...... I'm...sorry...!!!!!"

I didn't know how those words came out of my mouth in a whirlwind of questions.

I just found myself saying them as if I were breathing.

And then I reflexively shielded my head with my hand that I couldn't move before and shrank back.

The person who said "uncle" took a small gasp and fell silent.

And then ......

"......Why are you apologizing? There is nothing to apologize for. You did your best. You did great."

I felt a few warm drops of something fall onto my face.

I knew it was tears, and I knew my uncle was crying as he hugged me, but I didn't know why he was crying.

The people around me seemed to be crying as well.

"Come on, let's go with your uncle, Edward. First, I must take you to the temple to have your body examined."

"tem...ple?"

Edward said, "Yes. He will heal your aches and pains."

With that he took me in his arms and slowly stood up.

In his arms, my consciousness melted away again, wondering why a temple and not a doctor.
