Meeting with the Goddess Gaia

"Ah... I really died. Huh? "

It's so dark in here. Where am I? Is this the afterlife?

Who is that? Her voice is so relaxing despite all this darkness.

"May I ask who are you?... Uh.... ma'am?"

Suddenly a beam of light illuminated the darkness and there stood a majestic beauty that no one can compare.

Whoah! She is the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in my life!

Enchanted by her beauty, the message that Alexander was told did not easily get through him.

"um... Excuse me, what was that again?" Alexander asked shyly.

Alexander's eyes popped out in shock from what he heard. He could not believe what he heard that he is now in front of a Goddess.

For real?! Well I can't be really too shocked since I am already dead anyways. But to meet a real Goddess in person is so... Thrilling!!!

"Uhum!.... err.. Excuse me.... How may I address you? Goddess or...? "

Hiding his excitement, he asked the goddess while stuttering.

"Umm.. Okay, Gaia. Can I ask you something?"

"No offense if you take it but are you the one and only goddess? Or are there also other gods or goddesses aside from you?"

Oh, so aside from earth, there are other worlds out there.

"Gaia I have another question, why am I here? Aren't I supposed to be dead and disappear into nothingness?"

So that's why.

"What's gonna happen to me now? Why did you summon me here?"

While listening to Gaia's reason, Alexander did not realise that he had already been shedding tears. The tears that he hid behind his mother, the tears of longing for his father, and the tears of guilt towards the people he was not able to save since he died before them. All of this emotions flowed like a river. He could not help it. Having someone know about everything without worrying for his or her safety, he finally felt relief.

By these words, Alexander had a hint on what was going to happen. The chance that he wished will be given to him.

"Really? I will be given the chance to live again?"

"..."

"... I would like to retain my memory of my past life. Please Gaia, by doing this, it would serve as my motivation and a reminder to not unknowingly go astray."

Before he can even react to this, the voice of the goddess is now slowly fading and the light that was so bright just seconds ago is now nowhere to be found. It was now pitch black.

<.. Lastly.. Strive to fulfill your wish., Alexander Yiu... >

At that moment, he was now back to the silent darkness. However he does not feel loneliness anymore but a warmth that he cannot explain.

What is that glimmer of light? As if I am in a dark tunnel approaching its end. The light is now slowly going back.

Suddenly he felt being held by large hands.

"Congratulations Madam Li! He is a healthy baby boy." an old womans voice exclaimed

Wait.. Was that tunnel just now the.. The origin of a woman?!

"hmm? I wonder why he is not crying."

The old woman effortlessly slapped the butt of Alexander.

"urk... UWAAAA... UWAAAAH.. UWWAAHH"

Startled, the poor baby was now crying in pain.

Ouch! What was that all about? That was so painful you old hag! Can't you at least be gentler with a newborn baby? What if you deformed my butt?

Those silly thoughts obviously didn't reach the old lady.
