The Spring’s Appearance (8)“You mean… you can still hear the voice?” Mom placed the fruit in her hand down and worriedly looked at me . She touched my forehead and asked, “The link has been cut, so why can you still hear the voice?”
“Maybe it’s a problem with the spring water…?”
”Mom shouldn’t have let you go near it… It’s fine, though . Mommy can interfere a bit . It’s just that there will be some side effects . You might hear Mommy’s voice, but that’s much better than hearing that voice, isn’t it?”
Mom rubbed my head with a smile . She then chanted a curse . My mind went blank . It was a really uncomfortable feeling . Two people did something strange to my memory, yet I had no idea what . If it wasn’t Mommy Vyvyan who was altering my mind, I would fret .
Mommy Vyvyan let go with a smile . She then grabbed hold of my hand and, in a soft tone, stated, “Done, Son . If the voice appears again, Mommy will interfere . Mommy doesn’t know why the spring has chosen you, either . Son, the elven spring is already our Galadriel Tribe’s exclusive mana source, so it’s unlikely to come after our tribe members, yet it’s chosen you . Furthermore, it’s done so many strange things that not even Mommy can understand . There are tall buildings and some… some… something running on the ground . ”
“Did you see something, Mom?!” I stood up and grabbed hold of Mom’s hands .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntMom reacted surprised: “I thought you saw it, as well . It’s what the elven spring displayed . Mommy has never seen the world it displayed . There were incredibly tall buildings, crowds, and metal boxes that ran along the streets . Also, I think there was a cla.s.sroom? Also, also, there were guns that I had never seen before . Mommy doesn’t know what that place is . Perhaps it’s one of humanity’s places . The metal and soil suppressed the mana; therefore, Mommy couldn’t sense any mana activity there, nor does Mommy know where it is . With that said, Mommy doesn’t know why the spring is showing us that sort of place…”
Dumbstruck, I sat back down . I was startled . Mom didn’t know what that place is, but I did . That was the world that I came from . The world that Mom didn’t recognise was where I was born and grew up as Zhu Liangzhe . Mom saw the world I came from .
“Why? Why did the spring show Mom that? Why does the spring relentlessly cling to me? Why…? Why…? What is the spring trying to hint? What does the elves’ G.o.d want? I now have my lovers, moms and children here . Do I have to go back now? Where will I end up when I go back? I no longer have a body . I’d just be a wandering soul, wouldn’t I? I don’t want to go back . I don’t want to go back . I want to stay with Mom, my wives and children!” I contemplated .
“Don’t worry, Son . Mommy has helped you . You best get yourself slightly drunk before you sleep at night . That will allow you to have deeper sleep without being disturbed . Oh, right, if you have that sort of dream again, don’t panic or feel afraid no matter what . Your panic and fear will allow the mana to find a vulnerable entry point . Trust Mommy . You must trust those around you . All you’re seeing is a dream . Remember that . ”
I nodded: “I understand . ”
Mom didn’t lean back feeling content . Instead, she leaned further forward onto the table, thereby revealing the ditch and snow-white weapons that made me blush . Mom didn’t notice her exposure, though . She, instead, pressed her hands firmer down on mine . She anxiously reminded, “Mommy isn’t joking with you . Plus, this isn’t Mommy reminding you . You must remember what Mommy said . You must trust Mommy and those around you . You must stand strong in your beliefs . Son, you’re Mommy’s son, so Mommy will definitely protect you, understood?”
I looked into Mom’s eyes . It was hard to s.h.i.+ft my gaze from Mom’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s to her eyes . Her anxious gaze made me look, nonetheless . I nodded then held Mom’s hands back: “I know, Mom . You’re my mom, so I’ll trust you, always . ”
“Of course . If you see Elizabeth . Mommy thinks you shouldn’t approach her, either . ”
I laughed . Mommy Vyvyan finally pulled back . She then pinched my shoulder and smiled: “In saying that , you must pay attention to where you look . ”
“Oh, busted!!” I exclaimed to myself .
Mom caressed my head . Lucia appeared at the table, exhausted . She greeted us . Smiling, Mom inquired, “What’s the matter, Lucia? You look very tired . ”
“Sorry, Your Highness . If I sleep at night, I will be tired during the day . Last night, I felt too rea.s.sured at His Highness’ side and, consequently, fell asleep . ”
Mom shook her head with a smile to stop Lucia from continuing . Lucia pulled a chair out . Mom pa.s.sed the remainder of breakfast to Lucia . After just sitting down for two bites, Lucia got back up again and rushed outside, leaving me with a bewildered look .
Mom’s ears twitched . With a smile, she explained, “The girls are up . ”
I looked at Mom’s ear and sighed: “Sometimes, I really envy you . ”
“Envy? Mommy can use magic to give you this sort of ears . It’s just that Mommy isn’t too used to seeing you with long ears . ”
“I was just joking…”
I couldn’t accept my appearance with long ears . Elves didn’t look ugly with long ears . I merely couldn’t accept my ears being long when I was human . Having that said, my human sensory organs couldn’t compare to elven ones . I inherited the visual prowess of elves . Due to my human ears, nonetheless, my aural capabilities would never be able to rival elves .
Mom watched Lucia leave and revealed an emotional smile: “That’s what it means to be a mom . Watching Lucia nowadays reminds me of when I raised you . You were alone, nonetheless . Mommy didn’t feel tired in the slightest raising you . To the contrary, Mommy was happy . At the time, you were always with Mommy, and you never ran about . ”
“I feel apologetic toward Lucia . ”
“Why don’t you feel apologetic to Mommy? Vera is clearly…”
“Okay… I’m apologetic to you, as well, Mom . ”
“Hehe…”
