(Note: In this I'm using Lord as a gender neutral)

I open my eyes. 

I'm in my room... But... I'm in my childhood bed? I look around me, and assess myself as well, my childhood room, my hair is down to my waist? How old am I?

I hop out of bed and open the curtains. I see Father training with the knights. 

"Lord N/n! you're up already?" Lina comes into my room. 

"Huh? Lina- Why are you-" 

"Look at your hair! It's so long! We should cut it, you are almost twelve now," Lina smiles. 

"Wait... ALMOST TWELVE?!" I look in the mirror. I'm a kid again! I'm eleven... I guess. Wait... 

"WHERE'S TIA?!" I yell. 

"She should be in her room... Why?" Lina asks. I bolt out of the room. 

"Lord N/n!" She calls after me. I burst into Aristia's room, panting. I didn't get this out of breath before, did I? I must have built up stamina as I got older. 

"N/n..." Tia says, tear welling up in her eyes at the sight of me. 

"Tia... Do you remember as well?" I ask. There was no reason for me to remember, no reason for me to be sent back with memories of that horrible future, and yet... I remember. Lina hasn't caught up to me yet. Tia is already dressed. Thank god she's okay.

"I do N/n, I do," She smiles at me. I run up to her and sob in her arms. 

"Lord... N/n... You... are... such... an... energetic... child..." Lina pants behind me. 

"Come, we need to get you dressed," She says reaching out a hand. I take it. 

"You'll be starting your sword fighting lessons soon!" She says to me. I realize that with my experience I could end up being counted as a sword fighting prodigy. That would be bad considering I don't wish to do anything of the sort. 

It couldn't be too bad... right?
