Dragon Rider Academy Book 1

Chapter 2: Rebirth and New Family

"It's a boy, My Lord! The goddess has granted you a male child".

Micheal's eyes were closed, but he could hear so many voices around him. Some where voices of men and some of women. "Congratulations, my lord and lady! You've been gifted with a boy!", said a woman's voice.

Micheal could feel himself being carried and handed to someone else. Micheal opened his eyes and saw a very beautiful woman lying in a bed, holding him in her arms, looking down at him. She looked to be in her very early twenties. She had long white hair that looked to stretch down to her waist. She had blue eyes, a large chest and she was wearing some kind of evening gown. Her hair was all a mess and she was drenched in sweat, but she was still beautiful none-the-less. "Look at him, Nathan. Isn't he just beautiful?", the woman asked.

A very handsome man came into Micheal's view and sat down beside her on the left side bed. The man looked a little bit older than the woman. He had a small, but built muscle tone. He had short white hair, green eyes and a scar over his left eye. He was wearing blue shirt with long sleeves and a green vest over it. Micheal thought these two adults would make great movie stars. "He is beautiful, Cynthia. He has the eyes of his mother", said the man.

"And he's just as handsome as his father", the woman replied.

The two adult looked at each other and kissed. 'Who are these people?', Micheal asked himself.

Micheal reached his arms out to the adults and tried to speak, but all that came out was some baby sounds and he saw that his arms were extremely small. His arms looked like the arms of a newborn infant. 'Wait a minute. What's going on here? Am I a....baby?!', Micheal said to himself.

Micheal then remembered that Almena said he would be "reborn" into the Albion Family in the new world she was sending him to. 'I guess sent really meant it when she said I would be "reborn". I guess I have to start all over again. I guess these people are my new parents.'

"Look, Nathan. He knows who we are", said the woman.

"He's only a few minutes old and he's figured out who his parents are. I guess he was born with your intelligence too, Cynthia", said the man.

'I guess these two must be my new parents. They seem nice enough', thought Micheal.

"Excuse me, Lord Nathan".

Micheal turned his small head to see an adult woman stand at the foot of the bed. The woman looked to be in her late twenties. She had dark skin and purple hair that was tied into a bun. She was dressed in a long skirt maid outfit. She was wearing glasses that covered her amethyst eyes, but what stunned Micheal was that he noticed how large her chest was. It was covered by her outfit, but it was very hard to miss. It was larger than Cynthia's. "What is it, Carla?", responded Nathan.

"Lady Luna and Aria are waiting just outside the door. They are very excited to meet their new brother, sir. It's getting difficult to hold them back", said Carla as she giggled.

Nathan and Cynthia looked at each other and giggled themselves. "Okay, Carla. Let them in", Nathan responded.

"Yes, sir", said Carla as she smiled and bowed.

Carla walked to the large wooden door at the end of the room. "You may come in now, young ladies, but please be careful. Your mother is very tired", Carla said to someone as she opened the door.

Micheal heard two young voices rush into the room and hoped onto the right side of the bed. He saw two little girls looking down at time beside Cynthia. They couldn't be any older than 5 years of age. One girl had short white hair that came down to her shoulders, while the other one had long hair that stretched down her back to her waist. They both had blue eyes and were wearing long silk dresses. "Is this him, mommy?", asked the girl with short hair.

"Yes, Luna. This is your new baby brother", answered Cynthia.

"He's so cute, isn't he, Aria?"

"He sure is, Luna. He's the cutest thing I've ever seen", said the girl with long hair.

The two little girl reached their hands to Micheal and extended their fingers. 'These two must be my new sisters'. Micheal played along and reached out his tiny hands to grab the girls' fingers. He gave them a big smile to make the mood better. "I think he knows who we are, Aria".

"I think so too. I've only known him a minute, but I already love him so much", said Luna.

"So do I. I love him so much. We promise to be the best big sisters we can be for him, daddy. Right, sister?" said Aria.

"That's right. We promise to be great sisters to him, mommy", said Luna.

Nathan and Cynthia smiled at the little girls as Nathan patted the girls heads. "We know you will, girls. We know you'll be great sisters", said Nathan as Cynthia nodded.

All for of them looked down at Micheal and smiled. 'Wow. I don't know how, but I can already feel their love for me. I think I'm going to like this family', Micheal thought.

Micheal heard Carla make that clearing throat noise to get the families attention and the family looked at her. "Excuse me, My Lord and Ladies, but isn't it time to give the new Young Master a name?", she asked.

"That's right. What should we name him, darling?", Cynthia asked.

Nathan started racking names in his head, trying to pick the right name for his son. "Well, he's a son of the Albion Family. He needs the perfect name."

"Daddy. Mommy.  Can we make a suggestion?", asked Aria.

Nathan looked down at his daughters. "Of course, girls. What did you have in mind?"

"Well, Luna and I were looking through the names of past Riders and their dragons in the library and we found one that would be really great of our new sibling was a boy. It took us three days, but we found the perfect one", said Aria.

"What name would that be, sweetie?", asked Cynthia.

"We thought 'Soren' would be a great name", answered Aria.

"Soren? The name of Albions dragon?", asked Nathan.

Luna and Aria nodded at their parents. "Oh, Nathan. Soren would be the perfect name for him. Don't you agree?", asked Cynthia.

Nathan smiled down at his daughters and hugged them. "I'm so proud of you girls. You went through all that trouble for your brother, just like Albion did for his friends. Soren will be very lucky to have you two for sisters", he said.

Nathans daughters hugged him back. "Do you agree with our girls, Cynthia? Is Soren that right name for our son?", Nathan asked his wife.

Cynthia smiled at her husband and daughters. "I agree. I think Soren is the perfect name for our son".

"Then Soren it is", said Nathan.

Nathan, Aria and Luna gathered around Cynthia holding Micheal. "Carla? Please join us in welcoming Soren", said Nathan.

"Why My Lord?"

"Well, you are his godmother after all", answered Cynthia.

Carla removed her glasses to wipe the tears from her eyes. She walked over to the left side of the bed and stood next to Nathan, looking down at Micheal. "Hello, Young Master Soren. I'm very happy to meet you", Carla said as she brushed her fingers against his cheek.

'Soren huh? I actually like that name. It sounds just like a name that would fit in a fantasy world. I don't know how, but I can feel genuine love coming from all these people. I think I'm going to like this new life. I'm no longer Micheal Lyson. From today onward, My name is Soren. Son of the Albion Family.'
