Nurturing Hope (Balem Abrasax x Orginal Female Character)

Chapter 2: Age 1

Balem Abarasax POV

Endless darkness. That is what I see when I gaze upon the glass walls in my throne room.

The silent humming of machines vibrated within the walls.

It was, in a lack of word, tranquil.

Until the shuffling of footsteps met my ear. It stopped behind my throne. "My Lord--"

Fixing my glare on the rat splice "When I speak to you, you will know it!"

Silence.

My time was was my own. Those who wish to gain my attention can wait a millenia if I wish. However, Mr. Night seemed to shuffle with need to report his findings.

Deciding to grant him my time, "What is it Mr. Night?"

Kneeling beneath my throne, "My lord. The recurrence has been located--"

"Where?"

Immediately sitting up the rat splice produced a pad. "Earth. Age 1. Born to --'

Standing up to loom over the splice "Show her to me!"

A hologram filled the throne room. Green grass beneath my feet with multiple colored flowers.

However, my gaze gravitated to a small child in the middle of the grass. Slowly walking towards her frozen figure.

She was looking towards the sky but as I stood infront of her, her gaze met mine.

If I imagined mother as an infant she was the exact image I would have thought of. The steady gaze of beautiful brown eyes. The elegant curve of the eyebrows.

"Her name" quietly stating as to not startle the hologramed child.

"Erika Willensstark my lord"

Kneeling down. Carefully hovering a hand over her cheek.

"Set a course for Earth immediately"

Timeskip

Descending upon Earth, I was met with pollution and numerous towers these Earthlings have made.

Such destructive creatures.

Mr. Night scurried beside me "This way, My Lord" bowing and extending an arm towards a corridor.

Eagerly gliding towards the direction of my mother "Leave me be"

The rat splice stuttered "B-but my lord--"

Stopping in my tracks "You heard what I said"

I went ahead and left my guards behind along with Mr. Night.

Following the corridor I was met with warm brown eyes of a child.

Mine

I couldn't believe what was in front of me. The hologram couldn't do her justice. Behind those child-like eyes I saw my mother.

My mother before she lost what truly made her Seraphi Abrasax.

A man held her tightly. How dare a lowly creature touch what is mine.

With half a mind to charge over and rip his arms off. The child struggled to get out of his hold. Successfully landing on her feet she reached a chubby hand towards me.

The man crouched to her level "What are you looking at Erika?"

Before he followed the direction of her hand I concealed myself behind a wall.

Making a decision in my mind. I made my way towards my envoy.

Mr. Night bowed towards me "My Lord"

Turning to have one last look towards the direction of the child Erika. "Mr. Night I want the recurrence guarded at all times. If something is to happen to her I will hold you personally responsible"

With a quiver lip "At once, My Lord" nodding towards a group of elite gurads.

Before we ascended the ship, "Prepare my alcazar for the arrival of Her Magesty"
