Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Like father like son

A massive group of people were running near the river shoreline.

This group mainly consisted of women and children with few warriors protecting and guiding them.

In the center of the masses, there was a mother who was holding her one week child dearly while running for their lives and her husband was beside her using magical spells to delay their pursuers.

They have recently joined the ranks of a parent and were already facing the biggest hurdle of their lives, running away from the soldiers of Baimum Theocracy.

No matter how many they killed, these soldiers didn't end their pursuit. It was like they were possessed by a mad spirit which chased after them without caring for their lives.

They killed one and it somehow motivated others to take his place. They happily faced spells head-on without any intention to dodge or parry.

They kept on chanting; "for the lord" or "to the lord's paradise" like some fanatics.

Then suddenly the leader of the group trying to escape stopped and turned towards the enemies.

Others also stopped and shouted at him and questioned why did he stopped. They all knew he was not a fighter, his strength was making strategies and not executing them.

The leader then turned towards the newly born child and then looked at his parents while saying, "I hope he's the one who's going to be our salvation.  You guys go ahead, I will try to hold them for a while."

The father nodded and said with a smile, "we will be joining you soon." When those words left his lips, his wife looked at their child with sad expressions.

They have already known this fact that they might not be able to see their child grow. But, whenever the fact was mentioned in front of her, she could not help but feel sad and guilty for leaving their child alone in this world.

The leader nodded and looked towards the charging troops. After taking a deep breath he started chanting the spell.

"This child prays to mother Manyanti;

Grant this fool's last wish;

I offer these souls of who stand before me;

To purifying flames of Agni;

Soul purge"

Red colour mana condensed around him and his body started faintly glowing red.

When the soldiers saw him standing still, they thought he had frozen still due to fear of death and they charged at him while , ready to end his life in one Swift strike.

No-one hates free kills, especially if enemy is presenting himself on platter like that.

But, the scout found it weird. 'Why would he stop suddenly' he thought to himself.

When enemy's body was covered in bright red mana, then the realisation dawned upon him and he shouted on the top of his lungs, "PULL BACK NOW."

But his warning fell on deaf ears and then what he was afraid of happened.

"Boooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!"

When the body of the leader exploded, the mana released from him created several other explosion in his vicinity and covered 20 meter radius around him.

When the explosion stooped and dust settled, a crater was formed of about the same radius as the explosion and there was not even dead bodies left of the soldiers.

Hundreds of Theocracy soldiers were annihilated in an instant and due to massive crater the land had become unstable which ultimately slowed down the death march of the soldiers.

The Captains and the scout of Theocracy army couldn't believe what was before their eyes. They had almost catched up with their enemies but at last moment their victory was snatched from them by a single person.

Suddenly he felt that as if his soul was sucked in through some portal.

Some his senses were restored after this. He could feel warmth of someone on his body. He tried to open his eyes but everything seemed blurry.

He tried to move his limbs but it was useless, to him it felt like someone had tied him down.

Then suddenly heard broken phrase, "... been... will..... vik..!!"

He tried to concentrate on the sound but dizziness dawned upon him and he slept.

Then there were several instances when he tried to take command of his bodily senses, bit by bit there were some progress.

He had already came to the understanding that his rebirth phase has come to pass and now he was stuck in infant child's body which only know to drink milk, sleep and poop.

One day, Satvik felt his body shaking, vigorously shaking then he heard a loud explosion that woke him up.

The first thing he saw was a silhouette of a woman. She was the person who was holding him and she was looking in another direction.

Satvik deduced that she might be her birth mother. Her hair was covered by a piece of cloth like a veil but he could easily see her black curls hanging low on the side of her face.

Then she looked towards him and their eyes met.

Her first expression was of surprises and fear but later was replaced by gentle smile of a mother.

When Satvik saw those eyes he couldn't believe the sight before him. No matter how long it has been he could never forget about those gentle eyes.

The woman smiled and said while panting, " You took your time didn't you!?"

When Satvik heard her voice his suspicion was over and he starred at her with wide eyes that didn't look good on a face of a child. Then he started crying.

After hearing the cry of a child, the father also rushed next to him. He was worried that the child was hurt due to the explosion.

When he reached next to his wife, she looked at him and said while hugging the child, "it seems his soul has finally adjusted to his new body and he is fully awaken at last."

The father's worried expressions were replaced with a gentle one and he said, "your oversleeping habits have passed on in this world as well it seems."

Then he gently caressed his head with love and affection. Which only made the child cry more.

They only had a few moments to spare due to sacrifice of their leader. They both let Satvik cry as their own eyes were filled with tears.

After Satvik had cried out his feelings of loneliness left after the death of his parent, the mother kissed his cheeks and said, "We know we left you alone in our previous lives due to unavoidable circumstances. We are thankful to the Gods for allowing us to reunite in this world and granting us another chance to become your parents. Even if..."

Satvik's mother didn't complete her sentence and just became quite after a while with sadness visible in her eyes.

Then his father coughed and continued where her wife left and said, " it's a shame you can't speak for now. We would have loved to know everything that happened after we left."

"Dude! I was looking forward to teach you how to woe ladies when you were old enough. But I'm pretty sure of my genes, you would have had at least two-three girls who were fawning over you, right?"

He then received a quick jab in his stomach and when he looked at the culprit he realized he had messed up big time.

Satvik's mother then said with a smile, "you were a virgin till the age of 26."

Those words were like an arrow which pierced the hearts of both father and son. Satvik till the age he lived on earth was a 25 year old virgin as well. 'Like son ' thought Satvik while blaming his father's genes.
