Reincarnated The Blind and Deaf Boy

To the surprise of no one, Ruto made quick work of his laundry duties before the sun had finally went down. It was a shame that they couldn finish their match, to the disappointment of both boys, but there was always tomorrow. Regardless, they would find other ways to compete long before the night ended. Aria was still pouty from earlier, and while theres nothing Ruto can do about it now, he knows shell be over it the moment she falls asleep.

”Alright, you boys go get cleaned up! ” Nana yelled out, her voice echoing around the church. There must be something magical about her voice come this time of night, because not once have the children protested.

Surely, after a long day of play and mischief, they would all wash. The swiftness of the boys sword strokes didn keep the sweat or dirt at bay, any nose could tell. Perhaps even the boys were hoping to avoid suffocation via must in their sleep.

”Take this! My strongest water-attack [Aquarions Wrath]!!! ” Eric screamed out.

”Plop. ” The water shifted as he slammed his fist down into the water, before he followed it up by twisting his whole body to move a wave of water at Ruto.

”AHHRGGHRH!! ” Ruto screamed.

Rutos defeated screams could be heard from where the girls were bathing. Similar to the boys, they had a large body of water maintained by the flow of an underground reservoir. There was plenty of room to bathe, the scale being comparable to that of a Japanese onsen.

Nana released a slight chuckle underneath her breath as she looked towards to noise, ”I wonder how these boys will turn out when they leave here… ”

Arias head swiveled towards nana in a hurry, tears quickly forming, ”H-huh whatd you say!!! ”

Aria is a seriously sensitive girl, especially so when it comes to Nana. She became extremely attached to Nana, so much so that she could probably confidently make the decision if she ever had to pick the boys or Nana. Its not that she doesn love them, but shed feel infinitely lost without Nana. She saved her after all.

”N-nothing dear, its nothing… hush now its okay. ”

Time moved quickly in this manner, and despite the countless stories theyve heard these children had learned next to nothing about the world around them. This became even more obvious as they became teenagers and had yet to shed even a bit of their childishness.

”GIVE IT BACK! ”

And of course, their battles only grew more impactful as they got older. It was only natural considering they were almost old enough to receive their first classes, even if they never knew of this. Nana took great care in feeding, clothing, and discretely preparing them for the world.

Aria, while still extremely introverted, was the only one knowledgeable about the things to come.

Eric, while physically weaker than Ruto, began to gain the upper hand in fights using his speed and wit to out play Ruto.

Ruto, while he is a bit full of energy and combative, he cares greatly for the other two and would do anything to protect them.

Just what mysteries await them out in the world? Or perhaps the greatest mysteries are themselves?

[Unknown Author]

Into the throes of chaos shell weep as we row.

I can feel the fire gathering in my cheeks, and what it calls for me to do is be strong, but it just makes me seem so weak.

I laid in bed for weeks but the way she looked at me puts me back onto my feet.

Nature itself found its home in your eyes while you tended to your garden while the magic you fail to notice won stop pouring from your being.

The trees chose to make way for my lover, and your gaze continues to water me.

Though I choose to stay at a distance, I stand tall in this forest made entirely of your design.

Ive been sitting here thinking of what to say since yesterday afternoon.

No darling I have yet to move a finger, because when I began to leave you told me to stay.

I love it when we brush against each other, to me your touch is a comfort.

However when you
e gone it just won phase me, because this is the way weve always been.

We let each other in through the front door, and walk right out the back.

Perhaps our little beating hearts spin around on the porch for an hour, but eventually it all turns sour.

And although our time is over, I believe that gifts you have left the world has changed it for the better!

I have seen mothers crying happily more times than I can count, thanking this newfound magic for saving their ill children.

–

The time we haven spoken has felt far longer than a fortnight.

Is it true what Ive been seeing on the news?

I find my expectations completely overwritten as I see each new rendition of the worlds capacity for cruelness.

Is this truly what you had in mind for the world when you brought these nations together?

They have taken the gifts you have left them to take them from others, and have begun to desecrate the forests you left to the creatures of this land.

–

Into the throes of chaos, that is where the world has been slung.

The lives of young pupils were taken for political standings, and you have the nerve to complain about such trivial things while looking into mine?

To look at the atrocities spiraling around the globe makes me think I don even have the right to pursue the things that I need.

If I wear my fingers to the bone, if I fill my bag with stones, is the only thing Im doing is taking a gift from the family down the road?

I can no longer sit idly as they tarnish the magic you introduced to our people.

–

The chaos has found its way home, and I fear that we don have long.

All of those able have taken up arms, as this may be our final stand.

I offer up this prayer hoping you may hear it before the world begins to stop spinning.

Although I can help but wonder where you have gone, I wish you well should we not speak again, Our Lady of The Trees.
