The child awoke flailing and pissing. Everything was new to its senses. Its new body was perhaps the most forgien thing it had ever encountered.
The child wiggled and around until the noise woke up Rotund with a shock making him sit up from his chair and try too desperately restrain him too not much success. "Please child calm down you are safe!" He shouted but it just agitated the child even further.
The commotion could be heard from even outside the house as Melinda who had just arrived on her patrol was quickly drawn by the shouting and ruffle.
A mature women in her 60s burst through the door with unnatural energy. Her hair was short grey and curled. She looked very well age but nothing unusual besides black scars that covered and ran up her right arm too her elbow. They traveled like snakes and the scars were noticeably embeded into her arm forming valleys on her limb.
"What in the world is happening here!" She was dumbfounded as the sight before her was truly unusual. A strange and unsual child that she had never seen before despite knowing every person in the village was spasming as Rotund desperately tried to hold him. "Just calm him down first already!"
Miranda sprung into action as the child instantly moved even more erratically as mirranda used mana to bend the laws on nature making the air around the boy much heavier.
All of sudden he felt as if every part of his body was being pushed down too the extreme as his bed creeked and cracked in some places. Miranda then moved the old man out of the way who manged too dodge the effect and was now sitting back down on his seat. She was seemingly unaffected by whatever spell she had cast and quickly tied the child up tight like a marshmallow before lifting the spell.
"Okay now explain" Miranda pulled up a chair next too Rotund. He then went on too say everything knew and near the end of his story a man burst through the door. "Sorry chief but we've found nothing it's like he appread out of nowhere no footprints or nothing" Rotund laid back in his chair and asked Miranda "We'll any ideas Miranda" She looked at the child and thought for a long time until she said "Honestly in my opinion I think it's safer to get rid of him, there's clearly a story behind him and I don't know if the village will be able too weather somthing like that" The Village only had around 30 people with zero magically talented people. Mirranda was a mage hired by the local lord too regularly inspect and check in on all the villages in the area.
"But don't do it beacuse I told you, Be sure cuase if you're not then this choice will haunt you..Im sorry Rotund" The chief looked at the child before deciding "we'll keep him and Miran-" She did an annoyed expression before saying "yes yes ill keep this out of my report" And so the child first life or death tribulation was over.
