Lair: psycho heroes
28. The Birth of the Mother

Five hundred years ago, a small family was so poor. They had been blessed with a daughter who was so beautiful, but after a few days ago the little baby was suffering from a disease that was difficult to cure.

Hitsui and Tamano were very restless, they were not even able to treat their babies as they slightly resisted the rapid development of the disease.

On the night of the full moon, in the first winter. An Old Granny thrashed in front of the tent where they lived, the Old Granny asked for food and drinks.

His body was so shabby, his eyes had started to dry up between his facial wrinkles. "Please give me a little, I am very thirsty and very hungry. " Clear the Grandma.

"How is this, my lord? The supplies for winter were not there, but I felt sorry to see them. "

Hitsuziaki held gently both of his wife's hands. "Then we give wheat milk only. " Hitsui thrust a glass of whole-wheat gravy to the Old Grandma. "We just have this. "

The grandmother gulped down her drink hurriedly from thirst. "Thank you. " He rubbed the rest of the milk on the corner of his lips. But suddenly Tamano shouted from inside their room. Granny and Hitsui went there.

"Tamano, what's wrong? "

"Master... " Tamano crying. The grandmother immediately approached the Baby who was fast asleep with a pale face. "What are you doing... " Tamano held her husband.

"You think your baby's dead?" Tamano confirmed the statement.

"Is he okay? "

"He's alive, but he's dying. Has it been like this for a long time? "

The baby's parents agreed. Grandma also stood up. "Let's get him to the moon spring!"

"The moon's spring you say? You know it's the devil's residence, forbidden there! "

"Who told you? " They just fell silent and didn't answer Grandma's question. "That's just a bitch! The fact is that the kingdom is the one who limits it, because they know that the spring can treat all diseases. It is God's gift. "

Hitsui and Tamano face each other. Their hearts began to waver, they half believed and half did not. Is the old woman's words true? But there is no other choice for them. Because they want their baby to heal, and be able to grow up.

They rushed towards the moon spring guided by Grandma. They walked down a thick stretch of snow, braving a cold storm.

"This is the spring of the moon. " Obviously Grandma. Tamano and Hitsui. They did not expect the scenery would be as beautiful as it seemed to be nurtured by their eyes. They only know from the stories that circulate, that this place is scary.

"Hurry up and get him there! "

After they were very close to the source of the spring, the Grandmother put her body into the shallow pool in front of them.

"Put him in the water. " Tell grandma.

"You're crazy, the weather's so cold! How can I do that to my baby? " Hitsui Gertak.

"Do you want him dead? Do it now!"

Hitsui and Tamano took off the Baby's clothes and put them in the pool.

Suddenly, a light so brightly colored lunar blue appeared blinding the eyes. The figure of Grandma disappeared, she turned into a figure that was difficult to explain. That figure was so pretty that it was holding their baby.

The parents of the Baby just gaped and froze where they stood. Their baby was washed by the figure and began to cry.

As the baby's cry grew louder, the figure returned the Baby to both parents.

Tamano opened her eyes, and she woke up from her dream. Look around, but it's still in her room.

The baby Tomoe cried until she woke up the Father. Tamano held her up so she would stop crying.

"It seems like he's asleep again. " Tamano nodded. "Yes. "

Although he was uneducated he was very good at writing and reading by himself, he also had abilities that ordinary humans did not have.

But that is what makes him alone. Now ten years old, her mother had left three years ago when she was seven. Because of TB disease.

Since then his father made him a psychic to make money, many came to him to ask for something and many were afraid even he did not have a single friend. That makes him very frustrated.

"Tomos! Tomoe! Where're you? " Tomoe who heard his father's voice ran towards the forest and hid among the bushes.

"Back off! You won't be able to hide from me! "

Suddenly, a spider approached him. Tomoe yells, jumping out so she is found by her father.

Hitsui who found his daughter, pulled Tomoe and brought her home. In his house many people gathered.

"Dad I don't want to do it again. "

Her father did not listen to Tomoe's will. He was led to a group of people. He was forced to do as Hitsui told.

After all was done, even his father was intoxicated. Tomoe was annoyed, she ran towards the moon spring. When he arrived at the cave, Tomoe saw a flashback.

He returns to his home and tells his father all about it, but Hitsui considers it a fantasy of Tomoe. "Hahahaha, what are you talking about? Don't fantasize! You never die, your sick mother dies. "

Tomoe returned to her room, contemplating herself to sleep. The next day, Hitsui tells Tomoe to meet her friend. But Tomoe was so surprised, she could suddenly see what was going to happen to her.

"Dad are you going to sell me? "

"Hm, where did you... Ah, haha! "

Tomoe looked at Hitsui sharply. "Why do you see me like that. C'mon fast! "

As he was about to appear in front of the man, Tomoe let go of his father's grasp. Hitsui slammed, making everyone shocked and ran inside.

The surprised Tomoe came out of the back window, and ran into the moon spring. Sakamoto came to Hitsui who was lying on the ground.

"Master, Hitsui? " Sakamoto examined the man's body. "He's dead. " Sakamoto told the villagers.

Tomoe went into the cave. He saw a beautiful sight there. Until then, the villagers lost them.

"Hmmm, warm! " Tomoe flexed his body upon waking up. Tomoe has now become a very beautiful woman, with white skin, slightly purplish silver hair, and eyes that have two different colors.

He had been living in the moon spring cave for a hundred years. However, he never aged nor did he die.

A sparrow fell on his shoulder. "Pee, have you come? Then let's go to town!"

Tomoe wears a man's shirt, wears a hat and covers her face off with Pee to the city. He was going there to sell the firewood and charcoal he had been looking for in the forest. With that, he can also shop.

After work, Tomoe will usually visit the market and also the place to eat. When he was in a tavern, someone gave him a glass of camomile tea.

"I didn't order this. "

"This is a gift from the master there. " A man waved to her. He doesn't know my face. Tomoe lowered her head.

"Thank you. " The servant also left. Without a second thought the thirsty Tomoe immediately drank the tea.

But when he came home, something happened. He felt so sleepy on the road that he finally did not remember anything.
