The Dark Heir
The angel

2 Months later

"Gerald, do you know Attera village?" ask my mom when we were having tea together.

"Emm, I don't know.What's the matter?" my answer.

Mom smiled softly and sipped her tea before she started talking again.

"Mother spent her childhood there.Very different from your father who from the beginning was a noble child" said the mother began to tell stories.

There were only the two of us in this room.This room used to be a place for all family members to gather and relax.Just Lilia, and Robert was going with his father to buy food for Luna.

Luna is a Hellhound brought by Lilia.This hell guard dog is impressed as a pretty picky creature.Luna only wants food that is still alive like fish or rats.Either why it is like that.

"One day, the magic power of the mother began to rise.The healing magic power which at that time was considered a weak power", continued the mother.

"Until one day a plague befalls the village of Attera.The symptoms are very terrible, infected people will vomit blood in pitch black and blood vessels will begin to enlarge as if they will break", continued the mother who still told me.

"That's when the mother and several healer magic users played a role.We became a respected and considered person in the village of Attera" said the mother with a smile.

I just fell silent to hear what mom said.Slowly I sipped my tea.It doesn't feel bad either.

"Be careful Gerald, there are times when your strength is considered weak or scary for people.But rest assured that someday, your strength will be the strength most needed and appreciated by people", said the smiling mother looking at me.

I turned my gaze towards both of my hands.My dark power would certainly be considered a curse by others.

"Then I hope a lot for you son, use your strength for good.One day people will realize that kindness is a privilege of your strength" said Mother as she stroked my head.

I looked at my mother's beautiful face.Smooth light seemed to shine on her warm face.The touch from her hands felt very smooth.

Lately I began to think.Thinking what my mother and father have done to me.The gift that will never be replaced.

When I was just starting to learn to walk, my mom and dad helped me.They held my hands together and slowly led me.

They are also the first to receive my power.Other people will certainly hate me when they see my power.The power of darkness will certainly be seen as a cursed power in the eyes of mankind.

Mother and father never left me.They accepted me for who I was, not at all concerned with my magic power.

"Well, Gerald, do you want to come with me? We'll make a cake to eat tonight", take mom.

"Of course I want mom!" I answered while nodding quickly.

She took my hand and together we would make something that made Lili, Robert, and dad happy.

...****************...

"Hey Gerald, try cutting the berry" said the mother while her hands were still making dough.

"Good ma'am", I answered.

I grabbed a knife that was near my mother.This berry looks like a fruit in my previous world.Although it tastes more sour than the one in my home world.

"www"

Ah shit, I accidentally sliced my finger.Fresh blood looks dripping from my index finger.

"Geez Gerald! You're bleeding!" I cried, mother saw me so much.

He grabbed my injured finger.His face looked very worried.Oh, this is just an ordinary wound.Wounds like this will not harm my life at all.

But she looked very worried, she held my index finger tightly and started picking things up.

Slowly a bright and soft light comes out of the hands of the mother.It feels quite cold and comfortable.

"Alright it should be done" said the mother removing her hand.

I looked at the wound on my finger, my eyes were wide open, and so was my mother.

My wounds did not heal at all.Fresh blood is still seen flowing there.If mother has given a healing magic spell that does not need to doubt her ability.

"Let's try again, Gerald"

I nodded slowly.Honestly, I was quite surprised to see what happened.Mother who is a well-respected person in the medical world of Heragon Kingdom, can not heal the small wounds caused by being sliced by a knife.

"What you're doing is free, ma'am" said one woman from behind me.

My mother and I looked directly at the source of the voice.Nyx was seen smiling as he waved his hand at us.

"What do you mean?" ask the mother who still looks panicked.

"Simple madam, your strength is a holy power.Meanwhile your son's strength is a power that is considered cursed.You will not be able to do anything to him", replied Nyx bowed to see my wounds.

"Ja-so I can't do anything to Gerald with my powers?" said mom asked back.

"Oh of course you can still use your powers on Gerald"

"What-like?"

"It's like killing" Nyx replied casually.

"Basic fool!" I pulled Nyx's ear.

Nyx this really sucks.He didn't think long before putting out his words.

"I-I feel like a failure" said the mother, sobbing.

I gave my sharp gaze to Nyx.As if to say, "Explain and apologize to my mother you stupid!".

Nyx looks the wrong way.He scratched the back of his head like a person who feels guilty.When I am sure, this creature has absolutely no guilt.

"E-em this is how I mean madam, you may really not be able to heal the wounds that happened to Gerald.Te - but you can still train Gerald to be a person like you" explains Nyx.

This time I pinched Nyx's arm.May he speak such nonsense.

I turned my eyes to my mother, she was not crying like before.

"Mom, I'm really okay" I said holding both hands.

"You are indeed a good son of Gerald, the mother really felt useless" replied the mother.

"Of course not ma'am, did you forget that you were the one who first welcomed me when I was born in this world?"

Her face looks a little bright, unlike before.

"You really have a very mature mind son" replied the mother.

At least my mother did not look as sad as before.

"Well, do you still want to continue making cakes with mom?" ask mommy.

I nodded quickly, besides, my wound was no longer bleeding and did not hurt at all.

"Emmm can I help?" ask Nyx.

I glared at him, like telling Nyx to go and not bother us.

With a warm smile, he allowed Nyx to make a cake with us.

That afternoon was a very pleasant day for me.The day where we had fun and tried hard to make a cake.And of course, Nyx helped.When he was only limited to decorating the cake.

Ahh that day was really fun.

Seriate....
