Felix approached the distant house. Around him, there was a small field, a well, and dozens of felled trees. While the birds sang their songs, the cry of the baby in Felix's arms frightened everyone. They flew off to other branches, and the cry clearly signaled to the occupants of the house that someone was approaching.

The door slowly swung open, and a man with an axe emerged from it.

"Who are you?" In the village, there was only one newborn baby, and he was with Maryena.

"Felix."

The woodsman interrupted the kind and defenseless man with the baby.

"What do you want? Why have you come?"

He pointed the axe at Felix, and his cry was filled with rage.

"Calm down, man."

Felix took a couple of steps back.

"Are you going to give me orders?"

The man with the axe lunged at Felix, but a sharp blow to the jaw made him freeze. Immediately after that, Felix struck him with the palm of his hand, breaking his nose. The man fell to the ground and didn't move, but Felix's hand, instinctively wanting to finish the man off with a blow to the throat, stopped at the last moment. Felix simply spat in his face and walked toward the house.

"Forgive me, Mother. I am a great sinner, defiling your great will..." Felix spoke as he entered the house.
