"Chirp, chirp."

The chirping of the birds and the rustling of the leaves of huge trees attracted my sight .

Like usual, I was looking out of my class towards the trees and birds that always made me feel at ease .

The sudden tremors then came to my senses. They shook everything within my sight- they were surely the tremors of an earthquake. 

Before I could even react, I lost consciousness, and then a sudden darkness was the only thing that I could see. While I was confused- what had actually happened? Maybe I died. It makes sense. Afterall, I wasn't even able to react.

The darkness never went away, but I still waited- and the wait was not worthless. Finally, after those long months of waiting, I finally opened my eyes, and I was literally sure that just now-I had been born into a new world. After all, the hospital was totally different than in my old world. The room where i opened my eyes was a clean, white-painted room just with a bed in it.

I thought that at least my first sight could have captured something better than that white room with nothing in it expect a bed I was resting.

While I was alone in that whole room, it didn't take me much time to realise my situation in that world.

I started progressing slowly, trying to explore this new world. And the first problem i needed to solve to explore this new world was to learn their language. After all, what they were saying or talking never came to my understanding until my first birthday.

It took me a whole year to learn their language. I know I may have taken a very long time just to learn their language, but I do not regret it.

After learning their language, it became easy for me to explore this new world. I always tried to gain more information- hence, I always went to the market with my mom. Once, when I did the same, I misheard a conversation:

"Hey, you know yesterday I learned the Aura arts."

"Lair, don't lie."

 

"I am not lying."

"Oh? Then show your Aura arts."

      

"Hey! I am not lying!"

while this conversation that I heard in the market obviously made me question- What is Aura arts? I kept this question in my mind until dinner, when I finally asked it from my dad. And my dad was like, "Huh? Honey look! Our son is speaking! He is speaking!" He surely shouted it loud.

well, but whatever- Dad didn't answer my question. So i asked it again, "Dad what is Aura arts ?"

Father clenched his fist. His expression changed all of a sudden, too-it felt like i had asked something i shouldn't have asked.

Mother and father suddenly started discussing something, while their voices were low enough that I was not able to tell what they were talking-until Father shouted- "Honey I don't get it! what's wrong if our son becomes a skeptiliar?"

At the next moment, Mother counters that question with a calm voice- "skeptiliar? Why that? Is here any less thing?"

Father was surely confused After all, he said, "Uh... honey, what are you trying to say?"

Mother said to Father, "what I mean is-why to suffer when he can live a better life even without suffering?"

I was totally someone in this conversation who didn't knew what they were talking about. While Father surely looked like he had nothing to answer to that question of Mother-maybe that's why he went silent all of a sudden, even though it surely looked like he understood all Mom tried to make him understand.

We silently completed dinner and went to our separate rooms. But my unanswered question was still in my mind. No wonder i was not able to sleep. While still laying on my fluffy bed, the night sky visible from my window easily caught my eye.

As I was still watching the night sky from my bed, the door of my room made a low creak sound.

As I turned, I realised it was Father.

He entered the room silently, closing the door carefully, making sure not to make noise.

He sat on the floor silently.

Watching him, I sat upright on my bed.

"Son" he said,"so, let me tell you that who a skeptiliar is..."
