Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"Eon? You ready?" I asked when we reached the communication orb in the garden.

He was nervous that he was going to see his whole family this time.

This child had no idea about himself, but he will know about it today.

He was nervous but, at least the smile on his face showed he was fine.

Looking at me with calm eyes, he nodded with a smile.

He was a tough one, even from my point of view.

In all the long lives I had lived in this nature, all the creatures I had met and all the humans I had seen were far different from this one.

He was different; in his astral and physical body.

He was a reincarnation, so he had the natural advantage over other humans but, his origin... was special too.

There had been many reincarnations throughout the history of this continent, but none of them had an origin related to the sun.

Not a human, at least.

As someone born from it, I knew just how deep this origin was, and calling it superior among all other origins wouldn't be false.

Nature was deep and understanding her future intentions were difficult to even for someone like me.

Even though I once stood on the pinnacle of the world and looked down at mortals, as time passed, I understood the truths of this vast world.

They concerned me, and he will have to face them inevitably.

His fate was filled with thorns, but it was as warm as the gentle touch of sunlight.

I had to build the foundation for his future during the time he had me. After that, he will start his new life.

His new life as someone stronger than before and a better being than he was now.

He was no pure being, nothing was in the true self.

What we consider good, pure, or nice might be bad, cruel, or evil for others.

Even the world didn't have a single point of view against the good-evil thing.

Though his life had been something unimaginable, his past was not something one could look away from.

He had some darkness deep inside him and he knew I knew everything about him.

That darkness was part of him, and nothing can be perfect.

But it would be his strength when he would have to face his worst enemies... and he knew that, too.

His past was nothing ordinary, and he was someone that had lived a life of solitude.

But, in this life, he had people to protect.

People to love.

And... people to relay on.

He wasn't alone, and that was his path.

I had the greatest wisdom but, even I didn't know exactly what would happen in the future.

But, from however I knew, I knew he will be ok.

The people that will come into his life, the special person he will meet, to the dramatic things that might happen in the future.

But, I can't be certain of anything.

Well, I will make him strong enough to stand on his own when needed.

They will be with him anyway and, if things went right, this little grandson of mine will meet someone as special as him.

His... special someone, something he didn't think was possible in his dark previous life.

'Haaa... I'm too old, but this era sure would be fascinating.' I thought as he stood before the crystal orb.

Nodding at him, I started the artifact.

-Ooooooooong.

The connection connected, and the view of the other side became visible.

This artifact used thoughts and feelings as a reference to search for the one you want to talk with and, this time, his parents were gathered in a bedroom with many other people.

There were some quite interesting people among them, and everyone was eager to talk with their beloved Eon.

He was more famous than he can think there, but he will only realize it after some time.

So, their meeting might have needed more time than what we had, but alas... they would have to think of something else if they wanted to talk more.

And just telling them was no fun.

Luckily, there was someone capable enough to figure out the key to this.

Their child was fine with me so, even though they had made that unique thing to know of his conditions that went complex every once in a while, they didn't have to worry about him.

This little one was fun to teach so, we were getting closer to each other every passing day, something that I had never thought could happen in this long time.

What can I do though?

He was special... as well as cute.

Teasing him was also one of the best things happening in this boring life of mine.

After coming here and creating this special place in this hell for normal, I had no reason to even do anything.

This was my grave, and I was spending a lazy, comfortable life doing things I wanted.

I had decided that this would be my home for the rest of my life, but then... he showed up here.

Came would be inappropriate since he was almost dead back then, but, well, he was nothing less than a miracle.

His teased face was cute, and even from my point of view, this child was beautiful.

His mind was also similar to mine, making him perfect to be my successor.

Though he was no genius like some he will meet, he had the strongest will to learn and a mind that could remember everything.

He was an excellent kid but...

He was pitiful.

***

Though I was nervous, the excitement was clear in my behavior.

The crystal ball was being connected like last time and after three months of harsh training, I could talk to them again.

I had said that I would call them at this time but, things might be different there.

I had to control my beating heart.

This bastard that didn't react even in the face of death was now on a rollercoaster ride.

I knew little about them but, just meeting them in the short time we had would be good enough.

If we had more time, we might have talked more but, this was still good enough for me.

The picture cleared up, and a beautiful bedroom appeared on the other side.

Mom, dad, and my darling little sister Anna were sitting together, probably waiting for me.

There were another two families of three with them.

The first one had a handsome man with short sea-blue hair and sea-blue eyes, a fine body, and an alluring and dignified lady with red hair and green eyes, sitting with each other.

The man was anxious, and the lady was comforting him.

A young girl with similar red hair and sea-blue eyes with a sword around her waist was looking around, waiting for something to happen.

Something similar was happening on the other side.

A man with a stern posture, green shirt, and thick black clock around his shoulders was holding hands with a beautiful lady with pink hair and... wow.

I could tell just from looking that… those purple eyes were special.

The restless boy on the other side had the same eyes as this lady and hair as the dignified man.

These were two families, and they were quite special in themself but... not as much special as the one on the very back.

A middle-aged couple that looked more attractive than others were waiting patiently with an old man in a butler-like outfit by the door.

The lady with long, ocean blue hair, that seemed like part of the ocean itself and eyes like mom, was sitting on a small couch with the middle-aged man.

The most special person in this entire room and someone with short blond hair and a perfectly groomed beard with sea-blue eyes... I couldn't believe it.

I knew this person. In fact, almost the whole of the empire knew this person.

He who had won countless wars, someone whose mere presence could change the winds of the battlefield.

The [Golden Hammer] and an imperial hero.

12th seat of the [House Of Prism], one of the 18 knights [Kings] of the great Roxana empire.

Someone I looked up to and dreamed of meeting at least once in my life.

That very person I couldn't mistake for anyone else… was sitting in the same room as my family.
