The infant once found was passed around from person to person, and once he had calmed down his eyes went to a blank stare. It seemed that once the chill of the air was off of his body, his emotions turned to a neutral state. Though he was an infant, there was something behind his golden eyes, a wisdom that preceded his infantile appearance. It was as if he was absorbing the words and emotions of the beings passing him around.
Hungry…yes..yes you are.
The infant winced as words forced their way into his mind. It was a jumbled mess of tones and voices. Though he soon returned to his normal apathetic gaze, as they entered the portal to Elysia. The air became warmer, the chill of the mountains was now gone. They had taken him to a safe place, one where he would feel instantly relaxed. Still the infant showed no emotion. The hunger had finally set in as well, and the child was soon giving disgruntled looks. Xeik was quick to find a wet nurse to alleviate the situation, though it seemed young Rez did not like any of them. Not for a lack of hunger, but an excess of it. The infant latched on quickly to the breasts of the wet nurses, but none of the could handle the extreme heat coming from his hands and lips. They quickly handed the child back to Xeik.
It was then the woman in dark clothes appeared, she was shapely and….appetizing to the infant. His distant gaze became focused on the woman, and then he winced in pain, as the voices returned.
You will hurt her like the others….like you hurt us.
The voices cleared as he was passed off to the woman. It was not the bottle Rez wanted. As she tried to feed him, his tiny hands grasped towards her ample bosom. He was attempting to feed through her clothes, but no matter how hard he tried to suckle no milk came. This seemed to frustrate the infant, causing an intense heat to radiate from his hands and mouth, burning the woman's clothing. Though there was an intense pain, the woman only let out an audible gasp, weather it was shock or pleasure was something only she knew. She only held the infant closer, her face turning red.
" Poor thing, no matter how much you try, nothing will come out."
Her voice cooed at Rez, her hands running through his crimson hair. The infant only responded by increasing the heat from his body to such an intensity, that the tropical air of Elysian began to steam. The heat only increased in intensity with every second that the infant was denied his food, even if the woman could not give it to him. Then as soon as the heat began it was stopped by the removal of the child from her arms by Xeik. The baby was set aside, and the woman healed of her burns, but she did not seem to be afraid of Rez, but rather excited by the pain. Exhausted from expending such a vast amount of energy the infant closed his eyes and fell asleep, unsatisfied. The last words in his ears, were that of Simone's motherly tone.
The next morning, was chaos. The cradle that his new parents had set up for him was in ashes, an in its place was no longer an infant, but a six year old child looking embarrassed. Rez had grown rapidly overnight and because of the heat released, set his bedding on fire. His emotions were in flux, though he still had an uncaring look in his eyes, his cheeks showed his embarrassment. Much like a child who had wet their bed. Something welled up inside of him, a primal need for that certain someone, though he did not know her.
" MOMMY!" He cried out, he had no memories of the night before, or memories of the unfamiliar place he was in. The new sensations pelted at his fragile mind. It was not only the memories of the night before, he could not recall his name, or anything at all. He could only cry out for the one thing a child needed.
Would she even come…did she even exist?
