Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

In the sweet dark of night, under the sweet light of the beautiful moon and sparkling stars, sitting by the lovely bonfire, I looked at my mom.

She was calm and serious.

She was also holding dad and my hand gently but tightly, meaning the thing she was going to say was something important.

I glanced at dad but he also looked as confused as I.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke in a happy, excited voice.

“Honey~. Eon~. We are… having a baby!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, my mind went blank.

It wasn’t that I didn’t hear her.

I heard her loud and clear and, something inside me melted.

Dad was shocked at first then he jumped up smiling.

He smiled and laughed the brightest I had ever seen him.

He lifted mom high and spun around in circles.

Mom also laughed with the brightest smile I had seen her.

But, I stayed still.

My mind was thinking about many things right now.

In my previous life, there was no one with me.

I had no one and I had always thought of how my life had turned out if I had a sibling.

A little sister or a little brother…?

How would have I lived back then?

Maybe… much better than how I did, right?

Caring for a little sibling, playing with them, going out, and doing fun things.

Spoil them a bit and scold them sometimes…

I had dreamed of such things many times back then.

I envied others and longed for the same happiness.

I even tried to open up to others but… the fear of losing them never went away.

But now… I had everything I wanted.

I had a family.

And now… I will also have a little sibling.

My once lost dream… will actually be real.

Tears started flowing out of my small eyes.

Clear, crystal-like tears.

I was happy, the happiest I had ever been.

Maybe… more than my parents.

They looked at me with a warm smile and sighed.

I was happy and they knew that.

Though they didn’t know about my past life, they knew I was special in many ways.

They had seen the unnatural loneliness in my eyes so, they understood me best.

Sitting down by my side again, they hugged me gently.

I buried my head in their warm embrace.

I was happy and the tears coming out of my closed eyes seemed endless.

In reality, it would be weird that I was crying after hearing that I was going to become a big brother.

But, they understood this weirdness of mine.

With the cool breeze of the night, I closed my eyes.

Today was long and full of surprises, good ones that I will remember forever.

***

First rays from the rising sun passed through the window of a large bedroom, stopping on the bed.

Beautiful women with beautiful long blond hair, a handsome man with black hair, and a pretty boy with golden-blond hair were sleeping on the big bed.

My eyes twitched slightly as the sunlight fell exactly on my eyes.

Slowly opening my eyes, I saw my precious baby and lovely husband sleeping peacefully.

A bright morning’s beautiful view warmed my eyes.

They both looked supeeeeeeeeeeeer cute, whenever they slept together like this.

My hand unconsciously went up, and I caressed both of their heads.

I put my hand on the small, soft cheeks of my little boy and stroked them gently.

He had fallen asleep after crying his eyes out in happiness. .

He was special but nothing could change the fact that he was my son.

I knew he had things he had never told us but, there was no point in knowing them.

I knew everything there was to know about my son and if one day, he wanted to say something, I would listen quietly.

Just like he does…

Just then, his long golden eyelashes moved slightly.

He slowly opened his beautiful red eyes and looked at me.

“Good morning mom…”

He was still somewhat asleep which looked very cute~!

He pulled up his body and I did the same.

Sitting on the bed, I looked at my husband who was still asleep.

Eon pulled his daddy’s cheeks, still half asleep.

I managed to not laugh at this. With much difficulty.

“Hmm~.”

With a weird sound, he opened his eyes.

I knew that sound, maybe Eon didn’t but, I knew.

No point in talking about that deeply.

He also opened his eyes slowly and looked up at us.

“Rise and shine, sleepyhead,” I cheerfully greeted him.

He also pulled himself up, still half asleep.

Looking at Eon, he nodded his head.

“Good morning, both of you,” he greeted in a tired voice.

“Morning dad…”

In unison, they both yawned with their hand on their mouth.

I smiled, looking at them with warm eyes.

Brian looked up at me and then his eyes fell downwards.

“Good morning to you too, little one,” he said smiling softly.

Now he was fully awake, and the comment also erased Eon’s sleep.

Looking at me, or more precisely where Brian was looking, he waved his hand.

“Hi, baby,” he said awkwardly.

I laughed loudly and patted his head.

Brian stood up and opened the large window behind him.

Walking on the other side, he sat beside me.

This morning was beautiful.

And to make it even better, we heard a loud familiar scream from the outside.

-Skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Eon maybe didn’t know what this sound was but, he was going to find out soon.

I nodded at Brian and tapped on my wriest.

My purple bracelet with the golden jewel appeared and, tapping on the gem, a glove came out in my hand.

Handing the unique glove to Brian, I looked at Eon.

“Eon~. Do you know about familiars?”

He nodded and started speaking, or precisely giving a full explanation.

“They are unique beasts that a mage makes a pact with.

The relationship between a familiar and master is the same as parent and child.

They make the pact of life, meaning that their lives would forever depend on each other.

If the familiar or a master dies then, the other can’t make another pact for a lifetime.

Familiar’s pact varies from person to person or, from beast to beast.

The abilities shared between familiar and master also varies greatly…”

He was saying those things like it was nothing.

His details were deep but, this wasn’t the point right now.

“Ok, Eon. Now, do you want to see one?” I asked with an excited smile.

His eyes widened in surprise and he nodded vigorously.

“Yes!” he shouted.

Brian looked back and smiled at us.

Extending his hand with the glove outside the window, he waited a second.

-Skyyyyyy~.

With a melodious scream, a green bird landed on the brown glove.

The bird was large but, it was very lightweight as if air.

We could feel it just from looking at it.

“Meet Tuuli, a [Great wind eagle]. They can travel at a very fast speed across long distances. This one is especially here from the capital.”

I had many people with familiars working with or under me and this one was special among all of them.

Her master was also a special person.

Eon’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

He ran forward and stood before it.

“Can I touch her?!” he hurriedly asked, still excited before touching her.

“Though it won’t do anything, it won’t like to be touched by stran-”

Before Brian could finish, Eon starched out his hand and gently caressed her.

Brian got worried that she would do something and prepared to turn his hand if something happens.

Surprisingly, she liked his touch.

She happily played with him, shaking her head, laughing.

This was… weird.

If you don’t have an affinity towards the particular beast, they tend to react aggressively.

‘Then again, he had a natural affinity to all six elements…’

My little baby was special in many ways maybe even he didn’t know.

Shaking my head, I smiled and took the piece of paper Brian took from Tuuli’s leg.

My smile deepened as I read the contents of the small letter.

Eon stopped and looked at me.

“Mom, what’s that?”

He asked and pointed his little finger towards the letter.

I smiled and answered quietly, with small tears on the ends of my eyes.

“We… are going home~.”
