Chapter 627 - Benladra’s Happiness
-----
Since she was reborn in Yggdrasil that Benladra had been experiencing all sorts of things and had been living many things that she never had in her previous life.
The little girl lacked a lot in various parts, and wasn't the brightest either, she was slowly learning how to speak the words of this world, but it might take a long time before she can even say complete sentences.
Her powers include the ability to conjure a magic exclusive to angels, and even to see glimpses of the future, but she's still a child, and in her previous life, she very much died as a child as well.
In her first days after being born, she often had nightmares of when she died in her previous life, of being showered in bullets that pierced her skin and made her suffer, only to wake up once more and begin to cry every night.
But her parents were there for her, and would gently and patiently hold her in their arms, kiss her, caress her, and tell her that everything was alright and that there was no need to be afraid.
Benladra didn't understand many of their words, but she began to slowly understand them, as she grew fond of her new parents just as quickly. She hugged them when they held her, and even kissed them back like they did, imitating their behavior.
Since her previous that she had never felt the warmth of a hug, nor the love of a gentle kiss in her cheeks or forehead… Every day, her fears and nightmares slowly began to go away.
Although she still dreamed about that incident, she didn't do it as much as before, as the comfort, love, and comprehension of her parents was just way too much for her to even begin to think this life was bad.
Of course, as a baby, she really didn't knew how she landed here. She didn't knew how she ended. She didn't knew about the concept of death itself either. She didn't knew what was happening… but she felt like things might be alright now.
However, at the beginning, she didn't thought if she was dying or something, she lacked an understanding of what was that. In her very last moments, she only thought about the pain and suffering she felt, and how terrible it was.
But then, that pain ended disappearing, for her to be dragged elsewhere, a dark and endless void where whatever things she thought became something, gifts, powers, or anything else, although even then, she didn't had any comprehension or knowledge about what she had acquired.
When she was reborn, she felt inside of her mother's womb, and only rested for a long time, but manifested her powers when her mother, the one she grew close to without even interacting with was in a dire need for help. She helped her mother in her direst moments and after that, she returned to sleep.
Until she was born and got to meet a new world, colors like she had never seen before, smell, touch, and more… it all felt quite beautiful. She didn't knew how this even happened, but she was suddenly brought elsewhere, with new and strange, blue-skinned people.
At first, she as scared and cried, but after a bit, she slowly calmed down and recognized her mother a bit, and then her father whom she didn't knew before slowly grew on her, and she loved him as well. She recalled two words of her previous life, somehow, papa and mama.
And she called them like that because she thought they were her papa and mama, although deep down, she still recalled her father from her previous life, that mysterious man that wore sunglasses that was always looking at her with contempt, as he did his own things, that one mysterious man named Ivan.
He was after all the only person that was always there for her since her creation as a clone in her previous life. Of course, she didn't knew she was a clone, and Ivan always referred her as Miranda, despite being a clone that wasn't really his daughter anymore, it had another soul, and it was effectively another person.
But he didn't knew, and she didn't knew. They were both clueless about their own circumstances, a father blinded by the desire to bring back his daughter, and a child lost in everything, who was born by the lunatic mind of a man obsessed with the past.
When she died, Benladra was reborn in a new world, and now, after almost a months since then, she began to realize that perhaps she wasn't in the same place as before, as she developed her body, her little and mysterious wings, and that time she unleashed a flash of bright light from her mouth, she realized she wasn't a normal little girl…
She realized there were many mysterious and fantastical things everywhere, and that she herself was also just as fantastical… She was reprimanded by her parents for having released that light, as they told her it was dangerous.
In that time, she cried because she felt afraid of being a monster, something that would harm others, and in such sorrow, she cried. However, her parents realized that reprimanding her wasn't really the way to do it, especially because she was still a baby, and apologized to her, comforted her, and caressed her until she felt better.
Benladra always felt happy to be loved, hugged, and given all the care of the world, she had never been given such warmth before, and it made her feel complete. After having lived a first life filled with coldness and pain, she was finally given comfort and warmness.
And in that time, she was brought to the gardens was when she realized that the world was way bigger and vaster than she ever thought, there was a whole world outside waiting for her, a whole world of endless possibilities, an endless blue sky, and a beautiful garden of flowers…
This was… life.
