Road Through Damnation.
Chapter 3
My Mother 1
(A.N I am repeating myself this last time because I would not reply to questions about Anna name change to Linda. I said, I would use Linda in public, but use Anna when she is in private.)
Anna opened her eyes with a start, as she felt the early morning breeze on her body. She was relieved to see her baby sleeping soundly beside her. She had forgotten the crucial act of placing Drew in the baby cradle beside her bed. She was glad the situation of the two prostitutes did not befall her.
Anna gently wrapped her hands around Drew and kissed him softly on his forehead. She stroked his white hair gently and placed him in the baby cradle beside the bed.
“Finally free at last.” Anna said jokingly as she thought of her hellish 9 months. She now understood and felt what motherly affection was. It was such a warm feeling, and it gave her excess power to go plus ultra without any restrain. She loved this feeling and hoped she could use this emotion to aid her in her quest for strength. (A.N MHA reference)
“With the bulging stomach out of the way now, I can finally stretch my limbs and do some exercise to help in my mana circulation. How long has it been since I had a nice exercise?” Anna asked herself as she began to do some body stretch.
She did some push-up, squats, jumps, planks, and different forms of exercises. She did all these exercises with a smile; she could feel her mana circulating perfectly through its pathways which refreshed her.
If the midwives who treated Anna yesterday were present now, they would have felt shocked and looked at Anna with open mouths because they knew this young mother should be spent and be in bed trying to replenish her life force.
But unknown to them, powerful figures like Anna Blackson were no normal existences. They always defied the natural laws of nature itself with their presence. Anna was a person who stroke fear into the hearts of all her enemies and attracted reverence from all her allies because she was goddamn strong.
But Anna needs to hide now because she was now a wanted commodity on the other side of the continent. When her enemies got to know she was at her weakest they attacked her. Anna had always used her head despite her wild nature. She knew it was better to hide and gain enough strength than to fight a lost battle making her going into hiding.
Her pregnant status being a catalyst caused her to go through all these problems. But never did she hate the feeling of becoming a mother and she never regret that decision of hers.
Anna had to cross the continent of Pangea and lay low to escape from her captors. It was not easy in the first month, but she persevered. It was not easy especially when she settled among the commoners of this settlement, and she persevered her to.
Anna knew she had a lot of screws loose, but she loved it because it helped her in her journey to strength. That is why she refused to interact with the people in this settlement. She was afraid to kill or injure the worms (commoners) by mistakes caused by herself. She also did not want to move from this place because it provided for all her needs.
Anna being a child of royalty hated worms (commoners) and filthy things the most. She did not like the pretense she put up in front of her subjects, she hated that pretense to her very core because it was not her.
But surprisingly Anna fell in love with a wise and loving king, she would sometimes sit down for hours and question herself.
“How did I fall in love with Drew Blackson?”
After, Anna finished her exercises she went in for her a bath. She was still a bit exhausted after the arduous labor yesterday. After the bath she felt lazy, so she decided to summon a clone to help her prepare a meal to break her fast. Anna summoned her only clone and instructed it to cook a meal using an A-rank monster meat. But she was meet with the obvious rude reply.
“Anna I will not prepare the breakfast because I do not want to and you know I don’t like cooked food. It is blood and even the smell of cooked food sometimes makes me feel nauseous.” Anna’s clone said to her as she frowned. Anna sighed inwardly as she stared at her summoned clone.
“It seems restricting your movements nowadays is the only solution to this predicament.” Anna said staring into the eyes of her clone.
“Fine I would go bitch but let this order be its last.” The clone said angrily as she gazed back at Anna menacingly. The clone left the room grumbling angrily.
“Huh sometimes I wonder if the path I chose was right.” Anna said as she gawked at the back of the departing figure.
Anna decided to pick quality over quantity when she found out cloning being her first unique ability. The quality pick paid off because she was able to create another Anna who was far crazier and nastier than her. This Anna was the physical representation of Anna’s heartless side.
The clone inherited all Anna’s skills and ability with experience. The clone also had 95% of Anna’s basic stat meaning Anna herself was just slightly above the clone. If not for Anna being the original the clone would have killed her already.
The clone hated Anna to its very core and that hate intensified when it saw and got to know Anna had fallen in love with her deceased husband. This infuriated the clone to its core because it also began to harbor feelings for Anna late husband. Alas the clone was indeed another Anna, doing lovey-dovey things she hated and engaging in sex with the deceased husband.
Anna was still able to understand the clone’s emotions because she was the source of all those emotions.
“Whatever, I am a mother now, so I expect myself to be respectable and loving. All those sick tendencies and games need to stop now, or I fear I might turn my lovely son into another me. I do not want my priceless possession to hate me in the future.” Anna said as she lifted Drew from the baby cradle.
But our poor Anna knew little about Drew’s future exploits in this world because that child of hers was trouble.
(A.N No wonder the wife of our favorite ninja loves the cloning skill the most. Hahahahahaha get what I mean.)
Road Through DamnationChapter 4My Mother 2“I was a bit surprised when I saw this settlement in this part of the forest. The settlement had a warm and graceful feel to it. The constant melodious chirping of birds and branches of tress brushing each other gave this forest a mystic look. I had no choice but to appreciate this settlement made by worms(commoners).” Anna said to herself as she stared at the settlement from afar.She had been wandering for days now and the constant blabbering’s of her clone made her headache. She had been to various places to see if she could fit in, but all those places weren’t suitable for her.Anna knew she had to grow stronger to be able to protect the baby in her womb and to protect herself if her enemies were to appear before her again.Anna knew she was strong and could cause disasters with her presence on the battlefield, but she did not overestimate herself because she knew there were many people stronger than her.The pregnant Anna, after escapi
Road through DamnationChapter 5Realization 1Anna and Raven continued with their journey without any hindrance the following morning. They were happy to at least have released their pent-up frustrations. They continued with their journey until Anna managed to see a settlement which met her requirements.The settlement was situated in a highly dense mana forest and disconnected from the happenings of the outside world. Anna also knew there would be strong monsters in this forest to busy Raven as she turns into a mother.Anna just hopes this settlement would provide her with the protection she needed until she becomes strong enough to protect her baby and herself.Now Back to Where We Left Of.Drew woke up sweating a lot, he had a dream about one of his escapades with the police. It was not a pleasant dream because he remembered how his trusted ally sold him out.Since that day he promised to never rely on others for his needs or solutions to his problems. That experience taught him t
Road Through DamnationChapter 6Realization 2Drew was a bit annoyed when he became a catalyst for constant fights between Anna and Raven. Drew realized that both these women really hated themselves to the core despite being so alike. The constant fight and quarrels made his headache a lot.Even though Drew was now more than a week old he felt he was stronger than the average baby. He guessed it had to do with genetics and in fact mana.He could not see it per say but he felt it. It was like the wind, you cannot see it, but you can feel it. He knew he had 10 mana stats in his body, but he could not control it, he guessed he could do it as he grew older.After a week Drew finally accepted his faith, he knew he would not be going back to earth, it hurt him though, but he accepted his current predicament. He knew, he had to adapt to a life without Television, Games, Spicy food and women.He was bored as fuck; his mother would always leave him in the cradle and address to him if she sens
Road Through DamnationChapter 7Realization 3Drew’s POVWitnessing the fight between my moms’ felt surreal and out of this world. It looked like a simple confrontation between them, but I knew it was more than that.Both women were moving at insanely high speed for normal people. Also, the dents on the floor made by their feet showed the level of strength used.Lastly, I was also surprised and amazed by the magic my mother used, it was very practical, and I could see some uses of the flames. It felt natural when I saw my mother making that butterfly and firecrackers. It made me fear my mother more because I knew it took a great deal of control to be able to alter the forms of the fire.I never learnt any craftmanship skill in my previous life, but that did not mean I did not watch the work of crafters.I would always watch how crafters like carpenters turn wood into sophisticated pieces of arts. How hair beauticians manage to change the hair styles of people and even how goldsmiths
Road Through DamnationChapter 8So, This Is Mana 1Drew was trying to create the spark again, but he failed miserably. He did not know why he failed to do something he had done with ease previously.He tried the deep breath method, the mind soothing method and any other method he could think of but all those failed him miserably. Drew eventually got tired and fell asleep, he was just too exhausted. The mana gathering method was too exhausting for his infant body. Anna came to the room minutes later to check on Drew and what she saw frightened her.“OOOHHHHHH, MY GAWD DREW HAS MANAGED TO CHANNEL MANA WITHIN HIS BODY AT SUCH A SMALL AGE. EVEN I THE HAILED PRODIGY OF THE GENERATION WAS ABLE TO CHANNEL AND GATHER MANA AT THE AGE OF 9 MONTHS. BUT MY SON HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO IT AT A FAR YOUNGER AGE.” Anna jumped up in glee and joy as she shouted with all her might.(A.N Yeah, yeah, yeah I know the Gawd is spelled wrong I was trying to act cutesy.)She was jumping up and down until she felt
Road Through DamnationChapter 9So, This Is Mana 2Raven POVEver since I was brought into the world by Anna, I had this resentment against human beings in general. I did not like the fact that I was not a perfect human being, it felt really degrading because I saw myself as another Anna.But people did not see me in that light except Anna of course. One could say she is my mother to a certain extent, and I will not rebuke it. She was indeed my source of life and the only reason for my existence.I remember going through a lot of troubles in the first week of my life because Anna had no knowledge of how to tackle the problem of becoming a mother at the age of 13. She was clumsy and also a bit of a worry wart for most of the time, but her love was as pure as a virgin’s cunt. So cool, refreshing and extremely tight.I think during this time I got to understand how the first man and woman felt when God created them straight to adulthood. They might have felt pissed in all honesty becaus
Road Through Damnation Chapter 10 So, This Is Mana 3 Anna POV Why can I not find a loyal friend among all my so-called friends. I know they want benefits from me and surprisingly they are not trying to hide it. Instead, they try to hide their hate and jealousy for me. Whenever we go to school or when we attend social event, I assume they try to hide that hate and jealousy on their parent accord, but they always do a bad job on at it. Let us have this example here. I remember we had a certain test in school, and I managed to score the highest marks in the history of the establishment. So, I was awarded an A-rank mana stone and granted access to the school’s archives. I must tell you that place has a whole lot of books ranging from topics related to magic and topics revolving around sex. It had everything and I had the honor to select another student to join me to serve as a motivation for other students. I was delighted and decided to do the unthinkable when I selected my archr
Road Through Damnation Chapter 11 So, This Is Mana 4 Drew had always found the antics of his two mothers to be funny. He found it funny because it was his first-time having parents of the same gender. He found it weird too because his culture frown on such acts, but what can he do. He was now in a new world with endless possibilities and knowledge hidden from sight. But Drew could still not shake off the feeling that his mothers were in fact the same person. He could not prove that theory now, but he did not see it as being impossible in the distant future. He was still tired and exhausted because of the mana gathering theory he used. So, after the constant failures he got tired and feel asleep. Only to be awaken by his mothers’ arguments again. Drew found it frustrating and unpleasant, but he decided to listen to their blabbering’s’ anyway because he was still trying to learn the language spoken in this world. After constantly listening to his parents argue among themselves dur
