The Magus of Genesis

Episode 5: Journey/Journey of Life

When I woke up. I realized that I could not move.

I can't move my hands, my legs, my pickles, and on the contrary, I can't open my eyes.

It's dark everywhere around here, and I wonder if this is the post-mortem world...... blurry, I remember thinking that.

Not only could I not feel anything, but the thought itself was a lot blurry, and I couldn't think of anything as difficult as it was in the midst of a mellow.

The first thing I felt in that was the feeling that it wasn't heat or cold, it wasn't pain or suffering, it was just thirsty. It grew stronger and stronger, and I couldn't bear to look for water and reach out.

Then I learned a somewhat limp feeling at my fingertips and my thirst soon healed. And I realized what I was now.

I was a single grass. He had just cracked the seeds, stretched the roots, and sucked the water up from the soil. I wondered how this could have happened, but I didn't really despair. From now on, it wasn't much of a story that I was reborn but grass was ahead of me, but you didn't even have enough head to think deeply about it. Because it's grass.

It must have been a good place to grow up too. I grew up quickly, spreading leaves, and eventually blossomed. And I went through the season... and finished my second raw.

I finished raw so short that I laughed compared to the first time, for the third time. The next thing I was reborn was a butterfly. Even so, shortly after you were born, you're a little potato worm. This was the hardest time. Whatever it is, the maiden is more of a potato worm.

You can't see my darling like this. I wish I still had flowers. So I was stunned. I know I used to be a person. This is how I was reborn, and why.

But I couldn't remember when it happened. When was the first time I took it away?

That didn't seem like a big problem though. I know it was the past. How much it was in the past isn't that much of a problem. … that's what I thought then. It turned out to be a big mistake though.

Eventually I grew into a butterfly after a chrysanthemum, and I wondered if I could still see my face in this… I was eaten by the fish that jumped out of the river and ended my life as a butterfly. In time, I think it was probably shorter than when it was a flower.

The fourth raw is...... yes, it is. It was a fish. Maybe he was a fish child who ate me of butterflies. Flower seeds with my ashes as a source of nourishment. Butterfly eggs sucked on the nectar of that flower. The fish child who ate that butterfly. In that way, I think you once connected your life.

And every time, the memory is missing. Now it was' why '. Why am I thus repeating my rebirth? That's what I forgot. But...... I have to, I have to go see that guy. That kind of strong thought remained.

So I needed a body that could move a wider range. It was obvious that the place you were aiming for was shore, so there's nothing you can do with fish. The head of the fish could also understand the terms of rebirth, so I deliberately let the beast capture and eat it.

The fifth raw was the beast... armored bear. And I... lost 'who'. For whom are you repeatedly reincarnated? That was a bitter decision. Because I forgot about the last person I wanted to forget.

But forget it. But I remembered that I had to stay. Besides, even if you forget who that is... because your feelings for that person hadn't disappeared at all.

And next to the beast, it was a man. If it's the body of an armored bear, only people have natural enemies. It was easy to find out. I received my sixth raw as a man… instead I lost 'how'.

The last memory I have left is' Where to '. The Promised Land, the Place to Return… Teacher and Our Home. If you go there, I'm sure everything will work out. Even if you forget when, why, for whom, and how you're reincarnating... go there, my dear. If you meet' Sensei ', it'll all work out.

I was foolishly thinking about it.

It's stupid, isn't it? Even though I know where that is... I had no idea how to get there.

... Was it separated from the sea? Really, there's no way you can get there.... Maybe when I was a fish, my parent fish crossed the ocean.

That is how I spent my life as a person for no reason… I feared.

I don't know what the hell I'm repeating this rebirth from 'when'. I don't even know why or whose it is I'm doing it for. I also forgot 'how', so I don't even know what I'm reincarnating into next.

But I knew somewhat only that I would be reincarnated into something close, so I turned away the elf thoroughly. I just didn't want to be reincarnated into an elf.

... Oh, really? As the villagers persecute non-human beings because of that... I don't know what that is... I'm sorry. I was desperate, too.

And later in life. I went to the mountains to be drawn… I don't remember exactly, but the white dragon must have eaten me. And I was born as that child.

This body now. Seventh time, raw.

Instead, I had forgotten everything. All that remains is a sense of impatience and an unfilled sense of absence. I even lost "somewhere" … I was just waiting for the existence to fill that lost thing.

Even so, it was difficult at a young age. Even when it comes to dragons, white dragons are the weakest dragons. Masiro was ahead of him, who was unable to build a territory and fled to be chased by other dragons. Without deep forests, wide marshes, and high mountains, that Maara land is less suitable for dragons to live in. But you were suitable for people to live in.

From there on out, as you know. I am symbiotic with half men, half exploited... as a white dragon I live a long life, live, and beyond.

─ ─ I met you again.

After a long long story, I breathed, and Eye looked up at me with her moist eyes.

"So... this way, I can't wait to be with Mr. Lyoji again in a mix. It seems like a dream... and it just kind of disappears."

I know how that feels. Because I thought the exact same thing.

However…… the thoughts put into it will not be the same.

"I've always missed you………………"

Eye hugs me all the time, burying his face in his chest and whining.

The feeling of time length is not constant. Though I spend many times more time as a dragon than I did in my life when I was a person, it was a thousand years in a flash if it passed because I was originally a long-lived species.

But that millennium for Eye is enough time to start over again seven times. Even if I spent more than half of it as a white dragon, it would have been an immeasurably long journey.

I had Nina. All the swordsmen, the students, the daughters, the companions, they supported me all the time. But Ai walked the journey alone, lost everything, and still didn't give up... he made it this far.

"Finally, I was able to live up to my promise. This will keep you company forever."

Eye raises his face from my chest and looks up at my eyes.

"I love you, Mr. Lyoji. I won't let you miss me again."

And I laughed and whispered so.
