Grey POV:

An ocean of darkness. That's what I could see? or feel? I don't know, as I couldn't feel my physical body. But my senses told otherwise. Then suddenly in this vast nothingness, a bright purple butterfly manifested in front of me and started flying around me. I felt like a kid in its presence.

After a few rounds, it flew in a certain direction as if beckoning me to follow. I did as my instincts told and followed it. Soon something similar to an entrance or a portal appeared in that direction. I couldn't resist as I felt my entire being pulled towards it. As the light enveloped me, I felt pain. A lot of it, which made me feel like the phosphorus torture I was subjected to back then was a cake walk. It felt like my bones were torn down and joined together, my eyes burned and I felt like my body was being pricked by a thousand needles. But along with it I felt like I was getting stronger by the second.

I felt them. My limbs, my mouth and soon the distant ringing in my ears turned into audible chatters. I tried opening my eyelids which felt like they were closed shut by a tape. When I finally did open my eyes, I was horrified to see multiple huge beings with horns on their heads. But one particular individual who was closest to me caught my attention. With horns that curved upwards and backwards shaped like that of an Elk's antlers and pale skin which could be confused for a corpse, his presence was heavily imposing.

I tried to move my body to find that I was a...baby? It's not that they were huge, I was small. But before I could process anything, the person spoke.

"Welcome to our world King Grey, we will meet again after a few years." I heard before my consciousness felt like it was being moulded and darkness overtook me.

"...ooks adorable doesn't he? More than the other one."

"Yeah, sometimes this kinda makes me want to have a baby"

"We're scythes Viessa, don't forget that."

"So what? We have our desires too. Don't tell me the thought hasn't crossed your mind. What if we are? We lost our family, is it wrong to want to build one?" she retorted.

"I-it's not that I don't want to, but because of our blood our children will have a high chance to be taken in by them and..." both the voices went silent as if reminiscing something sour.

'Huh? Baby? Scythes? Viessa? What are they talking about? Who am I? How can I understand what they're saying?' Questions flooded my mind as I tried to open my eyes.

When I did I saw two women, beautiful was an understatement. One was fair with dark gem like eyes with purple hair that flowed over her shoulders like a wave of ocean, the other with an appearance of a perfectly sculpted greek statue with silvery grey skin, pure white hair in a braid with the same eyes as the other one except for the gleaming onyx horns that erupted from her head and curled sharply back, one pair exactly beneath the other. 

What does greek mean? I just thought of it subconsciously? But I should talk first...

"Nuaa nya"

'What the..' Did I just coo? I felt my face heat up with embarrassment.

Both of the women turned towards the source of sound to find a red faced baby.

"Looks like the little prince is awake Melzri." the purple haired woman said, looking at me.

"Hello little one, I'm Melzri and this is Viessa. We will be taking care of you. You can call us big sis okay?"

"Uuuu" I replied, cursing my underdeveloped vocal cords.

Then another woman entered the room we were in. Her demeanour screamed royalty. With horns that curved upwards and slightly backwards with outward ripples, black gem-like eyes and pearl blonde hair,she was gorgeous.
