Cerci Lucas, the first human recorded to achieve the rank of Great Sage having past the 9th circle. Pale skin and golden hair, she was feared by the demons and reverened by the humans as someone who had defeated the demon lord, giving him a fatal wound; achieved the rank of hero without being chosen.
Now she lives a secluded life at the bothers between demon realm and human realm guarding it against invaders from the demon realm.
One day when she was sitting on her porch, going about her everyday routine of meditating. absorbing ambient mana from the surroundings to sustain the barrier she had set up. When all of a sudden an object fell from the sky, illuminating the forest with it's purple rays. The barriers she had set up to protect the humans from the demons' attack gave little resistance to the object.
...
'What the hell was that' widening her eyes in shock. She stretched her mana circle to encompass the entire forest.
Filtering out the useless flux of information, she narrowed her search to detect the mana presence of what had easily broken through the barrier she had put
When she found it, she felt the amount of mana that whatever had broke through her barrier had, She widened her eyes in shock, left speechless
She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was not the absurd amount of mana that surprised her, instead it was that the source of it all was in fact alive.
The reason she had come to the conclusion that it was alive was the subtle movement it made, it felt like it was trying to free itself.
Now wary of what was that, Cerci decided that she couldn't let that thing escape into civilization. She cladded her body in mana and conjured a sword made of pure mana, white aura formed round it, making it more resilient, before she headed to where she had detected it.
Coming closer to where she had sensed it, she noticed how the mana reacted violently to what was there, creating a vortex that destroyed everything in it's steed, leaving a large crater on the ground and nothing else in sight
Strengthening the mana around her body, she bace herself for what she was likely to encounter down there. She dived into the mana vortex, landing graceful at the bottom of the crater.
The place was devoid of sunlight, the only source of light was the mana vortex.
The deeper into the vortex she went, the steeper the ground was and the harder it was to move.
The mana raged, preventing her from getting to the center, but it did little effort to hinder her.
Soon enough, she arrived at the edge where a shallow pit was. The mana around here was so dense that walking felt like swimming.
Deciding not to go further, she prepared a high grade spell, aiming to destroy the source before it could be aware of her presence, but she stopped when she heard baby cries coming from the center of the crater. Cerci was puzzled, of all places to be how did a baby manage to get here. That's when it clicked, It was this baby that had broken through the barriers and was the source of the mana storm
Dismissing her sword, she jumped in, floating down till she reached the heart of the raging storm, where a baby wrapped in a white cloth, with silver hair and golden eyes, with two bumps on his head that served as horns, his skin glowing softly while the wounds on his body began healing, vanishing from sight.
Opening it's golden eyes, the baby tilted his head towards where Cerci had landed and looked at her
"what this" stunned that all those mana was coming from this baby, she came to where the baby lay, raising it from his foot and letting it dangle. She picks up the cloth that had fallen, noticing that she couldn't recognize the crest embroided into it before putting it away.
Bringing her gaze back to the baby that had stopped crying and was now looking it her, "What's your name?" asking the baby who kept staring at her
"Mama" the baby blurted out while trying to get Cerci's attention who was lost in her thoughts
"Well, since you don't have a name yet, how about I call you Kyle instead" The baby smiled, "Mama, Mama"
"You like the name?" touching his horns while he grabs her hand with his.
