Supernova

In a hospital, a woman with beads of sweat on her face wailing could be seen.

I can see the baby coming, you can do it, just a little push ma’am.” the doctor gave a her s little encouragement, urging her not to give up.

“I can do it, I can do it.” the woman wailed, screaming using all her strength to push.

The baby came out and the woman fainted due to stress.

“It is a girl, she is so pretty.” One of doctors there said feeling elated that the delivery was a success after how many hours.

* Somewhere in a cave*

A man could be seen bending his head chanting some words, suddenly, he felt strange vibrations all over his body as he rose his head up, he notice some words written on the wall that he could not comprehend.

After it was done, sparkles of light emitted from the wall and went out of the cave. He followed the light as it hits the moon with a mesmerizing appearance.

He saw the moon shining so bright surrounded by stars twinkling round it like they were dancing. The light continued it’s journey after hitting the moon.

The man continued to follow it, till he met himself in Corer hospital. The light stoped as it reached ward 119, then he heard a cry of a baby, some words appeared again on the door then he understood, the prophecy had been fulfilled.

He went inside and saw a man and a woman looking at the baby with love. They turned their heard towards the man and were wondering what a seer is doing here. The seer went towards the baby, chanted some words and kissed the child’s forehead, he sensed a great power from the child then it dawned upon him who the child was.

He took a bracelet and wore it on the child and dropped it in a cradle, while looking at the child with respect, he said the prophecy had come to pass, this shook the child’s parent. The seer looked at them and said “she is a supernova.”

“But the supernova died 1000 years ago, did he rebirth into our child ?” asked the father while shaking with fear.

“Yes, the supernova died but your baby is not the same as the other ones.” The seer said

“What other ones ?” The mother questioned him

“There were other supernovas but they are dead ,every hundred years the title of the supernova is always given to another supernatural but after the last supernova, it was not given until now. So your child is the next supernova but there is a prophecy attached to it only the gods can protect her. That is all I can tell you.” The seer told them and he left the ward.

“Hun, what will happen to our baby now ?” The mother carried her baby from the cradle, holding her tight to her, visibly shaking. She looked at her baby with love, wondering what the seer meant. He did not explained to them in details.

“Don’t worry dear as the seer said the gods will protect her.” The father assured his wife and kissed the baby’s forehead.

“I know the gods will protect her, let us leave the city for safety, she’s still a baby, she can’t handle these things.” The mother lamented bitterly.

“Okay, I will do anything to put your mind at rest.” He said.

“Thanks Hun , so what shall we name her ?”

“ What do you want to name her ?”

“Alyssa.”

“Alyssa, I like it.” The father looked at the child and said “Alyssa welcome to the world.”
