Other World Chimera
wake up

The days passed as the little Aurora continued to grow until finally after eight months her consciousness was reawakened. Of course as a scientist and a logical thinker he does not panic with his current situation. After all, as a famous scientist and a loyal user of the scientific method, how could he possibly allow himself to panic? Doesn't it? 

'Where am I? Why can't I see anything?' Dazed, Aurora tries to move.

'Wait 'wait? Why can't I move!? Calm Aurora, think. The last thing I remember was giving a good try and then a bright flash and a lot of pain? Of course not, how could I think that I was dead! Not to mention I still have my sense of touch. I can feel the warm liquid around me so…' 

As Aurora continued to ponder the situation, she began to hear voices from an unknown place. 

“hei... are you... about baby... name?”.

“ya.. if male... female...” 

Aurora's mind stopped. For starters, he recognized the spoken language as Japanese. He has never been more grateful for his addiction to Japanese culture because it is what made him learn the language. However, the more pressing thing was the topic of conversation.  

'Honey? What babies are they talking about? Is that me? No way, I'm an adult. I don't want the inside of their curly fetish, no. Wait, don't go there, judge people badly. Maybe I happened to be nearby and heard them. But it doesn't help with my situation. Could it be that I was undergoing some experimental medical procedures after the accident?' 

The frustrated Aurora tried to scratch her head furiously as she would have done in the past when the matter refused to be resolved. Once again the attempt to move met with failure as his body refused to move. He felt how his arms were swinging wildly before hitting something. It was warm and strange as meat. 

“Show... dear... wake up... active” 

“...means..healthy 

'No way! That doesn't make any sense! How can I be a baby? How can I be a baby? That doesn't make any sense! There must be an explanation! Adult women in their thirties do not suddenly become babies!' 

However, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Putting aside how, the current situation alluded to that conclusion. The proof is there. 

'Okay, let's just say I'm a baby. The question is how? As for that, the only thing I can guess is that I somehow went back in time before being born. However, the theory collapsed once I considered the language used. My parents never learned Japanese! Both were born in England and grew up there. There was no reason for them to speak Japanese!' 

That was when a new thought or rather a word appeared in his mind like an intruder who was eager to rob all of his attention. A simple word. A word in Japanese. A word that has gained traction in fantasy settings in recent years. That word is the feared isekai. 

'But I wasn't hit by a truck. Putting aside the joke and it sounded absurd, it was the best guess I got. The fact is: I'm still a baby, my new parents speak Japanese. Now I know it's not a lot of evidence but in my situation it's a bit difficult to get the data. With that done now what? Do I have to wait for my birth? How long will it take!? If I'm unfortunate enough it could be three months or so fucking!' 

Since there was nothing better to do, Aurora decided to meditate. She had never done it before, after all she was a very busy and energetic woman. What has changed is that until now there was nothing more to do especially if he was really a isekai he might have some power or something. It has always been a premise in the anime and manga she reads. 

It doesn't make sense to him. His logical thinking complained that what he was doing was unreasonable and a waste of time. However, his brain heart disagreed with him. He chose to believe until proven otherwise and he attempted to meditate. In anime, meditation is always about clearing the mind of all thoughts. He doubted he could do that so he chose to concentrate on himself. 

Aurora concentrated on her senses or at least a little she could feel. The first thing that caught his attention was the constant gentle beat, probably his mother's heart. The sound relaxes and helps calm the mind. Next he felt something he had never felt in his previous life. The closest description he could give was a tickling warm feeling flowing through his body and around him. 

Discovering an exciting new sensation, Aurora concentrates on him. He began to study his flow, his speed patterns, and anything else he could get his hands on. The feeling is complicated in many ways. What he could say was that the one coming from within him felt different from the one on the outside. Somehow, he knew that the one inside him would answer him while the other did not. Perhaps, the second one will answer his mother.  

As there was nothing better to do, Aurora continued to analyze those feelings with the precision that only a scientist could.
