Chapter 2 - A New World

It is the following day, and the scene opens as Aria wakes up and finds herself placed in a baby's crib. Alianna seems to be in the process of preparing herself. Her head maid appears to be assisting her lady by combing her hair. Aria continues to observe them, but soon hunger kicks in. "What the hell, mom, come and feed me, I haven't eaten anything since I got here," she says, mentally trying to say the words with her mouth only for cute gu, gu ga ga sounds to come out. Alianna suddenly notices the little noises Aria is making and comes to check on her. "Hello little one, how is my little tiefling?" says Alianna."Bitch I am hungry, I haven't eaten or drunk anything for an entire day."Aria says mentally. "I think the baby is hungry, my lady," The head maid says. "Oh! You think, amazing analysis, head maid."Aria says sarcastically in her head. Aliana suddenly starts chanting "Insatus poltra Imperium, Mage Hand." Suddenly, a magical circle appears on her hand, and a spectral, floating hand is conjured and starts to float toward Aria, gently picking her and taking her to a nearby sofa where Alianna sits, preparing to breastfeed Aria. Aria was completely shocked and amazed after seeing what her mother had done. Aria now fully accepted that she was in a different world. She started recalling how her father conjured a portal and simply vanished after entering it, and now her mother was conjuring a floating spectral hand with the ability to move objects at will.

When Alianna finished feeding her, she returned Aria to her crib and seemed to be preparing to leave. "Angela, go and assign, what's that maid's name again?" she asked her head maid, who we now come to know is named Angela. "You must be talking about Liza," Angela responds. "Yes, I want you to assign her to take care of the baby while I am away. Bhaal has ordered all the head priestesses to meet at the sanctuary. Cyrics followers are rumoured to be working with Harper's," says Alianna. "If this is true, my lady, Gorion might prove to be a challenge." Says Angela. "Enough! Of this, Angela, if Gorion proves to be a problem, I will deal with him. It was his fault if he didn't insist on fighting Fiakraag that day in order to obtain that damn scroll, Captain Dorian would still be alive." Angela shouts. "I am sorry, Angela, I will continue this conversation later. Angela starts to chant " Insatus poltra Imperium, Gate." Suddenly, a similar portal to that of Bhaal appears, and she disappears from the room.

After Alianna leaves, the head maid starts to go near Arias' crib. From Arias's perspective, she seems to be a dedicated yet graceful person in her steps. She has silver hair styled in an elegant updo, with delicate braids woven into the intricate coiffure, reflecting her refined taste and professionalism. Her attire consists of a traditional black and white maid's uniform, perfectly pressed and neatly arranged, with a crisp white apron tied at the waist. Angela's posture exudes quiet confidence and unwavering loyalty toward her lady, Alianna. "If only you had been born an elf of human, sadly, you just had to obtain your father's demonic traits," Angela says as she looks at Aria with complete disgust. "Ohh great, just great, I already have people who hate just for being born a tiefling, by the way, what the hell is a tiefling?" Aria says to herself. Angela decides to leave the room and goes to look for Liza in order to inform her of her new duties. Aria tries to stand, but it's still difficult. She is, however, able to turn around and start to crawl around her crib. She notices a nearby mirror located near her crib, and what she sees in the mirror's reflection leaves her shocked. For the first time since coming to this new world, Aria was now able to know what she looked like in the mirror's reflection. She observed her irresistibly adorable, radiating a gentle, enchanting charm. She observes her, rosy cheeks and sparkling, Amber eyes that shimmer with curiosity and wonder. She observes that her skin is a light brown and her tiny tail wags happily whenever she's excited or curious. "So this is my new body, aside from the tail, I look just like any other human," Aria says to herself as she continues to observe her new body, as Liza enters Alianna's room.

"If it was not for Bhaal's soul imprint, I would leave this hellhole," Liza says as she enters Alianna's room. "I can't believe out of all the bhaalspawns I was assigned to you," Liza says to Aria. She starts to clean the room, ensuring everything is in order. Afterwards, she picks up Aria and takes he to the bathhouse in order to clean her. Despite her cold attitude, she curries out her task with utmost precision as if her life depended on it, for most likely, it did. Afterward she retuns Aria back to Aliannas room and lays her on her crib to sleep, she seem to check if everything in the room is in order then prepares to leave as she leaves she looks at you saying " I can't believe my life depends on you, I just have to endure for six years and just maybe I can live this post and be assigned to the blood assassins elite core." After she leaves, Aria contemplates her new life. She knows that whatever this gauntlet thing is, it can't be good. "Six years, that's the time I have to be ready. I should first try to find any info on this new world and who the hell my parents are. She says as she looks toward a nearby bookshelf. Aria gets an idea that perhaps one of the books may contain information on this world. She notices a book whose cover has a drawing of this new world, and now she just has to reach it. She wonders if she has abilities similar to her parents. She started to try to imitate her mother's chanting in her mind while focusing on the book with the world drawing on its cover. At first, nothing happened, but remembering her mother's exact words "Insatus poltra Imperium, Mage Hand" while mimicking her mother's hand movement, she tried the spell, and finally she was able to create a spectral, floating hand which she could control with her mind. She controlled the hand and was able to get the book, although it hit her; it was heavier than expected.

After using her new spell ability, Mage Hand, her body felt exhausted; it felt as if some of her energy had simply disappeared, but nevertheless, Aria had achieved her goal of obtaining the book. At first she feared that she would not understand the texts of this world but that wasn't the case on opening the book and seeing the text she was able to fully understand it even though the writing were written in texts which were foreign to her she could understand each and ever word. From the book Aria learnt that the world she had reincaneted into was called Faerun, originally derived from "Faerie, "it is a vast and diverse continent featuring a wide range of terrains and regions, including the fertile inland, Sea of Fallen Stars, the grassy Shaar, and the icy stretches of Pelvuria and Reghed glaciers. Its geography encompasses the wild northwest with the High Forest and Icewind Dale, the contrasting northern lands like the Dalelands and Moonsea, the remote northeast with nations such as Damara and Rashemen, and the southern regions including the bustling Sword Coast, the island homeland Evermeet, and the jungles of Chult. Additional areas include the interior lands of Chondalwood and Cormyr, the island nations of Lantan and Nimbral, and the dangerous Underdark beneath the surface, home to cities like Menzoberranzan and Blingdenstone. The continent's varied geography supports a rich tapestry of cultures, races, and histories, making it a truly dynamic and complex world. As she continues reading through the chapters, she starts to gain a basic understanding of her new world. With time, she hope's to adventure and see these new lands; however, as she continues to read, her baby limitations kicks in, and she notices that the power she had used in order to retrieve the book has drained her of most of her energy. The scene ends as Aria soundly sleeps while drooling on the book she was reading in her crib.
