The Punishment:
3- The Window of Time

Otouto wakes up in a very different place. What once was a living nightmare, now
was a cold land where the snow was the queen. The creature was nowhere to be found;
the demons that were being doomed by their punishers were gone. All that he could
feel was the nothing surrounding him.
As Otouto looked around, he was getting a little annoyed by the fact that he appeared to
be completely alone. Just when he was getting used to the nauseating smell of putrid
demons' flesh, he founded himself in a very strange land. The skies were gray and cloudy;
the trees that used to be adorned with decaying demons' corpses, were now covered by a
lovely mantle of pure white snow.

Fortunately for Otouto, he always had the ability to adapt to new places rather quickly.
So after he shakes off the surprise, he began to search for any one, of thing for that matter,
when he realizes that the crystal box was no longer there. He remembered that he had
leaned against it to take a rest before founding himself into this new land.

As he continues to walk shouting to any one to appear, he suddenly hears what seems to
be a distant humming. He rushes to the source of it, slightly relieved that there was indeed
another soul around.
He runs through a narrow path of snowy bushes from where he hears the humming getting
stronger by every steps that he took.

At the end of the path Otouto reaches to a clearing. There he finds a young ten year old
sitting on a bench boy with a newborn baby in his arms. Otouto slowly approaches to the
child avoiding to scare him. While he does, he notice that the child was humming a tune
that the oddly recognizes. And which he hasn't heard it in a very long time.

Suddenly, the child stops his humming as he sees the giant form at his side.

"Oh, sorry. Was I humming too loud for you, sir?" the child asks while he gently rocks the
infant back and forth.

Otouto kneels down to see better the ten year old. His hair was ashy-blond and wavy with
his ears hidden under it. It was a little tangled, as if his mother never had bother to brush him.
His golden eyes seem to be a little too big for his small frame. His clothes were kind of raggy
and dirty, despise that his face and body appear to be perfectly clean. What intrigued him the
most was the bruise that he had in one of his arms.

"No. Why?" Otouto asks as he takes one of the child's locks between his fingers straitening it
only to curl back to it's place the second he let it go.

"'cause my momma says that that she doesn't like it when i make that infernal noise".

"What infernal noise?" Otouto winces.

" My song. She doesn't want to hear it so i hum it" the child answers lowering his head in
sadness.

Before Otouto could reply, the baby begins to cry. But not just any cry; it was a full lung
cry so powerful that even Otouto's ears began to hurt.

"What a mouth the little thing has", said the burly man standing up to get his ears away
from the blasting noise.

"He cries 'cause momma doesn't want to feed him", the child says.

"Can I see him?", Otouto asks a little puzzled about the baby in the blanket.

The ten year of begins to uncover the infant's face, when some one not very far behind
begins to yell.

"Gotta go, sir. Momma get very angry if i don't come up when she calls me".
The child again covers the baby up and takes off before Otouto could get a glimpse of
the infant. A sense of curiosity invades Otouto about this blond child. He began to walk
the same direction the child has taken.
Not very far from the clearing they were, he spots a cabin. The small foot prints in the
snow advises Otouto that the ten year old went inside it. Upon his arrival he knocks on
the door and a lovely maiden with the most unusual white skin opens the door to him.

"Oh, hello there stranger. Please come on in. You must be starved", the maiden said
passing her fingers through her long white hair viewing Otouto from head to toe as the
burly man bends to pass through her door frame, liking his physic.

"Sorry to bother you, miss, but i was talking to a child who..." Otouto began.

"My name is Luna. What's yours, honey?" the woman interrupted putting her hand on
top Otouto's.

"My name is Ot..."

"Would you like some tea? I made my kid to make it fresh".

"Your kid? Otouto asks as he feels something odd was going on in this house. "Why
would you put your kid to..."

"Are you married, love?"

"WHAT?!? Oh, hell no! Look lady, all i want to know is...." Otouto spat feeling his
temper rising like the foam.

"Do you like my home? I can share it with..." This time it was the woman who was
interrupted.

CRASH !!!!!!!!!! A loud noise is hear in her kitchen. Apparently the child had fallen and
along with him, some plates. The woman excuses herself to Otouto and runs to the
source of the rattle. As Otouto sits on his chair trying to calm down his anger, he hears
the annoying woman cursing and shouting to the child. This was enough for Otouto who
runs after the woman. He gets to see how the woman was beating senseless the small
ten year old with an iron shovel. Now visually in fury, Otouto stretches his arms to grab
the shovel from the woman's hands, when a bright white light blinds his eyes.

Once the recovered his sight back, the first thing he saw was the creature looking down
on him.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!!!???" Otouto asks in confusion.

"When you leaned against the box, you fell through a window in time. Now, move dog.
You haven't finished your task".
