Never have I had such fun traveling before! Flying is the best!
"So you travel everywhere like this?"
Radueriel smiles as he flaps his wings again to maintain our high speed. Since he's half-angel, flying cos as a natural instinct. It probably didn't take him long to get the hang of it when he first got his wings.
"For the most part. Sotis, I travel by carriage or airship to keep a low profile. There are tis I don't want to reveal who I am. People can get in the way from ti to ti."
I'll tell you what... If I could fly like this, I'd be in the sky more than I'd be on the ground. Being unbound from the world is sothing many people don't know about. Airships are the only way a normal person can experience flying.
And an airship isn't comparable to this. Not even close. But it's nice to have my son in my arms for a change. Hugging him as he flies isn't a good excuse to hug my son, but this is making up for all the hugs I've missed out on.
"Since you know where we're going, you're the one that has to tell when to turn or stop. All I know is a general direction."
I almost forgot that we're heading to the territory I'm developing. It was one of the rare monts I was completely distracted from the stress in my life... Goes to show how free you feel when you're flying like this.
Unrestricted by any walls or windows. When you reach your hand out, the wind and clouds are at your fingertips. But Radueriel is waiting for to respond, so I shouldn't keep him waiting.
"I'll let you know based on my map. Right now, we're heading in the right direction, but in about 150 miles, I want you to make about a 14-degree turn to the West. Then everything should be good."
He could turn now if he wanted, but he decides to stay on the current course. On a less technical note, there are so things I'd like to ask Radueriel. Things that he wouldn't tell on his own.
They're going to be uncomfortable for him to hear and more to answer. But I want to hear about the years I've missed with my son. There are so many things he's been through... Events that have shaped the man I see now, and I can only hope he tells .
I don't know where to start with the questions I have... Starting out with an easy one should be good... Anything about Earth can't be broached yet. Besides, I can't reveal the truth.
"Can I ask you a question?"
He doesn't respond at first, but he takes a breath and nods his head. He must sense that I'm going to start digging into his personal life.
"Can you tell what your childhood was like... Just so of the more prominent mories..."
This isn't sothing that I expect an honest answer from. He's been keeping secrets from for a while now. And I don't bla him for that. He's a smart kid that knows when to lie and be honest. Well, he's not a kid anymore. But he'll always be my kid.
He's taking his ti coming up with an answer. Probably trying to think of a good lie. I can't help blaming myself for the way his life turned out. If I could've been stronger, maybe he could've stayed... But Michael said it was unavoidable... It's his destiny...
"My earliest mories are seeing my friends... Most of them are dead now..."
That's a half-lie. The part about his friends dying is likely true, but his earliest mories would've been with his parents on Earth. Even now, he's trying to protect from the truth.
"I know the truth, Cera."
There is a second where he loses altitude, and he has to regain control. He's probably thinking of a different truth, but I need to make sure he knows sothing.
"Before you say anything, just listen... There are things that you don't know about yourself... Things your family from Earth don't know... Rember that you'll always be my son..."
That's all I can say without giving up the secret that we've been hiding. He doesn't respond, but I can see a look of deep thought on his face as I lay my head on his shoulder.
Cera knows that I know now. And that shouldn't make things so hard for him to talk about.
"How did you know?"
I expected this. But I don't know how to answer it... I wish I knew how... But I'm going to do sothing I shouldn't. I'm going to talk about so of the things I know... Just the small things...
"A mother knows everything about her child... I know about Violet, Christian, Marcus, and Hailey... I've known about them for a lot longer than you could possibly know... I knew you'd tell when you were ready, but I don't know the next ti I'll get to see you after all this..."
The reason I'm doing this is cause this is the last full day I'll have with my son. I don't know the next ti I'm going to see him after this. And if I did, I wouldn't be talking about this now.
"I'm more confused now than I've been in a long ti... What aren't you telling ?"
It hurts more than I can describe being asked that... I wish so badly that I could tell my son everything. But all I can do now is keep the secrets and make sure nothing more cos out.
"Let's just enjoy the trip now, Cera... It's nice to call you that for a change... For you to know that I know... So, can you be honest about your childhood?"
This ti, I won't get any lies from him. And I'll know what his life was like.
"We were poor... But my Mom and Dad did everything they could to give us a good life... My earliest childhood mory was seeing Mom crying at the kitchen table... I later learned it was from bills they could never pay back..."
Wow... That hurts on way more levels than I expected... I was praying that he was given a good life, but Michael wasn't lying when he said he'd be prepared for a hard life. Hearing him call another woman Mom... Stung... But I can't stop it.
"There were tis that I'd try to help in any way I could... Give money and make things easier... I couldn't make a difference until this all ca along... After that, our lives changed for the better..."
There is a lot of ti in between now and back then. I'd love to hear more about what his life was like growing up, but I can tell that he's not really in the mood to talk about these things. They bring him a lot of pain too.
"Mom... Why has everything turned out the way it has... I've been searching for the answer for a long ti... But I've gotten nowhere... Maybe you know..."
My spirit cracks as I hear him say that... The worst feeling is having the answers but not being allowed to tell them... I feel like I'm going to puke from having to do this... It hurts fucking bad...
I have to physically cover my mouth to stop myself from talking... My Motherly instincts are trying to take over, but I can't let them. Radueriel can't know the truth yet. I don't know the grand plan The Almighty Father has, but I know it's going to be terrible for Radueriel.
