~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~
~~~(Location: The City of Rendorel, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~
~~~(Ti: 1:11 PM)~~~
My brain is a ss, and even with Cera here to help . I'm scared to the point that I'm having second thoughts about eting my Father. But Cera is walking behind as we're almost to the apartnt he's staying in, and backing out now would be the height of cowardice.
I'm betting Cera knows what's going on in my head. He can always tell what I'm thinking. And the closer we get to the apartnt, the shakier my body gets.
"If you want to stop and take a breath, just say so. It's normal to be scared of eting a parent you've never t before."
Cera places his hand on my shoulder and stops , walking over to a nearby bench where I sit down and take multiple deep breaths. My body shaking even more. Cera never fails to do what I need, and he wraps an arm around .
Hugging along with a kiss to the side of my head. There are plenty of things that I'm scared of, but only a few have ever made my body shake like this before.
"I'm sorry I'm acting this way... I thought everything would be fine, but now that the mont is almost here, I'm terrified he won't love ... I'm his Daughter, and he doesn't even know I exist... What if he hates ..."
The questions that have been on my mind since I started looking for Zarmade co roaring to the surface, and I feel Cera move closer and hug a little tighter. Having him here is helping more than I thought it would... If he weren't, I'd have already bolted...
Fear is such a powerful emotion... I've let it control my life for so long in the past... But I'm not that girl anymore. I'm not so scared elf that flinches whenever a person looks at . I've conquered my demons, and I'm a different person.
"Hey, there isn't anything to be sorry about. This is a situation that doesn't fit into anything I've ever experienced, and neither have you. It's okay to be scared that soone who is supposed to love you doesn't. It's a feeling no one wants to have."
He's right about that. It's not a feeling I'm ready to face. And I know there aren't enough good reasons for not to do this.
My head lifts from looking at the ground, and I look down the street to where Zarmade is supposed to be living. My Father is right down there... The man that my Mother loved before she was betrayed and sold into the Sex Slave Trade.
"I've got your back through all of this. On the off chance he does attack, I'll protect you. You know I won't let anything bad happen to you, Sally. Nothing will hurt you when I'm around."
My rock and my support system lie with one person; half the ti, I don't think I deserve him. He'd disagree, saying that he doesn't deserve . But that's just one of the reasons we work so well together. We're always making that extra effort, so we do deserve one another.
I wrap both my arms around him and bury my face into his neck. His scent fills , and I find myself becoming more at ease.
"Let's do this. If it does go bad, it won't be the end of the world."
I've steeled myself, and we both stand up and make our way to the apartnt. My hand is shaking as I reach up for the door and gently knock. No one cos at first, and I knock again. This ti, footsteps co to the door, and an elven man opens the door.
"If soone doesn't answer the door the first ti, it ans the-..."
Our eyes et, and his widen slightly. He blinks a couple of tis, and his eyes start to water up. This isn't what I was expecting. A pained expression cos on his face...
"Felrenda... Is that really you..."
That's my mom's real na... The one she was born with and given when she was in The Elven Kingdom... Before she was sold into Sex Slavery... He slowly reaches out and touches my face... I reach up and touch his hand... He recoils and dries his tears...
His expression turns to one of aggression, and Cera makes sure that he's right next to . But I hold my arm out to stop Cera from moving any further past ...
"Felrenda... That's my Mothers na..."
As the answer slowly cos out of my mouth, his expression changes from one of aggression to caution.
"You may not believe when I say this, but my na is Saliandra Orvello... And I'm your Daughter..."
He loses balance for a second, but his anger cos roaring forward, and he draws his weapon for a battle. Cera places his hand on The Witness's handle and nearly draws The Legendary Sword. But I stop him again, and he looks at , concerned.
"That's impossible!! Felrenda was killed!! Died as a Sex Slave!!"
It's an understandable reaction, and I don't really know what to do to convince him myself. But Cera steps forward and into the apartnt, but this ti he's got his hands up to show he's not wanting to fight.
"Queen Oryzox, your Mother, said this to us herself. Right before she died, she ordered the Orvello family to disinherit and sell Felrenda cause she was pregnant with your child, and that went against her plans. We're not lying to you."
Cera's calm explanation is as good as any, and it does have a slightly positive effect on him. The gears in his head start turning, and this is when I step into the apartnt and close the door behind . Leaving all of us in the house.
My Father puts his weapon down and collapses on the couch. Running his hands through his hair and taking a long breath.
His eyes lift from the ground, and he looks at .
"Umm... May we sit..."
My voice cos out a lot eker than I want it to. He nods his head, and we both take a seat. Cera makes sure that I'm close by in case he tries anything. He closes his eyes and looks to be in deep thought, and I'm betting he's thinking of how to prove this is a lie or the truth.
"Do you have any evidence to prove what you're saying... You look so much like Felrenda, but I don't see any resemblance to ... For all I know, you're just an offspring from one of the n that raped her..."
That hurts way more than I ever thought it would... Cera flinches in anger, and his hands ball into fists. I wouldn't take this from anyone, but this is my Father... I can't do anything about it... He thinks that's what I am...
Cera is showing a lot of restraint himself. If this were anyone else, he would've killed the person by now. And I can see in Cera's eyes that he wants to kill him.
"I don't have any proof with ... But we can do a magical blood test... If this is the way to convince you, then I will..."
I have no problems doing it this way, but I do worry that when I'm proven to be his Daughter. He'll still reject ...
He leans back on the couch he's sitting on and stares at . His eyes are shifting between Cera and , and I know he's holding a lot of anger in. I can see it on his face.
"Okay, I'll go grab a magical paternity test from the shop down the street. You two can wait here."
He stands up, but Cera is quick to stand up himself.
"No, Sally will go get the test. You and I are staying right here."
There is tense anger between the two, and Zarmade shakes his head and sits down. Looking at and then the door. I take the hint, and I stand up. Leaving for it. I'm nervous about the test, but I see no reason for Queen Oryzox to lie like that near death.
