When redith entered the dining area a sweet aroma drifted through her stomach which caused her stomach to growl. She hadn't realized how hungry she was.
She widened her eyes in surprise as she stared at the huge feast on the table.
On the table sat an entire roasted chicken, a steaming bowl of smashed garlic potatoes, a pile of freshly baked bread, a bowl of soup, two giant sweet rolls with cinnamon,fruits, salads, an orange juice and a large jug of ale.
"You're here. Co and eat, you must be hungry."
Elvin said and stood up to pull a chair for her.
"Thank you." redith smiled softly at him as she sat down.
She wasted no ti. She grabbed a plate and piled it high with a generous helping of each and every
kind of delicious option they had been given
Taking a bite of the roasted chicken,redith nearly moaned at the taste. It was the most delicious food she has ever eaten in her life. The flavors were strange yet familiar.
By the ti she had devoured half of her plate,she
suddenly rembered that she was not alone.
With a fistful of chicken inches from her mouth, she flicked a glance across the table and found a cool pair of blue eyes assessing her with an amused look on his face.
Elvin brought his ale goblet to his mouth and glanced away.
redith cheeks flushed in embarrassnt.
"Ah-the food is just delicious." She said and let out an embarrassed laugh.
Elvin nodded, "Don't worry about it. You can eat as much as you want, I'm not judging about once we reach the palace you have to be careful of how you eat in public and in front of others." Elvin said warmly.
redith nodded and poured herself so of the orange juice.
"Alright."
Silence enveloped them as they ate in silence. After they were done, Elvin took her into the study room. He didn't want the others to hear their conversation.
redith sat on a chair facing Elvin as she waited for him to talk but he was not saying anything. He just seed to be in deep thought.
"Soyou think I'm the lost princess? Why?"
redith started. Even though she knew she was the person they were searching for she had to be sure.
"Wellthe witch in the council had a vision about your whereabouts a year ago and she drew a sketch for
to help find you."
redith nodded. "Hmmm..."
"Also your eyes. You have your father's eyes. As a hybrid your dad had two different eye colors.
Blue symbolizes his wolf and red symbolizes the vampire blood in him."
redith's lips parted in disbelief, "What are you talking about? I have hazel eyes."
Elvin chuckled and shook his head, "you don't think this is your real appearance right? You're the most beautiful person in all of the city of Arkaan. You're under a camouflage spell right now placed on you by your mom to protect you."
redith's heart skipped a beat. What the hell was he talking about?
"As the leader of the royal knight, I have the ability to see through camouflage spells. One of the gifts bestow upon
by your mother.
So I can see your real appearance. Your eyes are a mixture of three colours, red, green and blue each symbolizing what you are."
In Arkaan every supernatural being is identified by their eye color. Blue ans the person is a werewolf- the ones you saw. The brotherhood.
Red ans the person is a vampire and green ans the person is a witch.
So you being a tribrid ans you possess all the eye colors making you the most powerful person in all of Arkaans." Elvin spoke calmly as he was talking to a child.
"But I don't have any magic powers or turn into those beasts or desire blood so how could I be a tribrid?"
Elvin narrowed his eyes, "Since you have a camouflage spell on you I'm sure your mom had sealed all your powers. Do you have any mark on you?"
redith stiffened when she heard him. The mark at her back finally made sense.
"Yeah. I have a huge claw-like mark on my back."
Elvin's eyes lit up but he just nodded.
"Once we reach the palace they will take a look at it."
redith nodded.
"SoI had a dream about all of this a year ago after I got shot by a mysterious person and I knew my identity.."
redith began to explain what she saw in her dreams to him.
A fleeting emotion kept passing through Elvin's eyes.
"You an my sister sent you to earth?" Elvin asked the mont redith finished talking,shock was evident in his voice. It seems he didn't even know this information.
He opened the drawer and removed a picture. It was a woman and a man smiling at the cara.
redith glanced at the picture and nodded.
"Yes, she is the one."
Elvin nodded in understanding.
"Wellshe never told . Maybe to protect
and you. Certain powerful people have the ability to pry into your mories.
Since I'm a knight and was closer to the King I'm the first person they would look for to torture for information.
I'm glad she didn't tell
because I have suffer inhumane torture for so years now, from people who wanted your power for themselves. "
redith swallowed, "Who arethese people?"
"Since the city of Arkaan didn't have a King or Queen to manage the affairs of the country. Chaos broke into the country.
The vampires and werewolves never saw eye to eye and only united because of the marriage alliance between the King's parents and for the Great War against the dragons. Now that nothing is uniting them they split apart.
Cult and rcenaries were created. Fights among the people are now more than common. The strongest bully the weak. The witches were neutral and began to work for people who will pay them good price."
"What about the council? Why aren't they doing anything about this?" redith asked,worriedly.
"The war affected the council and they aren't strong like they used to be."
"So my parents, what happened to them after the war?"
He stared at her, his eyes piercing and intense. It
felt like an eternity passed before he spoke again.
"Your parentsthey."
