Whoa! It's been far too long since I updated this one. Sorry for the wait, everyone. I promise the next chapter won't be so long in coming out. :)
Chapter 3: Revelation
Sage saw that the tall Rickie was still on her tail and she was losing ground to him. "At least that hyena and monkey gave up," she said to herself.
She then fell down and felt the soul necklace fall off her neck. She quickly recovered and went to retrieve the necklace, but the Rickie that had been on her trail grabbed it and grabbed her too. "Let go!" She said, struggling hard to get free. "Give me back my necklace!"
Gor held Sage with little trouble as he then looked at the necklace and paused before his eyes widened in recognition. Sage saw him pause and then felt him set her down gently before he reached into a compartment in his armor and pulled out half of a soul necklace.
Sage gasped in astonishment when she saw the halves connected and the other half of the necklace her mother had given her connected with the half that was a crescent moon with the other half of the hourglass.
She remembered her mother saying soul necklaces could only connect to the two halves that made the whole necklace. The half that the Rickie had was a perfect fit to her half of the necklace.
Gor was astonished as the completed soul necklace rested in his hand. He had never thought the necklace would be brought together again after twelve years, although he had always thought about the woman who had helped him against some of the monkeys when the monkeys had tried to battle the Rickies over twelve years ago now.
"Hyacinth," he said softly to himself, her face coming to his memory. He now looked at the girl standing in front of him and he suddenly realized who she was.
He and Hyacinth had been married before the Rickie king had demanded all Rickies return the the castle. Gor had bought the soul necklace and given the sun half to Hyacinth while he kept the moon half.
Their last conversation had been about children and Gor hoping that he'd return someday and they'd have a daughter. Hyacinth had wanted a daughter too.
Sage was wondering why he was looking at her as if he knew her until the Rickie kneeled down to her height. "Sage," he said.
The young girl blinked at him and her jaw dropped in shock as her mind tried to catch up.
If this Rickie had the other half of the soul necklace and knew her name, then that meant…
She was looking at her father.
A bit short, I know, but the next chapter will be a bit longer.
So, Sage has found her father, but will she accept that she's half Rickie? Stay tuned to find out! :)
And please leave a review, but no flames!
