"Why are you so quiet?" Mystic asked when she came back.

"Uh. Nothing," Yami said. "Uh. I think I'll go now. Right."

"Er. Well, see ya," Mystic said after escorting him to the door. /I think I'll go back to sleep now./

{"Mystic. Can you hear me?"

Mystic awoke in her dream. "Who? What? Where?"

"Hi dear."

"What?!" Mystic yelled.

"Don't you remember me?"

"No." Mystic said. "It'd help if you told me."

The voice laughed softly. "I'm your mother."

Mystic gasped. "You're what?!?!"

A woman in a flowing silk gown appeared. "We haven't seen each other in such a long time. It's time you discover your past."

"You really are my." Mystic whispered as she looked away. "Can you turn the light down a bit.?"

Her mother sighed. "I see you've inherited your father's discomfort around light. He should be here by now."

Just that moment, a figure appeared in the shadows. Mystic backed away as he walked closer.

"Hmm. So this is what's become of my daughter. You don't belong with Yami." the man hissed.

Mystic gasped. "Hey! He's my boyfriend!"

"I know, I know. Calm down now." he said.

"So you two are my real parents?" Mystic asked.

Mystic's father snickered. "Who were you expecting?"

"Where were you the last thirteen years?! Huh?! Why weren't you here for me?!" Mystic yelled.

"I think you mean the last 5000 years." Yami Mystic said.

Mystic gasped. "It's you."

"It's time you learned the truth. Have you told her?" Yami Mystic asked.

"Hello there, Yami Mystic. How's life being a goddess?" Mystic's father asked. "Mystic, come with us now."

"Hold on. She doesn't know yet." Yami Mystic said. "I think it's best if I tell her."

"Go ahead then," Mystic's mom said. "The faster she finds out, the faster she can come home, I suppose."

Yami Mystic looked more serious than she ever was. "Mystic are you ready?"

Mystic nodded. "Yes, I am."

Yami Mystic chanted a charm that took Mystic and her to the past.

Mystic's parents held each other's hands while the two girls floated toward a rift in the sky.

"Good luck." her parents whispered.}
