Jewel touched his shoulder gently. "So you do remember now, don't you? Your mother had begged the Prophetess to save you, against all odds. It's ironic, really. Your grandmother had refused to acknowledge Azuria when she had discovered about your parents, but saved you all the same."
Silver sat down on the ground with a bump, unable to believe it. "Jewel, could you please tell me about my past? There's too many things I don't know and knowing them bit by bit all of a sudden is well, overwhelming," Silver said. She was quiet for a while. Finally, she nodded her head and motioned all of them to sit.
"Hey, wait! Let's all go back to the camp first, shall we? It's kind of scary out here, considering there had been so many going-on around here," exclaimed Sakura, looking furtively around. The rest nodded and set back to camp.
"It all started, as I suspect Silver already know, when Dark met Azuria. They had met and fallen in love, unfortunately, during the dark times. Lord Thantos, who was also Dark's father, was the cruelest Lord if there ever was any throughout the kingdom. And Azuria was the daughter of the head rebel, PurpleRain. Both were taught and trained intensely to fight against each other, in which they did, and you might not be surprised to hear that both your parents are the strongest and smartest among their people," began Jewel smiling. She looked at Silver and then to the rest. They looked amazed.
She continued, "Well, the fights went on for ages, until one day Lord Thantos made a grave mistake in his life. He ordered his son to annihilate the rebels as a test of loyalty. Dark did as he was told, and it was then when he met Azuria. Oh, how they had fought, from sunset to sunrise, until at last, they could not fight any longer. Both were strong and cunning in their ways, and there was no way they could outwit each other. It was then when they became grudging friends, which ended up as lovers."
"When Lord Thantos had discovered about their affair, he was furious. He sent his son straight to the deepest and darkest dungeon, which proved to everyone how unmerciful he could be, even to his own son. But I have a feeling that deep down inside, he was afraid that if his son and Azuria were to combine their attack, they might just bring him down. Well, Lord Thantos did not waste much time and issued an order to assassinate Azuria. Luckily though, no one could even harm a hair from her head. Unbeknown to everyone, Azuria and Dark had secretly trained their skills together, and Azuria had already known Lord Thantos' army's skills and weaknesses. It didn't take Lord Thantos long to discover so, and he nearly went mad with rage. He went to the dungeon, delirious with anger at his traitorous son, only to discover that Dark had escaped."
"You see, in the midst of confusion when Dark was thrown into dungeon, his servant, Lackey, loyal as ever, had switched places with his master. Therefore it wasn't Dark at all in the dungeon, nor was he the one dying due to torture. Lackey had cleverly made sure that no one was to see his face properly, and because the dungeon was dark, no one noticed. Well, Dark immediately slipped out from the castle and went back to the spot where he had first met Azuria. They eloped, and soon had a child, namely you, Silver."
