"Azuria. Come here and try on your new necklace."
"Oh, Fate! It's lovely!"
Azuria (Silver finally saw who she really was, and thinks how lovely his mother was) fingered a necklace Dark (Again, Silver saw his dad too. Rather mysterious-looking in his opinion) made for her with pleasure. It was made out of pure silver, with words inscribed on the back of the moon-shaped pendant twirling about on the silvery necklace. "Fortica Alleigh Azuria Caluria Dark," she murmured wonderingly and looked at her newlywed spouse in wonder.
Smiling indulgently, Dark wrapped his arms around her and translated it softly, "Together Forever Azuria And Dark." Eyes shining with unshed tears; Azuria hugged Dark tightly, but broke up their embrace as she heard their son crying.
Picking up their much-loved son, Silver, Azuria hugged him tightly as Dark wrapped another necklace; almost similar to the one he had given Azuria around his neck. "This is for you, my son. You may not know it yet, but this necklace will help you during troubled times," he said lovingly to the infant. "One day, when you grow up, you will be one of the most powerful wizard there ever was. And you will use those powers for good, and not for evil. Remember that well," he kissed Silver's forehead softly as the tiny infant went back to its slumber.
Poking Dark's ribs playfully, Azuria retorted, "Hey, how come our son's to be a wizard and not a rogue?" Chuckling, he swept Azuria off her feet, baby and all, and said in mock arrogance, "That's because he has to follow his father's footsteps. And besides, he already has your looks." He looked at her impishly. Laughing now, Azuria surrendered and demanded her husband to put her down. She walked to the cradle and placed Silver into the cradle gently, twirling the starry mobile above him. "Sleep well, Silver," she said softly...
"Silver? Silver!"
Silver started and looked around confusedly. "Where am I?" he asked groggily as he tried to sit up. He felt someone trying to shove something into his mouth. Startled, he looked up and realized that Tranquil was trying to get him eat something that looked like...meat. "Mglhmm?" he mumbled as she tried to stuff his face.
Laughing in relief, Tranquil teased, "Hey sleepyhead, you've been lying there for ages! I don't know if you know it, but I think your stomach is rather angry with you." Then, as if taking cue, his stomach growled and rumbled like crashing thunder. Everyone laughed. Sheepishly, Silver looked at Tranquil and nodded his thanks before wolfing down the remaining meat himself.
After filling his tummy, he now could concentrate on another matter: his not so satiated curiosity. Again, he looked around. He had just realized that they were now in their camp. Ah, who carried me back here? He thought amusedly.
There was utter silence for a while. Everyone looked at each other uneasily, wondering what to say. Finally, Jewel spoke up, "I think we all had enough excitement for one day. Let's take a break, shall we? And tomorrow, I need to go to Geffen for some matters. There's someone I need to meet."
Nodding their heads, they all went back to their camp beds and soon dozed off. Silver gazed at the stars above him. Who am I? Why does everyone freak out when they see me? When will I ever know the truth? With those muses, he soon fell into a deep slumber, his questions unanswered.
