Family history, The war, and the Sweet kidnapping
"What rebellion? Was I born in the realm?" I asked with supreme curiosity.
"The Selkies waged war on our realm. Due to the surprise of the attack, your father took your mother and you to his serving man and with him, the two of you escaped. Unfortunately, your father died by the hands of the Selkie king, Darcia Onoh. Now the Selkies are in power of our realm." she responded in anguish.
I tried to find something to say, but not knowing my father all my life left me subject to utter silence. My family was royalty? Even me? How could that even be possible? Who knows… Maybe I am dreaming. I always wake up at parts like these.
"The lunar flowers have been destroyed, thus, putting our faithful wolf guardians to sleep. Without the wolf guardians we have no hope of saving our realm, or even standing a chance against Darcia. Our wolf guardians were our loyal companions. They are our other halves in essence. My wolf guardian, Toboe, is now asleep inside of me with no hopes of coming out. Only a direct Royal can resurrect the Lunar flowers." she stuttered.
"Do I have a wolf guardian?" I asked.
"Yes. Direct royals also have them, and you will meet your wolf guardian only after the lunar flowers are resurrected not to mention after your powers awaken." she exclaimed.
"Before we go any further… Can you all introduce yourselves to me? My name is Cheza as you all know. I am still in shock as to all of this, so please be patient with me…" I sputtered nervously.
"My name is Finn; and I am the nurturer whose guardian is Toboe. My sisters are Alyssa; the storm caster whose guardian is Hige, Trillian; the enchanter whose guardian is Blue, Skaia; the time keeper whose guardian is Tsume, and Clasia; the mele carver whose guardian is Kiba. We are fairies who have discovered our true selves. You, being a Royal, have the power to develop Fei powers as well." Finn explained.
"Who are you? Were you confidants of my family?" I asked with increasing curiosity.
Yes. Here's proof. Finn hummed.
Finn chanted a phrase in that beautiful and foreign language again, but this time, there was a bright puff of sparks replaced with satchels that mimicked my own. Their names were embroidered on them beautifully, and made me pick up my own and hug it to my chest. Alyssa put her arms around me, beckoning a tear to roll down my cheek.
"Did mother make these?" I asked quietly.
"Yes Cheza." Alyssa coaxed.
"How will I defeat Darcia if I don't have my powers yet? I mean… I need to train to make them stronger, and make myself stronger for this to be a success right? Will the fairies fight alongside me and accept me?" I questioned.
Alyssa's grip around me tightened almost as if to reassure me.
"Your powers are awakening as we speak Cheza. Don't get yourself down. The fairies have been waiting for their rightful leader to awaken. They have been protecting you since the beginning. Your sheep are not ordinary sheep dearest. They are in fact the fairies of the realm who survived." Alyssa muttered.
"Cheza… You are the last remaining Royal due to the fact that Darcia assassinated your entire family in order to ascend the throne. Celeste, a prophetic fairy, said that the Royals will regain control only through hardships, meaning, you have a chance to turn the tables and reclaim our homeland." Skaia added.
"Furthermore, you have us to protect you." Trillian whispered into my ear.
"Cheza, you look pale, are you alright?" Clasia interrupted.
"I think I am perfectly fiughh!" I screamed in anguish.
"Finn! Heal her!" Alyssa hollered.
"It is no use Alyssa! Her powers are awakening, and because of that, my healing magic will have no effect on her. Finn muttered despondently.
There was a flash of black. It reminded me of that man's jet black hair. His name was…Ed…Edgar! Before I knew it, the pain was replaced with a pleasant wind feathering my face along with protective arms cradling me close. If I didn't know better I'd say I was in Edgar's arms flying through the skies…
Cheza… Wake up… Cheza!
Edgar? I asked sleepily.
My mind traveled back to the scene which lay outside Miki's tavern.
"Edgar…" I muttered softly.
"Cheza…" Edgar answered reassuringly…
And with just one word I was lulled to sleep. Immediately after falling asleep, this warmth flowed through me, and of course, I knew that it was not of this world.
