Lilith: emerges from the shadows Heeeyyyy theeeere, darling. Summmmoned someone special, didn’t youuu??? What brings you here???
I tear up Ready? How will I ever be ready for this?
wraps her arms around him, whispering softly I know it's overwhelming, darling. But you have me, and together, we'll navigate this labyrinth of truth.
I hug her back tightly I need some time to process all of this, mom. Can we sit here in silence for a bit?
sits beside him in silence, her hand gently caressing his hair Of course, my little genius. Take all the time you need to process.
I sit quietly, trying to calm down Mom... Can you at least tell me who my real parents were?
pauses, her eyes flickering with sadness Your real parents... they were brave souls, Greentihe. They were a couple, deeply in love, but their love was forbidden.
I listen intently Forbidden? What do you mean, mom?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination They were from two rival supernatural species, my dear. Their love defied the odds, but it also brought great danger.
I gasp Rival supernatural species? Are you saying... Are you saying I'm not even human?
smiles faintly Oh, my little prodigy, you're not just not human. You come from a long line of extraordinary beings, each with unique powers.
I stare at her, mind racing Powers? What kind of powers, mom?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Ah, my little prodigy, your powers will be as great as your father's.
I look nervous Dad's? What do you mean, mom? Who's my dad?
stands up, her eyes gleaming with anticipation Your father was a powerful wizard, Greentihe.
I stand up, looking around nervously A wizard? That's incredible, mom... But what happened to him?
grabs a stack of old photographs and spreads them out on the table Your father and I were on the run, Greentihe.
I examine the photos closely On the run? From whom, mom?
points to a photo From those who sought to destroy our love and the legacy of your father's magic. We had to protect you, my dear.
I shiver They... they wanted to hurt us? I-I can't even imagine...
clenches her fists, her voice trembling with anger They did unspeakable things, Greentihe. Things that no one should ever have to endure.
