The Ancients World

That was a lot of information that I wasn't expecting... I knew that Sally was a special girl, but I never thought she'd be a princess. She didn't even know. Her mother never said anything about this. "Is this good or bad, Sally?" I can't help thinking this is a bit better... Her real father isn't some random bandit. Her father is even still alive. At the location where we're going.

It's hard to believe that she's really an Oryzox. That's her real last name. She's supposed to take after her father. And her father is the son of Queen Oryzox. "I don't know how to feel... This isn't something I ever thought possible, and I never imagined there was a chance of this happening..." She's taking it better than I thought she would.

The confidence she's built is helping her, and it'll bring her through this revelation. "Does this change things between us... Should we tell what we learned to the others?" She brings up valid topics. I'll never change how I'll feel about her, but the others might be apprehensive about learning the truth about Sally. The truth we just learned.

We're slowly walking out of the estate and taking time to process the information. "Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you, Sally. But we shouldn't say anything to the others when we reach them. It'll be our secret." She doesn't immediately react, and that's good. She slows down and walks beside me as we walk out of the mansion on the estate.

We stop, and my wings spread out, and I grab Sally. "Next stop, the Palace. Hailey and the other should be facing off with Queen Oryzox. Hopefully, Helda was able to handle her without any problems." She hugs me tighter, and I flap my wings hard, and we soar into the sky. I level out and adjust to head towards the Palace.

Helda is probably strong enough to take on Queen Oryzox. Hailey being there assures a safe and deathless battle on our side of this conflict. "When we get there, should we just bust through the roof or come through the doors. Cause we're approaching fast." I want to hear Sally's idea. While it doesn't make that big a difference, it's still important to me.

She takes a few seconds to think about it, but I feel like I already know her answer. "Let's come through the roof. I don't want to waste any time. I want to ask the Queen something before she dies. I'll need your help to keep the other busy while I ask her." She's going to ask about her father. I don't blame her. She just learned about him.

The Palace is quickly coming into view, and I grip Sally a bit more to brace for the dive and through the roof. "Get ready. This is going to be a bit bumpy." Once over the roof, I dive down and wrap Sally into my wings right before breaking through the ceiling. Making sure to protect her. We break through, and I see everything in slow motion.<br/><script>ChapterMid();</script>

I see everyone turning to see us breaking through, and the fight between Helda and Queen Oryzox is halted to see us. Hailey and I lock eyes since we're the only ones that can move at this speed and perceive each other. She's still faster than me. I spin and spread my wings open and land on the ground hard with Sally safely in my arms.

My attention is taken from the battle, and I watch Cera land with Sally in her arms. Looks like they've handled what they needed. "Gods above... He's really here..." I look back towards Queen Oryzox and Helda, and I hear said Queen voicing her disbelief. "Why!? Why are you doing this, Slayer Zern!?" Helda tries to take advantage of the distraction and attacks.

It almost works, but Queen Oryzox is good enough to barely dodge and leap back. Taking deep breaths as she does. Cera folds his arms and makes his way over to us with Sally beside him. "Helda, don't kill her. Sally and I need to speak to her alone." We all give him confused looks, and I don't know what he's planning. They must want information Queen Oryzox has.

Why do they want to speak with her? Helda doesn't look happy about that, but Queen Oryzox will still die. Before anything else can be said, the doors to the throne room swing open, and there is a group of people. They look familiar, but I don't think I've met them. My eyes meet the mans, and I freeze. "Daddy?" That man looks so similar to my father, but he's an elf.

In the span of a second, their looks change to that of our family. My mom, my dad, and Marcus are here... "What the hell..." Cera takes the words right out of my mouth. Mom is staring right at Cera. She starts to run hard and move fast. Leaping at Cera, and he can do nothing but catch. Not because he misses her, but because it's what you should do.

She starts crying and choking on her voice. "My sweet baby boy... I've missed you so much..." Way to play the favorite subtle, mom... "I never thought I'd ever see you again... We've been trying to catch up to you for so long..." How in the hell did they even know where we were? She lets go of Cera and turns to me as dad and Marcus shows up.

Our eyes lock, and she starts to cry, and for some reason, it means a lot to me. "My little girl... Your hair has gotten so long..." I can't help laughing a little. My hair has gotten long, and Cera's has too. We're back in our human looks. She brings me into a hug and kisses the top and sides of my head. She lets go of me, and everyone is looking at us, confused.

I don't know how to react to what's happening now. Cera and Hailey are apparently meeting up with their parents. I keep looking at the mother. She's the one that will approve of Cera and me... Before anything else can happen, we all hear blade clash, and our attention is taken by the battle between Helda and Queen Oryzox continues.

They're both fighting hard, and they're sweating. I look at the Queen, and I don't know how to feel... She's my grandmother, but she's a horrible and tyrannical leader. But she knows where my father is, where I might be able to find him. "I'm getting sick of this, Peasant! I'm ending this!" She leaps back and starts to power up some attacks that I assume are powerful.

Helda prepares to tank the attack, but Cera clenches. "Dodge that! You don't want to take a hit from that!" Helda barely reacts to the blast of power, and she's caught in the explosion. As the smoke clears, Helda has taken damage. Her entire right side is bloody, and she's breathing hard. He right arm is limply hanging next to her.

This isn't good, and Hailey is about to step in. Before she can, Helda holds up her good hand. "Don't interfere! It'll mean nothing if an elf can't beat her!" She stops and lets out a sigh. Helda's pride and stubbornness is coming back to bite her. "If I'm to die in this battle, I'm taking her with me." It's hard to hear that... But a part of me wants to step in. I can fight and beat her. I'm an elf.
