The Forgotten Isle: Chapter 11 (01-09-07)
Hafise25:
Glad y'all like it. I'm searching for my muse right now. She seems to have flown by moonlight.
Hafise25:
Many months have passed and in that time I still haven't found the answers to the questions the gleaming brought upon me. I want to believe that everything could be so simple, so easy. I know that it's not.
How could my life become this one? I'm married, I have a sister but still I'm alone.
"Sulwen, where have you been?"
"Out by the stream. I needed to think."
"That is all you do! She will return you know."
"I know, believe me I know. I killed her guardians."
"It had to be done."
"Do you think the Goddesses will hide her for long?"
"Only as long as it suits their purpose," Lark answered.
"I see. It won't be easy, nothing ever is. I just wish that I could save Aslemor and the Draconians from the fate that will surely be fall them."
"Don't worry, Sulwen. If there is another way I'm sure it will be found."
"Do you think of your father?"
"All the time. She put him through so much and yet he never failed me."
"Why did she have to kill him," Lark wailed.
The tears flowed from her eyes and all I could do was over a little comfort. My sister seemed to hold her own but I knew the emotions that plagued her soul for they were my own.
"She will get what she deserves," I promised.
"I know but it's not just my dad. It's everything."
"I know Lark," I said rubbing her shoulder.
"That's it Sulwen. I know you know. I can feel your emotions as if they were my own. I see things that shouldn't be."
"Lark, have you talked to Da'Kar's mother?"
"No, do you think I should?"
"Yes, she might be able to clear up some of your confusion."
"I'll talk to her tonight then," Lark said, "You are the best sister I could have asked for."
"Da'Kar, I've missed you," I said later that evening.
"I was only gone for a month," he laughed.
"It was too long. I think we should start working on that family," I teased.
"Now! Do you really think that's a good idea," he asked.
"I don't know but you never know what tomorrow might bring."
"Sulwen, is there something you want to tell me?"
"I'm pregnant," I blurted out before I could stop myself.
"When? How," he sputtered.
"How?! Do you really have to ask that and as to when it was the night you left. I wasn't sure but your mother clarified a few things for me."
"Sulwen," he shouted and grabbed me by the waist.
"I take that you like the news," I said laughing as he spun me around.
"Yes!"
"Da'kar! Sulwen," Traest called, "Father would like to see both of you in the main hall. Someone has come."
"Who," Da'Kar asked.
"Father would not say. He only said that it concerned Sulwen."
"We will be there shortly," Da'Kar said and started picking me up.
"What are you doing?"
"Carrying you," he replied smiling.
"No you are not," I squealed, "I can walk!"
Hafise25:
"Sulwen, I would like to introduce you to your father," Va'Zar announced.
"I thought. Ah, nothing has made sense since I got here," I screamed.
"He's hurt. A wound that will never heal thanks to your mother," Azale said.
"Oh, I didn't know," I cried falling to the floor. He did look somewhat like my "ghost" father.
"Daughter, she said you had died," he groaned.
"I..I don't," i searched for something to say. I didn't want to defend my mother but a part of me remembered how she had been before I was stolen by my aunt. I couldn't remember anything of him.
"I am Ca'Var," he said extending a hand.
"It is nice to meet you. I just don't know what to say."
"I understand."
"Sulwen, remember the fog," Azale said stepping forward.
"The fog," I questioned and then it hit me. The gleaming! He was lost in a fog.
"Go easy," she whispered, squeezing my hand.
"I will," I said and then turned toward my father, "Is there anything you would like?"
"I only want to get to know you," he answered.
"You are her husband?"
"Yes, I am."
"Tis good. She is pregnant. That will infuriate her mother."
"How so?"
"None of her children are suppossed to be able to bear seed until she is dead."
"Does Sulwen know this?"
"No, I haven't had a chance to tell her yet."
"Tell me what," I said coming around the corner, even though I knew. Castles are such great places for eavesdropping.
"About your mother," my father said and explained anything.
"I wonder how I could get pregnant then," I asked.
"I think you are more powerful than your mother realizes."
"I don't know," I said shrugging off the thought.
"You are the hope of this Isle, Sulwen," Da'Kar said.
"I know. At least I think I know."
"It will all be revealed soon enough," my father said.
"I think I should go," Ca'Var said to Da'Kar.
"You can't," I said, "You just got here."
"I know but she can track me," he said.
"I see."
"I have a place where I can hide out. It's on the other side of the great stones. I have friends there."
"Alright," I said but I didn't want him to go.
"I will miss you," he said giving me a brief hug.
"I will miss you also," I said. Even if I've only known you a few days, I thought.
I walked with him outside and gave him another hug at the gate. When he stiffened I knew something was wrong.
"She has found me," he shouted and ran for the gate.
"Don't go," I pleaded.
"I have to. If she finds out about your baby then all is lost," he said and fled into the night.
She will not find out until it is too late, I thought. I promised myself this. She would get everything she deserved. Everything!
