"Taty, I saw your mother."
"What do you mean you saw my mother? She's dead!" Booker shook his head and grabbed Tatyana's head and shook it.
"I wouldn't be saying I saw your mother if she's dead, would I now?" Tatyana nodded and got out of his grasp.
"You would if you saw a picture of her." Luke said from the side being completely ignored. Booker shot him a nasty look.
"Fine then. I'm going to shut up and let the big guys talk. Happy now?" He said with a frustrated look on his face.
"I saw her Tats! She came to me and told me to come and tell you that she's going to come back and get out of hiding." Booker seemed very enthusiastic about such good news. Tatyana started jumping for joy. She suddenly stopped as something dawned on her.
"Which mother are you talking about Booky? My Metuzan mom or my Aruzian mom?" She titled her head.
"Your real mom duh! I don't know the other one." He said while looking at her like she was a very dumb person.
"My mom? How, how does she look like?" She said with her joy really showing on her face. She had never seen her other mom. She wanted to know everything about her.
"Your mom? She hasn't aged a bit. Queen Elayna is as beautiful as she was before. With her long black hair and green eyes just like yours. If you two could stand together at the same place, people would think you're age mates or sisters." He said while holding his chin. Tatyana squealed and hugged him.
"Wait, wait, wait, hold up! What do you mean queen Elayna?"
"Queen Elayna of Aruza Kingdom. Thats what I mean." Lukas' jaw dropped. He looked over to Tatyana in utter disbelief.
"You, you mean that Tats is the Aruzian princess?!"
"Yes, that is exactly what I mean."Lukas couldn't believe it. All this time, I've been with a princess! Un. Be. Lievable!
"But, where is she? Can I meet her?" She asked while shaking Booker's shoulder.
"She said she'll show up when the time is right." Booker said while hugging Tatyana. Tatyana felt disappointed hearing that. But she quickly perked up again. As long as she's still alive.
"Sorry to ruin your mood, but, my stomach can't take it anymore. Can we go eat now?" Indeed, Lukas was hungry because just then, his stomach made a very loud grumbling noise.
"Mind if I join you guys?"
"No problem, Booky boy!" With that, they set off to fulfill their stomachs' needs.
The woman had a beautiful smile on her face. My Tatyana has grown so big and beautiful. If Eric could see this, tears would start falling already. He was always the emotional one. Eric.... She shook her head and closed the 'all seeing eye'. It functioned the same as a crystal ball but that was just opened with the wave of the power possessor's hand and the right words. She opened it again and saw the face of her husband's bright smile.
My darling, I'm sorry I didnt rescue you in time, but our daughter made it. For this I'm sure you would have been very proud. She closed it and started walking away. She went to a nearby hotel and bought some food. People looked at her a lot. If people would hear that she was thirty four years old, they wouldn't believe it. She looked like a teenager. How about if she told them that she had a seventeen year old daughter?
She knew at this time, her daughter was at work. So she headed over to where she lived.
She stood in front of the gate seeing that it was locked. She looked around the area and saw that there was no one. She opened her arms wide, and strong, beautiful, magnificent wings appeared on her back. With a flap, she was up in the sky. She slowly made her descent and landed perfectly on the ground. She opened the door and got in the cabin.
Her sense of style is still intact I see. She nodded her headed as she roamed around the house. She walked through a small corridor and saw pictures of her daughter when she was a kid. She saw the family that had raised her in those two years when the mother and brother were still alive. She touched the painting of the mother and closed her eyes. Thank you so much Mary, for raising my daughter while you were still alive. You gave her, her first memories and made them wonderful.
She walked back to the living room and glanced at the clock on the wall. Two o'clock already. I better get going to Griselda's house. She walked out of the house and shut the door behind her. She walked to the gate and released her wings once again. This time, she flied for a very long distance, toward Griselda's house. To make sure that no one saw her, she cast an invisibility spell on herself and flew freely in the sky, without a care in the world.
She saw the house below and flew downwards.
Griselda was at her garden watering her precious plants while the kids were inside playing hide and seek. When she was about to head back in, she saw the wind blow at a certain place and the leaves all around scattered from the spot. She walked closer to the spot. Suddenly, a person appeared. Griselda held her chest and rubbed her eyes for she didnt believe what her old eyes were seeing. In front of her, was queen Elayna, with her beautiful wings still flapping majestically. She was just inches above the ground. She then looked at her old friend who was still shocked. Tears welled up in her eyes. She opened her arms wide, and hugged Griselda. Griselda responded and hugged her back.
The two women were sat across each other. Each sipping their tea.
"How is it that you still look beautiful Layna?" Griselda asked as that was the first thing that came to mind.
"Really, Grizzy? That is the first question you ask when you see me?" She said while putting her cup down and rasing an eyebrow.
"Oh yes. The more important questions first. How is it that you're still alive? How is it that you can fly? How is it that you can turn invisible? How is it that you knew where I am?" She asked while leaning forward. Her curiosity was at its peak at the moment. Griselda had always behaved like a child with her best friend. She was a grandmother but she was still forty four years old. Very young if you'd ask her.
"Easy there with the questions Grizzy. Good thing there's only answer to all your questions. Its because,....."
