A minute of silence felt like an eternity had passed. I couldn't breathe or even think straight, despite knowing that some form of my power would be shown soon but not now. But more than that, the fact that the dreams of the past had been true memories shocked me.
Tears streamed down my eyes as some forbidden memories of people of the sea losing their lives during a battle passed through my mind. My hands formed fists fit enough to punch someone. I couldn't find the harmony I had wished for with the power I had wished. It had only made my life tougher and more challenging.
"Lady Thesia," a deep voice penetrated through my ears, "speak of the truth and nothing else."
"I cannot," was my inaudible response.
Right then, I held my head in my hands as I tried to figure out whose voice it was that was asking me to tell the truth about myself. Mentioning a word of this to anyone would make me their target for the entirety of my life.
