Once back on the throne, I did the same for my father as I did my mother. Thankfully, nothing went wrong and the gem performed as expected.
Just like my mother, my father looked around, confused as to why everyone else seemed frozen until his eyes landed on me.
I felt my breath hitch for a moment as I tried my best not to cry, but I didn't know if I could hold it in much longer. My heart beat rapidly as I awaited what my father would say. Deep inside, a part of me wondered if he would even recognise the new me.
"S-Shaman?" He reached out with his hand but was hesitant, as if unsure if I was even real.
"Yes, it's me Dad." I gestured towards my mother and Elysia who nodded in confirmation. It seemed he got somewhat of an understanding of the situation, but before I could get another word out he rushed towards me.
