'Can I come in Lily?'(Lily's mom)
'Ye....es mom, come in.' (Lily)
Lily's mom came in; Lily was sweating like crazy, she was still nervous as the cabinet was slightly open,
'Why are you sweating?' (Lily's mom)
'Just a bit hot.' (Lily)
Lily's mom saw her suspiciously, their mansion was one of those extravagant mansions and getting hot there was a joke but, Lily's mom had many other things to decide so she overlooked it,
'What do you think about Rowan's relationship with your dad?' (Lily's mom)*serious*
'That is a tough question.' (Lily)*calm*
Though Rowan would hear everything it was not a secret and she didn't want to lie,
'Doesn't Rowan and your dad's relation remind you of your dad's and my dad's?' (Lily's mom)*concerned*
'Yes, it does.' (Lily)*troubled*
During the final war Lily's mom was a major part of the war along with the elders and the other extraordinaries though she was not an extraordinary but, as one of the rare case her powers were almost on par with those of the extraordinary, Lily's father and mother were both great extraordinary so they were the 3rd and 4th in command and well respected, Lily's mom could not only make clones but control them as well as make them mimic 50% of the powers of the person whose clone it was, she was an important person in the war she could make clones of the extraordinaries and others and in those times Lily's father didn't awake as an extraordinary, he didn't awake until the 'call' of Lily's grandparents, leading Lily's parents to lack trust in him, coming from such powerful family and being a force to reckoned with, Lily's mom was prestigious, whereas coming from not so known family and not being an outstanding knight Lily's father was not much welcomed, things got worse in the war, Lily's father was stationed as a group of soldiers guarding Lily's mom, though a great ability holder it was not possible for her to fight and she was required to stay near her clones to control them well so this group along with moving forward was also tasked to protect Lily's mom, during the fight one of the enemy soldiers caught onto Lily's mom and attacked her, the situation was fierce, Lily's father when trying to rescue Lily's mom but, both of them got hurt in the process and Lily's grandfather was the one to protect both of them, so the image of Lily's father went further down in the mind of Lily's grandfather, even though he was the husband of his daughter, he hid many family stuff from him and didn't even consider him a part of the family.
The history repeating is not a good thing and Lily knew something was needed to be done for her father to be able to trust Rowan,
'How about we make them spar?' (Lily)*serious*
'That could work.'
Chills ran down Rowan's spine, fight with an extraordinary was not a small task; he was the heir but, damn not a Leader, this spar against the person, who didn't like him was a risky thing to do, he prayed Lily would come up with something else but, the two women already decided the date, time, place, and every other required stuff. Rowan had no choice but to brace himself to accept some serious beating.
Spar ground*
'You didn't chicken out?' (Lily's father)*mocking*
'No dad.' (Rowan)*smirks*
Calling Lily's father 'Dad' was a confirming that he was lily's husband, which annoyed Lily's father to a very extreme, it was indeed not a wise choice, withing some 30 seconds in the spar Rowan was hurt in his right arm, left leg and maybe his waist too, he almost wanted to call a quit, it was a spar with the winner already decided, he didn't want to give up so soon, he thought his father would reject the spar but, his father was excited about this and his mother wanted to see how much he had improved and Lily, she was the one who brought him to where he currently was, a punching bag, Lily's father was only using 25% of his strength, standing against him for 2 min would be a great achievement and Rowan wanted to, the fight went on, Rowan was thrown here and there but, was not calling it a quit, Lily was quite proud of him, surprisingly Rowan was able to land a hit on him, a small scratch was left on Lily's father, and when Rowan was on his limit he called a quit, it had been 1 min and 56 seconds, Lily's father tapped his shoulder and left, he had gained his approval, Rowan didn't leave the bed for a whole day thanks to the healing ability of the young boy, otherwise, he would have been stuck in the bed for a whole damn month.
It was time for Lily to tell him about the Event,
'You sneaked in again?' (Lily)*tired*
'I did' (Rowan)*relaxed*
'I have something to tell you.' (Lily)*serious*
'What?' (Rowan)*curious*
'Listen carefully' (Lily)*serious*
Lily narrated the whole thing to rowan who was just stunned, he had no idea what to react to such a weird story, he was stunned to speak,
'..... That's it.' (Lily) *calm*
'What the hell!' (Rowan)*astonished*
'Yeah, that was, my exact reaction' (Lily)*Lying down*
'What next?' (Rowan)*troubled*
'We would be the first heirs to participate in an Event, we will go down in history.' (Lily)*relaxed*
'Is this why they wanted us here so bad?' (Rowan)*annoyed*
'Maybe that is the reason why.' (Lily)*calm*
The events would always end before the next heir would be allocated so this was a weird situation for the first in the history, Rowan was in a state where he wasn't able to think about what to do and what will happen Lily was already clear about it, there was no way for her to change the scene she had to just go with it, she had accepted the fate, they would be fighting two Events one as the heir and other as the Leaders.
