"Oh my dear, good morrow" said Nigel as he smiled and he walked into his office as he saw Wura and Lown sitting down waiting for him as Mero was standing.
"Good Morrow Uncle Nigel" said Wura with a smile.
"Good Morrow Liam" said Nigel with a smile as he looked at Lown who looked guilty.
"Good morrow uncle" replied Lown as Mero looked at him and he shook his head slightly.
"Good Morrow Mero" said Nigel with a smile as he looked at Mero.
"Good Morrow Royal Duke" said Mero as he nodded his head.
"My dear, Zechariah told me that you wanted to speak to me, what is it?" asked Nigel as he smiled and he looked at Wura, he had expected her to be resting right now, since they had just returned from a very long journey.
"Well uncle there is something very important that we need to discuss" said Wura as she smiled.
"And what is it my dear? I hope that there is no problem at all" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Let us wait for everyone to arrive first Uncle and I will explain everything, I assure you" said Wura as she smiled and Nigel nodded, he wondered what was going on, and he had noticed that Liam had been behaving rather strangely this morning, and not as lively as he usually was.
There was a knock on the door as Nigel replied that whoever was outside enter as Elihu, Zuph, Zechariah, Luc and Nora walk into the room as they exchanged greetings as all eyes were on Wura.
"My dear everyone has arrived now, and I truly am curious as to why you called this meeting" said Nigel as he was confused, he did not know why Wura had called them all here, but he could sense that it would be something very important, for Wura to have called everyone here.
"Uncle, before I say anything, I would like you to promise that no matter the outcome of what will happen you will remain calm" said Wura.
"My dear, you are scaring me, what is it?" asked Nigel as he looked at Wura and everyone else as they said nothing.
"Uncle, I promise to tell you what it is, but you first have to assure me that you will remain calm with what is about to happen" said Wura.
"Please uncle, give me that assurance" said Wura as she did not want a scene happening here, she wanted Nigel to be angry or upset, she wanted him to stay calm.
"I give you my assurance my dear, tell me what is going on" said Nigel as Wura took a deep breath.
"Alright uncle, I will tell you and show you" said Wura as Nigel nodded, he was sitting down at his desk as he waited for Wura to tell him the truth.
"Lown, go on, tell the truth, show him" said Wura as Nigel was confused who this Lown that she was calling was.
"Yes my Queen" replied Lown as he stood up.
"My dear, what is going on here?" asked Nigel as he looked at Wura who just gestured that he be quiet and watch what was going to happen.
"I am sorry uncle" said Lown as he bowed his head.
"Sorry for wha…" said Nigel as the remainder of the word was stuck in his throat when in front of his eyes the person he thought was his beloved nephew Liam turned into some sort of small, purple creature.
"Good lord of the heavens" said Nigel to himself as he almost fainted from what he just saw.
"Uncle, are you alright?" asked Wura as she walked to Nigel who nodded and Nora quickly poured him a glass of water as she handed it to him and he nodded as he drank the water in one gulp and he fanned himself.
"I knew it" said Luc as Zechariah agreed and Elihu just shook his head.
"Are you sure that you are alright uncle?" asked Wura as she was worried, it was easy to see that Nigel was beyond shocked by what he saw.
"Yes my dear, I am fine, you told me to be calm, so I will be calm" said Nigel as Wura nodded and he turned to look at Lown who looked down in shame.
"What Is happening right now, and what is that? Liam?" asked Nigel as he looked at Lown who looked at him.
"Go on Lown, you have to be the one to explain, tell him what you told me" said Wura as Lown nodded.
"I am a sprite, my name is Lown" said Lown.
"Of course, that definitely makes sense, you cannot be Liam, no way you are him" said Nigel as he was sure his nephew was no strange purple creature, he would have known after all these years.
"Yes I am not your nephew Liam" said Lown as he nodded his head.
"Then what are you doing here, and how did you look so much like him?" asked Nigel.
"I… I am a shapeshifter uncle, and I happened to land in the human realm from the yonder realm during the barrier break" said Lown as he paused and he looked at Wura who nodded and urged for him to go on.
"I was scared, I did not know where I was, and I hid away from people, until one day I realized that I needed to hide and conceal my true form, and I happened to see a portrait in the street of Liam, I turned into him, not aware of the fact that he was King of Wyverdale" said Lown as he explained.
"And then one day I happened to be looking for food in the forest beside the Castle where the knights were training and they saw me and brought me to the Castle as they mistook me for him and they too me to you" said Lown.
"And then you took me in as your nephew, and I cannot lie that I enjoyed the good treatment that I was getting, I decided not to even attempt to tell the truth" said Lown.
"But I knew that I would be exposed soon, and the truth finally caught up to me yesterday when the Queen realized that I was not Liam" said Lown.
"I apologize for all the lies and pretending to be your nephew" said Lown as he bowed his head and Nigel sighed as he shook his head.
"What is his name again dear?" asked Nigel as he whispered to Wura.
"His name is Lown uncle" replied Wura as Nigel nodded and he looked at Lown.
"Lown it is alright, I accept your apology" said Nigel.
"You do? You are not angry with me?" asked Lown in surprise as he looked at Nigel.
"No I am not angry, you could not tell us at the time that you were not Liam, because you looked so much like him" said Nigel.
"And we also should have realized from your initially strange behaviour and inability to remember certain details about yourself and everyone else" said Nigel.
"I did tell you Royal Duke that he had been behaving rather strangely" said Luc as everyone looked at him.
"I know you did Luc, but at the time I just believe that something must have happened to him for him to lose his memory, since you know he had been gone for so long" said Nigel.
"But Lown, just know that I hold no grudges, we all should have known better" said Nigel as he smiled.
"Thank you Uncle, this means a lot to me" said Lown as he smiled and Nigel smiled at him.
"In fact, you can stay here if you wish right my dear?" asked Nigel as she looked at Wura.
"Of course Uncle Lown is welcome here, he has nowhere else to go" said Wura as she smiled.
"Thank you my Queen, thank you uncle, you both are so gracious, I apologize to you all for lying" said Lown as he bowed his head.
"My dear, I only wonder how you knew that Lown was not Liam because even I was fooled for a long while" said Nigel as he looked at Wura.
"Ahh Uncle well…" said Wura as she was cut off and Mero cleared his throat as everyone looked at him.
"I believe that we should leave now" said Mero.
"I agree" said Zuph as he nodded, and they all stood up and left the room, leaving Wura and Nigel alone.
"Uncle, I knew that Lown was not Liam because before we left the Yonder Realm, I was with Liam, I have been for a long while" said Wura as she sat down on the couch and Nigel walked to sit down beside her.
"You did?" asked Nigel as Wura nodded.
"Yes uncle" said Wura.
"Oh how is he my dear? And why is he not here with you?" asked Nigel as Wura sighed.
"He is well uncle, and as for that I…" said Wura as she sighed.
"Uncle, it is a long story" said Wura as she sighed.
"Tell me my dear, what Is it?" asked Nigel ass Wura sighed, she did not know if she was ready to tell Nigel everything, it was just too much for her honestly.
"Uncle, I really do not know honestly…" said Wura as she sighed and Nigel just smiled at her, waiting for her to be ready to speak, he could see that she had many things to say, and he did not want to rush her.
