I'm so confused with what has happened. I stare at this man in front of me he seems oddly familiar.
"Let me introduce myself again I'm Tristan Vankerbon and I'm the gate keeper of Aetheria. And you young lady are not human."
"I don't believe you. I've never heard of this place nor do I have any abilities, I'm just an orphan no one wanted ."
"That's not exactly true. You may have been brought up human, but that doesn't mean you are an orphan."
"Do you have any idea how bad my life has been? How hard I've suffered and fought to stay alive?"
"Let me tell you a story and I think you will finally understand what I mean."
"You say I'm safe I feel inclined to believe you , but I need to call someone do you have a phone?"
"I'm sorry young one but there is no communication connection between the worlds. If you really want to speak to some human you will have to leave again."
What is fucking happening right now?! Do I trust this guy? He does seem familiar but how? Is what he is telling me actually true ?
"Let me begin 21 years ago a great darkness seeped into our world from another dimension that should of never been . Someone had tried to make a new portal in our world and it ended in disaster. They wanted access to the human world and what they got was a portal to a dimension that should of never been opened. Our once beautiful peaceful country was thrown into chaos. Monsters started to filter into the city eating many town folk. As much as this is a magical nation most magic didn't work on the beasts. The only ones able to do any type of damage were the dark elves who had blood magic. With that being a very rare magic ability The war raged for a very long time. It's said the King and Queen of this land once had an infant daughter that died during the that war. But I know better considering I let the Queen into the human world. The King and Queen since the war has ended quite some time ago now have 2 sons. This place has slowly been restored to its once glorious days. But you little one look just like your mother."
"My mother?...Wait you don't mean I'm the one the Queen left in the human world?" I ask him in complete shock.
"I knew you would get it," he smiles at me. "Welcome home Princess Auroralyn Thesiloni . I'm so glad you found your way back."
"Princess ? This can't be real. If I am who you say shouldn't I have powers?"
"I'll give you an option. Would you like to see your family or would you like to go back to where you came from ?"
Well that's a loaded question. I always wanted to have a family. But Addison's probably looking for me. Or even worse when Caleb finds out I've been kidnapped. This is my shot at having what I always wanted though . I could actually have a mom and a father. Hell apparently I even have brothers. I wonder what they are like. Will they even accept me? Mom did hide me to protect me, that I understand now. But she just dumped me in the human world. Did she even care where I was? Did she look for me ? I guess the only way I'll find out anything if by meeting them. I look down at myself and realize how messed up I really am. Was I running on adrenaline for this long ? I look up at Tristan and ask, "do you think I could be looked at by a doctor and bathe? I'm covered in blood and I'm not sure if something is broken." He looks at me and says, "already done dear. The moment I saw what shape you were in I called for a healer. Why don't we get you in the bath first and by the time your done she should be here."
He swoops me up in his arms , my eyes go wide, and he starts walking to the grand stair case. He stops in front of a huge door where a maid is waiting. She opens the door and he brings me into a massive bedroom but turns right to another door that's open that looks like a private bathroom. There's a hot bath with what smells of lavender ready for me already. He gently puts me down . This is Flora and she will be helping you . This bedroom is yours for your stay. He turns and leaves us in the bathroom and I hear the bedroom door click closed.
Flora turns to me and gently starts stripping me down. She flinches when she sees my legs covered in blood. Once fully unclothed she helps me into the bath and starts washing my hair with a flowery smelling soap. In fingers on my scalp have me relaxing against her touch. She gently washes the rest of me and helps me get out once finished . She wraps my hair in a towel and wraps a robe around me cinching the tie and leads me to my bed. The maid opens the door and a see a very pretty lady enter. She has the blondest hair I've ever seen it's almost white and bright gold eyes with pointed ears and a slim figure. She carries a case and I'm guessing she's the doctor.
"My name is Iris." She looks me over and applies a balm to the all the road rash areas. "Do you feel pain anywhere?", she asks.
"My arms and knees I landed on it when I jumped from a moving car." I tell her she looks at me in shock like I just told her the craziest story. Ok maybe it does sound rough. She examines my arms and legs . I start to feel a warm sensation coming from her hands and the pain starts to subside. "You fractured your right arm, but I've fixed it. I've also reduced the inflammation so your body shouldn't hurt as much. The scratches which I assume is road rash the balm should soothe and leave no marks after 3 days."
I look up and see Tristan at the door way. The healer leaves and Tristan speaks to her before entering. "I had one of the maids bring you sleep-ware and a dress. Your welcome to wear whichever you like . I will have food brought to your room, I want you to rest for the reminder of the day. I've sent word to your parents. They are sending tour eldest brother and guards to bring you home tomorrow morning."
"Thank you so much for everything Tristan. I appreciate everything you have done for me."
He smiles at me takes my hand and kisses it . "Tell the maids if you need anything and come find me if you want to talk more. Please try at relax while you are here. I'll see you again princess." He turns and leaves. My face is slightly flushed from being called princess but I guess I have to use to it.
