Kissing the Fae

Chapter 33 - Truth

Expectation sucks, really.

I actually expected them to be there with me until we finished this off. The challenge, to be there even at my lowest points or victories. Terran and Deniz, I thought they would believe in me until the end but I guess they were right.

When I started this journey, I had no idea of what’s ahead of me. My mind came up with a plan but honestly, it was vague. No clear plans, no one can even cipher what really is inside my mind even me.

It’s frustrating. I wanted to win but I don’t know how to. Clues are everywhere but it doesn’t guarantee my win. It doesn’t promise that my hunch is right.

The Jaybird. We have come this far and now, we’re going back. For the love of gods, what is with the power of Glamour that everyone seems so... obsessed with it. What does it have to do with me to be the basis of power when in fact, it was only supposed to be own by the Pixies. We were not supposed to have it before it doesn’t belong to us. What was on my father’s mind?

Was it really his ways to forcefully kick me out of my position? Does he even care if I’d be unhappy with the result? Didn’t he realize that all my tears and sacrifices before to get on my position, would be put to waste if I lose?

The power of illusion doesn’t have to do anything with us, right? My position shouldn’t be at stake for that. It shouldn’t be the basis whether I deserved my title or not. I have proved myself before I even got it, but why do we have to prove ourselves again?

This is f ucked up. I don’t like it. The only reason I thought of was maybe, because of my gender. Alistair had his challenge but it wasn’t like mine. He was never asked to show them powers they don’t possess for it is what it should. We acquired our abilities depending on which region we belong.

I just happened to have not acquired wings. Some don’t have but they can fly. Unlike me who can’t. But my powers, it’s only bound to be mine.

Until now, I still can’t believe it. To challenge me with things they knew that would be too hard for me to acquire.

I chuckled bitterly. It was my father who gave me the challenge. I know he shouldn’t be bias just because I’m his daughter but at some point, I can’t seem to grasp why.

We walked back again in silence. I wanted to talk but I held myself. For I knew they won’t change their minds. It would only if my hunch was true; that the Jaybird is what we’re looking for.

Is it really him who has the Power of Glamour? If not, does he know anything about it? I hope so. For I don’t want to waste our time and energy again. But then, who knows? If we don’t try, we won’t know.

“Ah, yes. Unfortunately, whoever enter the missing portal will die. I hope that curse pathway towards here will be found soon to stop it,” I heard Terran.

I know what they talked about. It was the missing portal. For a second, I forgot about it. I have a lot on my plates right now and the thought of it already by-past. But then, I got used to it. Some days, people get worried and somehow, I feel sorry for whoever cross it.

For that means s uicide. Humans are probably curious to know if there is another world and there is. The Godlic world, our own kingdom.

A world where magic exists.

“Sooner or later, there would a new human who would witness this world again but sadly, he or she won’t make it,” it was Deniz.

I just walked behind them, keeping my silence. Even the three little fairies does not have the urge to talk after earlier’s discussion. As it would be just me and them, if we fail to prove that the blue Jaybird has it.

Honestly, it would be too hard for us if they leave us here alone. But then, they also have their own priorities in the Acres Kingdom. They are needed and being here with me won’t help them solve whatever their region is currently facing.

Besides, knowing that Terran left the Sidhe while he was in the verge of misunderstanding, I can’t just let them be with me, right? Even if I wanted to. For I know that even the other leaders in our respected region can help solve it, still... he is needed. Like Deniz said, he is needed in the Sidhe.

I hate to admit it but yes, it would be a problem for us if they two won’t go. Yet I need to be strong.

“Well, what if the human this time will? You know, the idea that maybe, one of our people grew up in the outside world. Then sooner or later, he’d be back.”

“That wouldn’t be counted, I guess? Every ten years, at least one human will find the portal. A person who’s born naturally here in the Godlic won’t die for it’s destined to see the portal, so he could come back.”

“Well, a human can be turned like us. Especially if he or she grew up here since day one. That also applies to us if we were in the human world,” Terran’s voice was heard.

The human world, what is it like? I’m honestly dying to know about it yet I still have some important things to do right now rather than think of it.

Maybe, soon. After this, maybe I can save some time to at least, see what the other world has to offer.

Do I want to experience it? Yes, for a while. I wanted to escape.
