Lion and his mate

Patience is the key

Nemesis POV.
So soon after our conversation was over,Dorian and Rowan went to their rooms.
When I continued to walk,Rowan asked me " You won't go to sleep?"
"No",I said , "I felt something really strange during  our conversation with Gavriel and Fenrys. I don't what it is but I can't sleep now. I must think about it."
"I see. Tomorrow I will start to teach Dorian about controlling his magic. Will you be there as well?"
"Of course. I haven't used my powers in very long time but that doesn't mean I will not have maybe some advice for a king. I will as well tomorrow start to search about my power. As it seems,every drop of our powers will be in use soon. But.....I don't know if I can. I didn't use that much magic since Aurelia fell. ",I said but in that moment Gavriel and Fenrys came out of room where was our meeting.
Rowan looked at them for a moment and then he turned again to me with words "Don't worry, I am sure you will be able again to use that power again."
"I hope you are right. I will not let this world to fall in darkness,never again,not as mine.",and then I realised I said maybe to much for tonight's stories and I stormed out.
As I walked through the city,my eyes saw a beach and I went to one big rock to sit,smelling the sea and its wonder.
I closed my eyes and for few good minutes I've been chilling,thinking about my doom that is still upon me and my poor luck to finally find happiness.
And I heard,rather I smelled familiar scent and said "Sneaking maybe worked on  other continent with others,but here with me,lion of Dorranele it will not be so easy."
"So you heard me. And I wasn't sneaking."
"Whatever you say pal. So what is it? I am sure you have still much to process. Why coming here?"
"I don't know. Maybe sea sometimes does give me peace,as you as it seems. I do have much to process but I have question. Who are you exactly? ",Gavriel asked.
"Fishing information for your queen,aren't we,lion? "
Lion just held my stare for a moment and then I rolled my eyes with words "Don't worry you won't need to tell her about me. That bitch already knows about me. "
"Does she really?",he asked and I answered "Oh she does. I know her maybe longer than any of you together. "
"You say you know my queen,okay,but you still didn't answer on my question. "
"Why would you think that I would tell you so easily about me? But still I guess I will tell you one thing for you to figure out until time for my life story come. Listen well "Across the sea,across the land,where the world was still a beutiful dream,one land rised from ashes,again and again. To come in my land,pass through the gate,it's close but still it's so far. Finding her,it won't be so easy it isn't even for me",I finished with these words and went silent waiting for response.
Then Lion carefully said "So it's a riddle."
"Indeed. You are lucky I said to you even this."
"I see. Why did you stormed out after words "I will not let this world to fall in darkness,not again,not as mine."
"Let's just say. What I have been through there is the reason I can understand Aelin of Wildfire the best. Of course besides Rowan."
"What happend?"
"Something that isn't story for tonight.
So how do you feel?"
Gavriel met my eyes with question in his and I said "You know of what I am talking about."
"I do. I don't how I feel. I am in shock still. Do you think he would want to meet with me?"
"That fate is upon you two,but only he can decide what to do with the fact he have a father now."
"I hope you are right. Can I sit down here with you?"
"Well it doesn't have any sign that you can't does it? Feel free to join me in chilling and thinking."
"Thank you",Gavriel answered and then he sit down at the sand looking at the night sky. I closed my eyes,thinking about,well,everything."

Gavriel's POV.
I watched as Nemesis closed her eyes and then I started to think as well.
I was in shock from moment where Rowan said that I have a son.
I just couldn't believe my ears. But I knew it is true what he said to me.
Rowan would never lie for something like that,he never did for whatever it was.
I was thinking about old familiar pain with fact that I have son but then I remembered what Nemesis said to me.
There was strange about her,something familiar but still new,unknown.
That feeling I had from the moment I lay eyes on here.
I was thinking about her words about her land.
It's a riddle indeed but what kind? I have been on this world for so many centuries and never heard about land like that but when I'm thinking,she didn't tell me so much but I didn't want to push her to tell me know.
I knew it wouldn't end well.
And with that thoughts about Nemesis ,I instantly remembered also one woman,one beutiful woman I had lucky and honour to love and my curse to lose her. Old pain I felt again and I was thinking about that when I felt something.
Nemesis.
She opened her eyes quick ,standing up and I asked her "What is it?"
"Nothing for your concern. I just remembered something. I live so many years and I still don't have answers on secrets that have been hidding from me."
I pushed my pain back asking her "How old are you. I assume you are not fae,are you? "
"No I am not. I am immortal but you would actually wep for me when I would told you how many years I exist. "
" Everything will be alright.",I said and then she scared me with words "Oh trust me,everything will not be alright. The world has changed,I feel it in the water, I feel in the earth, I smell it in the air. For many things will be lost and found but still cloud is upon destiny of this world and I can't see any further from this."
I was standing suprised for a good moment and then I said "Sometimes I feel it to. I lost so much but I feel like I have still so much to find. But I just don't know if I have strenght to meet with some things that waiting me. I guess meeting my son is worth of trying."
"Do or do not,but don't trying. You will never know if you don't take a risk."
I went silent for few moments. She was right of course,still something like shackle bound my heart to that worry.
And I said then "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For wise words that you said. I hope you are right. "
"I hope for some things too.",she murmured and I asked her "Will you return or..?"
And she answered " No,I will stay here for a little longer. But you should go to sleep old bones."
I let low laugh and she laughed to and I started to return and then I remembered "Say Nemesis,what is power you've been talking about it with Rowan."
"Ask no more,lion of Dorannele,patience is the key,you will find out I guess."
"Okay. Good night.",and she also respond with "good night" and then I went to sleep.
