Chiyo woke up, again. Only to be meeted with a painted ceiling, it had a painting of the portal shrine, she looked at the landscape behind it, it was like the meadow she had landed a few days before. "Good, your awake, so i found out your glamor is to keep a curse away." Tallheart said, she got closer to Chiyo ''Do you know about the prophecy?" she asked, Chiyo's breath hitched then frantically shook her head.

"You're lying." she whispered. Chiyo shot up like an arrow, "How did you-" Chiyo was cut off "Your franticness makes me think that you're lying." Tallheart said. Chiyo sat back down on the bed. "I'm sure you've heard of the prophecy then." she asked, Chiyo simply nodded, "Then i sure you know that Ishton is your father?" she asked. That's why the name was so familiar to Chiyo.

Chiyo nodded, then tilted her head to one side, "Could you not see the white hair and how he looked at you when he first saw you, it was like a family being reunited after years of being apart." Tallheart said, but Tallheart was right, she had never seen her dad ever in her life, except in the visions she had.

. . .

Chiyo longingly looked at the sky outside, she was outside of a room in the council building. The door opened and out came Ishton, he looked at Chiyo, his face filled with grimace, "I'm guessing my mother talked to you about her views on the prophecy, i just want you to know that i did it to protect you." Ishton said. "But I had a vision." Chiyo replied, "It was a vision made by her, she wanted you to see what she wanted you to see." he said "why?" she asked.

"Because she wanted you to think I abandoned you." Ishton said looking at his daughter, "Where's your mother?" he asked. Chiyo gasped, turning away, "I may have left her, everything happened all at once." she said, holding her head in her hands. Ishton put a hand on her shoulder, as she looked up she saw the look in his eyes, he had a look that she saw any father have, but behind all of that was longing and fatherly love.

Chiyo looked at him, "we could go back and be a family." She said, Ishtons smile fell, "no i can't go there, she's probably forgotten about me." he said, his eyes turning glassy, "Sorry, i'll be a moment, can you leave for a second." he said, as he urged the girl to leave.

. . .

She looked at the closed door finally leaving after about 30 minutes. Anthony looked at her as she rushed away, "Chiyo, wait!" he yelled after her, she didn't answer and once she had gotten to her room, the door closed on Anthonys face. He set his jaw before grumbling and combing his fingers through his hair. Tallheart came from around the corner seeing the boy in distress, "Anthony, what happened?" she asked.

"Something happened between Chiyo and Ishton." he said quietly, "And you know this because...?" she asked, "I saw her coming from the direction of Ishtons room, she seemed really rushed, so i followed her to her room, but i don't know what happened with the both of them.

"It's best if we don't bother their business, for all we know Ishton could be having a vision about something that could be happening in the future." she said, Anthony sighed. "You know that something bad could be happening soon." she said.
