Kristin Percxio/Kristin Parker

How could I not remember? Did the memories come back only after moments of me entering the shadow plane? How did Ava forget?

"—after they knew what I did. I can't believe I made myself forget it. I don't..." Is that Ava mumbling? What else is she saying?

She made herself forget it??! But that act is treason in Faltor and the punishment is the death penalty! Did she feel that guilty? Making herself forget that girl and risking her sanity?

"KRISTIN!! ARE YOU- Oh, you're here!" Isalieus said, walking out of the hallway.

"Were you looking for me?" I said as I hastily wipe my cheeks of my tears.

"I wanted to make sure you were okay, since whatever you and Ava talked about must have taken a toll on both of you." He said with a sad smile.

"Thanks, but it's fine." I said with the best smile I could muster up.

"You know I won't believe that." How could he tell?

"It doesn't matter—" He cut in.

"Yes, it does. If it disturbs you that much, you can't bottle it up inside you." He said with a determined expression. I chuckled, which led to giggling, but I didn't care, I haven't laughed like this in a long time and Isalieus had an eyebrow raised.

"Are- are you alright?" Isalieus asked with a concerned gaze.

"I'm just wondering, what I had done for my life to turn into this. My family dead, the only one I trusted lied to me without batting an eye and now there is someone out to kill and take my throne. Was there anything I did that made my fate turn out like this?" I rambled as Isalieus wiped the tears rolling down my cheek, and I saw a sympathetic expression instead of his normal monotonous expression.

"You can trust me." He said, and his eyes became lighter after I smiled.

"Do you promise?"

"Yes. And I will never betray you." He said with such determination that it made me believe him. And for the first time after a while, I was able to lean on someone's shoulder and cry out all my sorrows. Well, until someone barged in.
