Ailema? Oh uh...hi father, Ailema I uh..need to tell you something. Yes? Your.....father died but...your mother...she...she's alive, my mom's alive! Where is she! Is she here? Did you see her? Do you know her? Does she remember me? Ailema! Calm down, oh uh..sorry..so uh where is she? She has come to town, can I see her? Of course! She's actually just outside, really! oh uh..what do I say! What if she doesn't like me! What if she blames me for dad's death! Ailema it's OK she will love you just the way you are, you think? I know it, ok then uh..here I go. Ailema opens the door and says uh...hello? Ailema's mom looks up at Ailema with tears In her eyes and says my baby! Oh my baby! She hugs Ailema, oh uh..ahem...sorry I just..it's been a long time since I've seen you, yea uh...ya it has, so uh....how's your dad? Ailema looks at her mom with tears, he..he's....he's dead. Oh I am sorry for you! You must have been without your dad for a long time, yea....I have, Ailema looks down at the ground for awhile and then suddenly Scruffy comes running out of the house, oh how cute! Oh uh mom this is Scruffy...my dog, she picks him up, hugs him and says' he is so cute! Ya he is but mom? Yes? Can we talk somewhere else? Of course let's go, Ailema puts Scruffy inside and leaves.So this is the Blacksmiths? Yea it is, oh and Kelly! Kelly comes downstairs and greets them, Kelly this is my mom, mom this is my friend Kelly. Nice to meet you Kelly, it's nice to meet and see that your alive, Ailema adds on, I thought I was an orphan! Wait mom! Yes? That means I don't have to be a....uh....daughter of that guy who adopted me, oh you mean the kin, yes! And that is good so let's just sit down right here and talk, you don't tell anyone you're a princess? No...I want to blend in, oh ok so uh...what are you doing here? I went to our old house and saw everything packed up. Oh I came here to stay the night and kind of forgot my reason for coming, and what was that? Uh...to go to...this one place...that's a secret, yes...a secret place. You were going to Wall mark weren't you? How..how'd you know? Because you are a Wall born, you knew! Yes I knew, but..but....how? your birthmark, oh and the book. Wait....did you know dad was a Wall born to? He was! Yea..he was..until he died, so Ailema? Yes? How did he die? Well a guy came and killed him when I was seven and hiding under the bed, you saw him get killed! Yes....and Sir Redmond De Hilden will die by his own sword! Your going to kill him? Yes! Even though I'm friends with his son, he's a guy? Yes, Ailema's mom looks at her and coos, mom! What? I don't like him! You do, I do not! Yes you do, how do you know? I know when someone's lying, ya I can too, so I am going to stay here and finally be your mom! That is great! We can cook together and have mother daughter times...and I can go to you and Williams wedding, mom! Ok sorry, so uh mom? Yes? Why did you leave? Well when I found out you were born I was- *boom* mom! *cough* where *cough* are you! Over here! *cough* Ailema! Remember *cough* I love *cough* you *groan* mom! Mom *cough* no! Ailema just sits there crying and coughing not caring if she dies, Ailema! Come on! We need to *cough* get you out of here! Ailema knows that voice...it was William, Will- *groan* Ailema passed out and William goes in and picks her up and carries her out.Ailema wakes up on a cot, mom! Where's *cough* my mom! What are you talking about Ailema? My mom was in there! Ailema starts crying again, mom....she...she can't be *sniff* now I really am parentless! I just found out she was alive, Ailema...I....I am so sorry for your loss. What happened? There was a accident and a explosion and only you, Kelly, the Blacksmith and a few other people survived, not including your mom. Why does everyone I love have to die! Not EVERYONE that you love has died, Ailema looks at William and says' not yet they haven't, Ailema don't talk like that. Ailema starts sobbing, William hugs Ailema and says' Ailema I am always here for you. Ailema looks up at William and see's his handsome green eyes and his nice brown fur and most of his body has smoke and ash on it, William...I need to tell you something I should have a long time ago, yes Ailema? Over these past months we have known each other...I....have gotten to REALLY like you and...I am hoping we can be more than friends? William looks at Ailema and says' I thought you would never say that...I would love that, then Ailema and William just sat and stood there smiling and blushing until Kelly showed up. Oh uh hi Kelly, hi Ailema...I heard what happened and I am so sorry for you. Kelly looks at Ailema and William and gets it, oh and I am also happy for you, you're happy my mom died! No! I am happy for you and William, oh phew. William, yes? Take me home please, ok Ailema come on. So William took Ailema home who only had a few mild injuries.
