"Miru... Wicker?" Under the softly glowing sunset, the landscape of the field blended perfectly with the evening sky, creating a breathtaking view.
However, the atmosphere between the man and woman under this sky was heavy and serious. It was too unbelievable, too inconceivable. Miru Wicker? My daughter with Mir? How could this be possible?
My mind was in utter chaos, unable to understand this development. It felt like it was about to burst with the overload of information.
"Dad... I know it's hard to believe, but I am indeed your blood," Miru said. The truth was hard to accept and even harder to believe, yet her very appearance lent credence to her words.
I thought of the dragon Mir and how different this girl looked. Yet, her resemblance to Mir and even her name sparked doubts that hadn't existed before.
"Wait, wait, wait..." Too many thoughts were rushing through my mind at once, causing a mental overload. If Miru's words were false, how could this girl, who resembled Mir so closely, exist?
But if it was true... I hadn't even married yet. And to say that I have a daughter with Mir?
I had so much to say, so many questions, but I didn't even know where to start. I was at a loss for words.
Then Miru gently took my hand in hers, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions – there was touch, sadness, despair, but also a definite sense of hope.
What was she trying to tell me?
"I came from the future..." she finally said, a statement that seemed to unlock all my pent-up questions and speculations. A whirlwind of thoughts pounded in my head, stirring indescribable emotions.
Came from the future? Was she implying she had time-traveled here? Then, could it be... in the future, Mir and I...?
No, it couldn't be. Although nothing else made sense, I desperately wanted to deny this particular thought. Returning to the main point, Miru in front of me claimed to have traveled back in time from the future. Although it sounded far-fetched, in a world where magic is prevalent, it wasn't entirely impossible. This revelation, though not completely resolving my doubts, did provide a clue.
However, the more I thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.
"Is that really true...?" I asked, half-hoping it was a mistake. But Miru nodded, increasingly anxious, confirming her story.
"Yes... I came to change a desperate reality... to find you, Dad..."
I could hardly believe it, yet her words were spoken with such conviction.
Okay, let's assume all this is true. As much as I don't want to admit it... I have a daughter with Mir, and she traveled back in time to find me... But why? What reason could my future descendant have for wanting to see me now?
"Why did you come looking for me? What happened in the future?"
Miru's next words struck me hard. "In the future... you had left us..."
Her words were followed by a sudden embrace, full of longing and intensity, as if she was meeting someone she dearly missed.
"What are you talking about? Me, leaving? What happened in the future?"
There were still so many unanswered questions, but for now, Miru only continued to cry in my arms, seeking comfort.
I needed to understand the situation better. "Miru, can you explain to me exactly what's going on? Why you're here and how you got here?"
It seemed to pain her to recount these memories, but she slowly began to open up, sharing a story filled with hurt and longing. "Father, you saved the world..." Miru began, her face solemn yet resolute. "In a not-too-distant future, you thwarted the corrupt time deity, Tempus, and saved the world." Her eyes seemed to see something beyond my comprehension, lost in a narrative that hadn't yet unfolded in my present.
