Tale Of The White Wolf [River Of Wonders - 2]

11: The Prediction

Lily started shaking Shisen. "Shisen, wake up. Shisen please." She cried. Shisen opened his eyes with difficulty. He raised his pale hand and touched her face.

"Thank you." He whispered and his hand fell. Lily screamed and shook him again. Lalaith lifted her head and dragged herself towards her son. Uinen stopped dead, when she saw her mother in a critical condition. Blue ran towards Rose and lifted her head in her hands.

"Rose. What happened to her?" She asked Lily. But Lily wasn't listening to anyone. She was becoming numb. Telchar was continuously staring at her, with confusion.

I tried to save you, everyone. I can't fail. Where is father? She thought and stared at Shisen. Halias and Narui took him away. She wanted to stop them but she was numb. She felt herself falling backwards. Telchar moved forwards and grabbed her from her arms and laid her down gently. Lily looked up at him and she smiled wanly. "Brother." She whispered and she lost her consciousness. Telchar called the healers and others who were able to heal and save them. Lily, Lalaith and Rose were taken away. Uinen remained in her place.

What the hell happened? Why was mother and brother badly wounded? And where is father? She thought, fearing to hear something bad, after everyone was healed. Telchar walked towards her and put his hands on her shoulders. Slowly, he pulled her towards herself and hugged her.

"We are all scared. Our father haven't come with them. We can only hope that something bad haven't happened." He whispered in her ears and looked at the ceiling.

"Telchar, something is wrong with that person. His blood is really black and he have marks all over his body." Halias said, coming from behind.

"Are you talking about Shisen?" Telchar politely asked and turned around. Halias only nodded. Uinen looked at him with horror.

***

"Okay. You are not going to speak." Finduilas said, anger pumping through her.

"Nienna." Shadow called. Nienna looked at him and bowed.

"My Lord?"

"Have you shown her what happened when Irime vanished?"

"Yes, My Lord." Finduilas looked at Nienna shocked and then looked at Shadow.

"Sorry for being frank but Finduilas, your daughter is still alive." He said, nicely. Finduilas looked at him thunderstruck.

"Where is she? Tell me now." She ordered and moved towards him.

"Do you really care for her?"

"I care for her more than anyone." Finduilas answered getting mad. Shadow looked at her with sadness.

"I don't think so, for you have already ruined her life worse than anyone's." Nienna looked at him with shock and shook his head.

"What are you talking about?" Finduilas shouted and raised her sword to kill him.

"Stop!!" Nienna shouted and raised her hand towards Finduilas's sword. Magic moved towards her in form of water and knocked the sword out of her hand. Furious, Finduilas faced her. "My Lord, was she Lady Lalaith of the riders?" Ignoring everyone around Nienna turned to face Shadow. He nodded and she fell on her knees. Her pointed elven ears turning to normal human ears. Vana raised her sword to kill Nienna but Finduilas stopped her.

"I don't understand." She whispered.

"Lady Lalaith, queen of the Riders was your daughter Lady Irime. You cursed her son, Aka Shisen and killed her husband Lord Curunir. Do you still think you cared for her all along? What are you? I brought her here because once she requested me to take her away from her home. I did when I get time, but she was still haunted by your memories. She requested me to save her only loyal, Nienna. And I did. I did everything for her, with my wife White, till she was alive. I never left her side. She sealed her appearance and become human, for on one to recognize her and forget her completely. But I was always there to help her. When she lost her daughter, I walked through lands and searched for her. After I found her I left her with my son, Telchar Shadow. He accepted her and married her, only to save her and protect her from danger. What have you done for your daughter? Nothing, but ruined her life." Shadow ended. Finduilas fell on her knees with grief and looked her hands. She screamed twice and looked up at Shadow.
