Slymau, i missed you

Chapter 18

Dedicated to the people who havent giving up on this book. thank you, i love you.

"We need to talk to you, Jess."   

What? why? who even are these girls?

"Ah, i'm sorry, but no, i need to finish explaining, but maybe after." i was confused, and. A bit uncomfortable.

"If there are no more questions, i'll continue with the whole story now.

I continued on with the plan. The girl looked like she was about to complain but the the one with the spider earing stopped her and turned to me. My eyebrows furrowed but i looked at travis and signed for him to come up. He nodded and started walking to the stairs, the people in front giving him confused looks.

"I should start from the beginning, no more lies, hardly anymore secrets. Here to help me explain is Travis Valkrum, a friend of this village, and a character of my past." Confused faces started spreading through the crowd as well as three angry ones from villagers i didn't even recognize. "Please, let us tell the story, let me explain why i lied a-and if after, you still hate me, i-.. I'll give you a new, worthy, Lord; since Levin and Malachi left to help to help the other villages." nods sprinkled through the crowd (as well as apprehensive faces) and i took it as a sign to start my story.

(i am far too lazy to actually write out some ratchet backstory. I mean, if you want me to, i'll edit this and i will, but if not, get an imagination. so , time skip or whatever.)

I took a deep breath. That's it, I've told them my whole story, granted i kept secrets and details (for many peoples safety), the whole thing was kind of vague but it got the point/story across.

I looked into the crowd. Most faces were pointed down, trying to process the fact that I just told them I had been lying the entire time I've known them. I was shaking, afraid of what might happen,- what they might think of me, when I heard a clap. Then more.

They.. Were... Applauding? Wha- why?

I was shocked. I couldn't understand what was happening. I just told them I was lying, I told them they have no idea who their lord is, and they... Clap? This doesn't- I don't- I'm.. Crying. I start crying tears of shock and happiness. They- they don't hate me. Why, I don't-

I look to Sly, still confused. He just smiled.

"You created one hell of a village Jessica. You created something i don't think anyone else in the Few could have. You're a hero for a reason." He says, wrapping his arms around my waist and giving me a hug. I instantly respond, burying my head into his neck.

I stay like that for a few moment before pulling back and wiping away my tears. There is one thing i need to ask.

"I, uh, I know that was a lot to suddenly possess but, I still have a bit more to ask you. Something you need to decide on as a village. Do you want me to choose a new Lord?" A few gasps ran through the crowd, mainly from friends. "And whether that is a yes or no, i have one more query for you. Do you wish to stay here, in Ru'an, or come back with me and my friends, with guaranteed protection and other villages, including magic."

People seemed shocked to hear this. They were presented an option, left completely up to them: stay and choose a new lord, left with probably little connection to their old lord, or move, to a whole new part of their world they have never seen, with villages, cultures, and technology they have never seen, but they would be protected and have close contact to their lord, unless of course- they choose to take a new lord as well.

"This is an internal village matter, and all of your opinions count. The Few and those involved will leave, having own meeting and leaving you all to talk among yourselves. If you have something to say, say it. If you have concerns, voice them. When you have a decision, send someone to receive me. We will come down and hear what you have to say, answer questions and concerns. You fate is in your hands. You'll know what to do." I say. I Look to the Few and Travis, all having a silent conversation they nod and we begin to take our leave.

My fate is in your hands now too, Pheonix drop.
