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

26: The Time Is Near

Blue was standing on the roof of the white palace, which was in the middle of the other seven palaces. There were pieces of clouds all over the sky, covering the sun and sometimes letting it give light. Cool breeze was blowing and making everything dance. Flowers were blooming all around the place. There were different coloured trees surrounding the area. And the mountains were protecting the country like guardians from every side.

She smiled as the clouds covered the sun. How much time have passed since Rose died? I don't know. Or maybe I don't want to. She was lost in her thoughts when she heard someone walking towards her. She looked behind and saw Ornendil walking towards her.

"Are you alright?" She asked when he came near. He was looking angry and sad at the same time.

"How can you smile after knowing about Orophin's death?" he asked hardly controlling his anger. Blue looked away towards the north.

"I have suffered much. If I get lost in his memories, I won't be able to fight along with others, who need my help. I do feel pain." She added when she felt his anger rising. "You must control your anger. Or it will sallow you and you will be lost in the darkness of this world. We need you, Ornendil." She smiled and took a deep breath.

"She is right." A voice echoed. Both of them looked around and saw a shadow appearing at their side. It was Lily.

"Who are you?" Ornendil asked, scared when she came to her true form.

"I am her sister." Lily pointed at Blue. "We are from House Shadow, the only immortal house of the wizards." She explained after looking at the strange look on his face.

"But why is Halmir immortal?" He asked confused.

"So, he hasn't told you about his past." It was a statement more than a question.

"I never asked him either." He said and looked behind her, Pelendur appeared behind her.

"You must have asked that question from him. He is my friend's beloved nephew, who died centuries ago." Pelendur said and moved forwards. "His father lost his elder sister before everything started. I and Lady White, who was Blue's mother were the ones to kill his sister. His younger sister, Thuna never believed that her sister was dead. But she asked White and she accepted that everything was true. Thuna killed her own friend and raised my daughters as her own.

But much happened and Blue and Lily were back with their true family. Lord Telchar is their only brother. And Thuna died and Halmir's father was left alone. Because of age he died and his mother left him and travelled back to her true home, Eressia. He went mad with grief and anger and ended up throwing his own children away." He ended and took a deep breath.

"But why isn't anything in the history." Ornendil asked confused.

"Because it was erased."

"Who erased it?"

"I did." Everyone stared at him with shock.

"Why did you do that, father?" Lily asked.

"It was because our era was full of pain and evil. And people would have come for you, if they had come to know about you. I was afraid. And everyone would have tried to travel beyond the River of Wonders." He said and turned around. Lalaith was standing behind him with Valandil Pallando and Eressia. Behind them were Erendis Pallando and her brother with his other sons and his daughters.

"Why did you erase the history of us, Pelendur?" Lalaith asked with gritted teeth.

"Only to let you all live a happy and peaceful life. But I didn't erased Curunir's or Rose's name. They are in the line of the royals who ruled the Red Forest."
