Vitae Memorandum

46-Fated Providence

As Sxeiva finished her story, the other three's heads spun putting everything together. In providing so much insight, it only gave way to countless new concerns they hadn't even realized.

"So wait, if Lwyn is Yhse, and Jheiqs is Khaexyn, that would mean Khaexyn is her dad." "Lwyn, he is your father, join him on the dark side.." "Shut up Thanrie." The three of them started talking again in English, with Qheria putting matters together, Thanrie making pop culture quotes, and Mhyl having none of it. Qheria however turned to Sxeiva in Izhaethyx, putting something else together, something very similar. "You're her mother, aren't you?" "Yes, I am. It doesn't seem like Khaexyn had shared the same story with her yet, she still does not seem to know. I expect it's probably out of habit, considering everything else we've kept from her over her life." Qheria realized that the depth of Sxeiva's statement actually was similar to their own, having also been kept a distance from family secrets.

Thanrie was of a similar mindset. "It seems like family secrets are sorta a modern day thing. Everyone here has had their family secrets kept from them, it's not been a happy experience. However, like you, we've also been kept in overprotective families that shelter us away from the lives of everything around us. Good to know that some things haven't changed." Thanrie was piecing together that, according to the story, Sxeiva had actually been locked away from society over her life.. several times. Sxeiva was also a half elf too, then the same nature as Lwyn had been fearing her whole life. Although, maybe by now she was much less than half an elf, being mostly a.. cybernetic robot?

Qheria pondered just how much hasn't changed. "Actually, that answers something I never understood. Why have Qiciri and Wyxiri been all but at war my entire life? That part about Khaexyn's parents, I'm pretty sure you made it clear that people think mother killed his parents. Hmm, on that train of thought, doesn't that mean that Khaexyn's mother was a romantic crush of Thanrie's dad.. or was it her grandfather?" Qheria brought up an idea that Thanrie herself hadn't yet pondered. No wonder he seemed so withdrawn in family life. Thanrie wasn't exactly liking where that idea was taking her. Qheria was still lost trying to figure out the family tree in the whole matter, not realizing how much younger Thanrie was compared to her father.

Qheria instead pondered the information Rhyde had shared with them, about Khaexyn's history. It was fairly obvious how his reputation was building in some of his visits to this area, and how it all lined up. Rhyde had mentioned that Khaexyn had little support from the bandits here over his own beliefs and vision, but had made things happen regardless. It was some really impressive determination, a sense of stubbornness she herself was familiar with. However, it was also clear he was crazy, with a deep satiated seat in desperation.

"Sxeiva mother know my mother." Mhyl surprised both girls again, having forgotten they were still talking in Izhaethyx. Mhyl it seemed was still trying very hard to fit in with the routine, and was actually communicating. "Right! You said your mom was the best friend of the woman who became the High-Seer! The High-Seer is Mhyl's mother!" Thanrie was shocked just how much everyone was fitting into this scene together. They had thought they were all four random girls from four different lives that had came together, but things weren't feeling quite as.. random anymore. Their parents all formed a web of friends, mostly through Lwyn's parents.

Mhyl herself was pondering the chain of events. Knowing the way of elves, she had an idea why this parental situation panned out. Sxeiva's mother would have been a lot older than her own mother. By becoming friends, her mother had gained the knowledge for the responsibility, and thus she was a far better candidate for the position. This is why Mhyl herself had no chance in ever being High-Seer, because by the time her mother would give up the position, she herself wouldn't be the youngest possible candidate anymore.
