Ch. 88: Divison

(Eira's POV)
I never expected to be back here again...

Back in the lush spring of the gardens underneath that warm sun where I said goodbye to my father...

I remember closing my eyes as I entered into the waters with Silas.

All to help Taehyung.

"Snowflake? What are you doing here?" as I was greeted by the same gentle cerulean eyes of my father that I couldn't help but smile through the small set of tears coming down my face. Wrapping my arms around him as I held him tight and his arms enveloping me, his soft words of comfort as he stroke my back.

"It is too soon to see you here," as I heard my mother's voice, her presence known as she lifted my face away from my father's chest. Her ice blue eyes looking over me, concerned etched on her face.

"I....need help," as I mumbled, looking back towards my father as I watched his eyebrows raised in curiosity. "Advice, mostly."

"Then, come further in and we can talk," as my father lets me go, leading me further into the garden. I spoke to them about what had happened with Taehyung, the incident where he completely was controlled by his tainted side. The side I had briefly met within his subconscious. As I recounted the incident, my mother's face grew worried while my father stayed stoic, paying attention to every little detail. Once I was done, he immediately stood up and started to head towards the entrance of the gardens.

"Father, where are you going?" as I stood up confused by his actions. He was so quiet the entire time that his silence scared me.

Was this not supposed to happen?

"I will be back, Snowflake," as he turned around with a bright smile. "I believe I can help Taehyung with this the best."

Before I could say anything more, he disappeared. Soon, I felt my mother's hand on my shoulder, squeezing it for comfort.

"Trust your father on this. He would know what to say to Taehyung."

"I trust him," as I spoke quietly, looking down at the palm of my hands and closing my eyes as I remember Taehyung's face filled with guilt as he looked at me. My chest grew heavy thinking about it.

"I wished I was able to do something to erase that guilt. It wasn't his fault at all."

"I know," as my mother whispered, turning my face around to have me look into her warm icy blue eyes. "All you can do Eira is allow him to work through this. Be there for him. Men....tend to get very prideful when they are unable to protect what is most important to them. Let your father talk to him. From one man to another. Things will work out."

"I hope so," as I whispered.

I just want him to not worry...

We can get through this together....preventing that side of his from every taking over.

We just need to figure how to do that....

Besides taking care of each other's states...there has to be more we can do.

Not sure how long it had been as I waited in the garden with my mother, waiting for my father to return. Soon his figure appeared as he entered the garden and I couldn't help but go up to talk to him.

"Well?" as I asked him out of anticipation.

"I talked to him," as he gave me a wary smile. "But it's best for the two of you to talk. Figure this out but at least....he is not consumed by guilt."

"Thank you," as I smiled softly at him, leaning forward to give a peck on the cheek. "It's all I could ask for."

"You better go, Snowflake. He will be waiting for you," as he looked at me with a bright smile and soon everything was black again.
