silver of my soul

Welcome to the oblivion.

We entered the door dad turned around towards the door from inside and called me to him i quickly obliged he asked me for my hand and I did as he said I gave him my hand he took a small pen looking thing out of his long coat and gave it to me it was heavy and when i touched it I can say its made of some old wood with certain carvings on it (pic of it is above for reference) its pointed on one side and blunt and circled on other its pretty though,I don't know what to do with it so i look at dad with a questioning look.

"Hold it for me okay?"
I answered
"Okay"
He then used some other wooden stick and was searching for something on the left side of the door .

He used his lamp to search something and stoped when he saw a carving on the upperleft side of the wall. It was a simple carving of half flower but beautiful dad went near it and i was watching him keenly he looked at me and inserted the small wooden stick in his hand into the small hole in the middle of the carving.

I didn't thought that it would fit in, cause the it looked very small compared to the thickness of  stick but suprisingly it went inside almost instantly only the thicker circle on the end of the stick was out now I was about to ask my dad what was he doing and what this  place is..but before i could

I heard the same sound I heard when we were on the other side of the door (outside) and i immediately knew what was happening I looked at my dad with complete bewilderment cause he is again so calm .

"Dad its closing we'll be trapped here "

He looked at me with a knowing look and I instantly understood that the thing I was calling stick is actually a key.
A key to open and close this door. Dad is definitely very familiar with all of this as if he does this everyday.

The cold wind from outside stopped as the door closed .

Suddenly the whole area was filled with light it wasn't a white light as we use at our house but a little yellow bringing a sense of warmth and richness .

I took a 360 degree look at the place and was suprised by its grandeur .This place is so beautiful like a museum not too old not too modern with balance of both.
I didn't expected it to be like this cause from the exterior part of this place I thought it would be some very old cave like structure but it isn't it looked magical...(refer to the following pic )

I was looking at each side of the place .I gasped when i tried to see where the light was coming from up, it was captivating  beauty .

I was quite for 10 minutes and was taking in the beauty and the longingness i felt for this place even though i cant remember if I ever came here but it somehow felt mine...... as if  this place is waiting for me or I am emotionally related to this place. A sudden feeling of nostalgia hit me..
Dad said nothing and was just intently looking at me giving me time to process everything .

I don't think this is going to be any normal day. I have a feeling that theres much more things for me to know and this is just a start....

I was just seeing everything keenly when something caught my eye and i stared at it tears almost filled my eyes .

It was mom

It was her picture hanging on the wall she is so beautiful like a bride. It's a huge painting of my mom, dad when they were young maybe little bigger than me , with some girl same as my mom's age and a man maybe in his 40's.

There were more pictures kept near the huge painting with many unfamiliar faces but I recognized one and immediately held it..

It is definitely mom when she was very young maybe 18 carrying the same key that dad gave me a while ago.. I never understand why I feel so close ,so connected to her even if i never met her ,never even talked. All i have of her is my dreams about her.

Before I knew a tear escaped my eye ..

"That's when your mom first got her stit
Which would be yours once you pass the saviour test"

Dad saw the confusion evident on my face

"Oh. Stit is the thing I gave you earlier ,the one your mom is holding in this pic'

I didn't wanted to know about what that wooden stick (stit)is called.
"I want to know about my mom and what kind of test are you talking about,dad"

He gave me an understanding look and sighed
"Okay , so it's really the time to tell you everything huh" let's us sit okay? It will take time "
After saying that he sat on the sofa near the wall not so far away at first i didn't noticed that it was there it just gets blended with other things here .
I sat beside dad there are two more comfy looking chairs to sit but I chose to sit near dad.

"So it's time for you to know the history and legends of chivare ,the royal family"

"What?" Royal family!"

"Yes bright chivare belongs to one of the oldest royal family , and you are their prince"The heir"

"Dad ,how is it possible . y-you nev-never told me " I was shuttering

"I had to protect you bright being the heir is not a safe thing, there are people out their waiting to harm you and believe me when I am saying they are not just normal humans , I had to keep it secret because I didn't wanted to give you more questions about your life without any accurate answers. I had to save you untill you are strong enough to save yourself son, I wanted you to have as normal life as you could have"

"Dad what are you saying why would anyone want to harm me ? What is it with me being strong enough you know that I am already way too strong than a human should be ,and what's with people not normal humans are they like me?,what is this place ?why you never brought me here ?what is the test you were talking about ? If we are royal than where is our family, do they live here? Wheres mom ? Is this the reason she never came to meet me ? Where is she? I wanna meet her ,you said that it's time for me to know everything then where is she ?

I couldn't control and be patient anymore its too much to process so I bombarded him with every questions that is in my mind and most importantly i wanna know about my mom!

"Tell me dad, where is she?"

Dad look at me with pitiful eyes ,he looks like he will cry if i say anything else

"Dad"
I said softly

"She is no more"
"Your mom"
"She -she died when you were "
"You were two years old"
