Rise of the King: Diomedes

"Dio?...Is that....you?"

Her black hair framing her face, looking so shocked. The once vibrant blue eyes, dulled to a gray color. Voice still as soft yet, so powerful.

"Mother. I've finally find you..."

She is speechless. Kneeling down in front of her, bowing my head.

"Mother, I came to see you. I apologize for the sudden appearance. But, I had to find you. To learn more about the past and to understand who I am. Father never gave me an answer. I disobeyed his orders and searched for you for years, decades."

Silent. Looking up to her, I plead. She has tears in her eyes and a gentle smile.

"My son, how have you grown...."
