(fun fact I chose the name Arianwyn because it meant white/sliver and pure in Welsh but I think the day before yesterday I discovered it also meant woman of silver on the nameberry website and google translate says Arianwyn is silver from Welsh to English, how freaking fitting is that?)

I just sat on the steps that lead down in the first room after I had snuck in the garden to grab my staff I had previously thrown into it and was now sitting on the last step with the top half of my face in my hands and staff across my lap, silent and I guess the others got that I didn't want company or being spoken too even if now I heard their words from the other side of the room.

I just sat there, what wouldn't I give to know what became of the guard that came with us to the woodlands and lived through that, to know if Betelwan is still fighting or has been struck down, to know where Nix has gone, to know what Arial is doing, to know anything about anyone up on the surface, heck I even wondered if Ethan became a better man and if he have safe.... No one deserved this....

The events of the night looping behind my eyes from the burning of our home to me leaving Seraphim back in the room, on a constant loop, loudly ringing in my ears and flashing through my vision.

I just wanted to forget, go back to how it was, the none complicated life not this mess I was in the middle of.

I just wanted to cry this was so complicated but the pieces of the puzzle did click together, this sword called to me because it's purpose was the serve me, I could use wild magic because I wasn't just human, people were trying to kill the princess because the void had once almost kill Aurelius and he doesn't want that to happen again, the mystery of why I looked how I looked and why I felt as closely of the elf as I felt with any other actual person, all the pieces clicking together.

All but one I guess, that dream of the sounds of war, of scream and roars of dragon I made once but I guess that was that day my.... Egg.... Was stolen as it made sense.

The four parents I had were dead and I barely knew them, I had no one, no father figure, no mother figu--

"Mystery get out of bed now." Belladonna said, hands on her hips. "Get out before I do it myself young lady."

"Mmmmm!!!" I had stayed up late training and felt like today I wasn't going to listen.

"Fine but know you made me do this."

"Yo what the fuck!!" I jumped and shoved the blanket she froze solid off my body.

"Language Mystery and I warned you, you are to get ready and meet me downstairs."

I grumbled as I got up and got dressed, petting Nix before leaving my room.

"Belladonna?" I asked, looking around but seeing no one.

"Outside!"

"Why tell me to meet you downstairs if you'll be..... Out..... Side...." I was shocked as I was met with a small muffin on a plate with, very well made and smelt fresh. "What is this?" I said as I took the plate she held out to me. "What did you do to my stuff to need to but my pardon with a muffin?"

"Nothing Mystery, just that today is a special day."

"Mm?"

"Oh dear you forgot? You're 17 today."

"And you made me a.... Muffin?"

"Eat up and get to training." She turned and walked away as if nothing happened.

I looked down at it before smiling softly.

Well.... I did say Belladonna was a mother figure to us and we were her illegitimate children.... I guess I do have one mother figure and if we count the elm I have something else too, I wouldn't out right say a parental figure as it is more of a tree soul as it was explained many times.

I also had siblings I guess, Leo, Calypso, Amalia and Em.... I've never been as alone as I sometimes felt have I? Why did it take this for me to think of this so deeply.

Now the trouble will be the queen of dragons will come and we need to warn her and with her help flee to dragon land, asking her to carry us will be the easiest part but warning her of what happened....

Maybe.... Don't repeat this to them but dragons are really intelligent animals.... So if I can speak to Arial with my mind I should be able to get to her.... But I never tried contacting a dragon and so far from us.

I sighed, this all weighing so much on my shoulders so much already but I could do nothing to lighten it....
