Battling in the dark of the truth - Chapter 2

I look at mom with a scared expression and in a small voice, I said “I...I was scared to tell you.”

She replied nicely with a smile on her face. “You are growing up, and you are destined for power. Those marks are the marks of a prince or a princess. You have to go on a quest to find out who you truly are.” “I am sorry for hiding it from you but it was for your protection.” Her smile fades a little after saying it.

I struggle to find any words.

She continues to speak “Back on our home planet, Thalkien There were different clans for the different areas. The Yellow Eagles for the mountainous area, The Crystal Lilies for the oceanic areas, The Ice Horns for colder areas, The Abandoned for more abandoned areas, and lastly The Yellow Jackals for Plains.” “I was a Crystal Lily, You were a Yellow Jackal” “There was a castle for each clan. Your parents ruled the Yellow Jackals and left you a lot of money” her smile fades more after telling it.

I stutter then ask “I am a princess?”

Mom nods and says “I am not your real mom, I am your safe keeper because of the state of our planet is in. Your real parents’ names were Verity and Aurik. I was a close friend of theirs that’s why they entrusted me with you. You need money for your trip so we need to go.”

I ask “When will I stop getting marks?”

She says “when you’re old enough to fill the role”
