"Who even cares."
Her eyes went to Euphemia. The womanās fire that was alive and hot a second ago was now dead and cold. Her eyes widened at her next words though. She is just giving her kingdom away now? I personally wouldnāt want to live in Emperia, but Iād be damned before I let Justice take anyone elseās kingdom...How is my kingdom doing? Silvia's mind was assaulted with images of her own kingdom, her parents, and then flashes of the lands she saw with her father.
Her thoughts stopped as she noticed Ishara was speaking. Silvia believed someone before her had spoken, but she wasnāt sure. She watched as Ishara ran off with her friend in hand. Memories of Nik, Isharaās brother, entered her mind. Silvia frowned as worry for him filled her. They were simple memories. To no one's surprise, she gave him flowers as gifts. She was nice to him, but maybe more so as he was a mute. Silvia never minded his company and even worried for him. He was younger than her as well, and she had a soft spot for the younger princes and princesses. Hell, she had a soft spot for children now.
Does Ishara not care at all about what happened to her brother? What did Ivelda do with him? What did she do with all the princes? What if they're all dead? She shivered at thought and cleared her mind. If she continued to go along that train of thought, she knew her eyes would get watery. The last thing she wanted to do in public was cry. She would do it in her room when she was alone. By the time she thought of running off after the pair to talk to at least Ishara, it was too late. I hate that I am tall and am having trouble finding two people shorter than me. They must have gone too far into the fairgrounds already. If they stay, I imagine Ishara may want to give her brother a message still if he is alive...maybe I should go look for them...
"I . . . I am going back. I can't help but feel Rhindeval needs me . . . needs us. So I am going to help Ms. Evers as much as I can. I hope the rest of you are able to come, but I won't force you to. I don't have anything else I want to do, so I am going to listen in on those stories. Bye."
Apparently, Silvia had been so lost in memories and thoughts that she missed something. She simply watched as Aurora walked away to listen to Lilith tell stories.
"How can she accept this so easily? We all have lives here too right? How can we just 'pick up and leave it'. Freddie did make a point, this feels more real to me then my own memories. I am not ready to accept all of this yet, but . . . I don't like the idea that our birthplace could be suffering. Justice did make a point, Ivelda did kill our birth parents. The idea she's still free rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I'll take Ms. Evers up on her offer for tomorrow. Maybe then I can come to a decision. What do the rest of you plan on doing? I do need a break from all this though."
I definitely missed something... Silvia let out a deep breath. She was starting to become overwhelmed with stress. Some of the memories were nice, but stressful. The memories made her sad as well. Having dead parents and missing friends was a sad thing. Also, she had blanked out twice today already which was bad. It didnāt help that her anger was seeping away with the initial energy it brought. Her eyes went over to Meri as she wouldnāt ignore her this time.
āMeridian...Ivelda killed our parents. I canāt imagine what she may have done to our kingdoms. I know we all have lives here, but our kingdoms need us. I know my people would not have gone down without a fight. All the kingdoms were left without their rulers. If we leave, the people we leave here will be changed, but not for the worst. If we stay though, the lives of the people in our kingdoms will surely stay changed for the worst. Most importantly, if we have the chance to go back...I need to go. I need to know what happened to the princes, my people, and my kingdom. I wouldnāt be able to live here left with those questions unanswered. Even if it wasnāt for those questions, I couldnāt live here always wondering. I would always wonder, what if I had gone? I always felt out of place in my life here for some reason, and now I know why. It was as if something was always missing...which I know now to be true,ā she replied, not even realizing she pretty much gave a mini speech. Slowly, her eyes wandered over to Justice. Justice was still unconscious in Torresās arms. Silvia walked over to the pair and looked back at Meri.
āI am going to get Justice to the first aid tent. I donāt like her, but guess I need to make sure she isnāt seriously hurt. I did like her as a child or got along with her at least,ā she added. It was easy for me to get along with anyone as a child...funny how things have changed. Before Torres could react or object, Silvia quickly took Justice out of his arms. Silvia put one arm under her knees and another behind her back. She nodded to the others before heading off to the tent.
