Chapter 19

“Really?” Selene said in disbelief, “Really? That is how you tell her?”

“Well she already knew that I was Aedan Amara so I didn’t have to give her that whole background bit...... And well I was just excited.” Aedan smiled at her sheepishly

Despite herself, Selene smiled back. Aedan Amara was the love of her life, and she respected him more than anyone else in the world. As a leader, he was brave, honourable, determined, and fair. One hundred percent devoted to the Oherran people. The fate of this whole world rested on his capable shoulders, where it had rested for most of his life. It was a heavy burden to carry, and she knew it took its toll on him, but as she looked at the expression on his face now, he seemed like an excited child with no cares in the world. She perhaps loved this quality most about him – despite everything and everyone that depended on him; despite all the hardships he had endured, he was still young at heart. Selene also knew how much he had wanted to find his sister and how happy he was to be able to see her in front of him right now. He had always regretted not knowing his sister, thinking, as they all had, that she had died all those years ago with their parents. Neither of them had imagined it would be this easy to find Arleth. But Selene was glad that she had been; she loved seeing the pure, overjoyed expression on Aedan’s face.

But, she noticed, one person who did not seem to be as overjoyed as they were was Arleth. She looked shocked, shocked and a bit nauseous.

“I am your si... you are my br... I am an Ama...” Arleth trailed off. The shock of everything she had witnessed today and now this proved too much for her to handle. Her head started to spin and the corners of her vision blurred. She vaguely saw Aedan’s concerned face wavering dizzyingly in front of her and then all became dark.

Arleth woke up a few minutes later. She had been moved to the side of the hall and was propped upright against the wall. Aedan and Selene were crouched in front of her. Selene was gently tapping Arleth’s cheek in an effort to bring her back to consciousness.

“Ah,” Said Selene, when she saw that Arleth’s eyes had opened. “Welcome back.”

“What...happened?” Said Arleth slowly, still disoriented.

“You fainted.”

“I fainted?...” Arleth knew that she was acting very stupid, but her mind wasn’t working the way it should. It seemed sluggish – she must be still struggling to return to normal consciousness.

“Yes,” said Aedan, cutting in. “I am sorry Arleth, Selene is right, I shouldn’t have burst something like that on you so suddenly. It is no wonder that you reacted the way you did.”

What is he talking about? Thought Arleth confused. What did he burst on me? Then all of a sudden it all rushed back to her.

He had said that she was his sister.
