“You didn't know.”

“I’m going to be honest with you, Maddie. I know very little about what's going on.” I give her the rundown on the ears and the wings. She sits quietly, listening intensely.

“Wow,” is all she says when I'm done. But I guess there's not much more to say.

I'm of noble descent.

I'm of noble descent.

I'm of noble descent.

Even repeating it in my head still doesn't make it any more believable. This makes me want to go have another talk with Dad, but at this point, I'm never going to get all the answers I want from him. He could've told me, but he didn't. All he said was we were a fae family at court. I don't understand why he can't just give me full answers, instead of half-truths.

"Do you think that's why the queen is set on having you marry her son?" Maddie asks, breaking through my thoughts. I'm going to be honest, that didn’t even cross my mind, but now, I'm thinking about it.

"I'm not sure. I always assumed she only wanted me for the Ancients' power. I mean, it makes sense that with that kind of magic in her court, she'd be even more unstoppable."

"But if she suspected you're of royal descent...that would be even a bigger power boost."

Maddie is right, of course. I honestly don't know what to think about any of this. With everything that's been going on, it's all I can do to keep it together. Not just with my magic, but mentally and emotionally. It feels like information is being thrown at me at this point, and I don't have the tools to catch all that I need. I want to say that it doesn't matter, that none of this matters, because I am strong and I can handle it. But maybe being strong doesn't mean handling everything. Maybe it's breaking down and maybe it's asking for help, and maybe I simply know nothing of life.

"Hey." Maddie pulls a chair up beside me, taking a seat. She can clearly see the turmoil written all over me. I doubt it's just on my face. "You'll figure it out. It may seem impossible right now, but it's not. That much I know."

"I don't want to be rude when I say this, but just because you handled everything like a boss doesn't mean that I'm made from the same cloth."

The pity party has arrived, and I don't think I have the strength to stop it. All this time I have been holding it together, but I'm not sure how much of that was just a front. I feel comfortable enough with Maddie to show her just how unbalanced I feel. Maybe because I know she's been in my shoes. There's a part of me that's hoping she can offer some nugget of wisdom, to help me see the possibilities at the end of all of this.

"No, you're not made from the same cloth."

The words are spoken with no malice, but they hit me just the same.
