Secret of Fates

Waking up the next morning, Iy rubbing her eyes and sat up in the bed looking around wondering if last night was all a dream.  Stepping on to the cold floor she sighed realizing this was all real. Remembering everything that went on last night she decided today she would try her hardest to avoid the queen.  Iy got dressed and went out on a search for Kane.  After some searching she saw him sitting in a magnificent room filled with books along every wall in it.  The shelves were built with a whimsical touch; some were un-even some in a slant; but not one book seemed like it would fall.  Also sitting in the room with Kane was Krylous.  They seemed to have been talking about something important because when she walked in to the room all conversation came to a halt.  "Ah Iyanna I am glad you found us.  I was just going through the events from last night with Krylous."  Kane said as Iy sat in a chair next to him.  Rubbing her temples in attempt to not  yell at him for being a d-bag to her the night before Iy just let out of fake yawn and said “ok”.

Waiting for Iyanna to settle in her chair, Krylous walked over to one of the book shelves and grabbed this beautiful ivory and gold trim covered book with the title "Secret of Fates" written on it in emerald green.  “Hm that looks just like a lot of that girl Gem’s things in her room.”  Iyanna said to herself as she watch him walk back to his chair.  "I know after the events that’s taken place over the last few days has left you with an enormous amount of questions.  This book holds some of the answers you may be looking for” Krylous spoke as he handed it to her.  “You grew up in a world that only showed you what their society wanted you to know and understand.  A world where goblins, ghost, and ghouls are made up just to scare children into eating their vegetables.”  “ To the outsiders that is true for the most part, but there is more to this world then any of them will know.”  Said Krylous before asking Iy to open the book.  Doing as she was told she opened the book to the very first page.

On the inside cover of the book was a fold letter with the name Gem written on it.  Inside the letter it read.

To my dearest daughter,

“Gem?!”  “There goes that name again!”  Yelled Iyanna after reading the letter.  Pissed off and confused Iy ask.  “Why did you ask me to read this if this was meant for Gem?!  This has nothing to do with me Krylous!”  Iyanna put the letter back in the book and threw it on the ground storming out of the room in pure rage screaming every curse word she knew known to man.  All Iy wanted to do was go back to her room slam the door and forget any of this ever happened.  Just before getting to the door of her room she heard her name being shouted from down the hall.  “Kane!  What do you want?”  She yelled opening the door.  Seeing her rage and how mad she was he stopped her and ask if she would take a walk with him down in the garden.  Kane said it’s a good place for clearing your mind and it gives you a little peace from all of the crazy going on in this world.  Feeling like nothing else will help anyway she decided to take him up on his offer; so off to the garden they went.

After walking a little while in this amazingly gigantic mazelike beautiful garden feeling a bit lost kind of like her own thoughts Iyanna decided to ask Kane some questions that can hopefully shed some light on this twisted situation that she is now in.  Before she could get her first word out Kane spoke first.  “ Look, I know exactly what you’re going through and I know how overwhelmed and scared you must be feeling.  It wasn’t that long ago that I was brought here for my first time and just like you, I wanted to run away and go back home to my family and friends.  For weeks and weeks on end I made many different plans of escape and every time I failed.  They told me my name wasn’t my real name and my parents were never my real parents.  I was mad at the world having felt lied to for all those years.  The only thing that helped me stay was finding out my real father was here.”  Iyanna couldn’t help but feel bad for him and realized she wasn’t alone after all.  “ Is Krylous your real dad?”  She asked wondering if that’s who he was talking about.  Lifting up his head meeting her gaze Kane spoke. “ Yes Iyanna, he is and before I learned my name was Kane my name was Jordan.”  “ See like you I had a different name as well.  I hated ‘Jordan’ though.  Do you know how many jokes can come from that name alone? 50 is.”  Iyanna could help but laugh thing of the jokes she had in her mind but she didn’t say them she just walked along side him in silence instead.  “ I know you still have many questions for me and some I can answer, some I can’t but not all of them right now its getting late and dinner will be served soon.  One I can answer though is yes You are Gem.”  Finally looking up seeing the moon and stars Iyanna and Kane decided to make their way back inside heading straight to the dinning hall for dinner.
