(Malvin) “ugh… Where am i..”
(Mayhin) “Malvin, you’re awake”
(Malvin) “Captain! How did I end up here”
(Mayhin) “Oh that, the prisoners you freed from the temple they brought you here in the barracks”
(Malvin) “Oh they did… I’m sorry captain”
(Mayhin) “don’t push yourself Malvin, it wasn’t your fault besides you saved people too”
(Malvin ) “I couldn’t save Samim and my men”
(Mayhin) “Look I know your pain and on top of that you lost you close friend but you can’t save them all can you”
(Malvin) “And I also couldn’t avenge my loss”
(Mayhin) “Look it’s ok, don’t blame yourself now. You know what I have better idea, why don’t you go and pay a visit to your old man I received his letter and looks like he misses you”
(Malvin) “I’ll write him right now”
(Mayhin) “No you won’t you are leaving first thing in morning I’ll handle the rest”
(Malvin) “But captain”
(Mayhin) “ hey I said no so no I won’t hear anything else soldier while I’ll help you find your leads”
(Malvin)
(Mayhin) “Good I’ll be off now since I have to request the governor for troops”
(Malvin) “Good luck sir”
(Mayhin) “I’ll carve my luck to my likings”
{Malvin nods and Mayhin leaves. The next morning Malvin rides his horse to inlands of Atropatene where his father was and finally reaches home. He Knocks and enters but doesn’t see his father at home he searches more and later finds him gathering fire wood from the firewood racks in the shed. His father is in his mid 60s and his name is Chronos Monas. He was a Roman settler who now makes living by trade on Persian lands. He sees Malvin standing infront of house and smiles. A hearteous smile that showed affection}
(Father) “I see my soldier is back from the war”
(Malvin) “Yes father he came back victorious”
(Father) {approaches Malvin and hugs him} “ I felt a little bit lonely but knew that my soldier was guarding me. Come on let’s have a feast I’ve been saving this lamb for this occasion”
(Malvin) “ Yes sure I feel empty too”
(Father) “Sure you do”
{they both go inside and prepare the dinner together and in the evening they both enjoy it together}
(Father) “It’s been long since I saw Samim where is he?”
(Malvin) “He died father”
(Father) “I’m sorry to hear that”
(Malvin) “it’s ok” {takes a bite} “Father there’s something I wanted to ask you for long time”
(Father) “What is it Malvin?”
(Malvin) “Mother… I wanted to ask about my mother.”
(Father) {glares at Malvin as something shocking has been said} “Let’s eat for now”
(Malvin) “That’s very unlikely of you father. What’s wrong why won’t you tell me about my mother. All this time how come you never spoke of her… I wanna know who my mother was? what happened to her? Where is she now”
(Father) {stands up enraged} “Malvin I see you have become insolent, I said we can talk about it but you have forgotten being respectful so then as you wish, you wanna hear it so badly, I shall grant your wish, your mother… is… not a human… and not a person you can think of meeting”
(Malvin) “what!? What do you mean by not human. What’s that you are hiding about her identity? Are you kidding me?”
(Father) “Our conversation is over”
(Malvin) “wait no father I wanna know about her why can’t you tell me? How hard can it be?
(Father) “As of now Malvin I’m afraid I can’t tell you but I know someone who might be of help”
(Malvin) “And who might that be?”
(Father) “the one who was left as your watchman”
(Malvin) “Father stop making this hard”
(Father) “I’m not making this hard,I just want to protect you”
(Malvin) “protect me? From what”
(Father) “from the truth that you are so curious about might seem a simple thing but remember one thing that you’re curiosity might lead you to enemity that you won’t be able to handle”
(Malvin) “you encountered it peacefully so will I”
(Father) “I wish that It could have been peaceful”
(Malvin) “What do you mean father”
(Father) “Seek it for yourself”
(Malvin) “I will but I won’t forget that you didn’t help me find the one that was most important to me”
(Father) “you’ll know my reasons soon”
(Malvin) {gets up and leaves the house and makes way to barracks on his horse} [what could be so hard that he was hiding it from me? But one thing have been cracked that who is the person watching me over]
(Mayhin) “I thought you had off and I think I forced you to it”
(Malvin) “Reporting my presence captain, I had enough of reunion”
(Mayhin) “what’s bothering you Malvin I thought you’d have nice time with your father but I guess that I was wrong. What on your mind”
(Malvin) “Captain who was my mother?”
(Mayhin) {shocked} “How could I know it’s your mother”
(Malvin) “Really then what’s with being shocked”{gently takes out his sword}
(Mayhin) “Look Malvin I know nothing about all that at all”
(Malvin) “I see” {swings the sword and cuts Mayhin’s hand but to his surprise the sword goes through without cutting anything}
(Mayhin) {glances at him but doesn’t makes a cry of being hurt but soon realizes} “Arghh… what was that for.. You assaulted your captain…”
(Malvin) {shocked} [there’s no blood…and no cut!?] “Who are you?”
(Mayhin) “It’s me your captain…”
(Malvin) {enraged} “No tell me who are you. Dammit who the hell are you? Your not human… My men they got killed on orders of a non human being. Samim got killed infront of my eyes”
(Mayhin) “Wait Malvin I can explain”
(Malvin) {yells} “EXPLAIN.!”
(Mayhin) {stands while his legs shiver} “Malvin look no hard feelings I’m just a watchman”
(Malvin) “watchman? For who? Who sent you?”
(Mayhin) “P-Princess I’m h-her watchman”
(Malvin) “Princess? What princess? What princess commands over Djinns*?
(Mayhin) “Malvin… look I’m sorry you lost all those men…”
(Malvin) “You knew? Why didn’t you stop us? What kind of watchman lets harm occur to the thing he was gaurding?”
(Mayhin) “I-I was just following orders… so… I’m sorry Malvin”
(Malvin) “will your sorry now bring all those men back and more importantly is your princess also with temple”
(Mayhin) “N-No how do I say this but princess knew that you’ll be the successor”
(Malvin) “Stop giving me the crap you are a traitor Mayhin, I don’t even know if you are Mayhin and who knows you might be also the ally of Ahriman’s follower”
(Mayhin) “Look I get it but I can’t explain this anymore so I suggest that you meet the princess yourself.”
(Malvin) “And how do you suggest that I should trust you”
(Mayhin) “Trust me for the sake of your unanswered questions”
