The Wizard

"Lily ??

This is the first time I hear dad's voice for a very long time. I missed him.

"Appa ??

Tears began to fell from my cheeks not because I am afraid of the dragon but because I missed my father very much.

"Appa !! There's a dragon !! T-T

My dad kneeled and hugged me tight with tears falling from his eyes, patting my back, shushing me from crying.

"I missed you my princess.

My heartfelt pain and happiness from hearing that from my father. I would've had hated him, but I can't for I missed him and longed for him.

"Appaaaaa!! Bogoshipo T-T

*Father, I miss you - meaning*

"I am not crying because of the dragon but because I really missed you. T-T

"I missed you too my pretty princess.

My dad said while hugging me. Then, I also feel that my brother hugged us.

"Come, let's go. We need to move. I'll explain everything on our way to Gardarein. We need to do something there.

"On our first day ? Are we not staying in this house ? - Lily

"No, the emperor is searching for me. We need to move now.

My father stand up from hugging me then reach me to help me stand. He then held my hand and began to walk.

"Jared, Leo, let's go.

"Where are we going appa ? - Jared

"To Gardarein.

"What's that ? - Jared

"A place where you need to do something Lily.

"Me ? What do I need to do ? - Lily

"I saw that you are wearing your necklace. It has something to do with that.

I touch my necklace with a scale pendant. It was my mother's, but she told me it was mine, and I was confused that time, so I need to ask my father everything.

"Why did you say it was mine when mom only give it to me when she was dying ? - Lily

"It is yours. Your mom and I made that necklace when you were a baby here.

"I was born here ??!

*shocked

"Yes your mother and I once lived here, made you here and give birth to you here. You have the same birthday to the one whose related to your necklace. It imprinted you and its own by you.

"We still have a long way to walk so let me explain to you my children everything you need to know.

"I am a wizard from this kingdom, the kingdom of Brittanea. The kingdom is now governed by the Great Emperor. He is called Great Emperor because he acquired a lot of kingdoms since he inherited the throne. When I mean acquired it means War.

"The father of the Great Emperor and I are best of friends. He is the crown prince that time and we both study together. But after some time his father taught him about governing the kingdom and politics while I put myself into studying magic.

"One day Prince Philip, my best friend, snuck out just to hang out with me but I am currently studying in making a spell.

"Woaaaaah ! So you're like Harry Potter ? - Leo

"Hahahaha you are like your mom. She said that to me too.

"Let's continue, since Philip was there, he suggest helping me and I agreed. So in the book of spells we need to put things inside a drawn circle. I put my ring, and he puts his pocket watch. I then enchant the spell in the book but read some words wrong. I thought it did not work but the things glowed. We get our things back and decided to read again the spell. I read some words wrong again and we laughed. I suggested going to bed after that so we lie on my bed. We closed our eyes and relaxed our minds. I thought I am just relaxing but I fall asleep instead. I did feel like sleeping but not sleeping. And I hear noises. I called Philip but he did not answer. I opened my eyes and saw a different world. Philip is beside me, shocked. He did not have the strength to answer me in his shock.

"We are then trapped in that world for quite a long time before we learn the right procedure.

"Then I met your mom. I showed her my world. I brought her here and got married here. She accepted me for who I am and stayed with me here. And then we have you. When she learned that she was pregnant with Jared, we talked and said that she likes to live there in her world. But I can't come with her that time for I am studying and mastering an important spell. She said as long as I can sustain all your needs it is fine with her and will live with her mother. She missed and longed for her family that time so I agreed.

My father's tears suddenly fell down from his eyes to his cheeks.

"That is the worst decision that I made and I will regret it for the rest of my life. I regret not following her, live with her, show her that I love her, support her, and make her happy. I am such a fool to choose magic over her.

My father burst into tears as we hugged him to comfort him. We know he misses my mom and feel so much pain in the agreement they made in their married life.

"I love your mom so much and I love you all, my children for you are my family. Please forgive your selfish father for not having me by your side when you need me the most. I am very happy to see you here but I feel guilty in all the things that I made against you.

"We forgive you father. We know that you just made eomma's last wish, wherever you are that time. Eomma told us that you can't see her in her grave, and now we understand why. - Lily spoke to her father with kindness. Leo and Jared also agreed.

"Yes, I did saw her that night to give her the cards. She gave me the ring, the ring that made me discover that world. She told me not to go to her funeral so she will be forever alive in my memories, it is her dying wish that I need to fulfill.

My father cried in our arms so we stopped walking for a while. We comfort him with our hugs because he needed that the most more than anything.
