From a King to a God [Awaken ] Chapter IV

......

...

Athymathy recieved a letter from her father which would serve as a Key, allowing Athymathy into her mother's room.

Athy, who is now walking down the Hallway, alone, accompanied by only her thoughts.

She managed to reach the Room and there she came across two Knights

...

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Well... " — She stood infront of the Guards, the only individuals who stood in her way. —

Knight 1

.... — He was silent, he then looked over at the other knight —

Knight 2

— He too was silent and looked at the other knight before looking back at the woman infront of him —

Knight 1

— He also looked back at her — " Ah My lady you must've already been told by now but you can not enter unless you have a letter of approval from his Grace. "

Knight 1

" So you must turn back from where you came from "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" I came from my Mother's womb. "

Knight 1

" A-ah...you are aware that.. that's not ..."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" I am aware, but I came from my mother's womb, here " — She took out her Letter and handed it over to them — " There.

Knight 1

"Oh right. — He took the letter and carefully examined it, he noticed the seal of approval and slightly nodded at the other knight, indicating that she may enter — " Here. " — He returned it to her —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Mhm. " — She took the letter back —

The knight opened the door for her as they both stepped aside, giving her space to enter

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Well, took you long enough. Maybe father should punish you for your lack of manners and respect towards others, I was well aware. You needed not to inform me... — She took a few steps forward —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" I don't live under a rock..." — She walked into the room, taking one last glance at the first knight, utterly repulsed by his behaviour. She didn't want to mind too much however so she decided to move forward and not look back —

The doors closed, locking her in. The room was well lit, with lavish but still simple designs, the room, carved and built to perfection under the Madam's orders. It was the only thing she could have

Ever since that day.

...

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

— Athymathy, carefully took a few steps close, although she wasn't a huge fan of bright and extravagant designs but she found the room more so pleasant — " Huh...."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Bright...yet not in a bad way.. — The corner of both her lips curled upwards a bit, forming a light smile. —

The room had a good amount of light, Athymathy actually liked it and understood the reason as to why the room is located at the far East side of the Estate

????

It's beautiful... isn't it..? -coughs-

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Huh...Mother...?

Tirian D'louch

Hello Deary...- Coughs but managed to hold out a smile -

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Mothe-...no...Mom.."

Tirian D'louch

" Hmmm — she extended her arms opened her arms far and wide ready to bring her into her embrace —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Mom.." — A feeling of sadness swayed her heart, weighing down on her like hundred pounds of bricks, She immediately ran over and fell into her mother's embrace, holding in her tears as much as she could — [ How... Strange... ]

Tirian D'louch

" It's okay my little Athy, you're safe now..." — With love and care, she gently hugged Athy and caressed her hair while also patting her back a bit —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Momm..-sniffs- [ I'm bawling my eyes out, yet why? What could have been the reason...for me...too cry...] — Her grip was firm yet gentle, she felt almost as if her Mom would disappear at any second now —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

[ Maybe it's because...in my first life...and in my second...there was no one who actually cared for me... She gave me...all of her inheritance...]

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

[ But it wasn't money that made me cry out of sadness...it was her last letter...her letter that broke me..] — Athy sniffed a bit as tears ran down her eyes —

Tirian D'louch

let it all out Dear... don't worry, Mother' is here to care for you whenever you're in need.. — She continues to comfort her daughter —

The reunion that Tirian and Athy shared was no less than beautiful, a sweet moment between a Daughter and her Mother together.

Minutes passed and Athy managed to calm herself down. After she drank some water, their conversation began

...

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Sorry, Mom... I-I haven't been myself lately.. — She held on to her cup of water tightly so —

Tirian D'louch

" It's alright, I understand. Alot has been happening and since the Academy is now taking in new students, things will be even more hectic.. Don't worry dear. " — She tried to reassure her —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

It's just been so long since I last saw you, Dad wasn't lying when he said that you're getting better...but I'd like to hear it from you though [ This isn't Mother, Tirian St. Vonsuen..or her own family name, D'louch..]

Tirian D'louch

" Oh sweety, you care for this old lady far too much. I'm doing quite well though, you need not to worry about me and more about attending the academy...if you are going..? " — She tilted her head, curious to hear her answer —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" I'm glad to hear that you're Alright and actually... I'm not going to the Academy... I didn't apply for the entrance exam, so..." — Her voice lowered a bit, not sure of how her mother would take the news —

Tirian D'louch

" Huh? You're not? But why? Athy you're 17 now, soon your coming of age ceremony will be hosted in less than 4 years..."

Tirian D'louch

" Please try to attend the Acade- — Her words were immediately cut off as she coughed out abruptly, she held on to her chest, having a bit of trouble breathing —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Mom ! " — She tried she assist by handing her a cup of her own water, while also trying to find her medicine — [ My mother who's badly sick now...was cursed. Nobody knows who or why but one day she just fell ill. No doctor or mage could heal her but they all...said the same thing...]

Tirian D'louch

" Right..-coughs- — She immediately took the cup, although she was sick. She still had a bit of strengh to hold on to the cup, she also took her pills and tried to drink it — " Mhmm—!! "

Tirian D'louch

— She struggled a bit but managed to get the first pill down — "Haaah..."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

— She searched for her mother's other effective medication — " Which packet is it..??? Is there any other box besides this one..?? " [ Of course my Mother was not the first, each woman that first marries into the Vonsuen Family always gets cursed, forced to lay in their death beds until the reaper arrives...]

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

[ My mother unfortunately fell in love with my Father...they got married and now here she is...they warned her but she...] — She took out a bottle of one of her various medications, in hopes that it would help — "..Huh..maybe.."

Tirian D'louch

— She nodded — " I.. it's that one...- coughs -

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Don't say anything... please, rest your voice " [ She believed in love way more than her own Health...oh Mom, just why and for a man?] — She opened the bottle and used the teaspoon to pour in a bit of the medicine on it and tried to feed her — " Just drink this. "

Tirian D'louch

— She opened her mouth and drank the medicine before swallowing it. Tirian was now able to breathe a bit more properly than before — " haa-... finally.."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

Feeling...better ? "

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

— She said while placing all her medication back into her cabinet and some on top of it — " it seemed serious "

Tirian D'louch

Y-yes... I'm sorry if I made you ... worried about me... " — She tried to put on a show by forcing out a smile, but it took a toll on her body, leaving her muscles to retract wrongly so, causing muscle cramps and strains all over — " Ergh...

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

M-maybe I should call the Doctor...??..you don't seem well at all..."

Tirian D'louch

" No, dear... I'll be alright...I promise..." — Even with the pain she still tried to smile —

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Mom..." — Her eyes felt a bit watery, seeing how hard her mother is trying to act like she's alright when in fact she isn't. It made her worry even more — [ My Mother...Green hair and eyes, the curse changed her appearance as well...she used to have ocean blue eyed, with white and long Lucious hair...]

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

[ She was often called "Darling Moon" referring to how light she was, almost like the moon and it's cold light ] .." Mom please try to rest... I'll visit you later..." [ The cursed changed her appearance, from the Darling Moon to the Green Thorn..]

Tirian D'louch

When will later..-coughs- be...? It's been quite a while now...since you or anyone last visited me...even your father stopped..."

Tirian D'louch

" I don't know when I'll die..and I don't want to know...but I'm.. — She looked at the side —

Tirian D'louch

" I'm scared...of dying alone..."

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

— Her eyes widened in shock — " H-huh..

To die alone, Something Athy was well familiar off. It suprised her and hit her quite deeply To hear her own Mother say such, not once has she ever thought of how she would feel, knowing that she would soon die

Death, something that comes unexpectedly. Either from Natural causes or intentionally so. Tirian, a woman in her way 40's. Soon to turn 50, her only wish.

was to grow old

Alongside her siblings and watch over her children while spending time

With her husband

Sadly...not all wishes come true. Athymathy knew that, that's why she never bothered to have any expectations.

...

Athymathy St.Vonsuen

" Mom... it's okay, you won't die alone... I'll be here... we'll all be here and if non of them come, I'll still stand by your side... [ I'm sorry...but I'll be leaving before you, you fear death... But I fear life.. ] — She held on to her mother's hand — " I'll stay and tell you a small story...how about it?

Tirian D'louch

— A single tear ran down her right eye, Athy's warmth on her hand brought her closure. She felt reassured more than anything and with a warm smile she nodded — " Yes, I'd love to hear one.. "
