The day after the joyful play between Evelina and Alaric, the sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow in the house. Evelina was helping her foster mother, Delythena Orion, in the garden, enjoying the peaceful moments of her new life.
Evelina Valerius/ Orion (FL)
(giggling) “I swear these flowers are growing faster than I can water them!”
Delythena chuckled, but suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting their laughter. Evelina exchanged a curious glance with Alaric, who had just come in from the other room.
Alaric Orion (FLs foster brother)
(smirking) “Bet it’s another delivery for you. You’re becoming quite popular.”
Evelina rolled her eyes playfully and ran to the door. When she opened it, a well-dressed man stood there, his expression serious and almost somber.
Evelina Valerius/ Orion (FL)
(slightly hesitant) “Can I help you?”
The man hesitated, then nodded, handing her a sealed envelope with an intricate crest. Evelina frowned, glancing back at Alaric, who had joined her at the door, concern etched on his face.
Alaric Orion (FLs foster brother)
(frowning) “Who is he?”
Stranger: (ignoring Alaric) “I have a message for you, Evelina. It’s important.”
Evelina’s heart raced as she took the envelope, feeling its weight. The moment felt heavy with unspoken truths.
Evelina Valerius/ Orion (FL)
(opening the envelope) “What is this about?”
The stranger stepped back, his eyes darting between her and Alaric, creating an air of tension that filled the room.
Stranger: “I cannot say much here. Just know your past is not as forgotten as you believe.”
Alaric's protective stance became more evident as he moved closer to Evelina, his gaze never leaving the stranger.
Alaric Orion (FLs foster brother)
“If you have something to say, say it now.”
As Evelina unfolded the letter, a chill ran down her spine. The words inside hinted at secrets buried deep in her family’s past, and the stranger's warning echoed in her mind: “Your past is not as forgotten as you believe.”
