Mercury Family/Eilien/The Visit (Part II)

The Visit (Part II)

Eilien sees her father coming. He does'nt look like the legend he is right now. He looks powerfull, but human. Some starnge feeling starts to grow inside of her. Some kind of tendernes. He is her father after all.

Erik:Excuse me to make you wait, my dear...it's good to see you here.

The girl has some extrange feelings inside. But she likes to be welcomed by her father.

Eilien: I'm sorry...it's just...Nobody calls me that way except from my mother. But don't worry, I just have to get use to it. He smiles.

Eilien: I wanted to visit you... I never been in Avamar before...and...I thougt that could be a good excuse to visit you.

She gets blushed.

Eilien: Maybe I should send a letter before...I know that I am a Countess now...after all the inquisicions about my last name...I supose that is not going to be easy to be your daughter.I just...wanted to see you. That's all.

Erik knows that is something else inside of her. Eilien, the dragons daughter, drinks the wine. The best wine that she ever taste. Soft and tasty.

Eilien: Dad, When I became countess of Dolmbar, I visited every single place in the region. That includes a small church...of Elune. I mean is not even a church...but...I spoke with the priesteses and I became a follower. I've been rised up as a human, but knowing that some other tipe of blood runs throw me...I wanted to be more in touch with that side of it. After all, my mother always says to me that I look exactly like you.

She laughs very sweetly. She is a woman now, and a beautifull one. Soon the gentlman of Sirion will see that. But in front of him she is just a shy child.

Eilien: The truth is....that...I was at home...with my mum and...the news of your marriage came and...Because I know that is a sacred thing I understood, but i had some doubts...so, she told me that if I had any doubts I should visit you, and talk. "He proves to you that he cares about you" she said...so here I am. What I want to know is...where I came from. How did you met? did you love eachother when I was conceived? I know that I must sound stupid...but I would like to know...

When she speaks, she keeps her eyes down in the glass of wine. She can feel her fathers eyes serching her face.

Eilien: oh! I almost forgot. Mum gave me this to you. She gives him a small peace of paper. He reads this words under the shy look of Eilien.

"I'd rather fly...because we fly, she came into this world. I hope you are as proud of her as I am."

Erik close the paper and smiles at her daughter. She smiles too, finding her eyes ito his. They have the same cold and tendernes. They both have the same eyes.
