Son Of Chaos 23 Sensing

There was a comfortable silence as they both did their own things but still spent time together. The scene seemed quite harmonious and one could feel the close bond between the two of them.

Suddenly the girl put her book down and looked towards her mother.

"Mom, how come daddy isn't living with us?"

"Huh?", her mother looks up in surprise.

"Doesn't he love the two of us?"

The mother wasn't really sure how she should answer this question, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"To be honest, I don't think he knows you exists and he should most likely have forgotten me too."

"Oh.", the little girl looked down with a sad face, but the mother had no idea how she could comfort her. Luckily she soon looked up again and asked another question.

"Then could you tell me how you met him?"

"Hm, how come you are asking so many questions about him suddenly?"

The child points at the book it had read. It seems like there was something about the story which had made her ask these questions.

"Ah, ok. Then I'll tell you the story but there are a few parts I will only tell you if you are older."

She collected her thoughts and then started to tell the story of how she had met the father of her daughter and her husband.

"At that time I was still going out adventure and we were going to a newly discovered location which was expected to have some valuable resources. Sadly after we fought our way in we had to realize that we miscalculated the level and coordination of the creatures there. We got surrounded and one member of our group fell. There wasn't really a chance for us to ever get out alive."

Her eyes seemed to look far away as she reminisced.

"When we were sure that we wouldn't be able to survive he came. I don't even know how he looked, since we were all heavily wounded and not really able to concentrate. Anyway he came and killed all the foes at that location before taking me away."

"Then what about the others in your party?"

"He left them, but since he killed all the monsters near them they managed to survive."

"That's good", the daughter said with relief. It seemed like she hoped for her father to be a nice man.

"Then what happend after he took you away?"

The mother saw her daughter look eagerly at her and couldn't help laughing.

"After that he took me to a cave where he laid me down on a bed and we did what adults do so little ones like you can be born."

"Then why didn't you stay with him?"

"When I woke up he was already gone.", and what she didn't tell was that she was never asked if she wanted to sleep with him or that he told her that this was his reward for saving them.

"Then he must be really strong right?"

"Yes, I don't know how strong but since he was able to kill all these monsters so easily he must have been quite strong."

Her daughter looked puzzled, "Then how come he feels weak?"

"Huh, what do you mean he feels weak?"

"Ever since I got that t.i.tle I have been able to feel a presence and when I concentrate on it the system tells me it is my father."

Her mother looked at her in astonishment.

"You can sense him? Why didn't you tell me?"

She scratches her head, "I forgot. And yes I can sense him but only sometimes. Sometimes the presence just disappears."

"Then can you feel where he is?", the mother now sounds quite agitated as she questions her daughter.

"Only the rough direction."

"Really? You can really feel where he is?"

Her daughter nodded, being a bit intimidated by her reaction.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me."

"Then lets go and look for him tomorrow alright?"

"Of course and then we can ask him to live together with us."

She was a bit shocked by what her daughter wished for but she wasn't able to deny her wish after seeing the hopeful look on her face.

"Alright.", she sights in her mind, since she didn't think that it would be realistic to expect him to live with them.

"Thank you mommy."

She smiles at her daughter and dotingly pats her head. In her mind she couldn't help but feel some fear when she thought about meeting that man. What would she do if he insisted to take away her daughter? What if he though that their daughter was an existent which shouldn't have come to this world? She could only hope that her daughters words where correct and he was week now. If that was the case than for her daughter she would have him live with them, even though she hated that guy who had taken her first time.

"Now lets go to bed darling, it's late already."

"Mmm, I can't wait for tomorrow."

The two of them went towards the girls bedroom and her mother accompanied her until she fell asleep.

After going back to her own backroom she then contemplated about whether she should tell her father about what happend or if she should first find him.

It was already past midnight when she made the decision to find him first and then talk to her parents because who knew what would happen if her father found about about them going to find him.

After making her decision she finally fell asleep.
