The Kings Power 6 Why?

When I woke up, the past events came rushing forward, I couldn't believe what Cid told me, so when we were heading back, I was silent, deep in my thoughts.

I must go see grandmother about this, I mean, it can't be true can it?

Cid must be lying! But, why would she tho? Although she was older than me, about 10 years, she was like a big sister to me. I had a connection with her that I never truly did understand, but now I do, she was friends with my mother, that's why she always looked out for me.

I sighed before getting up and headed out to grandmothers place to get some answers.

When I got there, grandmother welcomed me with a big hug, and of course she could sense something was off, "child, what is it? You look tired and puzzled," she said with concern, "grandma, I have came here looking for answers" she must have known what I was talking about, because as I said that, she sighed and told me to come in and sit down.

"I know what you must be thinking, how could I lie to you, why did I do it in the first place?" she said as she sat in front of me.

''How did you even know I was here for that?" I asked her, was, she like, expecting this day to come?

She sighed before speaking, " I knew this day would come, eventually. I also know that because you found out the truth, your power must have been unlocked." I was shocked, "did you know this would happen?" I asked, she nodded, "yes, and I know Cid must have told you about your parents" she looked straight at me, like we weren't even having this conversation. "Yeah, like my parents never were together, like my father never even knew I excisted!" I raised my voice with anger, how can she look at me like that? Does she even regret lying to me!

Tears started to form in my eyes, I'm not really one for crying, so I quickly rubbed the tears away.

"Your mother wanted to tell him, but before your mother could, your father told her that this isn't going to work, she would only stand in his way from reaching his goal. But I knew there was something else, especially when a few days after the breakup, your father died in a battle, it was like he knew he would die and was trying to protect your mother. Deep down your mother knew that, so when you were born, she stayed a few months preparing for battle against the same person your father has fought when he died, but this time there was an army that was standing behind your mother. Only, it wasn't enough, he over powered them easily, but what he didn't realise, was that your mother was able to stab him, but instead of dying, he rose again and awoken these beats that wander our land 28 years ago, people think that if you could destroy him, you can destroy the darkness that is coming to our land, but it isn't that easy as they believe, there is a legend that the royals believe in, "the kings power" that is what they call it, they believe that whatever is in these tombs, can defeat the darkness if all is collected, but, be warned, these tombs are well hidden among our land, only a very few has been found." She explained.

I looked at her questionely, why is she telling me this, she surely doesn't think....

"Grandma, you can't seriously think I can do it!" I exclaimed, "I don't think you can do it'' she said, but before I can reply, she said, " I know you can do it, I believe in you, but even if you get to him without the power, it won't kill him, the darkness keeps him alive, you can almost say he is immortal." She whispered the last part, almost like she is scared that the walls have ears.

I thought about what my grandmother said, but then I remembered the reason why I originally came here for.

She must have saw the change in my expression and laughed at me. "But it's not the reason you came here for, I know, ask any questions you might have."

I immediately thought about the question I wanted to ask the moment I arrived here, "why did you tell me that my parents were extremely happy when I was born, if my father didn't even know that I excisted?"

My grandma smiled at that, "your mother told me, that if she does not make it back, I shouldn't tell you that, especially at your age, but I should create the perfect family that she once wanted to have with your father, in your head, and when the time comes, I would have told you the truth," she explained.

I did understand why they did it, to not let me grow up in hate, but in love, but that does not mean it didn't hurt.
