“Let me start at the beginning,” Carmen said. “We are at a
crossroads. Darkness and light, good and evil, happiness and sadness … the
battle between them is never ending. However, at times, that battles bubbles to
a head where one over powers the other. We’re at that desperate crossroads now.
The last time we dealt with this battle, magic disappeared from this world for millennia.
However, protectors, guardians of magic were created to save humanity.”
“And we’re the guardians of magic?” Bella asked.
“No. I’m a guardian,” Carmen said. “You and Edward are the
future of this world. Together, you can bring magic back and save our world.”
“No pressure,” I snorted, scrubbing my face. “And we’re not
human?”
“You’re not. Edward, you are almost purely fae,” Carmen
said. “Your mother was a human and your father was the last fae warrior before
he was slaughtered by minions of the darkness, of evil.”
“My birth father was slaughtered?” I asked, my heart shattering.
“He was. He was protecting you,” Carmen whispered, moving
and kneeling in front of me. She reached out, wiping my cheek and smiling
softly. “He couldn’t be a part of your life because of the dangers of his
station. But, he protected you as long as he could. His final act was to put a
binding spell on your powers so you could grow up as a human, allowing your
powers to mature.”
“Did he love me?” I whispered, blinking rapidly. “I never
really knew my mom and I thought my dad just abandoned me.”
“He sacrificed everything for you. He loved you and wanted
the world for you,” Carmen breathed. “He wanted your happiness and he prayed
that the world wouldn’t go hell like it did, but something happened that made
the epic battle move forward.” She took my hand, rubbing my knuckles. “He loved
you.” She stood back up, looking at Bella. “You are three-quarters fae. Your
mother was a fae maiden, who loved a human man.”
“Is my mother alive?” Bella asked. “I lived with my father
until he passed away.”
“Like Edward’s birth father, she stayed close by after she
gave birth to you, but once she heard of your father’s passing, she faded
away,” Carmen frowned. “However, she was royalty, like your father, Edward. The
two of you are destined for more. You are bonded.”
