Seventy Two

I didn't believe him, I had no reason to believe a word that he said, but a part of me wanted to know if there was some truth to his words. I asked him why I should believe him and he told me to ask Kevin. Arthur asked how he knew about him, and he said that he has ears everywhere. Tired of hearing him, I drew my sword and went to attack him, but he went right through the door and told me to save my energy for the fight.

    I asked Arthur if what he said was true, but Merlin never told him, so he wasn't sure. He was almost certain that Zephyr was lying to get under my skin, but I still went to sleep with Arthur ready to ask Kevin. When I woke in the field of flowers, Kevin wasn't there to greet me. He was a distance away from me staring at the sky. He said that it looked like rain was coming.

    I asked him if Zephyr and I really were half-siblings, and he tried to change the subject. Angry, I yelled and thunder followed. He quietly said yes. While trying to hold back my tears, I asked him if father killed his father. He said yes. I asked him if I was born of rape by my father to my mother, and he said it's true. I asked him if that was why he and father got into their huge fight, and it was.

    As I was choking on my tears, I yelled 'if I was never born, none of that would've happened, and everyone would be alive.' He approached me, saying that it wasn't true and the only man responsible was dead. I stared him right in the eyes and asked him if he and Zephyr would've been happy and alive if I was never born, and he remained silent. He knew it was true and couldn't fight it.

    I woke up and picked up my sword. I stared at it and asked, 'Why me? Why did it choose me? I'm the cause of all of this! Why would it pick me?' I cried all night. The tears stopped falling, but I still sobbed.

Arthur was woken up in the morning after a night of trying to comfort me by the sound of a canon blasting, and George even opened the door and found us. He told us that the battle had begun, but I refused to fight.
