Chapter 28 More secrets

Blaze pov

When I heard her saying that she knows who Evolet Zephyrine is my heart stopped. Why do I have the impression that I won't like this?

"How do you know that? "

I notice the saddens and pain in her eyes.

'Why is look like this is hurting her?'

"Do you remember when I told you about my parents lying to me?"I nod."Well ..they lie to me about my identity. "She said tears running down her cheeks. I stepped closer trying to wipe them away, but she holds her hand up stopping me in my tracks.

"It seems like I never was Evolet Wood, the Princess of the Earth Kingdom. Aaron and Erin Wood are not my parents! They told me about it on that night, when we left the Air Kingdom. That's why I wanted to leave that quickly. "

"What do you mean they're not your parents? "

"They are not Blaze! My mom died after gave birth to me, asking them to hide this from me till now! I don't know why she will do that!" she said sobbing.

"What about your father? Did they told you anything about him?"

Her eyes showed more pain and fear.'Why would she be afraid to tell me about her father? '

"I... I am Evolet Zephyrine! My mom was Noelani Zephyrine and my ...my father is...my father is King Kai, Blaze!"She said in a low voice that held so much pain.

I realise what she said after few minutes. It was like my mind didn't want to process this information. 'The women I'm in love with, is the daughter of my biggest enemy? '

My blood was boiling with rage! But I can't tell if it was because she was the daughter of that bastard, or because she looked in so much pain! They've been lying to her for twenty years! This must be so, so painful.

"Blaze? Please say something! Don't let me like this. I swear I didn't know about this earlier. If I have known I wouldn't let anything happen between us! Please Blaze.." she said falling down the floor.

I run to her side."Evolet! It's not your fault my little flower! This won't change anything between us! I promise. It just that I wonder what's going to happen now. Do you think he knows? Kai?"

She didn't answer my question, instead wrapped her arms around me and kissed me. I kiss her back, putting all my emotions in it.

"Let's get you to bed now, and I'll go see what that girl wants. "I said when we pulled apart to breathe.

Her head snaps to me.

"No! I want to go with you too!"

"But Evolet..what if she's here to hurt you?"

"It doesn't matter! She's here for me, Blaze! I need to know what she wants. I need to see her!"

I nod my head hesitantly. I hope the girl is smart enough to not try anything stupid.

.....

Amaya pov.

When I get to the Fire Kingdom border I was surrounded by their warriors.

"Who are you? What's your business here?" one of them asked me stepping forward.

"I'm here for Evolet Zephyrine! Please! I need to see her as quick as possible !" I said feeling too tired to explain everything that happened.

"We know no one with this name! Are you a spy, little girl? "

"What? No!"

Of course, they thought I was a spy. Otherwise why a water elemental will come to their land?

"Take her to the dungeons! I'll inform the King. He will decide that!"He said looking at me with disgust.

"Please! Don't! I need to find Evolet! "I said. But it seems they didn't care what I wanted.

When we get to the dungeons they pushed me inside a cell and locked the door. There was just a single bed, and the only light was coming from few torches placed on the hall. The concrete floor was so cold, so I get on the bed. I couldn't hear anyone else.' Don't they have any prisoners? '

I was so hungry and tired.

'How long it will take for their king to come. It is he so cruel like everyone says? '

Just when I closed my eyes the sound of a door opening made me jump. I get in one corner, my knees on my chest, afraid of what's gonna happen to me.

"There she is, My King! "I heard the voice of the warrior who captured me at the border.

"Leave us now! And make sure no one is to come in here till I finish with her!"

I heard stopped at the deep voice.'Finish with me? Is he going to kill me?'

The cell door open and I see a tall, well-built man and next to him a girl about my age.'Who is she? She's so beautiful! '

"Who are you and what do you want? "the man, who is the king asked.

"I'm ... I'm Amaya. And I'm here for Evolet. Evolet Zephyrine. "

"What do you want with her?"The girl asked this time.

"I... I'm not sure. It seems like I need to find her, to protect her."

"Protect her? Protect her from what? And why do you think you'll be able to do that?"

"I ..i...I don't know yet! But I will find out when the time comes. This is what I was told."

"Told by who? Did King Kai send you? Are you working for him?"

"N..no!King Kai might want me dead! I was told by my grandmother..and my mother left me this letter before she died. I just opened it two days ago." I said searching for the letter and handing it to him.

After they read it they looked at each other confused.

"What power? What is the Guardian of Celestia? And the Book of Life? "

"I don't know! "I'm sorry. I am as confused as you. "Here! This seems to be the book! But is nothing in there?" I said holding the book for her to take.

She stepped closer and took the book. Her fingers brushed mine and a purple light enveloped the book covers.

And I feel it! I feel the power hidden in her! So deep inside, waiting to be released.

"You're here! You are Evolet Zephyrine! I felt it! I felt your power!"

I knew she felt it too, by the way, she looked at me.

"Look! "The King said pointing at the book.

The purple light was there no more but instead, five signs were now visible. I could recognise four of them. It was Air, Water, Fire and Earth. But what's the fifth one stand for?

I open the book, only to see letters appearing on its empty pages.

We will be able to read The Book of Life.
