“Kevin, I need you to calm down. Everything will be sorted out. I just need you to hear me out and listen to what I have to say.” the Wizard said. “I’ll explain everything to you, just sit down.”

“Kevin, please sit.” Lina also said.

Kevin heaved heavily and sat on one of the seats that were in Lina’s office.

The wizard then walked towards the door to call in someone. A middle-aged lady had entered. She had a veil over her head, preventing anyone from seeing her face or knowing who she is.

She was presented to sit down opposite where Kevin was seated.

Lexa sat beside Kevin while the wizard sat close to the lady that just entered. He cleared his throat and started speaking.

“You wanted to know who your real parents are, right? I’ll tell you everything you want to know.” The wizard said.

“I used to be the palace wizard who performs sorcery and magic for the royal families because of their inability to use magic. But I was also a close friend to the father of your mother. He was a good man who loves his family and wouldn’t want them to fall into danger and I respect him for that. He told me that his daughter was having an affair with a human. And what was worse was that his daughter was pregnant for him.”

.....

“They couldn’t terminate the pregnancy so he had no choice but to allow his daughter to give birth to the child, if the outcome favors them, then there will be no problem but if otherwise, the rightful thing will need to be done at the rightful time.”

“Finally, the day of birth of the child came and the mother successfully gave birth to a son but unfortunately, the child was human and not an Elf. Everyone had thought that at least if the mother gives birth, the child might turn out to be an Elf, but it was all wrong. They had no choice but to banish the child from the Elf land. If word goes out that a human child was given birth to, in the elf land, the child will not only be killed but the family of the female that gave birth will go through the same punishment of being executed.”

“Your grandfather came to meet me and explained his situation to me. He wanted to save the child, he wanted to save you and hide you somewhere safe. They couldn’t take you to the human world for fear of being killed on the way to your father’s land.”

“So I decided to help your mother in a way no one would suspect foul play. We planned to put the ‘baby you’ into a basket and make you float in the river till you reach the second riverbank to be saved by my disciples. That way, everyone would think we drowned the human child inside the river, while unknown to everyone that we are saving you.”

“After everyone left, I took you with me deeper into the forest on the east side of the land closer to the human world. If we had gone to the forest located on the west side of the land, there’s a possibility that we’ll be spotted by a dark elf or vampire, so we didn’t go that way.”

“Your grandfather would often come to visit and for five years before he died, he never told anyone about you, not even your mother and it was all to protect you.”

“After your grandfather died, I decided to trace the location of your father in the human world, but I failed. Your father was nowhere to be found. I didn’t know his family, I didn’t know his name and I can’t ask your mother or it will raise suspicions.”

“But after you left the forest and miraculously turned into an elf, I don’t know how you did it, but I know that you are a special child. So after long thought about it, I decided to tell your mother. And that’s why I brought her here today.” The wizard finalized his explanation and the lady beside him removed the veil that was used to cover her face.

“Kevin, the child I named after his father. Is this really you?” The lady said.

As soon as Lexa and Lina saw the face of the lady, they suddenly paid their respects.

“Queen Evie, it’s a great privilege to meet you.” Lexa and Lina said at once.

“Thank you, fellow ladies, thanks for being there for my son. I thought I had lost him to the river but I’m more than happy to see that my son is alive and healthy. I’m sorry Kevin. I blame myself every day for letting go of your griping hands when you were a baby, I never meant to leave you but I had to... I-I don’t know what to do at that time. I was weak and unable to protect myself from being charmed by the sleeping spell. I’m sorry Kevin. I know what I did was unforgivable. I don’t deserve your forgiveness and I know that. But please find it in your heart to forgive me.” Evelyn begged amid tears.

Kevin stood up from his seat with tears in his eyes. This was the first time Lexa and Lina would see him cry.

“Why now? Why didn’t you tell her before now? You think I can just accept the fact that she’s my mother after all these years of knowing the truth?” Kevin said to the wizard.

“I’m sorry Kevin, I also feel this guilt within me that’s why I get angry anytime I see you sneak out of the forest to the mainland.” The wizard replied.

“Why wouldn’t you get angry? You know the truth and instead of saying it, you kept it to yourself. Do you know that there’s no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you? Don’t you ever talk to me again?” Kevin said before storming out of Lina’s office.

“Kevin Wait,” Lexa said as she ran after Kevin.
