692 The Truth Part 2 (1/2)
”Ha, lovely story and manipulation of the truth. You dare lie to Crystalsa and claim you waited till he broke off with you to mate with his brother?” Lilith spat trying to take control of the situation.
”Bryson and I had feelings for each other from the very start, it's true. However we avoided ever being alone together for that reason. It wasn't until I was cast from the house that Bryson and I gave up the fight.” Fantasy replied her eyes met Crystalsa's. ”I would never break your heart like that, Mother. You knew that, Lilith, that's why you had me killed.” The older woman saw the sincerity in her eyes and nodded. Old shaky hands raised to wipe the tears, but Fantasy did it for her.
”You have no proof.” Lilith spat back and Fantasy turned to her.
”Into your hands, I commit my Fate.” Fantasy replied and the Lady Raven walked forward to stand before Lilith.
”You plotted against my daughter, you murdered her son, a son who has lived a very different life and was reborn into this world again, to the family he never should have left. You sentenced him to a life of war, bloodshed and evil all because of your greed. If you need poof…” The Raven took a feather and gashed across Lilith's arm, and a golden light deflected the quil. Then silence fell. The Raven let go of her arm and took a step back disgusted. Silence settled across the room.
Fantasy walked forward, now that it was over and faced her. The Lady Raven stepped back, giving her room to face Lilith. ”Lilly… you were my dearest friend, and the start of the betrayals. I wish I could forgive you, but my heart is not that generous.”
”I don't need forgiveness for following a higher calling, especially not from something as low as you.” Lilith replied and Crystalsa stared at her.
”The Goddess of Fate has been called and judged by the Old Ones and been found masquerading as fate when in truth, she is the Goddess of Deception, the temptress. Any who worship her, shall be cast from my lands and banned among my people. The challengers, in her service, committed murder shall never have peace in Moria.” The Shadow King stood at his sister's side as he spoke. The Raven nodded her head in agreement, setting her hand on Fantasy's shoulder.
”Your will be done, My Lord of Shadows but, I beg of you, what of my grandchildren?” Crystalsa asked, her mind on her two granddaughters. She feared what could befall of them outside these walls.
”Children may not suffer the sins of the Mother, Crystalsa. I told you this once before.” He reminded her and she nodded slowly.
”Agreed. Fantasy… I am so sorry.” Crystalsa addressed her with tears and Fantasy replied with a smile.
”I would give anything to have you back with us.” Crystalsa whispered and Fantasy sighed.
”Mother, you know that just isn't possible. I will return to the Raven's Roost soon…” Fantasy whispered into her ear. Crystalsa nodded and let go, wiping her eyes slowly.
