An Heir Comes To Rise

"You're useless, so why would I be with you!…it's over, I'm getting married to someone else!" Arthur's wife said. — Everyone looks down on Arthur stark.

Spain – isang tahimik na parke. Isang araw na dapat ay tulad ng iba, ngunit isang pamilyar na presensya ang yumanig sa mundo ko. "Mommy!" Napalingon ako sa sigaw ni Selene, mabilis na tumatakbo palapit sa akin. Kasunod niya si Cassian, mahigpit na nakahawak sa kamay ng isang matangkad na lalaki. Isang lalaki na hindi ko kailanman inakalang muli kong makikita. Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko. Hindi maaari. Dahan-dahan siyang lumuhod, bahagyang tinatapik ang ulo ni Cassian bago bumaling sa akin. "They got lost," malamig ngunit malalim ang tono niya. "I figured their mother would be worried." Napalunok ako, hindi makapagsalita. Alam kong nakita niya. Alam kong ramdam niya. "You…" bulong ko, halos hindi lumalabas ang boses ko. Ngunit bago pa ako makakilos, isang mas mabigat na presensya ang lumunod sa paligid. "Seraphina!" Napapitlag ako nang marinig ang boses ng taong matagal ko nang tinakasan. Si Daddy kasama si Mommy… at si Victor Alaric Vasquez. Malamig ang titig ni Daddy nang mapadako ang tingin niya sa kambal. "Who are these children?" malamig niyang tanong. Bago pa ako makasagot, isang malakas na tinig ang pumuno sa hangin. "They're mine." Napalingon ako sa kanya sa lalaking minsan ko lang nakilala ngunit ngayo'y handang ipaglaban ako.
