I stare at my father dumbfounded for a couple seconds before thinking to my-self ' Ok something's up the hell dose me mean by truth!', my thoughts continue racing before dad starts talking. " Ira, do you remember the notebook your mother gave you on the dawn of the solstice?" He'd ask, as I nodded and pointed to my back. I watch him walk over and take it out starring at it for a second before sighing and saying "This is what I was worried about, there's a scratch on the seal...". "Seal? A seal to what?" I ask mildly concerned, "Your Shadow being when they told you something was off about your memories, well there's a... reason behind that" he replies solemnly ,as my eyes widen he hands me the note book the only scratch being one over the shoulder of the dragon. My patients wearing thin "Dad please get to the point" I snap a bit, "Well the emblem on this book happens to be sealing away certain... aspect's about you as-well as blocking certain memories". 'Huh?' "The fact that you had contact with your shadow alone shows that these aspects about you are growing to the point where the smallest of damage can release a good portion of whats locked awa-". "DO YOU PLAN TO EXPLAIN WHAT THESE ASPECTS ARE, WHY THEIR LOCK AWAY ,AND WHY YOU BROUGHT MOM'S NOTEBOOK INTO THIS?!?" I bark to his shock, he sighs before saying "You're not human Ira to answer your first question. For your second one, you saw your memories they're just incomplete, they were sealed in order to protect you from it happening again but apparently it didn't hold". "Ok so the heck do you mean by not human?" I ask concerned about the answer not even sure if I wanted to know, "Well... your a Ferix... and not only a Ferix but... a.. silver... dire". As he shrank back at every word that left his moth I felt my soul leave my body but as soon as it left it came back when a question popped into my head. "hold on then shouldn't I be an animal then? and why don't I always have the urge to kill, or those freaky dog of war abilities?!" "Because of the seal." he states matter of factly "... ok.. lets entertain the POSSIBILITY that im a ferix... even if there is any chance in the history of life that they were real... HAVEN'T THEY BEEN EXTINCT FOR 300 YEARS!?". A look of sorrow, regret and all around pain flooded his eyes as he looked away before it totally disperses as he turns to look at me with a voice barely a whisper telling me "When your mother was 7 months pregnant with you a group of people known for doing illegal research broke into our home when running from the cops, as a desperate attempt to escape they took your mother hostage and I was powerless to do anything to protect her. In the end they got away taking her with them." His breath hitched before he continued "After that you and your mother had gone missing for a month and a half until they cops managed to track you down, after running some test on your mother it had become evident that they performed a number of test and experiments surrounding Ferix DNA they somehow managed to obtain through un-known means and after a bit of questioning they found out they hadn't done anything to your mother, but to you finding you "compatable" with the DNA as evidence you being the only survivor of the test and when you were born the effects were evident.". I lay there on the couch in shock and pain trying to process this new development until I hear my-self say "And im guessing that those are part of the aspects that are sealed?" my father nods looking down at the ground "Why haven't you told until now" my voice cracked knowing i've been lied to my whole life. My dad crumples to his knees quietly sobbing, laying his forehead on the edge of the couch softly muttering 'im so so sorry'. I just pat his head with my hand, his head shooting up at the sudden contact looking at me, I cracked what I could of a smile trying to mask the aching numbness in my chest as I say "Its ok pa, I forgive you"...
