Forever Destined To The Silver Shadow

Celestia's POV:

I waited and waited for him to come back to me. But he didn't! What is he doing now? Where the hell is he now? Or maybe he hates me now for hurting him. That's why he left the room without even saying a word to me. 

But it is not my fault! I didn't know the entire truth about Theo and my father. And I still don't know about my father. Why is he against Theo if he is innocent? These questions kept on wrecking my brain while I was hopelessly waiting for Theo to come back to me. 

I sat down on the four-poster bed and thought about the one mistake I had made in both my lives. I blankly believed the words everyone said to me. Sometimes I even believed the words of Theo, and sometimes I doubted him. And most of the time, I sided with Father Oberon and hurt Theo. I was a confused damsel in distress! 

What I should have done is I could have tried to know the truth instead of believing the words of others. I should not make the same mistake again! I will have to know the entire truth once and for all! Only the truth will set me free!

...…..

I didn't know what made me go to the chamber of the Siren Queen at this time of the night. She must be sleeping now. She would get furious if I woke her up. But I could care less about that! I have spent two lives in confusion and chaos—and it is time that I know the entire truth!

Surprisingly, Cynthia was awake when I got in her chamber. She smiled a little when she saw me. I didn't have to say out in words to her about what I wanted. This gifted Siren knows what I want just by reading my mind. 

"So you are finally seeing the reality around me," she said. 

"Yes! But I still don't know about the Fae King. Why exactly is he evil? Why does he hate Theo?"

"Well," she sighed. "I can't say that to you. Even Theo won't say that to you because of the promise he made on his mother's grave."

"Then how am I supposed to know the truth?" I almost shouted out. "Living in oblivion is the worst!"

Cynthia fell silent, and I got furious and curious at the same time. Theo promised on his mother's grave?! But why?! Who could have made him do that?!

I wished that I could somehow get the mirror of candor in my hands now. Only that mirror can give me all the answers to my questions. But how can I get my hands on the mirror?! Cynthia wouldn't give it to me even if I asked her.

"I can give you that," Cynthia said immediately after I had that thought. "We all are edging towards the era of destruction now. So hiding the truth from you will yield no to any of us."

I was more shocked by her response than the words she said. She is actually helping me without being mean to me!

Cynthia turned her back to me and went to the closet. "I always looked out for you, Celestia. I tried hard to stop you from killing yourself—but you always sided with your father and wrecked my mind. And that is why I was mean to you," she said while taking out the gold-framed mirror from the closet.

I didn't know what to say. I wanted to defend myself that I was just a confused damsel in distress, but my attention got diverted when she gave me the mirror. It is not the time for an argument! This is the time to know the truth!

The mirror was so responsive to me. It showed the scenes of everything that I asked for. And whatever I saw in the mirror was too bizarre to believe. Is this the reality of the Fae King?! Did he really kill my parents just because they found out his truth?! He is a murderer!

What shook me the most was the fact that Theo's father is Oberon. How in the seven hells is this possible?! But when I realized everything that happened in the past, I assumed that it was the truth. And that is why Oberon hates Theo as he is the rightful King. And he used me to wash his sins?!

After that, it became too overwhelming for me to take in the truth. Perhaps this is why Theo didn't want me to know this. But without knowing this, I would have continued to live in oblivion. 

I handed over the mirror back to the Siren Queen as I felt like fainting. I don't want to break this precious mirror! I crumbled down to the floor and covered my face with my hands. I can't take this anymore. My whole life was a lie! Everyone purposely hid the truth from me for their own benefits and vows. 

It looks like no one cares about me at all! Everyone wants to fulfill their own goals and agendas. Oberon and Theo both used me like their pawns. I am trapped miserably in between the battle of a father and son. 

"Celestia," the Siren Queen shouted and made me stand up back to my feet. "Even after you see the truth, you are refusing to acknowledge the truth! How could you keep on accusing Theo?"

"But Theo is doing this for revenge!"

"No, he is doing this for you! Didn't you see that he fell in love with you even before you were born?"

My heart almost melted when I remembered that scene. He was so happy just to hear my heartbeat. 

"Exactly," Cynthia snapped. "Theo desires the throne! He does want to kill Oberon. But he wants and desires you more than that! He became an Angelic Demon, and he survived the abyss of torment just for you—"

My mind became so overwhelmed with the facts. How am I ever going to face Theo again?! He had been trying to rescue me from Oberon all this time. And I thought him to be the Villain of my life. 

The real Villain of my life is my imposter father, Oberon! I got so furious just by thinking about him. If only I had my Angelic powers, I would go to the Highland castle and kill him right now for all the crimes that he committed!
