39 Chapter 32

Tifa POV:

[I know you're confused but She's - Elizabeth, is your mother.] (Tania)

No Way..... That's impossible.

[Your highness..... Is that true.] (Me)

She didn't look at me. She only looked at the ground. Her silence only agreed with my question.

... I can't believe the person I've been searching for my entire life was with me from the start.

But what's this unexplainable anger?

[Why? Why Didn't you tell me?] (Me)

She took a deep breath.

[Tifa..... Listen to me. I know I kept my identity hidden. But I did it to protect you.] (Elizabeth)

lie.

[I didn't want you to go through what I had gone through.] (Elizabeth)

Lie.

[I... I wanted you to go through your life being what you wanted to be.] (Elizabeth)

LIE!!

[I... I didn't have a choice-] (Elizabeth)

[SHUT UP!!!] (Me)

Elizabeth was taken back from my outburst.

[YOU'RE JUST PROTECTING YOURSELF!!!] (ME)

Tears started to come out of my eyes.

[IF I WOULD'VE BEEN THERE WITH YOU THEN EVERYONE WOULD'VE CRITICISED YOU TOO RIGHT!?!] (Me)

[N-No] (Elizabeth)

[IF I WOULD'VE BEEN THERE THEN NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO YOU!!! THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF ISN'T IT!?!] (Me)

[N-No! Tifa get a hold of Yourself!] (Elizabeth)

[NO! YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE BULLIED FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE WHEN YOUR OWN WHOLE RACE DESPISE YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE LEFT ALONE IN THAT PLACE BECAUSE YOU WERE NEVER WITH ME!!] (Me)

I wiped away my tears.

[But you know what, you're right. You never wanted me, right? Is that also because I'm a half-elf, half-human?] (Me)

[N-No Tifa! Listen to me! It's not your fault!] (Elizabeth)

[No matter. *Sniff* you never wanted me before, why would you need me now? Here's my Dept.] (Me)

I threw my two silver shortsword and my Amber colored pin towards my "mother". These things were with me from the very start. She probably left it there for me.

Elizabeth realized what I was doing and her tears started to come out.

[W-Wait Tifa P-Please Don't.] (Elizabeth)

[Please never look for me anymore.] (Me)

I Ran off.

[WAIT TIFA!] (Elizabeth)

I looked back one last time. My tears made it hazy to look.

Evan POV:

Okay, I learned a lot from Mia.

We were returning back to the mansion from the forest.

Mia was happily bringing a basket filled to the brim with flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Oh yea, the basket was weaved by Mia herself on the spot by using some Vines and some pieces of wood.

Most of the things are from the original world only the flowers are different.....maybe? I wasn't a fricken botanist there, I have no clue about any of these flowers.

[Thank you big brother for all your Help!] (Mia)

[Your awfully happy.] (Me)

[Because it's been a while since we hung together.] (Mia)

Huh, makes sense?

I pat her head.

[Well I'm glad you had fun Mia.] (Me)

[Hehe.] (Mia)

I have to make sure Mia stays happy. She did lose her parents. I mean there's nothing more devastating than losing your parents.

[We better go home fast. Those are rain clouds coming here.] (Mia)

[I don't think that would matter anymore.] (Me)

[What?] (Mia)

I pointed upwards and a droplet of water fell on Mia's nose.

[Th-Then We better hurry! O-Otherwise We'll Get Soaked and get a Cold!] (Mia)

I chuckled a little bit.

[Okay Mia, you taught me a lot right? Now let me teach you something. And don't worry about getting sick we have Emma at our house.] (Me)

She hesitated for a second before nodding.

[Okay, give me the basket for a second.] (Me)

She nodded and handed me the basket.

Okay, it started to slowly rain for now.

[Okay Mia I want you to close your eyes now and feel like your linked with nature.] (Me)

This was my favorite thing to do whenever it rained on Earth.

[Link myself with.... Nature?] (Mia)

[Try to imagine like it. It's really satisfying-]

*Would you like to teach Mia "Gaia Sentiment"?*

How can I teach something which I don't know about?

Well sure, yes I wanna teach.

*Error! the player does not know "Gaia Sentiment"*

Well, of course, that would have happened.

[Hold on Mia, give me a second.] (Me)

[Alright.] (Mia)

The rain was falling steadily. I nodded at the atmosphere and closed my eyes.

I hear the rainfall on the tree leaves.

*Pitter* *Patter* *Pitter* *Patter*

I hear some of the birds chirping in the background.

I also hear some ducks.

The rain falls on me but there's no pain. Only a small sensation.

The smell of leaves, water and the sensation of the wind hitting me.

I started feeling like I could see my surroundings, even with my eyes closed.

As if time stopped and there were hundreds of water droplets around me floating in mid-air.

Some were bouncing off of tree leaves. Some birds were soaring through the transparent balls.

I love it.

And then I opened my eyes. Everything went back to normal.

The rain to make it's old pitter patter sound again.

All of that from a few seconds of my life.

I can get hooked to this easily.

*Skill unlocked: Gaia Sentiment*

Gaia Sentiment:

Can be used to link with nature. Increases Max Mana and Mana Regen.

Duration: 10 min

Cool down: instant

Holy Shit! I just got an Over Powered Skill!

[Big brother?] (Mia)

Mia was soaked right now. I was too.

Alright.

System! Teach Mia Gaia Sentiment!

*Please place your hand on "Mia" head.*

My hand?

Mia was looking at me with curiousness.

I patted her head.

She closed her eyes.

*Teaching: 0%*

*Teaching: 48%*

*Teaching: 90%*

*Teaching: 100%*

*Teaching complete!*

After a few seconds, it was complete.

Mia opened her eyes.

She looked confused.

[Alright mia. Do what I told you to do.] (Me)

[Ah, Yes!] (Mia)

Looks like she knows what to do now.

After a few seconds in the rain, she opened her eyes.

[That felt Really Good!] (Mia)

Well, as long as she's happy.

[And for some reason I feel really rejuvenated.] (Mia)

We started walking again.

[Oh yeah, I forgot to mention but doing that will increase your Max Mana limit and also increase your Mana regeneration.] (Me)

[Really!?! That's Amazing!!] (Mia)

And just like that, we kept talking on our way back home.

* a few minutes later*

I came back home.

[Alright. Thank you, Big brother! I'll go and do the cooking now.] (Mia)

[Dry yourself first.] (Me)

She went straight to the kitchen.

It's nice to hang out with my family once in a while.

I was about to go outside now and search for Tifa at the Elf kingdom but I saw Tania coming downstairs.

[Umm Master Evan. There's a slight problem.] (Tania)

[Problem?] (Me)

[Yes, umm, I think it's better if I show you.] (Tania)

[Show me?] (Me)

What in the hell have you done Tania?

..........

Tifa POV:

I ran and ran through the branches of the endless sea of trees.

It's raining heavily and I was also crying hard.

I can't believe that I suffered all that time while my mother watched from the sidelines.

And to protect herself, she denied my existence.

I jumped on another branch but lost my footing and fell down on the ground.

The impact took away my breath and I rolled forward a bit.

I layed down there for I don't know how long. I Just cried silently.

I'm not returning back to the kingdom.

I have no other home.

Everybody thinks that I'm a menace.

[Tifa?!?] (Sarah)

I heard a familiar voice.

[Tifa what happened to You!?!] (Sarah)

[Sarah.] (Me)

I hugged her and couldn't control my tears.

I cried for some time.

[Who Did This To You!? Was It Evan!? I Swear I'm Gonna kill Him Someday!] (Sarah)

I shook my head

[No.... I-I found out that my mother was Queen Elizabeth. Can you believe it? The person I've been trying to search for my whole life was with me all the time. Watching me as I suffered more and more.] (Me)

[O-Oh. U-Um, Y-Yea that was horrible. L-Lets go talk to the Queen and let's see what happened r-right?] (Sarah)

For some reason, Sarah got really scared.

...Could it be?

[Sarah.....] (Me)

[Y-Yea what is it?] (Sarah)

[Did you know about this?] (Me)

She was taken back by my comment.

She was really scared now.

[N-No. W-What are you T-Talking about?] (Sarah)

I can see the hesitation in her eyes.

[Why? After all this time... Were we not friends?] (Me)

[T-Tifa listen to me. Whatever I have done up till now was to protect you.] (Sarah)

I need to calm down. My anger is taking over me again.

[Y-You can ask the Q-Queen rest. You just need to calm down and lis-] (Sarah)

My hand moved on its own and I slapped Sarah so hard she fell down.

I heard a lightning strike in the distance.

There was a visible red handprint on her face.

I was surprised myself to slap her.

[T-Tifa.] (Sarah)

Her voice was cracked. Tears almost came out of her eyes.

[P-Please! NEVER LOOK FOR ME!] (Me)

I ran off with tears in my eyes as I heard Sarah calling for me.
