Chapter 79: Meeting their father for the first time

It was just as they heard the footsteps of two beings walking on the bridge, that Selena suddenly ran and hid behind a bookshelf. The emotions coming to Xena and Alora from Selena were many and complicated. Although they wanted to go to Selena and comfort her, they were not given the time to. They could only turn back towards the bridge and watch as two large males entered their space through the dark mist.

They were both tall regale looking males. The taller one of the two males looked almost exactly like Selena. Only without the regalia and stars in the hair. His eyes were inner rings of violet with outer rings of silver. His skin and knee length hair were black as night. His body was broad, and his tightly packed muscle tone was in between lean and thick. His facial features were nearly identical to the male next to him.

The male next to the first one, although tall as well, stood two inches shorter at seven foot ten. His white–blond hair was waist length and bone straight. His dual–colored eyes were inner rings of white with outer rings of ruby red, the outer corner tilted up. He had elegant but strong male features, a high brow over a straight nose. High well–defined cheekbones and a full mouth. His body structure identical to the taller male. His skin was the same color as Alora’s.

It was very clear that they were their father, both his humanoid form and his Sprite. It was because they were here in a metaphysical space that they were able to appear side by side. Outside the metaphysical space in the physical world, they could only be visible in one or the other form. It was making for an interesting first meeting so far. Especially when you added in Selena hiding behind a bookshelf.

“Why are you hiding?” Alora asked Selena through their shared mind link.

“I don’t want them to see my scars.” Selena replied, tears in her voice.

“Oh…Selena.” Xena crooned, her voice full of caring and sorrow.

“They are our father…eventually he’ll have to know.” Alora told her sadly.

“I know. I just…I just need a moment. Just a moment.” Selena pleaded.

“Okay. You don’t need to force yourself now. Come out when you’re ready.” Alora said, understanding.

Once the two forms of their father stood in the black sand of the shore, they all studied

each other. Alora and Xena noted the silver marks on the Sprite form of their father. Many of them looked like the ones Selena carried.
