After he left the room, she didn't have to wait very long . He barely had time to make it down stairs before she shadows began to s.h.i.+ft and a portal opened . Out of it, walked the King of Shadows, his overall expression quite grim .
"Kyera Mei Shade of the Moon, DemiG.o.ddess of Fate, daughter of the Shadow Crown . . . EXPLAIN . " between the word, her full name, with the added formality of her complete t.i.tle Kyera got the idea he might be angry . At least a little, granted his expression looked as though his eyes were going to bypa.s.s extracting her soul and just incinerate her here and now . She was kinda glad he couldn't do that in the human world .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Father, I did what…" She began, but a shadow b.u.t.ton appeared over her lips and seemed go seal them .
"If you dare say you did what you had to do, I will personally rip my hair out, then use strands to weave you a leash . " he growled and Kyera did her best to appear innocent, and even ventured at wronged . It would have been convincing too… if he didn't know his daughter as well as he did . He waved his hand, shot her a warning glare as the b.u.t.ton disappeared .
"I was going to say I did what I believed was best . " Kyera replied, changing her sentence, well aware of the boundaries . He frowned, the anger in his eyes seemed to smolder down to nothing . It was replaced by a face void of emotion, except his eyes . Those deep black orbs were filled to the brim with sadness . It was a mixture of heartbreak and… disappointment . It took her a long moment to recognize that look and she suddenly felt ashamed .
"Kyera… my daughter… my little girl believed that it was better to allow a man to impale her heart with a blade" his fingers gently touched the blanket over the damage . "Than call to her father for help? I know you've been alone on earth for so long but… you are my baby girl . " He replied and Kyera's heart dropped .
She didn't know what to say . What could she say? It was true, she had thought to die rather than call upon her father's aid . "Father, I didn't… I didn't think to . The veil normally doesn't allow for your help except in emergency . " she tried to explain . He sighed folding his arms .
"Then I failed you as a father if you don't realize your death is an emergency, Kyera . " He replied, voice barely above a whisper .
"That . . . let's be honest death is inevitable . I will someday die and come home to you . In time, Clovis and Raina will join me when they have lived their lives . At least I would die for a reason and not a p.a.w.n in some court game, or murdered by the dark . " she pointed out, completely unaware of the presence in the doorway .
"If that was true, why were you relieved when I saved you from that fall?" The Shadow King tried to counter her, he wanted her to see the light .
"Because I hadn't ensured that Clovis and Raina would have a chance to live their lives to the fullest . " she replied, rather patiently . To his surprise, he was thrown off by her words . For being one to protect life around her… she seemed to have understanding of the worth of her own .
"Kyera, what gives Raina and I more of a right to live our lives to the fullest than you? Why do you see yourself as being inferior to us?" Clovis asked and Kyera turned to look at him . Her expression blank as she saw the look on his face .
