Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silvia May
She smiled, looking toward him. "You are a kind man. Thank you. Yes, he is quite a conversation starter..." She chuckled lightly, thinking herself silly for acting like that. She nodded, agreeing with him. "You are right, I'm sorry Marcus. I'm just not acting myself today." She said, taking a deep breath.

She looked to him, hearing him talk about her mother. She stopped, thinking about her."I have never seen what she does to be for my well being, she lies to people, and it is because of that, that we're looked down on..." She said, looking to the clouds. "It looks like rain, we should head inside... And I agree with you on that, I do not wish to marry someone I do not love, let alone have just met..." She said, smiling to him and standing up. "Come, let's get something to eat, my parents will probably be waiting to see us anyway." She said, waiting for him to go inside.

Silvia lead Marcus through the house to the dining area, calling a butler over for them. "Thank you, Marcus. It's not much, but I love it..." She said, smiling warmly. She thought him very handsome herself, looking perfectly in place with his hands behind him. "What would you like to eat? I'm in the mood for pasta, myself." She asked, looking towards the butler who stood waiting for an order. "Yes, I think I'll have some angel hair with alfredo sauce." She said, and the butler nodded, waiting for Marcus' request.

She looked towards Marcus, and saw his scar. She looked at it carefully. "I never noticed it in the garden.... But, where did you get your scar, if you don't mind me asking...." She asked, looking at him questioningly.

The butler nodded, walking off to the kitchen to have their food prepared for them. She nodded. "War is such a tragic thing. I don't think anyone wins with war. Everyone loses something..." She said, her hand reaching up and touching the scar unconsciously.

She pulled her hand away slowly, looking to him. "I hope that this is the only memory you have that is painful is any way.... So many good men lose their lives in wars, it's terrible..." She said, sitting down and folding her hands on the table. She hated war, it was bloody and cruel, even if it was necessary for some things.

Silvia nodded, smiling back at him. "You're right, we should change the subject." She said. He had such a handsome smile. "I would hate for you to lose such a handsome smile as well. It suits you perfectly..." She said, chuckling lightly.

Soon, the butler returned with their food. She thanked him as he sat the plates down in front of them "Would you care for something to drink?" He asked, and Silvia smiled. "I'll have some water, please." She turned to look at Marcus. "I had the same thoughts, actually. I expected some unsightly man who would only want me as a means of making my family's reputation better...." She said, giggling more. "I'm glad I was wrong, you are a very nice person..." She said, picking up her utensils and eating, being careful not to make a mess with the sauce.

Silvia munched on her pasta as she listened to him. "It would be an honor to be there, I would love to go." She said, smiling and wiping her mouth off before taking a sip of her water. She thought about the marriage. It might not be a bad thing, but she still did not want it if she was not in love. "Well, I don't know how to get out of it now, but if things don't turn around for the better we still have a year to think of a way." She said, chuckling as she sat there.

She smiled, nodding at him. She chuckled lightly. "Yes, that would be most unfortunate." She said, and continued to eat her pasta.

When they finished and he started for his departure, she walked him to his ride and smiled warmly. "And It was a pleasure meeting you as well. I will give them your farewell. And I will see you next week." She said, blushing when he kissed her. She waited until he left then she walked back inside, finding her parents in the study. "Marcus just left, but he wished for me to tell you both farewell. I'll be going to his kingdom next week to spend some more time with him." She said, smiling at them. It wasn't that bad of a day. Her parents smiled and started talking with her about him.

After dinner she spent time in the garden, singing lightly. Her mother came out and sat down next to her, trying to spend some time with her daughter. "I'm sorry you think so ill of me, Silvia. You know I love you very much." She said, and as Silvia finished her song, she looked to her mother. What Marcus had said filled her head, and she nodded. She tried to get along with her mother, and started talking to her about what she had done, all the lies she told. Her mother had not been proud of the lies, but she claimed they were done to help the family. Silvia listened, not liking the story her mother told. "You are my mother, and though I do not love you fully, I do not condone what you have done.... I don't see any reason to do such a thing..." she reasoned, and the talk continued on well into the night.

Silvia smiled, she had become closer to her mother after talking to her. It had grown very cold out in the garden, so she and her mother walked inside to her bedroom. Silvia sat on the middle of the bed, while her mother sat on the edge. "Mother, do you remember the lullaby you would sing to me as a child? Would you sing it with me?" She asked, feeling childish but wanting to all the same. Her mother nodded and sat more comfortably. Silvia had gotten her voice from her mother, so her mother was very skilled. She started to sing lightly, but soon their voices carried through the house.

Silvia smiled as she sang with her mother, it was like her old, true mother was back. When the song finished she curled into her mother's arms, hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry mother. I should have listened to you before today, I was foolish and stuck up."
"Hush child, it is alright. You are only just becoming an adult, mistakes happen."

Slivia shot up, staring at the assassin that stood in her room. She looked at her mother. "So you truly did do evil things...." She whispered. She just got her mother back, she was listening to what Marcus told her. She was shaking, but when she looked at the assassin talking to her mother, she noticed the scar. It was faint, but there. That scar... She thought, she saw it before. Marcus had one from the war he was in. She didn't say anything, but moved away from her mother, looking at them both. Silvia's mother sat straight. "I regret nothing that I have done." She said, though Silvia could see her mother shaking with fear. She was the one who feared the man the most out of the family. Silvia shook her head, confused at her mother. "I love you mother....I hate your actions, but today showed me that you aren't who I thought you were...." She said, saying goodbye to her mother, she knew that no one the assassin met with lived.

Her mother stood up, walking towards the man. "I know where this is going.... so I will not regret this either..." She said, before slapping the man, even if it did no good with the mask on. She then stood, waiting for her death. She could die easily now that she had talked to her daughter. "I hope Marcus is a good man for you Silvia, tell him I said to behave with my daughter or I will haunt him from my grave..." She said, and closed her eyes, shaking uncontrollably. Silvia could only stare at her mother, then at the scar that was visible. Marcus....
