~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae\'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 12:30 PM)~~~
Every living thing within 500 miles is notified of my existence as my Divine Title has that annoying effect. If I had a choice, that wouldn\'t exist. But I can\'t control that part of my Divine Title. Guards rush from all doors around the throne room.
But they all stop seeing the Divine Title above my head. As the guards stop, other Dark Elves start entering the throne room too. But I can tell by their clothes and general attitude they\'re Jaeemara\'s siblings.
My eyes lock with Eldinemara\'s, and I can see out of everything that he could\'ve expected. Jaeemara getting my help wasn\'t on the list of possibilities. I gently fold my wings and start to circle Eldinemara. But that doesn\'t keep him from turning with my movement.
"I bet you\'re wondering why someone like me is here... You see, Jaeemara has been a kind and generous friend since my girlfriend and I arrived in Armezix. She has a wonderful family at her home. Don\'t you agree?"
My casual tone has a menacing underline to it, and no one knows what to do. The guards are too scared to step forward, and the siblings of Jaeemara have varying expressions.
"Imagine my surprise when I found out that Jaeemara has been threatened by her own Father... Personally, that bothers me... So much so that normally I\'d kill you for it..."
Those words cause even Jaeemara to start getting nervous. She\'s about to speak up, but Sally holds her in support and nods her head. Showing that she should trust me.
"Now tell me. For what reasons other than personal pride and preference would you try and tear apart the wonderful family that helped Saliandra and me? What gives you the power to control her life like this? Are you a God?"
My slow pace around him eventually comes to an end as I stand in front of Sally and Jaeemara. Eldinemara swallows hard and tries to recompose himself. Fixing his regal-looking clothes and clearing his throat.
After a couple of seconds of silence, another person enters the throne room, and this person is almost a perfect copy of Jaeemara. That must be her Mother. Daella.
"What\'s going on in he-..."
Her eyes slowly widen as she locks her sights on my Divine Title and my Golden Wings furled up behind my back. She slowly looks to see Jaeemara behind me, and she\'s putting the pieces together in her head.
"Oh, it\'s so nice to meet you, Daella. Jaeemara spoke about you quite a bit. It\'s nice to know someone in her family supported her choice to marry Pazemad."
At this point, I\'m the only one talking. Daella\'s eyes shift to her husband, and there is almost a mental conversation going on between the two of them.
She makes her way over and stands next to her husband, giving him her support. Something that I respect, but never the less won\'t matter in the end. After I\'m done here, Jaeemara and her family will be free from Eldinemara\'s interference.
I\'m still looking at Eldinemara for an answer, and he takes a breath to do so.
Such arrogance. I love tearing down people from such high towers.
"My, what a tall ivory tower you live on. Or should I say marble and gold? I don\'t think you understand what\'s going on here, Eldinemara. This isn\'t a discussion. You\'re going to leave Jaeemara alone. And her family."
He takes a sharp inhale of breath. This is killing his pride, but what\'s he going to do? Order my death?
"I\'m sorry, Angel Zern. But I can\'t do that."
Stubborn men are such trouble to deal with.
"Are you prepared for the consequences? My grandfather will see that everything you have here will be turned to dirt in the wind. Your reputation, your wealth, your power. All of it will disappear in the blink of an eye. Is that something you are willing to risk?"
It\'s a slow and drawn-out explanation and one that has the desired effect. Fear is spreading in the man. And it\'s doing so fast.
Jaeemara steps forward from behind and stands in front of me. Looking at her Father. I can see the pain and betrayal in the man\'s eyes. But this is something he brought on himself. There were other options. Peaceful support he could\'ve given.
Instead, he chose to believe he knew what was best for his Daughter. Look at where this has gotten him.
"Daddy... I want you to know that I love you... But I\'m prepared to let Angel Zern do whatever it is he deems necessary to free Pazemad and me from your plans... It hurts so much that it\'s come to this... But I need to protect my family..."
Utter defeat spreads on the man\'s face, and I can understand why. His Daughter just gave permission for his execution if I want to do it. Daella steps forward and wraps her Daughter in a hug.
"I\'m so proud of you, honey bee... I want you to know that I\'ll always love you too... I\'m sorry that I couldn\'t bring Dad over to our side about this, but that doesn\'t matter now... What happens next is his choice..."
They both look at Eldinemara and wait for his decision.
He looks at me, and I see a humbled man now.
"Who do you mean by your grandfather... Is it..."
Before he can continue, I nod my head a single time.
"Jaeemara... I thought I had this won from the very beginning... But I never would\'ve expected you to bring a literal God to fight for your side... There isn\'t anything I can do anymore, is there... I\'ve lost you to some low-born scum."
Before Jaeemara can lash out in anger at the insult to Pazemad, I do so for her and grab the man by his neck and lift him off the ground. Straightening out my wings and bringing one to the edge of his throat. Barely drawing blood from the sharpness of the wings.
Everyone in the room is frozen and waiting for what happens next. I bring the man\'s face close to mine while keeping the tip of my wing against his neck.
"You will not or ever speak that way of Pazemad ever again. He\'s a great man and an even better Father. You couldn\'t compare to him, given 100,000 years to do so."
He\'s choking to get words out, but I drop him, and he hits the ground, coughing for air. Sally comes up behind me and around my wing to stand next to me. Placing her hand on my chest to stop me from doing anything else.
Daella looks up at me with a look that says everything when people meet me. Disbelief. They expect a caring and benevolent Angel. But what they get is the fury of my human half. A fact everyone seems to overlook.
My half-human side. The side that allows me to do all of this. If I were a full-blooded Angel, I wouldn\'t be allowed to harm a soul. But that rule doesn\'t exist for me.
"Those wings shouldn\'t belong to you... You\'re not an Angel... Not when you act like this..."
Her words have no effect on me, and that further disturbs her for some reason. Jaeemara helps her Father up along with her Mother. And they both look like they\'ve lost something today.
"I\'ll take the resounding silence coming from you that you\'ve agreed to leave Jaeemara and her family alone from now on."
Eldinemara slowly nods his head and tries to regain some pride.
"This is your only warning. If I hear Jaeemara is being bothered by you or anyone associated with you. I\'ll come back, and I\'ll tear down everything you\'ve built with my own two hands."
The message is clear, and that solves Jaeemara\'s problems.
