All hell broke out when May screamed out “Hadrada!”

The drink she politely gave was now splattered across his face. Raising her hand he was about to pummel him with the empty mug, but fortunately, he jumped out the way making the wooden mug the only one splitting in two.

“Go away! Go away!!! Leave us cretin!!!”

I felt my entire legs and... And.. Even my soul tremble and numb over that shout as she threw the surviving handle at the man.

“May Trueblood you are over reacting!”

He shouted back as he wiped his face.

“Look! You're scaring Elfien!”

“I am no longer a Trueblood! And d-don't! Don't you dare speak my son's name!”

Her body quake as she raise another stool and it her eyes turned red, tears rolling out, and teeth baring at him.

“Get out! Get out! Arghh!”

She threw the stool and reached inside her pocket and threw the gold he gave.

“How dare you deceive us again! Are you not satisfied what you did to him!? You monster!!!”

Her voice was crackling and face turn to a mad rose. Tears began to rain down soon.

“May! It wasn't..gah!”

He then shook his head and placed his hands on his hips.

“Ok... Ok... I'm sorry, even if it was his choice...”

“His choice!!! He wouldn't be away from us if not your existence! Elfien wouldn't have to lose all his memory if not for you!!!”

With one hand she picked up a table and threw it to the old violet robed man. Which he caught with one hand and returned it down to floor gently.

He bowed his head a little and lowered his voice.

“If you want to blame it on me, I don't mind. But what I do mind is him and you stays here while this world is divided. I want both of you safe this time. That's why I came here today.”

“Elfien! Come here, come here, come here, dear.”

“Agh!”

Her hand felt like she was going to crush my shoulder as she moved me from behind her.

“Stay there.”

She said in sniffs and we slowly moved to the stairs while her eyes glued to him.

“May, don't do it.”

The old man lifted the table aside as he followed us.

“Stay back!”

May roared as she quicken to push me upstairs.

“Don't you dare lock him away like last time! Don't let Grandfather Bathal blessings waste for your over protectiveness again! That is not how a mother treats her son!”

It was he who know roared like a lion.

“It will be different this time! I've changed! I swear!”

She roared back with tears and tighter hold of me to accompany her.

“Oh, for the,”

He palmed his face.

“Just come with us. You and He is a Trueblood and if you dare remove his ident—”

“No!!!! No! No! No! No!!!!”

She let go of me as she covered her ears and collapsed.

“M-May!”

I clutched on to her as she covered her ears, wailed in agony and loud as a wounded animal.

“Hold her, she might...”

The old man then ran towards us.

“No!”

I quickly took a burning wood from the fire place and staved him back like a dog.

“L-leave, sir, Hadrada, or whatever your name is.”

This guy caught the table that may threw with just one hand. No wonder my hands were shaking.

“Elfien, please, let me just... ”

“No! I... Just... Please just leave us.”

May kept on saying no, no, and no, shaking her head as if she was a child. The only thing I could do for her is too pat her back.

“E-Elf... I'm sorry. ”

He said as he wore his hood back on. Hiding his face. Before, I knew it he left through the front, soon I heard a galloping.

I threw the burning wood back, then locked the door immediately after he left.

I tended to May after that. Tried to tell her he's gone, I received a tender hug after that. Her face a prune and regret as she pressed her fore on to my. Repeating the words:

“I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Please don't leave me again!”

I hugged her back dearly as she did to me. Pretending to be Elfien and forgiving her for the sin I never knew.
