Daughters of the life keepers
Ciro's Heir
Previous ChapterCiro walked around the empty place of the forest where he and London given their heirs, he sighed and sat down by the alter. He hated himself for letting his daughter go, yet returning to her and to see what she became was making him proud, but he hated her not remembering. He heard foots steps and saw London's heir, Luna, walking towards him.
"If your looking for London, he's somewhere else." He felt her arms around him, he was shocked that she was hugging him. He didn't do anything nor say anything.
"It's alright Ciro, I get my father's ways now." His eyes widen, she remembered London? When? And how? They had only been here about one or two days and suddenly she remembers? "Don't worry."
"How can I not? M-My heir doesn't remember me at all, while London's does." He didn't look at her, not having the strength to, he felt her hands on his chin and his faces was lifted up to look at her.
"She will. Don't worry Ciro, she will." Ciro wanted to say something but Luna left, leaving Ciro behind and confused.
Ciro made his way over to the river that ran through the empty place and he put his hand in, he saw everything from start to finish of his life, at least he wouldn't die right? He couldn't, not unless the sun burned out. He was lucky to have something in his life to be proud of, but still....
"She won't remember, why would she?" Ciro said to himself, not knowing that London was watching him, "I'm not going to be remembered."
"And why would you think that Ciro?" Ciro's head turned to see London walking towards him. Ciro gave a weak smile to London and looked away. "Come on Ciro, cheer up."
"Why? You actually have an heir that remembers you. Unlike me." London felt more than bad for Ciro, instead of making him feel worst, London gave Ciro a hug. "London?"
"Ciro, give it time. Sure it wasn't as slow to remember me, but in time, she'll remember you." London walked away after saying that, he didn't turn around when Ciro's gaze hit him, but London knew how long it would take.
Ciro walked away until he heard voices, was it London and his heir? Ciro walked to where the voices were and saw his heir and London talking. Oh no. Oh no! London wasn't going say something stupid right to his daughter's face was he!? Ciro hid behind a tree and listened in on the talk between them.
"And you say he isn't why?" Oh come on! Why did London think now was a good time to talk about him being her father?! "I can recall a lot more things than you."
"I find that hard to believe, " Was his heir trying to make him feel bad? Because it was working. "He's not my father nor are you Luna's. We have the same father, and that's that."
"So...If you have the same father, then why do you two look so different than him?" Ciro's eyes widen, now that he thought about it, they didn't look like their human father, "Nor do you two look like your mother. You look like Ciro, while Luna looks like me. Minus the eye colors."
"...So he IS my father? And the father I grew up with, is a false father to me and Luna?"
"Yes."
Ciro heard the two leave and he looked at the direction they went. Did London do him a favour? No, no, he didn't. That wasn't like London at all. He would never do him a favour, unless it had a prank to it.
He wouldn't do anything that isn't meant to help me. He only believes that I should be do everything by myself. Ciro thought to himself, Besides, he has everything. A heir that actually remembers him, a loving daughter, everything I don't have. Well, anymore.
