The Truth

Another question banged her head once again, "Who I'm I?"

She stared in air in disbelief, she vigorously shook her head in denial. Valen knew reality was already bitter to accept but what could he do. Anyone would be terrified perhaps if she was told they were illusions, she would accept at least since she had experienced them a couple of times. 

As she struggled to differentiate reality from illusion, she felt an arm land on her shoulder. She grasped reality and blinked a couple of times. She parted her lips to speak but nothing came out. 

Valen smiled bitterly as though he could feel her pain and as if it was more of betrayal, maybe? He gently patted Zyda's forehead with his index finger. Zyda felt a strange power flow into her mind and for a moment she calmed down.
