Conversation Between Father and Son 2

"Have we met before? Why do I feel so familiar with you?"

Once that question left his mouth, Aldrey looked at Aldrian's reaction. He focused on those unreadable blue eyes. Aldrian didn't show much expression aside from a smile, leaving Aldrey uncertain of what he was thinking. A person like this was dangerous to face as an opponent because nothing could be discerned from that face.

Aldrian also looked into his father's eyes, thinking of a thousand ways to answer the question. He could lie to his father, or he could be honest and simply admit that he was Aldrian. After considering for a moment, he decided there was no harm in revealing himself now. Sooner or later, his father would find out anyway.

He felt it was the right time for his father to know that his son had already left the secret realm and made his mark on the continent. The son he had trained for so long had grown into someone capable of bearing the burden of their family's challenges.
