Book 3.5: Chapter 14
“Mommy… Mommy, where are you going…?” Troy stood at the door and looked at Vyvyan who was inside, holding onto the red cape. He woke up in the middle of the night due to his special senses as a child. When he noticed that his mom wasn’t by his side, he came here guided his instincts.
Vyvyan turned her head around to look at her son. She smiled and opened her arms. Troy jogged over and hugged his mom tightly. Vyvyan held her son in her arms tightly. She didn’t speak, just wearing a peaceful smile on her face while Troy sobbed gently as he hugged his mom tightly.
He didn’t feel warmth from hugging her. Instead, he felt the ice cold feeling of metal and smell the scent of grass. His mom wasn’t wearing the dress she usually wore. She was dressed in battle armour and wore the elf king cape that was worn when heading out to the battlefield.
Vyvyan gently reached her hand out to stroke her child’s head and softly said: “Son, mommy’s son, don’t cry. Mommy… mommy needs to make a trip outside. Mommy will play with you when mommy returns, okay?”
“Mommy… Mommy… I don’t want you to leave… Please don’t leave me… I’ll miss you mommy…….”
“Silly child, mommy won’t leave you. Mommy is going to do something so that mommy will be able to stay by your side forever. Mommy will return to you as soon as mommy is done. Just this once. Mommy promises, it’s just this once. Once mommy has finished up, mommy will definitely return to you, and never leave again.”
Vyvyan sniffled as she embraced her child. She then let go and cupped Troy’s face. She wore a smile as she wiped the tears on his face and then said: “Mommy will never leave you, son. You will always be my most beloved son. Mommy will definitely come back. Mommy will definitely stay by your side always.”
“Mommy… mommy… mommy! I want to stay by mommy’s side forever too.” Troy leaned into her and hugged her tightly. Vyvyan froze up for a moment and sobbed before returning Troy’s hug. Her tears ran down her face and dropped onto her son’s body. She hugged her son tightly, feeling the warmth from his body and smelling the scent on his body.
Every step she took, took her further and further away from her child. But with every step that she took, her child became safer.
