In the large family living room, Ada was lying on the sofa, not having the courage to return to her room, overcome by strong anxiety, after what she had seen during the night, she did not know if it was her . imagination or truth, what to do, her great-grandfather had told her for the first time about a mysterious woman, and that she bore his name, lost in these thoughts she did not realize that her family was awake.
-Ada, what are you doing here at this hour? you couldn't sleep? she jumped at the sound of the voice of Yeris, her brother.
-Ahh… Yeris that… don't worry, I managed to sleep, I just woke up a little earlier than usual. Yeris was his big brother,
-He misses you? He didn't put pressure on me, you were the only one he accepted near him and I wonder why?!
-Hmm, replied Ada.
-By the way, Father wanted to see you, he is in grandmother's garden, and grandfather is with him. You tell me what they told you, I'm going to lunch, he was already at the entrance to the living room door when he shouted, I'll keep your share!
Ada couldn't focus on her brother's conversation with her, just the words 'miss you' took her back to last night's scenes.
She therefore decided to go to the garden where the two heads of the family were waiting for her.
...….
The DoeFuera family was one of the ancient families of the Bohania Empire, a mystical kingdom where magic blends with the grandeur of a vast empire. It is a land teeming with enchanted forests, towering mountains, and sprawling cities adorned with intricate architecture that reflects the empire's rich history.
Magic courses through the veins of Bohania, permeating every aspect of its society. Here, witchcraft and enchantments are not only real, but also revered and studied as essential parts of daily life. The empire is home to talented mages, who harness elemental forces and arcane arts to shape reality to their will.
At the heart of Bohania lies the Imperial Capital, a bustling metropolis, vibrant with energy and vibrant magic. The city's streets are lined with markets where merchants trade rare spell components, enchanted artifacts, and tomes of mystical knowledge.
Ada's great-grandfather, a visionary inventor, played a central role in the empire's expansion. His contributions pushed the boundaries of magical innovation, introducing revolutionary inventions that improved the lives of the citizens of Bohania. His creations bridged the gap between traditional witchcraft and technological advancements, earning him a revered status among inventors and wizards.
Throughout the empire, imposing academies of magic serve as beacons of knowledge and learning. Here, aspiring mages hone their craft, delving into ancient tomes, unlocking the secrets of forgotten spells, and mastering their innate magical abilities. Academies serve as centers of innovation, propelling Bohania's magical prowess to new heights.
Everyone who lived inside or outside the empire knew his story, his great-grandfather, who had brought their family to this greatness, was no more. From where she was passing, the view of the garden appeared to her, this small garden that her great-grandmother had created, an idyllic little garden as a haven of peace for the whole family. It's a cozy space with a well-kept lawn and a rustic wooden bench under a tree providing shade. Colorful flowers, fragrant herbs and fresh vegetables thrive in the garden. Children can enjoy a wooden swing and a bubbling fountain. The garden is alive with the song of birds and the gentle buzzing of bees. Personalized touches like stepping stones and wind chimes add sentimental value. It is a sanctuary where the family finds warmth, tranquility and connection, creating lasting memories.
Two silhouettes stood out in the small space, they stared at the young woman who arrived in front of them. Ada's grandfather has a stoic attitude, his face etched with firmness and severity. His strong features convey a sense of unwavering resolve and determination. Lines of experience and alteration mark her face, evidence of a life lived with purpose and resilience.
Despite the severity projected by his face, there is a striking contradiction in the gentle look he holds in his eyes. Deep in his eyes, we can glimpse a source of kindness and compassion. His eyes speak volumes, revealing a deep understanding of the human condition and a capacity for empathy that transcends his outward appearance.
Ada's father has a gentle, gentle face that contrasts with a stern, intense look. Her face exudes an inherent warmth, with features that exude approachability and kindness. There is a natural ease in his expression, as if he carries the weight of the world with grace.
Despite the gentleness of his face, there is a seriousness and intensity in his gaze that demands attention. His gaze is unwavering, commanding respect and displaying a depth of reflection and contemplation. There is a sense of determination and determination that emanates from his penetrating gaze, revealing a man who approaches life with purpose and unwavering focus.
In moments of deep concentration or when faced with challenges, Ada's father's face takes on a more stern look, reflecting his unwavering dedication and commitment to his activities. The lines on his forehead can deepen and his jaw tightens with determination, emphasizing his resolute nature.
These two men were a great pillar for their families; they perpetuate the exploits of their fathers, a source of inspiration for the new generation of the family as well as for others.
Ada returned to the terrace where the two men were sitting.
Those who were going to speak here will become a great turning point in the history of Bohania.
Grandfather: Ada, my child, we need to talk about your future. Please join your father and me.
Ada: What's the matter, grandfather? I am still in shock from the loss of our great-grandfather. Can't this wait?
Father: Ada, we understand your grief, but we need to discuss an important topic. It's time for you to leave the main house and pursue your own path in Draphil.
Ada: Leave? But father, grandfather, I can't bear the thought of leaving now. Our family is going through a very difficult time and my sister is about to get married. I have to be there for her.
Grandfather: Ada, my dear, we understand your desire to be with your sister on this momentous occasion. However, we believe that leaving the main house is necessary for your growth and development.
Ada: Necessary? For what? What concrete reason do you have for firing me? I don't understand why I can't pursue my dreams while staying here with my family.
Father: Ada, we have our reasons, but they may not be clear to you at the moment. Trust us when we say it's what's best for you and our family's legacy.
Ada: How can I do better for myself when my heart is breaking at the thought of leaving everything behind? I want to be here, with my loved ones, to support them during this difficult time. Why can't you see that?
Grandfather: Ada, sometimes in life we are faced with difficult choices. We may not always understand them at first, but they are created with the intention of helping us grow and flourish. Your dreams and aspirations deserve the chance to be nurtured and pursued.
Ada: But what about family ties? What about the strength and support we find in each other? Isn't that more important than anything else?
Father: Ada, we understand your point of view, but we also believe that pursuing your dreams will ultimately enrich our family. It is a sacrifice that we must all make for the common good.
Ada: Sacrifices? Is my happiness and well-being just a simple sacrifice for you? I thought family was about love and support, not tearing each other apart!
Grandfather: Ada, please understand that this decision is made with the greatest love and concern for your future. We want you to have every opportunity to shine and make a difference in the world.
Ada: I don't want to shine at the cost of losing the people I love. I will not go against my heart and abandon my family in my time of need. If you don't see that, then I don't know who you are anymore.
In this dramatic conversation, Ada's grandfather and father insist on sending her to Draphil, despite her desire to stay with her family during a difficult time. Ada expresses her grief and the importance of being present at her sister's wedding, emphasizing the value of family ties. The two men fail to provide concrete reasons for Ada's departure, leading to a heated disagreement. Ada feels like her happiness and well-being are being sacrificed and she questions the true nature of family. The conversation ends with Ada asserting her refusal to abandon her family and expressing disappointment at their lack of understanding. The disagreement highlights the clash between individual aspirations and family obligations, leaving the characters in a state of emotional turmoil.
Ada always knew that one day she would have to leave the main house and live away from them, it was the older children who took up the torch and took care of the family name. But how could he ask her to leave when she hadn't even mourned her great-grandfather yet, and nothing about Elyisa's marriage was in her favor.
Leaving the two men in the garden she took the path to enter, on the way, a shadow passed in front of her
-ahh..you scared me! What are you doing here ? In front of her was Neph, her sister's fiancé, you could tell he carried her charm, his beauty could hit them in the face as much as he wanted.
-Oh, I scared you… he said smiling! Are you doing well ?
-Yes why ? Do I look like I'm not okay!
-oh there, since you lost father Emry, and I just saw a very lively discussion between you, father and grandfather, I said to myself that you would need someone!
-sometimes I wonder why you care about me so much, said Ada laughing, they continued to take the small path. I'm going to miss you, brother-in-law, he looked at her with a smile but his eyes expressed something else.
-Where are you planning to go? He stopped to see better.
-ah I have to go to Draphil, I want to concentrate on my specialties and you know most of the little ones don't stay in the main house.
-For what? Aren't you staying for the wedding? And your sister, have you thought of her? your mother ? And I...myself I had a little heartbreaking peak
-ah, I don't know, I had already planned to leave, I'm already registered and so everything...she took his hand, and looked at him...you're all going to manage fine without me, so what could happen !
He stared at Ada for a short moment before removing his hand and walking away without even answering her.
