Panickingly, Miria gave her son a quick checkover. "Zach, are you alright," she asked, looking extremely concerned.
"I'm fine, Mom," he said, having got his breath back. "What the hell happened? How did you and her uncle know to come?"
"I'll explain when we get to the house. There are stronger barriers there," she said and shut the door before Zach could ask another question, and got in the driver's seat. She waited until they were all safely in the car before she started driving. Once they got to the house, she reinforced the barriers three times over and helped them get Molrim into the house. "Zach, go inside. Now," his mom ordered as he was standing and watching, waiting for an opportunity to help them. However, in hearing the urgency in his mom's voice, he nodded and did as he was told.
She helped get Molrim to the couch and turned to her son, letting the Princess work her healing magic on the Guardian. She sat down on the other couch next to Zach and looked at him. "You know how you can see shadows?" Zach nodded. "Humans can't see them. Occasionally they will see a weak shadow for a split second, out of the corner of their eye."
"..Are you saying I'm not human," Zach asked. He was taking this very calmly.
"You are not. Neither am I. We are from a different realm, a different Plane. One that was at war when I was pregnant with you, and your father insisted I come to the Mortal Plane to raise our baby where it would be safe. Your father died a few weeks later." She bit her lip to fight the tears that she'd never see her beloved again. "He was the King of the Shadowlands. His kingdom, our kingdom, has fallen and our people need us."
