Sally turned towards Alix then glanced at Adora along with Dral and Zack, who were smiling at her, her brows furrowed a little then she tilted her head to the right.
"Am I hearing things and seeing things now?" she asked as she grabbed onto the cheek of Dral, who flinched then held onto her hand and she sighed.
"So, I am not, you are actually here, aren't you, Dral?" she asked and he exhaled deeply.
"Yeah, I am here now, Sal, it's been a while," he responded and her eyes shimmered as she stared at him and Alix glanced at her, knowing that she was happy to see her husband.
"Yeah, it has indeed been a while, you hardly came to visit me after those times, I am glad to see that you are okay, Dral," she said with a little tears in her eyes and Dral smiled at her then patted her on her shoulder and she looked at him.
Just then she began processing that he was there with Alix and what they said to her earlier and her brows furrowed as she looked at Alix then the others.
"Hmm, you are here with Alix and the princess, I see, what's going on here?" she asked and Dral burst out laughing and she sighed.
"Come on, don't leave me in the dark, right now I am very confused and many things are going through my mind," she said and Alix chuckled then patted her on the shoulder and she glanced at him as he wrapped his right arm around her neck.
"Alix," she said and he smiled at her.
"You guys have been through a lot of these years, huh?" he asked and her eyes widened when he asked her that and she moved away from him immediately and he looked at her.
"Sally," Dral said and she glanced at him before lowering her head.
"Don't tell me... You found out the truth? Alix, do you know what happened to you all those years ago now?" she asked as she looked up at him and he nodded.
At the same time, everything that happened to him that night, came flashing into her mind and her lips trembled.
"I am sorry, Alix, I am really sorry about all that happened back then, but, I am still confused," she said and Dral smiled at her then approached her.
"Don't worry, we will explain everything that happened, just relax a bit," Dral replied.
"Yeah, he is right, just relax, take a seat," Alix added and Sally sat down immediately, looking a bit lost and confused about what was going on.
"Start explaining please, I don't want to be left in the dark anymore, I want to know everything that happened and how you came to know the truth as well, am I clear on this?" she asked and they smiled at her.
"Yeah, you are crystal clear, I will tell you everything that happened, including how I came to know about the truth and myself, where exactly I came from," Alix responded and Sally was a little pleased to hear that, since she was glad that he at least knew he was from.
"I see, then I will listen carefully, everyone knows now, princess?" Sally asked.
"Well, I have always known, but right now, only us and the others that were there with us, my father and the rest of them does not know as yet but Alix is planning on tell them very soon because of what is happening, he has to," she responded and Sally smiled at her.
"I understand, princess, after all it's all connected to what happened back then, isn't it?" she asked.
"Yeah, it's the same one that killed my parents that's behind all of this as well, which is why, the others need to know and I am going to tell the king as soon as possible, just not yet, we have only now returned," Alix responded and Sally glanced at him.
"Yeah, you are right, they need to know, who knows what more is coming to us, that guy is a monster, he won't care, he deserves nothing more than death," she said as she clenched her fist and that's when Alix saw how angry she was at the one that made their lives hell, as well and he smiled at her.
"He will get what's coming to him, no one here plans on yielding to them, not now or ever, a war might be coming as well, who knows what will happen, it's all moving a little faster than before to be honest, but this is our reality and we have to face it, I was a little surprised about everything but, it's the truth," Alix replied and Sally smiled at him.
"Yeah, we have to face it, it is our reality, one that has no escape, especially for people like us, he will find out the truth, whoever he is, you know that right?" Sally asked and Alix glanced at her and his eyes narrowed.
"I am not even hiding it, there is no need to, not anymore," he responded.
"I see, I have to say, in the time that I have not seen you, you have grown a lot more than anyone could have imagined, in many different ways, I guess a lot has changed, you are all grown up, Alix, I am glad you know the truth, I am not going to stop you from doing what you have to but, be careful," she said and Alix smiled at her.
"I will be, don't worry, you have done that for a long time, I am sorry for what you have had to do and I am grateful to you as well, thank you very much for taking care of me all these years, you have always been there," he replied and tears came to her eyes and Alix flinched as he looked at her and the others exchanged glances.
Sally was still in a little shock, since she couldn't believe that now, Alix had known everything about his past even without her mentioning anything about it and she was more than pleased despite being worried and a little baffled.
