"The name of that wonderful woman I married on the same day was Joana..." (Klaus)
Tears started to fall from Kira's eyes midway through Klaus' story, everyone in the room extended who Klaus is now.
"Where…where were you…where were you when she…when we needed you the most!?" (Kira)
I saw fury flood Kira's expression and saw her get to her feet as she sobbed while pointing her finger at Klaus.
In her unfocused eyes, I could see a myriad of thoughts or memories pass through her eyes, through the connection I have with her I can feel a storm of emotions.
"My mother died sick and hungry surrounded by unreliable people who chose the easiest way to solve their problems when put against the wall!" (Kira)
Tears
"..." (Klaus)
"Where were you when she needed you!? Where were you when she was hurt!?" (Kira)
"..." (Klaus)
Tears
I wanted to get up to stand beside her, but luckily Diana put a hand on my shoulder to stop me, as difficult as this can be for Kira, it's still something she needs to get over on her own.
"(I know that...but it's still hard to see her like this.)" (I)
I've never seen Kira this agitated before, I've never seen her lose control like this, I can feel her mixed emotions and I know just by seeing how lost she is.
"He doesn't..." (Naraka)
"Naraka! Leave it, I deserve this, it's my fault." (Klaus)
Tears
"..." (Kira)
It seems that Kira has finally put some weight out, she finally notices Klaus's tears streaming down a face full of regret and sadness, she saw it when she turned to yell at him and stopped what she was going to say.
She looks at me and I smile at her to show that I'm here with her, I wanted her to see at least a smile from someone in this very tense simulation, so she turns to Klaus again.
"What happened... I need to know, tell me." (Kira)
"I was young, I always had a lot of talent which allowed me to have a much more demanding training, with that I always surpassed those of my age, and without knowing it blind confidence made me think I was invincible." (Klaus)
"The Elders of the village saw my potential and my flaws, they sent me to travel across many cities and continents to open my mind with experience, but I didn't understand it back then." (Klaus)
"During my travels, I made many enemies for making childish and foolish decisions, I also let many enemies escape, I left a trail of enemies behind thinking that none of them would be able to do anything to me when I left, I was naive." (Klaus)
He raised a hand to his face as the Serpent on his shoulder extended its tail to pass over his head.
"That day I had gone on a dangerous mission, I would take a long time to return, but the village I belong to had sent me an important mission, so I left the continent without knowing how long I would be away." (Klaus)
"When I went back to the Morror Continent to get her..." (Klaus)
At that moment he stopped, could see his eyes become vacant like those of a corpse, the tears in his eyes never stopping as if his sadness had no limits.
"When I came back she was gone, I heard about her injuries, I heard about her not being able to fight again and how that happened." (Klaus)
"Some of those enemies I left behind in the past somehow found out about me, but back then I was too strong for them to do anything to me directly, so they did what bastards and cowards do, go after a target to take out all of it hatred that could hurt me even indirectly." (Klaus)
"They attacked Joan at least 5 times in a few days, she came close to death many times before she managed to return to her village, so as soon as her wounds were reasonably healed, she disappeared…" (Klaus)
"The people of her village said they searched relentlessly, but that didn't stop me from scouring that continent trying to find her until I was dragged back to this continent." (Klaus)
"I didn't know if she was dead or alive, I didn't know where she was or who exactly was responsible, all I knew was that she disappeared and knowing Joana if she was alive I might never see her again." (Klaus)
"The pain, loneliness, and sadness consumed me until all that was left was hate, so I used that as motivation, I chased after everyone until there was none left, but I never stopped looking for her, I wouldn't be able to bear to stop looking Is it over there." (Klaus)
The killing intent coming out of her body was something evil, I could even smell blood through the shed at that moment as if I was in a field full of bodies.
"Until one day I felt an endless void, I felt like a hole had formed in my heart, a hole that would never close, I knew she was gone forever because she was the only thing that could hurt me so badly." (Klaus)
"Until a few months ago, I never knew that Joana was pregnant, that's why the letter that the people of the Morror Continent was such a shock." (Klaus)
I throw myself on the floor on my knees with tears in my eyes but a big smile in my eyes.
"You are Joana's legacy, you are the living symbol of our love, you were the one she most wanted to protect, her greatest treasure." (Klaus)
"You are my beloved daughter..." (Klaus)
Kira threw herself into Klaus' arms as they both cried, Klaus, kept asking forgiveness for being a terrible father, for not being there for her or his wife, and for not being able to protect either of them.
I thought they needed some time alone so I left the two of them there, and told Sapphire and Nix to stay behind while we headed back to town with the help of the Black Serpent which I found out to be Klaus' Hired Spirit, he sent us into town again.
I left a letter in Nix's hands to be delivered to Kira later, I said in the letter for her to spend these days with her father, to get to know each other better.
They needed some time alone so we went to a restaurant to get something to eat before flying to the Hotel where we were staying, I'm sure everyone is tired monthly after listening to Kira's father's story.
