I felt my breath catch in my throat. It was. . . impossible. But I had proved myself that things happen, even when many would determine them completely impossible. I turned my eyes away, my brain rattling in my head. Slowly, my mouth formed words, sentances.
' Then you are. . . ' I started, unsure if I wanted to finish my sentance. I chose not to, waiting to see if she would for me.
My memories whirled, recalling a sister. I shook my head, tentatively turning my silver-green eyes to her.

+If you fall behind and don't know what to do+
I'm not exactly sure. A great plus something cousin, perhaps. But that is only if you are truly the son of Sylver, which makes me wonder how exactly you've, well, survived.
I asked, regaining my mental balance as I looked him up and down. He didn't look all together, either, so I simply smiled gently, twisting my hands around themselves nervously. What should I say? What could I say? Hey, there, I'm one of our descendents. Nice to meet you?

My thoughts spun still, though her words slightly calming. My brows knit with uncertainty. I ran my hands down my scales, thoughts churning for an explination that I didn't know would come.
' Maybe it was because I was the first decendant of Sylver that I survived. I'm almost as much dragon as he was. ' I sighed, memories flooding over me. The war. The destruction of species. My hand moved to the scar on my forearm. ' I wouldn't be alive if he didn't teach me how to fight. ' I'd almost been killed in the Days of Death. But the fight in me that Sylver had given wouldn't let me die then, and hasn't to this day.
So I did have family, no matter how obsure the relation was.

+If you fall behind and don't know what to do+
I smiled brightly, resisting the urge to bounce up and down. Now was no time to act like a ten year old, and there were questions I had. Lots and lots of questions. How I ever knew I'd someday meet a relative of mine, I didn't know, but I had prepared some questions non the less. Now, if only I could remember them...
Well, I mean, this is just... impossible, right?
I blabbed, searching frantically for a question.

I smiled, feeling her excitement in the edges of my mind. But I'd become to anxious now to bother with my powers, or what was going on in her racing mind. I knew she had questions, as did I, though I would wait now until she was finsihed.
' It seems nothing is impossible these days, ' I said, smiling. It was something father used to say. Of course, for him it was a bit different.

Yeah, well, true, but I mean, there are some impossible things. Like, in the next second, the world will blow up...
I waited a second, or two, really.
.. See? Like, nothing.
I continued my rambling, waving my arms around like a ditz, and feeling completely idiotic, confused, and over joyed. I hadn't been this happy in a long time, not since my brother had died. This was exactly what I needed, and especially this day.

I sighed, standing and putting my hands on Rayna's shoulders. Smiling, I spoke.
' Okay, calm down, ' I smiled. I wasn't used to the ditzyness of her mind, and it was sending my sensors on the fritz. I needed calm right now, so I could thjink straight.

Calm down? Oh, I can be calm, see? Calm, calming down, see?
I blabbered, finally deciding it was no longer within my powers to shut my mouth, and instead resorted to clamping a hand over it. I felt even stupider at that point and this a smile I grinned stupidly at Tzar from behind my hand, thinking about how cool he looked, and weird it was that he was 400 years or so old, and then wondering if I would ever live that long.

ooc; he's 400, not 40.
I couldn't help but smile as I slowly took my hands off her shoulders and her bouncing stopped. I felt the wonder in her mind, and slowly let it subside to a dull throb. I gave her a few minutes, before I spoke.
' I know there's a few questions you want answered, ' I tapped her on the forehead, ' So start asking. Just, keep your mind calm. Gives me a headache. '

ooc: ((-coughs- he he, thanks for pointing that out ^^)) Oh, yes, sorry.
I whispered removing my hand and instead twiddling my thumbs aimlessly. I needed to focus my energy somewhere, so with a wide grin I decided to ask the first thing that popped into my head and hoped it was something smart sounding.
What were they like? Sylver, was he, like, cool? What about Narya? Do you remember?
So technically it was four questions, but it was better then the twenty which almost streamed out.

I could sense the excitement in her voice, not only in her mind. I delved into my memories, as far as I could, catching ahold of whatever fragments of my parents I could. Sylver stands on the edge of a clearing, a pround smile in his face and his mind swelling with hope for another fighter. My mother sits beside him. I stand in the center of the clearing, holding a sword to my opponents throat. He'd been teaching me how to handle a sword, before I'd discovered my. . . power.
I opened my eyes, feeling the tears sting the back of my eyes. To this day, it still pains me to think of them. I sighed, turning my eyes away. Another memory came, this one less clear, but still there.
I stand behind my mother, her arm trying to hold me back. But I fight forward, determined as always. As I lay my eyes on the bloodied body of my father, I hide my face, unwillingy allowing my mother to glimpse my tears.
Now I couldn't hold back my tears. I felt one slide down my cheeck, falling into the palm of my hand, resting on my lap. Stubbornly, I turned from Rayna, shaking my head. ' Yeah. Father was. . . He was more than cool. And Mother...... '[b/] I cocked a smile, finally looking at her over my shoulder, ' So was she. '

+If you fall behind and don't know what to do+
My lips halted as I watched his tears, and I wondered what exactly I could say to help. That's me, full of words and thoughts until it comes to the time when it really counts, when it really matters. I couldn't think of anything, so in a wimpy little voice, I reached up and touched his arm.
Hey, don't cry.
I said weakly, scrunching up my face in a weird emotion.
