The truth, the past...

"You called me?" She asked the man in front of her, his only response was a slight nod of his head. Waiting for him to tell her exactly what reasons he had for calling her, seeing as how the man in front of her hardly ever sent word asking for her to meet him somewhere with matters to discuss. She watched as he turned and walked up a spiral stair case, following closely behind him she ascended the stairs quietly. Once they reached the third floor he turned to his left opening a large wooded door holding it open he gesture for her to enter stepping forward she entered one of the few rooms she has come to love. Stacked from floor to ceiling were books of all sizes the smell of old paper and leather instantly flied her nose, in the center of the room sat a couch while off in one corner sat a dark wooden oak desk behind it a large bay window from which one could see for miles. Stepping silently into the room she casually walked over to the couch and sat down, looking up at the man waiting patiently for him to come into the room and tell her why exactly he had called her there.
His eyes showed a bit of sadness, his black hair just as dark as one of his sons, walking into the room he closed the door silently. She watched and waited patiently as he walked over to the couch to sit down beside her. "Viviane..." he sighed. Tilting her head she waited not wanting to disturb him. "My dear I believe I have finally figured out your mystery..." looking up at him she blinked "You don't sound to happy Khons." He smirked, "no, I am happy that we finally know. I'm just not to pleased about the circumstances that brought you into existence." She sat there still waiting scared. Part of her wanted to know, yet part of her didn't. She craved the knowledge that she knew he had searched for, but yet fear held her back from asking. The whys had constantly pledged her through the millenniums but answers the those questions had also eluded her at the same time. Yet now after all this time, someone finally was offering to tell her the whys and the answers.
He watched her as she sat there beside him, he could tell that she was interested in the answers he had found but yet he could also see the fear in her eyes. He decided he wouldn't continue until she told him she was ready to hear the true. Her truth... Khons knew this would be painful for her to hear, yet he knew no one else could tell her, it seemed to be his fate to tell the girl beside him what she really was. It seemed to be slightly a cruel fate for her. When her hazel eyes finally rose to meet his they held a look of pure desire to know the true. Sighing he nodded once licking his lips he began what he knew would be a long and painful truth, for both of them. The past was something rather hard.
"You are from someones imagination, or rather a manifestation of someones thoughts. That someone died a very long time ago, but as it seems in her final thoughts she thought of a female, thus creating you. How you ended up on earth rather then in Light I have yet to quite figure out. But I can tell you rather who it was that created you, Lorelei. She was killed before Light fell. I'm sure you know of her story so I wont tell you the details of that. And seeing as how you were formed from her imagination it shows why you have no memory of a childhood and as to why none of us remember ever seeing you, yet we know that you some how had ties to Light..." She listened intently to his words, her heart fell 'I'm nothing more then a figment... But I feel real.' She felt his fingers curl around her chine bringing her head up so he could look her in the eyes "You are real my dear, as real as I am. She made you real. You might have once been just an idea, but she turned that idea into a real breathing person. Don't think ever think that you aren't real because dear you are. Other wise we wouldn't be able to see, feel, hear, and touch you. Your being created explains how you have the powers that you have. And why you are as old as you are. No normal human would live as long as you have, nor would any wizard no matter how powerful. Do you understand? You are real." Nodding her head lightly, she whispered a weak "yes."
"Good. Now on to other matters." His voice changed from being soft to being stern. She knew that he was about to either lecture her or about to tell her that she had screwed up at something, wincing a little she tried to put on her best 'I'm innocent' look. At seeing her face he had no choose but to chuckle at her, "I'm sorry dear but I for one know you're not innocent. But never mind that. What I'm about to tell you I'm telling you because I know you. I want you to stay away from Spectre. Stop chasing him. He's not your fight, I know you feel that you need to, but my dear he's not yours to go after. He's my arrogant son's to deal with. And no I have yet to tell that moron what you have been up to, but don't think him stupid or blind Viviane. He has a feeling about what you've been doing and you know as well as I that when his suspensions are confirmed he's going to be pissed. So will you try to stay away from Spectre?" Looking into his eyes she knew if she lied he'd know sighing, tilting her head to the side she replied with a frown, "you know I can not. You know I would if I could, but I know that the moment I were to stop going after him he'd come for me. You know that. It's his game he lives for it. I'm afraid I have been playing this game with him for so long that he would be suspicious if it were to suddenly stop. And I have children I need to think about Khons, your grandchild is innocent and I won't sit back and let a monster run wild when I can possibly do something about it." She was rather surprised when he nodded in agreement but then his words didn't surprise her in the least, "I know but who's to say that he's yours to deal with." Looking away she choose not to reply, knowing in ways he was right. But also in ways that she was too. It may not have to be her fight but she was still going to fight none the less.
Hearing his sigh she turned back to him. He raised his hand and gestured to the door, "go home and rest dear I believe I've told you all I can possibly tell you tonight." Nodding she stood, turning towards him she bent down and hugged him, whispering lightly to him "thank you." Standing straight back up she turned and walked quietly to the door, opening it slightly she slipped out and down the stairs. Exiting the tower taking a deep breath, closing her eyes she felt her self shift from where standing outside the tower to standing in her room. Opening her eyes taking in the room she turned to the old wooden desk that lay in the corner of her room. Walking over to the desk, pulling out the chair that sat still behind it pulling out her journal she wrote down everything Khons had told her. After finishing she sat back holding the pin between two finger while the end rested between her lips. She let her mind wounder back to as far as she could all the way back to the first time she can remember opening her eyes...
Heat... A scorching sun bared down on her while burning sand lay under her, every part of her body was exposed to the elements, she lay there necked under the roasting sun in the Libyan desert. A shadow soon fell over the girls body the words "oh lord" could be herd from a female sounding voice. The sand by the body shifted as the one who had been standing moved to sit beside the brunette that laid in the sand, a hand tentatively reached out to check for a pulse finding one the hand moved away. The body was soon covered from the sun with a thin breathable cloth, as the female voice shouted orders around. Hands reached out and picked up the body from the ground caring it to a near by shelter. Days past before the girl awoke laying covered in a thin red dress she blinked her eyes taking in her surroundings she saw what looked like a female standing in the entrance of the tent. But as it moved closer she found that the female had black cat ears on top of her head, and a long bushy black tail. The neko was dressed in a green gown. The girl didn't move as the neko neared her. "Don't worry I wont hurt you." It said reassuringly, and some how the girl believed her. "Do you know your name?" The girl tilted her head to one side pondering the question to her self. 'Name... My name... My name is "Viviane" she said softly, the neko smiled "good, my name is Green Leigh" Viviane smiled back...
