Suddenly, Freyja was talking too fast for her- babbling on and on about their mother and her foster mother and the fact that they were sisters. Sisters. That was impossible... It had to be impossible. Her sisters had perished at birth, gone unnamed because his father hadn't seen the point in naming things that were lifeless from the start. Only Nayru survived. Nobody else. Nobody else. But obviously that couldn't be true, even Nayru realized this. The girl that currently danced around her had that same sort of otherworldly beauty that Nayru did... there was no denying their blatant resemblance either.

It felt as if she had been punched in the stomach, an obvious frown decorating her pale features as she tried to work through this... this... complication, for lack of a better word. Why had father hid her sister away from her? Why had he lied to her as he had? She couldn't understand - didn't want to even attempt to understand - she knew how her father was, she knew how awful he could be. This wasn't out of his realm of possibility, not in the slightest. He probably saw Freyja as something that would only prove to distract her from her training as they grew older.

What surprised her most was how happy Freyja seemed to see her. There was no bitter resentment, no jealousy, just genuine excitement to be reunited with the sister she had been parted from. She knew that if she had been placed in that situation, forced to grow up hearing about a Princess who lived a life much different than her own, she would have grown to hate her sister.

[b][color=#6b7e99]"Sister," She echoed quietly, shooting a helpless look in the direction of her clanmates, [color=#6b7e99]"I didn't know I had a sister." Her confession trembled just as she did now, cerulean eyes brimmed with a jumble of emotions. [color=#6b7e99]"Father always told me that my sisters died but... Father always told me a lot of things. He called me an Heir to a Throne of Nothing... he told me that the common people hated me," She continued, biting a lip. She was oversharing parts of her history that she kept hidden away, too afraid to come to terms with them until now. [color=#6b7e99]"Leaving Akala was a choice I had to make. They all think I'm coming back but I'm not. Um... you're glad to finally meet me? Really?" Nayru inquired, doubt clear in her voice. She had been taught to question every aspect of herself and now would be no different.
