She took a sip of the freshly squeezed orange juice and smiled shyly. "Your hi....." she paused "dad?" she asked correcting herself as she looked up at him from the food in front of her.

"What is it Raya?" he asked looking up at her his eyes meeting hers with an inquisitive look in them.

"I..." she paused trying to word what she would say the right way. "I found the dungeon this morning and meet a man you have imprisoned there. If I may why must you imprison people if they have done nothing wrong?" she asked. Her heart fluttered at the thought I'm asking her father this even though she had just met him that she felt the duty in her soul that she had to. Her father just looked at her quite puzzled and then remembered the wolf in the dungeon.

" Raya I don't know why you were down there but that place is forbidden for you I command that you don't go down there again," he said seriously. His world his orange juice and his goblet as I look down it at the cup that was now half empty. He wondered why his daughter would bring up such a thing. He looked back up at her and raise a questioning brow.

" look I was forced here against my will the least you can do is answer my questions" she snapped back at him standing up onto her feet her Palms flat against the tabletop.

Reyes ghoul at her father as she sat back down in her chair and began to quietly eat. Your father looked back up at her and cleared his throat. " well there are other things we must talk about this moment there's a reason you were brought here. If you haven't noticed Farista is in danger. My twin brother is known as the king of shadows as Everyone likes to call him. Is starting a war yet another one that I am afraid we cannot win. If he gets his way his darkness and Evil will take over the land and if that happens your home will be destroyed as well.

Raya gasped in shock at her father's words and stared blankly at him trying to find the words. How should she react to this she just found her father that she had never met was pushed into this new world and now is being asked to save it. Raya it took a moment of silence to try to find the words. " I don't know what to say but mother always told me to speak with my heart and my heart is telling me that this place needs me I'm scared but this world of yours is beautiful and if my world if it is in Jeopardy as well then I guess I have no choice but to accept." she got to her feet and step back before curtsying to her father. " if you'll excuse me I'll be in my room and I will be there for the wolf's Court date."

She turned and walked out of the dining room and headed upstairs to her bedroom. Once inside she lightly closes the door and leaned her back up against it. She started to wonder to herself wondering what she had gotten herself into. Deciding to take a nap she walked over to her bed laying down, dress and all and let her eyes drift closed.
