Peter chuckled at Daphne, thinking she was toying with him.  But he played along, "How could you possibly forget, my dear?  Today is your 18th birthday.  Today you are a woman.  Now eat your breakfast and then wash up, for I have some surprises for you."<br/><br/>Peter turned his full attention on the food in front of him and quickly...well quickly for him...made short work of it.  He lifted his head to watch Daphne finish off the last of her morsels as well.  Patting his stomach and making general 'mmm' noises, Peter cleared the table and wiped it down.  "Now go get cleaned up, my dear, while I do the dishes.  There's a pot of water by the stove for you, it should be nice and hot by now.  I will do the dishes while I wait."<br/><br/>Peter quickly cleaned the dishes and then out from under his ramshackle bed, he pulled a small chest from a hole in the ground where it had been covered by a rug.  The chest was dusty and dirty, but otherwise fully intact.  Peter reverently opened the chest and began to pull a few items out to place them on the table.  By this point Daphne was reentering the room.<br/><br/>"Please sit down my dear, I have some things to tell you that may be a bit shocking.  I will start with the biggest one.  Daphne, I love you and I will always love you.  And you will always be like a daughter to me.  Yes, I said like a daughter, because you are not<em>my</em>daughter.  You were given into the care of my wife and me before you were even a year old.  But this doesn't mean I love you any less and I have tried to raise you to the best of my ability since then."  Peter looked to see Daphne's reaction.<br/><br/>"The truth is much larger, much grander than all that.  You are, in fact, the daughter of King Kirinis VIII and you are a princess of the realm."  Peter handed Daphne a pendant.  "This pendant was given to you shortly after you were born.  It is magical.  There is a matching pendant that your true father has.  When you wear the pendant, he shall know where you are as long as you keep the pendant on."  He handed her a small blue vial.  "This is a magical potion which has the ability to heal your body.  Do not drink it all at once.  As long as you leave some in the vial, it will regenerate itself over time."  Placing a large ring in front of her, he continued, "And this is your family signet, it marks you as the daughter of Kirinis, and only your family are allowed to wear it.  Wear it with pride, my dear Princess."<br/><br/>Finally, Peter pulls out a cloth map and hands it to her.  "Lastly, this is a map of the Kingdom and I have marked on it the path you should take to arrive at your father's castle.  I know this is a lot to handle all at once, so please tell me, do you have any questions?"
