He's in denial of it as his head wrestles with his heart. He's puzzled about the why of it and the incestous situation that came out and he was pacing back and forth like an animal.<strong>"Darius?"</strong>No answer he looked at this information and looked back to Songbird for the moment as if trying to rationalize it sonehow. Songbird cannot be his sister, she just<em>can't</em>!<strong>Darius!"</strong>He turned around fast as he whirled on Diabelle<strong>"What!?"</strong><strong>"I know that is a lot to take in but it is true. This is your sister."</strong><strong>"No, she would have told me!"</strong>He said swiftly and it made sense to him. Diabelle might have believed it but her knowledge was leading her to the same conclusion. The celestial sorcerey the same hair the familiar body type of the Empress within the divine pool. The same origin. It all made sense.<br/><br/>She was calm and collected with her tone and words knowing this was difficult for him to take. Never mind the fact he was once believing himself to be a mere commoner, now he had to cone to terms that his sister was standing right there.<strong>"I can prove to you what is being shown is true. Not merely from the fact that she claims that the man is her father. But observe this family tree."</strong>She took out the scroll from her bag of holding and showed him the Padhe family tree.<strong>"Empress Jani is the last Empress according to this scroll. She was born a concubine but made an Empress. Songbird approach your master."</strong><br/><br/>She ushered Songbird over to him.<strong>"And so she has become again a concubine. This likeness is uncanny. Her father only took interest in her when she came of age. But here's the true claim. All we need do is have your Songbird look in the pool of ancestors. I'm confident I am right."</strong>he paused. Could it be that simple to order her to gaze into the pool and but this drawn out issue to bed once and for all.<strong>"Songbird. Look into the divining pool."</strong>
