"They of course lived a nice and long life as Lord and Lady Lupisulvian. They got married, had kids but it would be inevitable that he will grow old much sooner than she will and he will pass. She will still be here, somewhere. Maybe wandering this country or some far distant one. Only time will tell."

The auditorium was dreadfully quiet as the woman at the podium finished her very long one-sided discussion to the several hundreds of students surrounding the stage. 

Someone's pencil dropped, breaking the silence louder than a whale crashing back into the watery depths of the ocean. One small, young but brave child raised their hand which grabbed the attention of the presenter's red eyes. "Yes! The little one near the back, you have a question?"

"Umm, my lady.." The child stood up politely with a small bow and fidgeting with the skirt of her dress. "Just go ahead and call me Irene." the woman smiled warmly. "Miss Irene… What about after they got married? Did they live happily ever after? Like the one in the fairytales we hear about?"

Irene let out a genuine laugh but kept herself composed enough to not lose herself. "Oh of course not. But what happens after is a Much longer story that I simply don't have enough time to tell you ALLL about that now."

"My Lady, the headmaster will be here any minute now. I would suggest you make your leave soon. The staff has run out of reasons to delay her any longer." One of the teachers of the academy said as they stepped through the auditorium doors. "Well and that is where I will wrap up this open discussion and little talk about noble history. If there's no more questions that is."

Irene quickly gathered up the notecards she had made for herself while the students stood respectfully before making her way out. One of the children, a little punk of sorts, spoke up and called out at her as she made her leave; neither standing in respect or looking at her, past his feet up on the table. "So then what about you lady? Doesn't that make you some kind of demigod or something too?"

She stopped only briefly to answer his question "No. That doesn't make me any more special than any of you here. Some of my siblings have inherited my mother's divine gifts but in the end, she will still out live every single one of us in this room". The troubled child didn't have any more comments as she stepped to the doors that opened toward her.

"Ah, Headmaster Kahlia, what a coincidence seeing you here…" Irene trailed off while the headmaster looked over the young Lady of the Lupisulvian house. "This is my academy. What do you think you're doing here?" she asked suspiciously but Irene never gave her aunt any answers, slipping past and out the door. "Well what do you know, it's time to…" she paused to look at her wrist "It's time for me to go get a watch." she called while hurrying down the hall.
