way it was hard to see them through the pain.
    “What’s going on?” Prince Leev asked sounding helpless as he and Leo ran to our sides.
    Just as fast as it started it ended. That was the scariest thing that has happened to me so far. “Are you two okay?”
    “Yes. I am now.” Ashley answered.
    “What was that?” April whispered still clutching her head.
    “Things has become a great deal more complicated.” Nolin sighed tugging on his long white beard.
    “What is happening to us? Is there something else you are keeping from us?” I asked pushing my way in front ofPrince Leev and Leo to get to Nolin, only to be blocked by Rṓ gaire. “Why are you in my way? I only want answers.”
    “Step aside.” Nolin quietly commanded Rṓ gaire, causing him to instantly obey. “I have a theory, in order to verify this. Do you mind stepping closer?”
    Nolin’s words piqued my curiosity, hoping that he would be able to explain what was happening I slowly made my way toward him.
    I was two steps away from him, when he brought both of his hands up to cup my head on both sides. “Try to relax and clear your mind.”
    I tried to do as he instructed, I could feel a soothing warmth coming from his hands, which made it easier to relax.
    “Now picture the book of Eupai in your mind.” He instructed still holding my head.
    This time when I remember the book in my head, I didn’t hear the buzz or feel any pain; instead I began to get a glimpse of a memory, at least it feels as if this has already happened. I could see the book, in the hands of my stepmom, as she sat on the couch, with the lamp on the table by her illuminating her long jet black hair. My heart began to pound faster, as I began to feel homesick.
    In my mind I could see myself walking near her, watching her opening the book, I could feel myself pulling up on the couch to get a peek at what she was reading. I was beginning to make out the words on the page, and that is when I was brought to my knees with the most excruciating pain, starting from the back of my head and spreading all over. I could not hear anyone over my own screaming, but I knew I was surrounded by people. Curling up in a ball, I could feel myself being lifted, and someone’s hands cradling my head. I stayed that way on the ground until the pain began to slowly subside.
    Feeling drained and weak, I struggled to sit up, only to have someone push me back down.
    “Stay down for at least a few more minutes.” I heard Leo say, and for once I was not going to argue with him.
    The voices around me started to become clearer as I laid there.
    “What did you do?” I could hear Ashley yell.
    “This is worse than I expected.” Nolin responded.
    “What do you mean? What is happening to her?” Ashley yelled.
    “Nolin, is there anything we can do to help.” Prince Leev questioned.
    “No, young prince, the pain should be subsiding now.
    He was right, the loud buzz had become bearable, and my vision and sound was starting to return.
    “What just happened to me?” I asked attempting to get up for a second time.
    “It seems that you have part of your memories blocked.” Nolin explained extending a hand to help me up. “Are you alright now?”
    “Yes, other than the small buzzing in my ears, and the temporary hearing loss, I think I am now one hundred percent back to normal.” I responded realizing for the first time that I was previously being cradled by Leo. 
    Great, my day just keeps getting better.
    “I am glad to hear that.” Nolin said with a sigh of relief, completely ignoring my sarcasm. “The most logical conclusion to this is that Nanina and Machen has blocked certain memories from you, and when you are reminded of these forgotten events you began to experience mental and physical pain.”
    “That’s crazy why would our parents…I mean guardians do that?” Ashely exclaimed helping me to find a seat at the table.
    “In light of this discovery, I believe that Nanina and Machen never
