my heart is caged

Thistle growled her temper finally showing through I understand you are hurting and you feel betrayed Mercury, but that gives you no right to speak to me that way. I am your mother! Yes I have made mistakes, but you know what I would do it all over again, because then I would have you and your siblings. Ragnar knew the truth and he still raised you did he not, still calls you son. So don't you sit there and call me a liar in so many words.

Thistle bowed her head I know it isn't a name, that was what Pump wanted we were not allowed to name you, you had to earn your own name. She stared at the ground and sighed softly You get your father's permission before you leave Mercury, otherwise I don't care, but promise me that if you need to, you come home.
