Norman and Mousetoria's Conversation

At the very place Norman was found as a baby, Norman sat there, crying. He didn't want to believe at first that everything he knew to be true was a lie, but reality hit him.

"Norman?" said a voice. It was Queen Mousetoria, who was standing there behind him. She slowly and silently walked up to him as Norman turned his head. "Is this where you found me?" he asked, tears streaming from his eyes and down his furry cheeks. "Norman, please try to understand," said Mousetoria, trying to convince him otherwise, but Norman was still driven mad and torn apart by everything he saw. "So everything I thought, everything I am... is a lie?" he thought.

Mousetoria was unfazed. "No!" she told him tenderly and lovingly. "You are our son and we love you." She rubbed his wig and laid a hand on his shoulder. Norman looked at her, half-angry, half-sad. "Why did you choose me?" he questioned, but Mousetoria still tried to convince him that wasn't all true. "We didn't, Norman. The gods did." Norman sadly looked down at the water as Mousetoria moved a bit and sat down next to Norman.

Mousetoria: This is your home, my son

Here the river brought you And it's here the river meant To be your home

Norman looked at his "mother" very sadly as she gently put her hands on his cheeks

Now you know the truth, love Now forget and be content When the gods send you a blessing You don't ask why it was sent

Norman still looked at her with saddened eyes and wondered if he would remember everything she told him. She could only smile at him as her hands still rested on his cheeks. They joined into a hug, but Norman began to cry again, wondering if she was right or if what he saw that night was truer.
