“Your mother served me faithfully but ultimately, she chose worldly pleasures over sanctity,” the goddess said to me.
“You how could you do that to her?” My hands shook as I looked down at them. Tears splattered against my palms. “What was her reward for serving you!?” I exploded.
“Her rewards was serving me.” The atmosphere around me turned frosty. “Miriam was a dedicated servant so I allowed her enjoy some perks.”
What perks had my mother enjoyed? From all I could see, she had faithfully served a goddess who deserted her because she chose her fate. The goddess had the power to alter the future, to guide my father away from the path that ended in destruction. She could have done that much for my mother, her servant.
“Tampering with the future is tricky and often cataclysmic. The more deities interfere in the lives of mortals, the less free will your kind have. The best I could do was advice your father but he never listened. I cannot rewrite the future.”
“Then what can you do?” My words were a taunt.
“I allowed your mother see the future because she was special to me. I wanted to save her from disaster, but it was in her future. I could not change it. If someone had tried to tamper with her life before it was her time, I would have saved her like I have saved you numerous times.”
I nodded as if I understood but I really didn’t. “And my baby?” I raised my head as if she was standing there and I could see her, look into her eyes and show her I was desperate.
“My child,” Sadness tinged the voice and I could imagine an old lady with white hair sitting on a throne, head bent. “I chose to speak to you today because I can see you struggling with bitterness. You have come this face and you deserve to know why.”
“Your mother’s service to me exempted her from her family’s curse,” the calm voice returned after a few seconds of silence. “Her lineage was cursed for shedding innocent b***d but she escaped her fate and ran to my sanctuary. I kept her safe in my sanctuary for many years, preserving her.” I blinked because I was not expecting that.
“What What do you mean by preserving her?”
“Time is a teardrop to me but an ocean to your kind. To me, she had spent less than a week in the sanctuary but she told me one day that she had spent decades. She had not aged in those decades but she wanted to leave to see the world outside.”
I It was a lot to wrap my head around but I had a goddess in my head. I was listening directly to the he voice of divinity so nothing seemed too big to wrap my head around.
If my mother’s lineage was cursed, did that make me cursed too? “Who cursed her lineage?” I asked.
Cursed.
I had played around with that idea all my life. I had called myself cursed with bad luck. I’d suffered enough to assume my bad luck was not ordinary. Yet, I never actually expected to be cursed for real.
“I did.” I looked up, forgetting that she wasn’t sitting in front of me.
“What?” Things just kept getting worse and worse the more I listened to her voice.
“Her grandmother spilt innocent b***d so I cursed her and everything that came from her, including magic.” Some pieces were moving into place to form the giant puzzle before me. “I annihilated the others like her who aided in spilling innocent b***d.
They served two deities so it was easy for them to hide from me but the earth goddess cried out when she was muddied with the b***d of the innocent.” Realization hit me and with it came discomfort that bloomed into horror.
Surely, she didn’t mean
“Queen Valencia was a good queen. She was faithful in her duties and served me well. It was not her time to die but greedy men collaborated with wolves blessed with magic. They killed her and altered the future terribly.”
“Are you saying are you saying that that ” I stuttered.
“My dearest, your great grandmother worked with traitors that killed the ones I blessed to rule over my people. I cursed the magic tree after that and took away magical abilities from those that still lived. The traitors would have failed if they didn’t have magic.”
I buried my face in my palms and then I cried. For my mother who had suffered the illest fate. I thought my life was bad but she must have had it worse. I couldn’t imagine having to flee my home to avoid the wrath of the people my family had hurt only to end up in the same situation as before.
My b***d.
I had the b***d of a traitor. I always thought it was an insult meant to get me down but it was true. My great grandmother had been a traitor and my parents too. How soon would my traitorous gene manifest to haunt me?
“I am a traitor. I have the b***d of a traitor,” I whispered to myself, raising my head to look at my hands as if expected to see b***d.
“The bitterness in your heart,” the goddess said in a subdued tone. “It is spreading.”
“And if I so Valens ” My mind travelled back to the day I heard him discussing vengeance against those that wronged him. I didn’t understand at first because I thought he’d killed them all but I did now. He knew my mother fled and he was searching for whatever family she may have started.
I was the one he was looking for.
If I wasn’t seated already, I would collapse into a seat.
We were so terribly matched that it didn’t make any sense for us to be mates. He hated me!
“Miriam was dear to me and as her daughter, I will give you this perk. He will never find out if you don’t tell him.” I laughed out loud at that.
“A perk? Why why would you even make me his mate when he hates me?”
“It is the only way to save the two of you.” I was doomed. “I created you for him.” The goddess went quiet. “I made you and gave you Artemis. Artemis and Zino have been mates in all their lifetimes.” I blinked at her as if I was stupid.
“I did not turn away from my prince during his curse. I put plans in place to free him but as I said, time is not the same to me and your kind.” She paused. “His heart his heart is black and coated in bitterness. I could not break him from his curse with such a vengeful heart.” She went quiet and sadness wrapped around me.
“I hid Miriam because she served me and because I did not want Valens to continue his revenge with her. I gave him time to get over his loss and forgo vengeance but the more time that passed, the more bitter he got.” The sadness around me spread through the room.
