"Yes. You are my first creation's daughter - Saman." the man said without concealing anything to Sagana.
"Saman? Wasn't she the daughter of Sicalac and Sicabay?" Sagana asked with doubt as she only knew that the Santo Family is the direct bloodline of Kaptan.
"Yes and they are my first creation - Sicalac, the first man - and Sicabay, the first woman"
"However, Saman went missing after Saman gave birth to her and her father's son"
"You're not Saman but at the same time you're Saman"
Sagana knew the story of Sicalac and Sicabay but she couldn't accept the fact that she's the reincarnation of Saman.
The daughter who had an affair with her father.
Although the modern times couldn't accept an intermarriage inside the family, it was acceptable in ancient times.
"But I am not Saman" Sagana said in order not to confuse Kaptan that she's Saman.
"I know but Saman is You" Kaptan obviously regained his excitement because he found the reincarnation of Saman.
"But... I am Sagana" Sagana felt defeated because she knew that she couldn't defy her biological family's God because her flesh and blood came from Kaptan but it was her first time to have a direct contact with a deity.
"It doesn't matter. Whatever Saman has become right now, Saman is You" Kaptan took a stand on his choice.
Sagana was left speechless because of Kaptan's stubbornness.
Wait... A deity should be stern, indifferent and strict right?
But why is my biological family's God so stubborn?
Sagana sighed and began to ask about the bloodlines of deities in this world.
"I cannot blame you for not knowing about the descendants of the deities in this world"
"I am Kaptan, one of the Supreme Beings of Maharlika Islands"
"I belong to the First Generation Divine Family Alliance together with Bathalang Maykapal, Tungkung Langit, Bagatulayan, and Kadaklan"
"I, Kaptan, am the Supreme Being of Bisaya and my direct descendants are Santo Family. My ability is to control time and space and the inherited superpower is Light Energy.
"Tungkung Langit is the Supreme Being of Suludnon and his descendants are the Arabuwan Family. His ability is to control wind. The inherited superpower is wind energy.
"Bagatulayan is the Supreme Being of Tinguian Itneg and his direct descendants are Manolo Family. His ability is to control water. The inherited supernatural power is water energy"
"Kadaklan is the Supreme Being of Kalinga and his direct descendants are Del Mundo Family. His ability is healing power and their inherited supernatural power is wood energy.
"And lastly, Bathala Maykapal is Supreme Being of the Tagalogs and his ability is to control fire. His direct descendants are the Diego Family and their inherited superpower is fire energy"
"There are more Supreme Beings but these five Supreme Beings are part of our alliance since ancient times"
"Then, how are you so certain I am the reincarnation of Saman?" Sagana was still bothered by this.
After all, she grew up as an orphan and never directly talked to the Santo Family despite her never-ending support to Aryanna in previous life.
"You see this sculpture, right?" Kaptan asked as the jade glowed on the forehead of the sculpture.
Sagana nodded but her eyes looked confused.
Kaptan sighed and realized why Saman was deceived by Sicalac before.
Although Saman did something unpredictable, shocking and sinful betrayals before, that was because of Saman who trusted her parents so much and never knew the should-be boundary between a man and a woman.
"This sculpture has the ability to detect the amount of concentration of Divine Bloodline of each descendants"
" We put divine blessing in our sculpture and that divine blessing can only be obtained by our descendants"
"Each Divine Being has its own kind of Divine blessing that is exclusively belong to him and can only be obtained through bloodline"
"The more concentrated the bloodline is, the purer the bloodline"
"The purer the bloodline, the higher the Divine blessing to obtain"
Kaptan patiently answered every questions or Sagana which helped Sagana the most, especially the situation between Aryanna and her.
"What if, a stranger dropped a blood. What would happen?" Sagana asked as she remembered that Aryanna was abandoned by the Santo Family after knowing that Aryanna was not belong to their family.
"Hmmm... this doesn't happen before because we specifically emphasized to our first generation descendants that there should be no other stains of blood on our sculpture and no Divine Beings know what will happen"
If Kaptan had a body, Sagana surely seen him shrugging his shoulders.
Sagana pouted and complained, "Aren't the Divine Beings omnipotent?" as she asked.
Kaptan was left speechless by his descendant asking for a yard after taking an inch.
"Yes but only limited to the ability we have" Kaptan's eyes dimmed as he specifically doesn't want a greedy descendant.
"Oh Kaptan, Our Supreme Being! I'm not greedy. It just... it's already on our bones to believe that our God can do everything for us" Sagana said coquettishly as she tried calming down the God in front of her.
"Humph! If we have that ability, do you think that we even need to let our creations and descendants to thrive on their own?"
Kaptan was annoyed but at the same time, realized that Sagana's words are not entirely wrong.
Kaptan and Sagana talked almost at night. The mortal kept asking while the voice in the jade was answering.
Meanwhile, on the mansion of Santo Family. It was still 10 o'clock in the evening before Aryanna's official birthday celebration.
Aryanna already have done her preparation and was waiting for the midnight time to start the 'Dance Under The Moonlight' portion of the celebration.
"Hello?" Aryanna answered the phone call after she used her phone to look on her social media accounts.
"Are you Aryanna?" a robotic voice sounded from the other side of the phone. It was so obvious that the caller was using a voice changer device.
Aryanna frowned and checked again the phone number of the caller.
"Who are you?" Aryanna asked as she put down the other things she focused with and carefully listened to the voice from the other side.
"There is no need for you to know who I am. I am just informing you that this is start of your nightmare" the robotic voice answered and laughed maniacally which frightened Aryanna very much and thrown out her phone subconsciously.
Aryanna patted her chest as her ears could still hear the laughs of the caller even without the phone.
"D*mn! Who is pranking me?!" she exclaimed as she was sweating on her forehead.
"Aryanna, are you okay?" a man's voice sounded from behind the door of her bedroom.
"I'm okay, Brother Joseph" Aryanna said as she tried to lower her voice in order not to make her brother be suspicious.
"Oh. Then, prepare yourself. You need to go down because the announcer will call out your name later" Joseph reminded her and left.
Her surrounding turned silent and Aryanna took her time to adjust her mood.
