Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Secret Revealed

At Lystra

Diana has taken control, almost everyone in the Lystra kingdom serves her. It's now mandatory that every family has her idol or image. Many children and teens are being taught dark magic and arts, Lystra now owns a school for wizards and wizardry, called 'The wits high'.

Diana rules Lystra in the form of Cynthia, she possesses Cynthia and takes control of the kingdom. Duren, sadly, just holds the title of kingship for nothing. He's regarded as king but his mother runs the affair of the kingdom.

Cynthia and Duren are deeply in love with each other.

It's been months now, Duren is still under the spell of Cynthia, he still thinks he's married to Alysia. Cynthia planned to release him from her spell and reveal that she's pregnant with his baby

They are both in the room, Duren's head is rested on Cynthia's laps

Cynthia: Duren darling, you know I love you, sincerely

Duren: Of Course dear, and I love you too

Cynthia: Partners shouldn't be keeping things from each other. I need to tell you something, but first of all promise not to get mad at me

Duren: Hmm (gets up and faces her) Alright, beautiful sweetheart, I promise

Cynthia removes the spell from him

Duren: What am I doing here? No, more like what are you doing here in my room!

Cynthia: We are married now

Duren: What? How? When?

Cynthia: During your Coronation. I spelled you, I'm sorry. (Bows her head) I just fell seriously in love with you. I love you with all my heart

Duren: You spelled me! Are you a witch??

Cynthia: No! I can't be brought down to the level of a witch. Don't call me that, next time. I am far above a witch!

Duren: (shocked) then what are you?!

Cynthia: I'm a goddess

Duren: What?! All makes sense. Cynthia, goddess of the moon. Your perpetual beauty. All makes sense.

Cynthia: I'm sorry, you can't reject me any longer. I'm already pregnant with your child

Duren: What? How can you, a goddess of thousands of years old be pregnant for an eighteen years old man?

Cynthia: I don't like being called old. I don't age! And ofcourse I can get pregnant. You have a tarse that is in good health and functions well, I am a woman, so nature took its cause

Duren: Oh my(face palms himself) oh my! Does Mom know about this

Cynthia: The whole kingdom knows you are married to me.

Duren: Hmm.

Then I guess I have to accept you. I already copulated with you. I gave you my virginität.

We are soul bounded, nothing is to be done

Cynthia: Great!

Duren: But my Alysia, I loved her, too bad I can't get her anymore. Who would accept a married man with an unborn supernatural child

Cynthia: I'm sorry (pretends to cry)

Duren: No, It's fine. We just weren't meant to be together. (Hugs Cynthia)

Cynthia: I love you

Duren: I guess, same

At Oberon

Postinur is seen staring at Alysia, who has been in a coma for months now. Just a few weeks to her coming of age, she will wake up soon. He kissed her on the forehead and smiled to himself, she has become beautiful these months even while in coma, her beauty radiates. Such young beauty.

Talking about beauty, his mom, Postinur, hasn't gone to see his mom for months now. It's been a long while, not bad to see her face again, her non aging and forever beautiful face. He definitely got his handsomeness from his mother, she shared her beauty with him. Then he got his father's physique. Oh, how he misses his father, he had died while resting in his Chambers, died so young, his father wasn't really old when he died, he was just above forty or so. Oh how he wished his father was a ghost like him, he wouldn't be lonely, his father had crossed to the beyond. Farewell great Dad

Now, it's time to see his mother again.

At Lystra

Postinur appears at his mother's throne room and sees her entering the throne room, just exactly when he appeared. But something happened.

Queen Hippolita/Diana: Today was a rough day. This body is exhausted, it needs rest. I will leave you and return when needed. (Has a strong feeling) Some spirit is here. Hmmm (feels that it's Postinur) I will leave now (leaves the body and vanished into thin air)

Postinur: (shocked) What..just.. happened!!

Queen Hippolita: Who's there

Postinur: (Reveals himself) Mother!

Queen Hippolita: P...ppp.. Postinur?!?

Postinur: What did I just see?

Queen Hippolita: You didn't cross to the beyond? You are a ghost!

Postinur: Yes, I'm a ghost, as you can see

Queen Hippolita: Oh son, I miss you. Can I hug you since you revealed yourself? I can touch you right?

Postinur: I asked a question. What just happened? What did I see (Queen Hippolita becomes silent) Answer me!!

Queen Hippolita: No need to scream please. I will tell you everything.

Postinur: Begin!

Queen Hippolita: It's a long time ago. (Flash back) I was a young girl. My mother was a die-hard worshiper of Diana. I took it from her, she gave beauty to us and prolonged our days on earth as far as we do her wishes. She's the goddess of wildlife and an emblem of chastity. She hates immoral behaviors. My mom copulated with my dad's brother even when married to my dad. That angered Diana and she struck my mom dead. Diana hates immorality.

That made me fear Diana. I worshiped her faithfully. One day she told me she had plans for me and promised to make me the most beautiful, If I follow her plans. She made me marry your Dad and I fell seriously in love with him

But (breaks down in tears)

Postinur: But what!

Queen Hippolita: She killed your father on my approval

Postinur: What? Why? You were married to Dad, no immorality there!

Queen Hippolita: (cries) She said he's too strong to be manipulated, she wanted to rule Lystra. So she killed him while he was asleep. I watched in fear and tears. It was so painful but I had to allow it.

You somehow died years later, for no known cause. She then moved the manipulation to your brother, using Cynthia, the goddess of moon, who easily agreed because she fell for your brother. (Cries)

Postinur: All these, mother. All these happened while you watched? Mother!

Queen Hippolita: I'm so sorry son. I can't go against Diana, she will kill me!

Postinur: What's the point of living? After ruining your family. Why will you even dedicate yourself to a goddess or any deity at all!

Queen Hippolita: I'm sorry.

Please help Postinur. Find a way to stop all these. I will soon die, I have told you everything, Diana will surely kill me. She will just turn to me and rule the kingdom. Please save this kingdom after my death

Postinur: Oh mother, the death you were afraid of is already at your door! (Tears fall from his eyes)

Queen Hippolita: I don't regret dying now, Postinur. I have told someone everything. I told you and I trust you will handle everything. You are already dead, she can't have power over you.

I'm just happy son, (smiles amidst tears) I get to see you before I die and cross to the beyond. Just tell your brother to be a great ruler while you defeat Diana and make him divorce Cynthia or something. Those goddesses are evil. (Sobs) Come closer son (Hugs and kiss him) I will be gone any moment from now, I feel sleepy, She will take me from my sleep.

Please leave before she comes.

I love you son. And good luck in all you do from now on

Postinur: I love you too mother

Queen Hippolita: Go now please. The sleep is overtaking me. She will be here any moment from now. (Postinur disappears). I'm sorry My love, King of my heart and Father of my children. I'm coming to meet you now. I just hope you forgive me and take me with you hands wide open (falls asleep)
