When I got home I met someone that was a guest at our house. She was a person I knew. Luna's mom Mariella was waiting for me in the guest room. She was sipping on tea and looked comfortable. She noticed I was here but took a moment to speak.
"Good to see Sephker can still work after being thrown around. Don't worry, I know what happened. I know my own daughter's heat cycle." Mariella finished speaking and the cup near her face was placed on a small plate. She looked up with an alluring presence.
"Uhh, can I ask for forgiveness?" I said in a desperate attempt to not be killed. Mariella seems like the woman that speaks nicely but under her words is a snake. A snake waiting to bite.
She gave a small laugh and wept some tears of laughter. "Silly Sephker, I wanted you to have fun with my daughter. For us animal people a push is needed to be with lovers." Mariella said with a bright smile. I see now. My suspicions were right. She does like me.
It makes me feel happy knowing someone like me is loved by a girl. I would reciprocate the love if it wasn't for my quest to become stronger. The one way I found to be stronger makes me unfaithful.
"I am happy she loves me or at least likes me. However, I am sorry I can't be with her." I said, giving her a small frown.
Mariella's mood sours and she starts sipping. "So why is that Mr.Pattycakes? You took her first head pat. And took her first time and yet you can't be with her? Kids are ruthless today?" Mariella said putting her cup of tea down hard. She looked at me with eyes like a snake. Watching her prey's every movement.
"I can't marry her. She might like me, but there are other men out there that would be better for her." I said trying to get onto a new subject.
"Let's talk about work. There have been." I tried speaking about my work slaying goblins, but Mariella cut me off.
"Do you like her? You haven't commented on that yet." She said, squinting her eyes. Those eyes are no longer like a snake's. This is more dangerous. Those eyes are like a vampire's waiting to sing fangs into me.
"I do. Regardless of that, I can't be with her. That is just how it is." I said aggressively. Not because I am mad. It was in fear. I don't know Luna's mom but her being older means she must have a lot more strength points.
"People with Influence are disgusting. You had fun with my girl and now you are refusing to tie the knot. I should have trusted Solar. Sleeping with a woman at a brothel." She said getting up in anger.
"You are free to think how you like. Everyone has a secret or two in this world." I turned around to face her. She stopped and looked at me with eyes full of anger.
"Or are you telling me you? The girl who let her daughter have fun with a brothel dweller. Has not even one secret she has kept hidden." When I finished speaking my mind Mariella left. I sat down on my couch in frustration.
I should have gone out and had fun. I need to focus on getting stronger fast. So strong that I can not focus on letting myself rely on the Cursed power. For starters, I hate to say it, but let's use the power to look for useful items.
