Goddess Secret

Chapter 2-Meeting

Destinia POV

I step inside the brightly lit entrance, as the current Goddess Adelaide makes her way down the stairs with a bright smile plastered across her face. "Cher, mon Dieu look at you"(darling/dear my god) Adelaides says with her thick cajun accent. Adelaide is absolutely gorgeous for however many thousands of years old she is now. With her long jet black curly hair, her olive-colored skin, and brown chocolate-colored eyes she is just the epitome of exotic and beautiful.

I step into her warm embrace and hug her tightly, I haven't been home in so long and it has been so lonely. "Mère, I have missed you so much," I say with a slight tremble in my voice, "I know I have been gone for the past 3 years, and I know I should have been here training to take over but it was just hard to be around after we lost Isadora. I couldn't be here and pretend that life was worth living or the pain wasn't real, and seeing everyone else go on day and after and not the feel pain and heartbreak I was going through was too much." my voice breaks and I pull away from my mother's embrace.

Adelaide touches my face gently "We all miss her, she was my child and my life as well do not think you are the only one that grieves. This wallowing and festering can only turn into darkness and evil if you don't stop." I force a tight smile and pull my pack tighter on my should, "I need to get to my room to unpack and prepare for the couples coming tomorrow to meet their soul bonds, if you need me you know where I will be." I turn to head upstairs to the sanctuary, I beg for and need at this moment, I hear my mother clear her throat and she turns to look at me "Don' forget our people will be depending on you after tomorrow night, you need to get the maudit out of you tonight." (evil) Adelaide says before she walks back into her office and shuts the door.

I drop my bag on the bed and pick Ambrosia up carefully and set her down so she can stretch her legs. "Well here we are, I know this isn't exactly ideal but we couldn't keep avoiding it. It isn't exactly like I could put off taking my place as the new Goddess." I look down at Ambrosia and smile. Ambrosia rubs against my legs, her white fur almost giving off a silver glow and her purple eyes staring up at me letting me know she understands why they had to come back. I know tomorrow all the supernaturals from all the realms that had not found their soul bonds would be here in the hopes their other half would be here, I was lucky in the fact that as the new Goddess I got the choice to choose my match when I was ready and with the mess, I had caused myself I was lucky I didn't have one lined up.

I pull an onyx stone from my bag and place it on the table and sit in front of it I hadn't scryed in so long, I was worried I might have lost my touch. Scrying is used to be able to see glimpses of the future, they are fuzzy within the stones, but if you train hard enough you can make them out well enough to focus on them and see the answers to your questions. I needed to see if I could see any part of my future at the moment, my stomach was in knots as I soft-focused behind the stone and let my questions swirl around my mind blocking out the world around me. I could start to slowly see small fuzzy images forming in the stone, but I couldn't fully make them out they were two large imposing men. Their features slowly started to come into focus more, a gasp left my mouth they were the leaders of two different orders. One was the leader of the demons of wrath, he was known to be a heartless man. Well if demons did indeed have hearts I chuckle to myself. The other was one of the celestial gods who had been searing for his soul half for many years. Why were these men showing up in my future, unless they would be a part of helping me achieve my end goal possibly?

I shake my head and the visions leave the stone, I stand up and head towards the shower. Ambrosia is already asleep on the pillow at the head of the bed, probably very happy to no longer be sleeping in a tiny cabin in the middle of nowhere. Tomorrow would be an extremely long and exhausting day hosting pretty much the entire supernatural world in hopes that everyone that comes finds their soul bond. It never goes easy, but I could hope.
