Queen of Luna's

Chapter 9: All coming together

^^^Atarmi, the sun goddess^^^

•DESHEAYA'S POV•

I sighed as I plotted on the hard rock. The birds chirping as they chase each other. I straighten my back in proper sitting position. I push myself to get up and undress. My hair was unbrushed and my clothes became rugged. But what I still had, I took off.

Just a couple hours earlier jess woke me up at what felt like 7:00am telling me I had to bathe. She said she found a waterfall near and that I should take advantage of the opportunity and so she convinced me.

Still half asleep, though, I began to peal all of it off my filthy body as I scouted my surroundings like a hawk. I never did trust the open forest. Especially at a waterfall as breathtaking as this!

The boulders framed and made up the waterfall, all slippery from the moss that the crystal water splashed over for years. The waterfall was wide and tall, vines cascade all over the trees beside it. The Aqua water at the pool of the waterfall matched the forest colors.

The weather was pleasant a slight breeze blew in this summer day. I could hardly believe how time flew by. The time we walked felt like we've been walking for ages but was only a few months! I felt a connection with the forest with me being a werewolf and all. I wonder what exactly am I?

Just as I finished my thought I feel a pull come from the inside. I've never felt this before and made a mental note that I'd have to work to get it under control. I look down at my stone, I gasp!

It turned gold than wine-purple than white than royal blue, and finally settled on turquoise. My original color. My eyebrows came together my expression clearly confused. "What's going on?" Confused, I sit back on the bolder that I pushed myself off of.

The force of the pull had me leaping off and my breath increasing. It felt as though a part of me was separating itself from me and I panicked. The pull and the force of it increased to its breaking point. It became to much and just as it began to be to much to bare I let out a bloodshed scream and it was gone.

Now noticing that I was kneeling hunched over one arm pressed against my chest and the other stretched out behind me, palm facing downward on the bolder with my claw extended and claw marks where I had clawed the bolder in pain.

My breath steadily went back to normal and I noticed the birds stopped chirping. I glance up and I see whom Artemis called Atarmi standing in a white gown with her eyes peacefully closed. She takes a deep breath as she widens her arms away from her body with her palms facing me. She opens her eyes and looks straight at me as if she knew where and who I was.

Her eyes and expression became full of sympathy she tilted her head and smiled kindly. "Hello young cub. I'm sorry I caused you pain but I promise it will not hurt as much as it did today because you'd get used to me doing this." Her smile stayed ever so kindly.

I stand up slowly and take a deep breath. This has been the first time I'd seen her in person. The other time was with Artemis but Atarmi was invisible so I couldn't see her. But this time! She was so breathtaking I had to look away just to remember to breath.

Guessing that I had an offended look on my face because Atarmi's voice changed. "I am the only one who will NEVER bow to you. Remember that, young cub!" She proclaimed with so much power that for the first time in my life I felt small and powerless.

"I- I'm sorry!" I quickly bowed in submission "I didn't and will not expect you to do so, my goddess!" My pulse rose and my body began to shake in fear of what she would do to me. The tension thick in the air seemed to flutter away but I kept my head bowed and my eyes squeezed tightly shut.
