Soul of Stoneridge [BoyxBoy]

A goddess reborn

Standing in the bathroom looking at myself I realized that I still needed to go to school. First, though I needed to walk past my parents. I felt a confidence that I never knew I had, maybe it was the goddess in me. I felt as though people should judge these new looks, and I walked downstairs. My dad looked at me and recognition clicked in his eyes. He cleared his throat and my mom turned to look at him then at me. She gasped and fell to her knees.

"Kyan, please forgive us. We had forgotten everything about who we were. There was nothing we could have done." She cried from the floor. Confused, I didn't know what she was talking about. My dad joined her on the floor and bowed to me. Now I was beyond confused. That is until I opened my mouth.

"What happened wasn't your fault. Rise my children, I hid myself and Kyan from you so his powers would grow. Fret not this was my way to make us stronger." Paet stated. Confusion was still evident in my mind but it all cleared up when Paetial spoke again. "Kyan, your parents were from Paet as well. They were sent here with you when I found and named you my heir. It was to keep both you and I safe. For I reside inside you. People have been searching for our power for a long time. So, when I named the one and only heir it put you in danger. Thank you Kiaen and Rilana. You protected Kyan and I well."

The longer she spoke from my lips the more my mind cleared. While I was upset with my childhood I was more understanding of things. It made sense that my parents were from Paet as well. I guess the goddess part of me always knew that it wasn't their fault they treated me that way. These changes were a lot to take in. This was still the day after the eclipse and already I was a goddess.

"Kyan were so sorry we never told you of your home world Paet." My mom looked up at me.

"It's ok. It was for our safety and yours, I understand things clearer now." I whisper. I wonder if the goddess in me had any other changes beside the broken spell on my parents.

After the talk with my parents, I ate breakfast and made my way to school. As soon as I opened the door, a swarm of golden butterflies surrounded me. They had light glittered around the as they flew. I knew they meant me no harm, they were the same color as my hair and eyes. I think this would be a nice walk to school.

I felt all eyes on me as I walked in. Then I heard the whispers. They all talked about me, wondering if it was fake. They all thought I was trying to pretend to do this for a statement. I ignored them and walked to my locker. I saw Axil and Alora there waiting for me. The halls glowed with a soft golden light around me as I neared him. It was almost as bright inside as It was out when I reached him. Axil noticed the soft glow and looked up to see me. As I walked up to him his eyes were wide with awe. I knew I looked strange and I hoped this wouldn't change us.

"Can you see the glow?" I asked him. He looked at me confused so I took that as a no. Maybe I was the only one to see the glow. He leaned in and kissed me. It felt electrifying, kissing him today. I could feel all the warmth and wonder from his soul and it mixed with my own. I knew that whatever I had to do, if I kept the ones I loved safe I would do it. I felt the glow around me surround him and Alora as well. It was as if I put a spell of protection over them. The moment was ruined when one of my old bullies yelled out.

"So, you're not only a fucking faggot. You decided to dress like a bitch too?! Pathetic." He sneered.

I broke the kiss with Axil and looked him in the eyes. He was furious, but when he gazed at me he calmed down. Knowing that he wanted to say something I put my hand on his chest. It was time I started standing up for myself. If I am a goddess, it's best I started to act like one.

"Mind our tongue, boy." I struck back with just as much ferocity. "You speak to a goddess. Best to mind your place before it is taught." I didn't speak aloud but I knew he heard me. I felt the energy course through my veins. I looked down to see the light buzzing through my skin. I hoped he didn't catch the slip of my tongue. Unless Alanora told him, I am the heir to the goddess.

The area around me had lost its golden glow, it was now a deep red filled with my rage and anger. I knew I needed to hold it back, I didn't want to hurt anyone. As I looked at him I saw submission in his eyes. He walked up to me and bowed.

"What's your name?" I inquired. I didn't allow my face to show any emotion.

"My name is Drathaniel. Here on this planet I am know by Darius. Forgive me High Chair Kyan I didn't know it was you. Forgive my insolence." He was somber in his speech but he spoke back to me in the same manner.

It was unaware there were other inhabitants of Paet here. It was just as strange as to how he knew who I was. I felt a connection to him. I knew I hadn't seen him only a handful of times, usually with his fist in my face. I decided to ask Paetial how could this guy feel familiar to me.

"It is in me, as it is in you. We are connected to all the inhabitants of Paet. We feel their souls as if our own. He is a warrior, he was sent here to find you for High Chair Alanora. He is your protector bless him and allow him to rise." She was careful in her words.

"Rise young warrior. I believe you are here for me." I touched his forehead with my palm. I didn't know how to bless him so I just let my body take over. I felt the power again. It pulsed under my palm and a bright light broke from between us. As it died away I placed my hand on his shoulder.

He stood up a mark was on his forehead. I didn't recognize it immediately but it was my mark. The mark of the goddess. He bowed to me again. As he begun to stand up the light around me faded. I noticed we were still in the hallway. It seemed as if timed stopped right after he called me a fag. Instead of doing anything, I just looked at him. Understanding in both of our eyes. He walked toward me and laughed.

"Can't take a joke Kyan. Everyone else go away. I want to talk to my buddy here." With that everyone dispersed. Axil and Alora stayed though. They glared at Drathaniel unaware of his intentions. "Is it possible to talk without these humans here High Chair Kyan?" He asked, arms folded across his chest.

"If we speak, they must know the truth as well. They are trusted friends of mine. I have some where we can speak in private." I led them all to the empty music room.

As we sat down I explained to the three of them what happened the day of the eclipse. I went over everything Alanora said to me. I was the next High Chair to them. I never told them about Paetial. I felt that needed to be hidden until the time was right. I was afraid of the danger they would be in if I told them that I was the goddess. Just reborn.
