Chapter 51: “”… second he met you five million years
ago…”
The tall female had dark colored skin, and dual-colored eyes, the inner rings were violet and the outer rings molten silver. What should have been the whites of her eyes, were black. There were shiny miniscule flecks shining from the black, like her eyes held the stars.
Her hair trailed onto the ground and was white with sparkling silver strands here and there. The white of her hair seemed to glow with light and it floated around her like it was a cloud. Her clothing looked like a copy of Selena’s, only the color was white and not black.
The female had the same bracers and a crown, but there were details that were different. The center of the crown was a diamond shape to accommodate the crescent moon with an eight point star in its mouth. Around her neck was a thick necklace that mirrored Xena’s collar, it sat over her collarbone with the crescent moon and star in the middle.

blue diamonds.
The large wolf’s fur was the darkest of blacks, no other color shone through his fur. His eyes were dual colored, the inner ring a crystal blue, the outer ring a molten silver. Like the female, what was supposed to be the white of his eyes was black, and looked like it held the
stars.
Around his neck was a thick silver chain, a silver disk hanging from it. On the disk was the
same crescent moon and star that was on the female’s jewelry, surrounded by a circle of
intricate knots. Around the wolf’s wrists and ankles, he wore the same bracers as the female.
“Let me introduce myself.” The female’s beautiful voice echoed across her space with every word she spoke. “I am the Moon Goddess Arianrhod, and this is my mate and consort Beast God Cernunnos.”
Xena bowed her head, Selena knelt on the ground and bowed her head. Alora was too stunned to do anything but stand there frozen, mentally unable to process what was going,
: **… second he met you five million years ago…**
on right now. Alora felt so very small compared to these two beings and wondered why they
were here,
“Rise Xena and Selena, you do not need to bow to us.” Cernunnos’s deep baritone vibrating around them. “You have suffered much granddaughter and we failed to protect you from having to go through such tribulations.”
Xena lifted her head, and Selena looked up in surprise while still kneeling on the ground. Alora bent down and helped Selena rise to her feet. It was after the repeated word granddaughter that Alora realized the bone structure and features of the female was nearly the same as her and Selena’s. The female’s features were only a little sharper and more refined.
“I see you are now noticing the similarities between us.” Arianrhod’s voice echoed musically across their space. “You have been reincarnated many times, you and your mate, but you are still our granddaughter.”
Being reincarnated was not that big a deal for Alora, after all that was a part of their lore. The two gods telling them they were their granddaughter, did not affect Alora as much as it should have. What affected Alora was Arianrhod’s mention of their mate, as they no longer had one.
“We were rejected by our mate this morning…and returned his rejection.” Alora told them, her voice sad.
Cernunnos scoffed. “That pup was not the mate we talk of, that boy was in need of some help. You each became the tool the other needed to break the spells the both of you were under.”
Alora looked at them, reluctant to let herself hope just yet. “So…we still have a mate?”
Arianrhod nodded her head, a warm and gentle smile on her lips. “Yes, you have a mate, and your true mate will be coming back home to you soon.”
… second he met you five million years ago…”*
Alora felt hope rush through her, they had a mate, and their true mate would return home soon. That thought made Alora pause, ‘return home soon.’ It sparked inside her heart again, the wish Alora had suppressed over and over again for years.
“Our true mate…will you tell me who they are?” Alora asked, her heart felt like it was being squeezed making it hard to breathe.
“In your heart you already know who your mate is. The male has been by your side for most of your current reincarnation. Only leaving your side to receive more training elsewhere. The male still watches over you even while miles from you. His two-legged form currently goes by the name Damien, while his wolf still goes by the name Zane.”
Alora staggered under the weight of her relief, she would no longer have to suppress her true feelings for Damien any longer. ‘Does he know?” Alora did not realize she voiced this. question aloud till she received a response.
“He knows.” Cernunnos said, his tone dry. “Just as he knew you were his the second he met you five million years ago. The two of you have had an unbreakable bond since and have reincarnated together every two hundred and fifty thousand years.”
“We reincarnate every two hundred and fifty thousand years?” Alora couldn’t believe it.
“This is your twentieth successful reincarnation, you have had a few false starts to it over the last two hundred years. The Black Magic Coven kept doing away with you, before you could reach your majority.” Arianrhod told them.
“Now you have reached your majority and the spell binding your power has been broken. This means, things in this space need to expand.” Cernunnos said.
The ground vibrated under their feet, and Alora, Selena and Xena started to look at each other with wide eyes. A rustle of leaves had them looking back at the willow. The willow is bigger, not just taller, but also wider, the branches and vines getting longer keeping in proportion with the tree.

Chapter 51: “… second he met you five million years ago…”
The ground next to the white and black bookshelves expanded, and more black and white. bookshelves appeared. There were now double rows of black and white bookshelves separated by the single rows of silver shelves. Then even more shelves appeared, making each row of shelves twenty deep.
The pond expanded and the bridge widened and lengthened, it was like the space was changing to reflect all of their reincarnations. A large amount of power Alora had never felt before filled their space and then her. Alora felt as if the power was singing through her
veins.
For Selena, it was like being a withered plant who was suddenly brought back to life. The rest of the weakness that had remained in her after years of being bound, washed away with the rush of power. For Xena it was like a missing piece of her snapped into place and everything felt right where it had not before.
Xena stood and shook her fur out, then it was like it was glowing with tiny sparkling stars. embedded in the white and black strands. Selena stretched gracefully, almost like she was a blooming flower. Then she took a seat…in the air near Alora’s shoulder.
Alora was glad to note there was more on her bottom half than just the skirt. All of Selena’s intimate areas were covered as she sat lotus style in the air. A crystal ball appeared in front of Selena, hovering above her lap. The crystal ball confused Alora because she associated crystal balls with Witches.
“Why do you have a crystal ball, don’t only witches use those?” Alora asked.
Selena shook her head. “Crystal balls are not only used by Witches, but they were originally used by the Sidhe. They are a tool for storing magic and scrying. As a Sprite is at magic user like many supernatural species, I am able to use the crystal ball for both.” she explained in a soft musical voice accompanied by the sound of thousands of tiny bells. tinkling.
“Ah,” Alora said, then felt like this was something she had already known, but for some reason had forgotten.
… second he met you five million years ago…”
“You are confused, feeling like this was something you already knew.” Arianrhod said “That is because you did. The repeated interruption of your reincarnation over the last two hundred years, combined with that binding spell, has caused you to lose the memories of your past selves. They are not permanently gone and eventually they all will return.”
Alora was stunned, and there were suddenly a lot of questions she wanted to ask. Unfortunately, before she could ask one of her rapidly forming questions, Cernunnos spoke.
“Our time here is up, it is time for you to wake up.” Cernunnos told them.
“We will visit you again. There is more you need to know, but now is not the time.” Arianrhod said “We love you granddaughter, goodbye.”
Then with a gush of wind they were gone. The sky returned to being one half sun and the other half moon. The trees and grass and flowers returned to their previous coloring and no longer glowed.
