Chapter 22

Making Michel's Day

I sat in the kitchen on my own for a good hour, not moving, not really thinking, just sinking into myself. It's not a healthy place to be, it's depressive and addictive, the longer you allow yourself to wallow, the harder it is to claw your way out of the pit.

The whirring of the shutters rising for the night broke the spell and watching the blurry shadows of Michel's guards moving through the back yard to position themselves around the property sent cognitive thought tumbling back in. This wasn't all about me. It was high time I stopped acting so precious and started putting the Prophesy ahead of my feelings, started acting like a saviour of the world should.

I laughed a little to myself then. I'd always had tremendous trouble accepting the saviour of the world thing. I mean, I was raised on a farm in rural New Zealand, I am a bank teller by profession, an unclaimed Nosferatin who never knew her parents and now I was meant to save the world from the Dark.

I'd met the Queen of Darkness once, she's impressive. It's not like you can honestly believe you can come up against a goddess and win, it takes an enormous leap of faith, or a huge ego. Neither of which I have in abundance. But, I do believe in Nut. Maybe not at first, but having met her, having had her interfere and guide me, having seen the staunch belief in Nero's eyes, I have come to trust that Nut must know more than me. I have come to trust Nut, my goddess.

Nero was the one to introduce me to the story of my goddess. He told me of the fact that we Nosferatin, are the Children of Nut. It goes something like this: Thoth, the God of Wisdom and Knowledge once prophesied a child would be born to Nut who would become Pharaoh after Ra. It was told that she had five children, Osiris was the first born and it was proclaimed to the heavens on his birth, 'The Lord of All comes forth into the Light!' We are descended from Osiris, Nut's first born son. We are the Children of Light.

It all sounded pretty much hokey nonsense to me when I first heard it, then I met Nut herself. It's hard to disbelieve something when you are presented with them in person.

But, who the Queen of Darkness is, I don't know. I have always just assumed she was another goddess. She looked pretty similar to Nut and part of me wonders now if she is the descendant of another of Nut's children. If Osiris was the Lord of Light, then maybe there was a Lord of Dark too. I'd have to ask Amisi.

All this deep thinking was giving me a headache. I stood stiffly and stretched and went to make a cup of coffee. Nothing like caffeine to scare away a headache before it begins.

So, I was a tool of the
