T he clock read only 3:00 a.m. when Serena awoke. She lifted her head softly to see Rion sleeping deeply and peacefully next to her. She wanted to reach over and touch him, but he looked so beautiful just sleeping so soundly, she didn’t want to disturb him. She quietly slipped from the sheets, pulled on some warm pink long johns that Rion had conjured for her earlier in the evening and quietly left the cool room in search of something hot to drink.

She quietly wandered down the hallway and then down the wide log stairs. Through large glass windows of the great room she could see snow falling heavily outside. The big fire was still burning itself out as Serena walked to the tall windows, thinking about the events of the past several weeks. She walked slowly, pensively, in front of the windows, thinking about all that Rion had told her; what she was, who she was; and who her own ancient people were.

Mostly, though, Serena thought about Rion. What an epic life his was, his family, their ancient history; and how tragic it all was becoming; and how no one on Earth even knew about it, cared, or even gave a damn.

She was not so much unsettled and unsure about Rion; she could easily spend the rest of her life with him. There was no denying they were attracted––but was it just genetics? Were they also naturally in love with each other? Natural. What did that even mean now that she knew the two of them might be part of some ancient prophecy? Maybe at some point they would be married, or whatever that meant in his world. In a way, she felt they already behaved and carried on as a couple, she already felt married to Rion. Would a ceremony just be a formality? She frowned. She always thought she had have a big wedding. Now she was discovering marriage didn’t mean that much in his culture.

But being with Rion meant more than just fitting into an ancient legacy and culture and family she still had very little knowledge of. The first time Rion actually made love to her, she would be changed. That thought alone raised bigger questions than she even knew how to deal with. She didn’t know if she even wanted to be “awakened” by his family’s genetics.

Still, she reminded herself, those genes were already hers, already within her and part of her, just dormant somehow. All Rion would be doing was just kindling something—something she already had, something she already was. Would she become superhuman like the old Bible stories told? Maybe what she needed to do was meet more of Rion’s family; to learn more about what it was like, what it meant to be no longer human—but a goddess.

Ughhh. Goddess. How sacrilegious was that conversation going to be when her family found out she wasn’t really Human, but a real-life ‘goddess’. Would they ever actually find out? Of course they’d find out at some point.
