PTER TWENTY

MaDness

The men he was travelling with brought his body back with them. His horse had got its foot stuck in a hole and had broken his leg in the fall, Seth had broken his neck.

I washed his body and then we buried him in the hillside of his village, in was a sad affair, people came from miles around to pay their respects. I felt like I had broken my heart and was emotionally very fragile. I had trouble breathing and found I had a lot of pain in my chest. For someone who doesn’t need to breathe and can stop pain with a thought, I was in a bad way. I wanted to die too and couldn’t stop weeping; I avoided everyone for many months.

Seraph was a great support to me at this time and he was to take over as head man of our village, the village of Seth. He was showing excellent leadership skills. I worked beside him teaching him all the things a leader needs to know. He rewarded me with two more granddaughters and then settled down with the mother of his first child, the one called Rhea.

Rhea took over many of my duties in the garden and in the kitchen while I grieved for Seth and we were both happy to let that situation remain. She was firm and very fair and made excellent decisions. She had been trained as a housekeeper at her fathers farm and now she had matured, made an excellent head women and worked as an equal partner along side Seraph. Rhea wasn’t afraid of me and was quite willing to stand her ground with me if she thought it necessary. This always gets my respect, if nothing else. I have mentioned before that I have quite a temper and she got the short end of things often.

She and Seraph settled down together and it was all working fine. Then she got pregnant again and in the usual amount of time gave birth to a fiery little red haired boy called Cain.

My first grandson.

Cain became the light of my life, I loved him so much. Too much, I think looking back. But my life with my family was getting to be a bit awkward as I hadn’t aged. I tried putting grey streaks through my hair but people I had lived with all their short lives noticed that I didn’t change and would turn away from me as I walked through our village. I began to have to step back and let Seraph and Rhea do more of the running of things for people didn’t like someone not aging, they were superstitious and fingers began to point at me.

So I stayed at home and was down graded to looking after Seraph’s sixteen daughters and one son.

All had various shades of red hair and together caused so much disorder I had to rely on magic to keep everyone safe and out of mischief. I had to use every bit of my skills and talents keeping them focused and out of trouble; Seraph had been easy in comparison.
