Chapter 26: Daughter of darkness

My wings! I’d almost forgotten about those. They’re really hard for me to see in the daylight, but I can see a slight shadow even now. Come to think of it, when we went to school …was that only this morning? Hmmm. When we went to school this morning, I could see slight shadows at my side even then.

“I can see them because of my true seeing. Can’t I?” I ask Pulania. Susan is talking to Gil off to the side, and I’ve been visibly admiring the shadows around my back.

“I guess so, your wings may have come out at the same time. What happened to you? How did you come into these powers. I guess they’re just latent, do you think it’s from being in the presence of Susan?”

“No…”

“It’s because Gaea came and stole some of her blood,” Gil interrupts.

“What?” Pulania asks.

“Gaea came by, grew a few plants, and gave Amura some powers.”

Now, Pulania’s mouth is open, but as she closes it I can see a slight quiver, and then her hand goes up to her eye. Oh, shite, that’s right Gaea is Pulania’s mother, and it’s probably been a very long time since she’s seen her, if she’s ever seen her at all.

“She said I was to look after her children, both corrupt and pure.”

There are tears welling in Pulania’s eyes again. “Did she? Did she, really?”

“Yes, those were her words.”

“Well, no guesses about who the corrupt one is,” she giggles through her tears.

But, I grimace at that. “Why? Why is that? Why are we in a dark coven, Pulania? If you’re a daughter of Gaea, shouldn’t we have been white?”

“Oh sweetie,” she begins, and her hand brushes some hair from my eyes, “don’t take this the wrong way, but it was because of you.”

“Because of me?” I start.

“Yes, Amura. It was my fault, really, for falling in love with an angel.”

“The angel of death, Samael?”

She nods her head, “Samael, is a dark angel, my love. The only one. He didn’t know who I was, because the white coven who brought me into this world kept my magik hidden from him. He only knew that I was immune to death, he saw me many times over the years, with everyone I ever knew passing away around me while I didn’t age. It must have been a strong attraction for the angel of death to finally meet a woman who wouldn’t die. He revealed his presence to me whenever I grieved for one of my coven. We fell in love, that was my corruption as a daughter of Gaea, my descent to dust. I was meant to have a mortal child, but instead, I conceived you, the daughter of an angel.”

My eyes go wide as I remember Teddy saying that a child had been born of an angel once before… it was me!

Pulania is sighing. “Samael is more than an ordinary angel. As the angel of death he carries darkness, Amura, and you’ve inherited some of that darkness.
