Chapter 6 - Selene

In my forest, I’d been talking with the animals and gathering my strength. It was a strain to know about things before they happened. That wasn’t always the way. Often I didn’t know more than others did. But the tension in the kingdom was unmistakable, and I predicted what was to come.

Each faction vied for control, and battles had recently escalated. It was time to see for myself what transpired. Yet before I tended to war business, there was another matter that drew my attention. A recent incident flashed in my mind, alerting me to Mirela’s trauma.

I teleported to the castle city and found Mirela in the estate gardens with Calina. The two were pruning roses as if peace was at hand, and they required leisure activities to relieve boredom. That was only an illusion, since their mental state was quite different from that.

Calina turned and motioned for me to join them. “I do enjoy tending my rose garden. It’s a nice distraction.”

My sense of Calina was that she was stressed and suffered guilt over a recent event. I thought I knew which one but was anxious to hear all the details.

When Mirela saw me, she was exuberant. “Selene…I’m so glad you are here.” I thought she might hug me, but a look at my face held her back. I supposed that I wasn’t really the hugging type.

Mirela’s essence enveloped me. Since I was able to divine inner feelings, and a person’s true nature, I took the opportunity to learn more about her. I’d already witnessed her empathy with nature, which was evident once again as she stood near the roses.

I perceived that Mirela could control weather and had telepathic abilities. That was in addition to her vampiric powers. Yet her real strength went deeper. Her feminine qualities of gentleness, kindness, and compassion were more potent than she realized.

It didn’t escape my notice that Mirela looked vibrant, but I didn’t peek into her interlude with Draven. Some things were meant to be private. “Mirela…you’re looking well.”

Mirela held a red rose and sat on a wooden bench. “That is because of you.”

Being in a playful mood, I said, “Whatever do you mean?”

“Your necklace saved me, that’s what.” Mirela grasped the chain and let the pendant dangle before my eyes. “You knew very well what you were doing when you gave this to me.”

“I take it that you’ve used it?”

“I most certainly did,” Mirela said, then proceeded to tell me the tale in exquisite detail. “But I have a question.”

I sat on a bench across from her. “Certainly. What is it?”

Calina seemed interested now, so brushed the dirt off her hands and came to sit with us.

“Pegasus flew me to safety but immediately turned back into my necklace,” Mirela said. “Why is that?”

“The stallion is not a pet, you know.” I smiled at the very idea. “I created him to protect you, but his magic is limited. He will offer aid in an immediate crisis, but that is he extent of his power.
