Chapter 107 - My Origin: Part One

"Oh good heavens, it's so good to be back home," Pana giggles as she stretches herself. I didn't realize she missed home that much.

"You miss here that much huh?" I teased as we walk to the entrance of the palace.

"No my princess, I was just saying..." she whispered as I laugh holding Barbara and Barbie in my hands.

"My darling princess here you are," grandma hissed as she pulled me for a hug. 

"Grandma I miss you too," I whimpered.

"Welcome back your royal highness," the two princes greeted, I smiled at prince Assin rolling my eyes at prince Asher as he chuckled. 

"See, how my lovely great-grandchildren are?" she mumbled as she look down at Barbara and Barbie who was hiding behind me.

"How noble of you to adopt this lovely twin my dear, oh you are just like your mother so kind-hearted," she hissed looking at Pana most especially as the smile fade away from my face gradually. who told her I adopted my babies.

Zenab looks over at my end and shakes his head, then I understood gossip spreads like wide fire in the palace. it is impossible to get pregnant and have my babies as tall as a 3-year-old child when I left Zamuniland less than a year ago.

so I let that lie slide. Pana understood what grandma meant right away.

"See uncle Zenab got you a present," Zenab whispered bending to lock a bracelet on their hands. one look at it and I knew what it is.

"Pana please take the twins inside, and get them settled," I pout staring at Zenab angrily. Zenab dismissed everyone around now it was left with just the three of us.

"I won't have you treat my children like some kind of freak okay, I have them under control," I roar angrily lowering my voice.

"Calm down Nancy, like it or not they are my nieces and I love them the say way you do, Roland called me before you guys got here, he is worried about their identity causing a stare in the palace, he thinks casting a spell will be the right thing to do but they have irreversible consequences," he whispered.

"The bracelet will keep them from getting out of control like what happened at the province," Zenab added.

"How did you...?" I grumble with my eyes wide open.

"It doesn't matter how I found out, think about it and get back to Roland if he should cast the spell of not," he mumbled turning his back to leave as I was lost in my thought.

I don't the twin to be unhappy because they are living a lie like Mr. Astrid's daughter. 

"That's enough thinking my dear, now that you are home, grandma will take care of everything," Grandma whispered.

"No grandma, now I want to know every single thing about our origin, who are we, grandma?" I scowl turning to face her. Grandma's face had an innocent expression of not knowing what I was talking about I wasn't going to buy it anyway.

"Nancy dear, I don't understand your question?" Grandma replied with a smile, already knowing she was going to say that. I glare at her and she could tell from my eyes I wasn't going to let it slide.

"Walk with me," she grins holding my hand as she leads the way to her private chamber. 

"Have a seat, my dear, so you figure it out, I was told the seal was opened for you but you couldn't handle the truth what made you think you can handle the truth now?" Grandma asks with a sweet smile. 

"Grandma now I want to know everything about it," I muttered taking a seat, I should be ready for whatever grandma has to say even though I already feel I have a fair idea but even what I know makes me terrified.

"Nancy, my dear you are human born of a human and that is all there is to know about your origin," Grandma whispers holding my hands.

"Grandma, come on you don't expect me to believe that do you?" I whispered jumping on my feet as my eyes turned red.

"Well I suppose you're talking about your powers, your strength, and what happened at the grand hall the other day?" grandma mumbles staring at me with confusion all over my face.

"Exactly!" I said as grandma walks to the table after pouring herself a glass of water and clutching it close to her chest. She turns to look at me as she drinks her water and sets the cup back on the table.

"Do you want to drink some water?" She asked me.

"Come on Grandma tell me what is going on I don't want to drink water," I whispered as she pours me a glass of water and hands it over to me.

After stumbling back she looked up at my face, I can see you are very confused right now but will you just relax for a second and I'll tell you a story," grandma whispered I could only wait to hear what this story is about and if it has the answers I'm looking for.

"A story grandma?" I muttered taking a slip of the glass of water.

"Yes my dear a story," she said as I walk over to the table to place the glass down.

"Now listen to the story," she said as she taps on the bed asking me to seat beside her. I obeyed her as she begins the story 

"Many years ago a goddess decided to make a visit to the human world while she was taking her usual stroll among humans, this goddess took notice of a handsome young man," she said taking a look at my face. I suppose that goddess was her and the young handsome man was my grandfather.

She sighed before continuing to speak. I was losing my patience.

"Grandma, what happened then?" I hissed.

"At first the goddess wanted to know how it feels like to live among humans, so she broke the protocols and rules she made just so he can be with this handsome man," grandma whispers as I stare into her eyes for a few moments before her face hardened.  Did she regret her decision? 

"Will you let me finish, the gaze in your beamer eyes is making me worried," Grandma said looking up at my confused face.

"Alright finish,"

"So I can continue," she whispered as grandma continues to tell her story.

"Deep down she always knew the relationship would never last when she realized she had fallen in love with the human,  which wasn't supposed to be. She tried to do whatever it took to stay away from him.

He then discovered her secret because she was starting to behave like a human and obviously he could tell.

When her secret was out she found a way for them to be together transforming herself into another human body and live here on earth like a normal human being." Grandma said looking at me.

"Yes I am the moon goddess but I became a human even though I still possess my powers, I was a human when I gave birth to your mother and your mother is a human when she gave birth to you, so as I said before I wasn't lying you are human,"  Grandma narrated.

"Seriously grandma," I murmured shooting a glare to grandma who still wore the same smiling face.

"So Grandma if I'm human how do you explain the light hue? how was I able to go on the moon that is not something humans can do?" I asked adjusting myself on the bed.

"Yes my dear that is the big question and the only answer to that is for you to find out." Grandma grins setting her hands on mine.

"My family wasn't happy about my decision, I was supposed to be the leader and the righteous ones among our species. I was supposed to look after the creatures but instead, I choose to live happily in the human world so technically as long as I'm still here I have been kicked off my position as the moon goddess which is exactly not comforting," grandma muttered as my face stirs up confusion.

"I don't understand anything so if you have been ripped off your position as the moon goddess, who is the new goddess?" I said with a sigh trying to understand everything.

"There is no moon goddess, I am the only one but it looks like during your birth someone kind of transferred some powers in you which I myself for some reason can't explain," grandma muttered breaking our eye contact.

"What does that mean?" I asked sharply.

"That means my dear you are been prepared to be the next moon goddess," grandma muttered. My eyes widened as she speaks. Me the moon goddess since no one can possess the powers of the moon goddess on the moon they decided to let me inherit it from grandma.

"Is that a bad thing?" I asked the first question that came to mind.

"It's not really a bad thing because you will have to live on the moon, you won't be allowed to stay here on earth," grandma explains.

No, I can't leave everything here and disappeared. 

"Do I have a choice?" I hissed.
