Oh my. He’s getting. . .stronger. . .too. . .
“Father was only able to befriend one out of the four mage tribes. They called themselves Tribe Wind. The other three tribes were Flame, Stream, and Rock. Those three didn’t trust vampires enough to come near us.”
“Why not?” I’d never seen a mage before and only knew they existed from childhood songs and schoolbooks on species.
“Well, vampires and mages hate each other for many reasons, but in the end, it all stems from our religions.”
“How? Don’t they believe the same thing?”
“Vampire religious texts state that Ambi first made the mages because he was alone, but due to the mage’s selfishness, they ran away and never returned.” Ian held his hands in front of his face, pushed out dark claws, chuckled to himself, and then retracted them back into his flesh.
Oh shit. He has claws too. Well of course. . .he’s a. . .vampire king.
Ian continued, “Next our texts say that Ambi created vampires and made us dependent on his blood so that we would return to him. Then sun goddess showed up. They fell in love. And she made humans to feed vampires while the two gods explored the universe.”
“I know the story.”
“Yes. But the mages believe differently. They think the sun goddess Ressi was on the planet first. That she formed only humans from the soil and sun. At the time of creation, there were no elfkins or mages around.”
“What?” I twisted my lips.
Suddenly, something began to crawl beneath Ian’s scalp.
Then, I watched in pure horror as blond strands sprouted from his scalp, growing thicker and longer with every passing second.
Shit.
I inched back more.
Ian ran his fingers through the hair. “According to them, Ambi showed up, spotted Ressi, and was overtaken by her beauty. He desired her, but she refused him. And so one night when she was fast asleep among the stars, Ambi attacked and raped her for sixty days and nights, filling her body with seed.”
I held my hands to my chest. “They think Ambi raped Ressi?”
Ian nodded. “And when he finally finished, darkness bathed the world for seven days and vampires clawed their way out of her womb, spilling onto the earth.”
For some reason, I thought of the moons’ cycles. It took the two moons sixty days to complete their rotation around our planet Dos.
Darkness arrived for a full week during the last phase when neither moon could be seen in the sky.
On the first night after the week of darkness, the two moons reappeared and brightened the land.
Vampires celebrated their reappearance as Lunation Day.
“Then, do the mages celebrate Lunation Day?” I asked.
Ian chuckled as silky blond hair fell to his shoulders. “No, they hold candlelight ceremonies and do a whole lot of jumping around and praying, begging Ressi to come back.”
Where he once was a pale faced head, now his face began to reshape and from into a handsome man framed by a long blond hair.
He’s. . .good-looking.
I made myself concentrate on the conversation. “So, then I doubt the mages believe that the two gods ran off together on a lovely adventure.”
“Correct.” He continued to comb his fingers through his new blond hair. “I owe you so much for bringing me back to my rightful body.”
“Please, continue. We don’t have a lot of time.”
“Well, due to so much raping and cuming, Ambi fell asleep.” Ian laughed.
I frowned. “I don’t find any of this funny.”
“It’s not like this is a true story.” He shrugged his shoulders. “But I will continue with complete seriousness.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Ambi and his godly cock was exhausted, so Ressi seized the opportunity to kill him. But a god can’t be killed, only stopped by separating him. So, she filled him with light, which for some backwards mage reason, paralyzed him.” Ian strolled over to the porcelain sink next to me and trailed his fingers along the edge. “Then she split him in two halves with her teeth, rolled him into two balls, and trapped him among the stars.”
I eyed him. “The two moons are Ambi?”
“Yes. Apparently, the mages believe our glorious moons are two halves of a sadistic rapist that is forever trying to form back together again in the sky.”
Camille? Xander’s voice entered my head.
I raised one finger to my lips to tell Ian to be quiet.
Yes, I thought back to Xander.
Is everything okay? You’ve been gone for a long time.
Xander’s voice held concern.
I’m okay. I will be there soon. Have you gathered more information from your sister?
I hated lying to him, but I didn’t think Ian would be so forthcoming with information around Xander. And I doubted Xander would be willing to just stand by and watch as Ian drank from me.
Xander replied. Octavia knows nothing else. We’ll have to deal with my mother tomorrow night. She should have answers.
We’re done for now. I’ll get Ty and Victoria. Stay in the bathroom or go to the room with Octavia until I return.
