Chapter 10

HEIR

My child don't fear what you see. I promised to care for you and Amon and this gift I will be passing on to you will be a great gift. You have frightened your loved ones they almost interrupted the ceremony but Mother Earth has rooted and shut their voices so we may continue…

Robin wasn't sure if to feel fear or what. For some reason she sensed that she was in no danger but something just wasn't right. The room had come alive with all the portraits looking at her as they chanted in a strange language… somehow the language seemed familiar.

The Condesa began to raise her voice as she said, "From the Heavens to depths of the Earth, our knowledge is without time. We know of many gods that had lived. We call on now the one god that knows like no other the pain and suffering of all humanity… Mother Earth! We bring before your presence tonight Eve. The Eve for all Witches; She is pure of heart and soul… her eyes reflect the innocence and kindness that you so sought for countless ages. I Nohemí your faithful servant and carrier of the book of knowledge have found my heir I beg thee to pass my secrets to her for my time is soon to come… My clan will die after I have passed away… there is no one else… So I have found one that I truly believe you will love more than any of my beloved foremothers. She will carry on the legacy to her children and her children's children. I have seen it she is destined for great things. This I know…."

A sudden explosion happened as a cloud of smoke cleared the bright light that was piercing through it began to shape into a form of a woman. Amon and Nagira didn't know what to make of it. The beauty of this mystical image was beautiful and did not appear to be evil. Regardless Amon fought to free himself but nothing he did worked. Robin was in a trance state she sensed Amon presence but was unable to will herself to turn around and face him. Her attention was focused on the beautiful glowing woman who had appeared in what use to be the fireplace.

"Mother Earth?" was the only words that escaped from Robin's mouth.

The woman had very pale complexion, her long golden hair came down to her feet it curled around her naked body covering parts of its . She looked purely angelical her imagine made everyone in the room calm. Amon had even stopped tying to release himself. In a soft gentle motherly voice she spoke first to Robin…

Robin, Eve you have finally come. You are truly special. I can see through your soul and all I see is goodness. There is no darkness that lies within you. You harbor no ill will to those that have hurt you or your loved one. However for someone like you, you have known so much sadness… Your time has come and happiness is at your doorstep complete this task and your happiness will be endless… I will bestow upon you knowledge that you do not know that this family has carried for ages for me. Your children will one day inherit this knowledge…you will only pass this knowledge to the strongest of your daughters… teach her this knowledge is not to be abuse but used wisely in accordance to the law of nature. For my punishment is not something anyone would want to experience.

Robin felt herself floating toward to Mother Earth. She felt a warmth and incalculable sense of love surrounding her from this godly being. Robin felt her skin tingle as she got closer to the Mother. How beautiful she appeared, her skin was perfect, her smile was warm she radiated love into the entire room.

Amon began to worry again as he saw Robin being moved closer to the Mother. He struggled with the force that was holding him. He felt the power within grow stronger and he was able to sense it more than he has ever felt his power.

Suddenly everything went dark and quiet. He could not see his hands or anything before him. "Robin? Nagira?" as he pulled his gun out its holster ready shoot at whatever came at him.

"Amon" a voice said softly from behind him.

He turned around nothing was there. "Amon, the brave one, ever so strong and fearless it's most admirable. You, that hated your own blood until just recently. When she came she made you realize….Because of her you have come to terms with this gift." A bright light appeared before him he could not see what it was. He felt a shiver up his spine as if something had touched him. The bright light began to form into a shape of a woman. It was her, the mother… Amon wasn't sure whether to put his gun down or not. He felt unsure as he slowly lowered his gun and held in his hand facing the floor.

"What is it that you want of me? You would not do all this if there is no purpose."

"Purpose?" she laughed. "As I expected" her imagine came into full view. She wore a white sheer material Greek style dress with gold trim around the ends and around her small waist. She wore a small golden crown on her head holding her long golden curly silky hair as it hung freely underneath it. She was walking barefoot as she approached Amon with her hands extended inviting him to grab her hand. "She did well in choosing you. You're so fearless it's enchanting to me. How perfect you are for her. It's a shame you will be tempted…Don't look surprised. You will know what I mean when the time come."

"Release me of this spell or enchantment", he demanded.

She laughed "Oh right I will stop admiring your qualities," as her face became serious. "You are her sworn protector, her lover of my chosen heir of my secrets. Because you are her mate I will awaken further your power increasing it which will aid you in protecting her. Do not misuse this power although I know you will not. I still must remind you of this. You will have the power of controlling the winds they will bend to your command. You will now have the elements of wind and water at your disposal along with the immense strength you have now gained." Mother Earth stared reading him. "Before I release you I must warn you of your inner darkness do not let it destroy that you love. Goodbye Amon, I will now bring you back before those you love." The room came back into full view as quickly as it had disappeared before.

"Robin" but no words came out his mouth. "Robin!"

Mother Earth had Robin before her as she touched Robin's head. "I grant thee with the power of knowledge that is beyond age." The women in the portraits around the room began to dance and chant again in some unknown language.

Amon was now able to break free from the grip that was holding him. He quickly ran towards Robin. She turned to him. Her green eyes glowed as if they were lights she stared at him. "Robin!"

"Amon, my beloved my eternal partner, I now understand the missing pieces to the puzzle. I no longer fear the unknown because you are at my side. We will do what must be done to stop that has been done" she walked towards him.

Amon grabed her tightly as if she might escape him. With a low growl in his voice he asked pleadingly, "are you ok?" He looked at her throughly as if looking for a scratch on.

Robin met his eyes reassuringly and responded tenderly, "Yes, I'm ok."

The goddess appeared next to them, "You two will share the knowledge in its entirety with each other but with no one else. Be very careful on what you do decide on sharing. This knowledge that you carry Robin is dangerous in the wrong hands. Amon, will be there for you and you will be there for him" as she kissed Amon on the forehead and then Robin. "Call upon me if you ever need me," as she faded away.

The room was suddenly back to normal as if nothing had happened. The Condesa was sitting on her chair next to the fire. Nagira was released from the grip that held him.

"What the hell…was all that about?" he said flustered as he lost his balance and fell on the floor. Recovering he directed his question to the Condesa; "Condesa! What the hell happened" Nagira said to her.

"My son, don't you get yourself so worked up. I have just made that girl there very wealthy… nothing will be unattainable for her." She responded nonchalantly.

"You mean rich?" he asked again unsure what he had heard the first time.

"No, I mean very rich" she answered mockingly. With a smile Condesa look at the trio and added, "you three stop standing around like if something is going happen and come and join me with her next to the fireplace. I'm old and tired and I have to still more to say before you all run off. Anyone care for espresso, tea or some cake?"

A/n Strange twist huh? This idea had came to me from left field one day. I figured to go with it and see where it will take me. Next Chap... I give away something..it will be about Nagira. Nothing more than that piece of info will I provide.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the 2 additional bonus chapters I posted for a total of 4 in 2 days. I have a couple on going chapters almost to ready to be released.
