Chapter 14

Part of the Truth

After I left Corrine in what I can now call our bedroom, I went to the kitchen. She would be starving when she wakes and I intended to bring her some lunch she would not be about to forget. Lunch! Yes, it was already noon and I had made love to her at least five times.

When I entered the kitchen I felt a presence and I knew it was my master. I lit a few candles and saw him, waiting in the corner, arms crossed. I feared that he would take Corrine from me for having taken her innocence, but then I noticed that he was grinning.

I bowed briefly and then went to the stove and lit the fire, putting some logs into it to keep it burning long enough to prepare a soup.

-I'm taking that you are not angry at me. I said after a few moment, hating that silence

-Why do you think I placed her under your protection? He said, a smile in his voice, I could tell. Only, I did not thought it would be that fast.

-You knew I would fall for her? I asked, surprised by what he said

He only nod as he retrieved what I needed to cook, which surprised me even more.

-Now that she is asleep, I have no doubt she would sleep for a while, we must talk. He said, sitting at the counter, cutting some vegetables

I sat with him but said nothing, looking at him with centuries of unanswered questions crossing my face. He actually smiled at me. Was it only me or since Corrine arrived here the soul maker was acting strangely?

-The first thing you have to know, and I don't want what I am about to tell you to interfere with you true feelings, is that Corrine is not a simple indigo.

-Then, what is she? I asked, now confused

-She is my daughter. He declared simply

I could not repress a gasp to escape my lips. I had been by the soul maker's sides since the very beginning of this world and never knew about him having a daughter. How could that be? He nodded toward me, confirming that it was true and I noticed that I had raised from my chair. I sat back, waiting for the details.

-I fell in love with a mortal, twenty years ago. He said, and I felt sorrow filling his voice. It happened only a few times in my family history.

-So, it makes Hercules one of her cousin? I asked, more to myself

-Well, yes. He chuckled then came back to a more serious state. I could not stay with Corrine's mother, or I would've been banished from the skies. So I left her and made sure she would forget about me and she fell in love with a mortal herself. By the time, she was pregnant, but I knew before I left her. I made sure my child received the perfect soul for her and made her the most powerful indigo in the world.

-Then, is there really a powerful demon after her.

My master looked angry for a moment and I realised that it wasn't against me. I knew now that there really was dark forces after my beloved indigo and that made me think about who it could be, but found nothing.

-Who is he? I asked, swallowing hard

-Râvana.

I gasped again. I knew that demon and could only hope now that I was powerful enough to keep Corrine from his evil grasp.

-If he finds her, he will take her and make her his wife. If he ever take her, the world is condemn to Hell and even with all my power combined to those of my siblings, it's a battle we can't win.

I understood now why she was so important to create a whole world for her alone. But...why me? Why entrusted me with such an important mission. The soul maker placed his hands on my shoulders, he had read my thought and I knew it.

-I placed her under your care, because you felt lonely. I knew you would love her, because you are alike. You are my favourite spirit and I wanted my only daughter to be happy. Now, you must promise me that you will not speak a word to Corrine about that conversation.

-I promise master.

He raised from his chair, pouring the vegetables he had been cutting into the cauldron. He turned to me one more time and smiled.

-You must promise me something else before I go.

-Anything master.

-Take care of my grandson will you?

I looked at him, opened mouth. Could it be? Did my beloved be already pregnant?

-You made love to her more than once last night Erik. He laughed, obviously delighted to have a grandchild. Did you think that it could not happened? But you must keep that secret too, or she could panic. Take care of them Erik and if you need me or if she does and not tell, call for me and I'll come.

-Thank you master.

On that, the soul maker disappeared. Through my eternity, I had been the keeper of many secrets, but that one was one that would be difficult to keep. Me, the father of Corrine's child, the soul maker's grandson. I would have to keep the good news to myself. How will I be able to hide such a wonderful thing and keep my happiness to myself?
