Memories & Visions
KRISTINA'S POV:
(IN "LIMBO")
I hate that I must go through all of this alone, but I know it is part of the process. After death, my spirit must revisit all of my vessel's memories of the past 21 years. Not all of them have been great. But, all things considered, I had a very happy and healthy childhood, one that I am truly proud of and thankful to my 'Blood Family' for. I also get to review all of my visions, not that I would forget any of them. But some of the ones I had as a child have new meanings to me now.
I can tell that it is almost time, time for me to return. I hope my 'Blood Family' isn't upset with me. Most people don't realize this, but even after the rebirth, I will still have strong emotional ties to them all. Plus they are still my blood. My vessel will always be a Brigant, the daughter of a Faery and a Handmaiden, the true heir to the Fae realm. None will question it, that much I have seen. But it has never been my throne; it has always been my father's throne. I am just the means for the Fae to have a King again.
Something Papa doesn't know is that once I am reunited with my vessel, he too will become immortal. It is his reward for being my' Blood Father' and protecting me until my Transformation was complete. Like Momma, he can move one if he so chooses, but once I name him king it will be his position for as long as he wants it. I hope he doesn't think this will change anything between us.
I have always had two fathers and two mothers; a spiritual set and a Blood set. Vlad has always been my Spiritual Father, I have actually watched him on and off for the last 2,000 years or so. I meant what I said to him before I died; he truly is the best vampire. He raised his children the same way, I believe. I have only met his two youngest children, his youngest because he is the king of this country and I work for him on occasion. We are all like siblings though.
It is almost time; almost time for me to return to my vessel. Then it will become my body. I believe I chose well, it suits my personality well. Once I return, that means my Transformation will finally be complete. This means, I am that much closer to finding him, I can't wait. I know he will be perfect; he will be my perfect mate, and I, his. I can't wait for him to hold me in his arms, to smell his scent, to kiss his lips, to make love to one and only one man, to conceive his child, to bear him sons and daughters, and to bring peace to the mortal realm.
Vampires are right on that aspect, Supes are the superior race. There actually shouldn't be "humans." Surprisingly, they are the genetic flaw. The result of what happens when there is no balance in the realm. That will be my job, to return the balance. My presence will do most of it.
Vampires might have been right on the whole 'humans not being superior' thing, but vampires are definitely not the superior race. The Gods are, and then it is equal footing for Vampires, Faeries, Daemons, High Handmaidens, and Britlinging's. That is where the unbalance started, each group thinking they were better than the other. They each have strengths and weakness which make them even out with each other.
When they started fighting amongst each other, that is when the human race came along. A curse was put on the original bloodlines, and the descendants would be born with no powers. If a human was able to prove themselves, their descendants would be gifted with Supe genes. That is how Weres, Shifters, Witches and the like came into being. While the original Supes were fighting, the Gods decided to separate them.
They each received a punishment. The Fae, Dae, and Britlinging's were sent to their own realms for 10,000 years. Handmaidens were sent to Avalon. Vampires were sentenced to a life without the sun. Since the most fighting involved the Fae and Vampires, they became natural enemies. Vampires would lose control and drain Faeries without wanting too. If a Vampire drank too much Faery blood, it would intoxicate them and drive them crazy. These were in the times of old though. Only a few residual effects of the curse are still around.
The light is back, that must mean its time. I know from the stories of the other Gods that reuniting the soul with the grown vessel is very painful; joy, more pain. I guess I should follow the light and get the pain over with so that I can be reunited with my loved ones. I also know that the most painful thing will come right after my spirit is merged with my vessel. I will receive my wings, something only Originals have. Since I am The Original Pure One, I get a set. I know from mother's warning that it will hurt like a SOB. Ok, here goes…
