Chapter 5
The House of Pain, 1987
It had been interesting year, to say at least, Mameha mussed. The wards around their home had bonded with him and nearly killed him by doing so. It wasn't just for the creepy name, that the house was named Pain. The wards were made of suffering, pain and blood. Others of course, not his. He also knew now, why the entrance hall was filled with silver runes and mirrors. Wards had, well not really tell, but they had somehow made him aware of what they needed to stay strong. Death. He couldn't even begin to understand how many had died, when wards had been made. Or who had invented the wards in the first place.
Gerald had been gods send to him and Petunia. When they had first met, he had been sceptic. And after he had had his inheritance ritual done and was named not only a soul-mate to the darkest Dark Lord there was, but also a Bearer, he had been at loss. None of this had been showing out naturally but still. The healer Gerald had send them to, had been very professional, never doing anything without telling what it was that he was doing. Healer Jugson had been both angry and relived of both his and Petunia's health. Angry because the abuse, neglect and relived because it was over now and they were at his care.
What they had not been expected was Petunias creature inheritance block to unblock itself. They were baffled who had done it and why it had unlocked now. They came to conclusion that the constant residue of magic had weaken the old block until it just cave in. They may never know who it was but they were pleased that the block was no more.
Petunia was most pleased by her unexpected creature inheritance. She was Dark Nymph. Were Light Nymphs would be tied to a one specific location and were known to enjoy nature and were generally very nice, Dark Nymphs were known to haunt battlefields or in rare occasions places that had bloody history or were filled with pain and suffering. Their house was such a place. Dark Nymphs weren't evil or mindless killers. No, they just had more carnal nature. They would enjoy high emotions, be they lust, joy or misery.
Her inheritance came from Selwyn line. It seemed that someone in that line had married Dark Nymph and that gene had been passed down unnoticed until it had resurfaced in Petunia. And while Lily also had had this gene, nether her or Mameha had it activated but it was possible that Mamehas children would have.
