I frown looking at the pouch not moving "Your hints again tie everything to Medusa, she's a demigod she had the powers of a god but could be killed".
She chuckles as I hear shuffling around me "A demigod once finished growing will age so slowly that they could live for millions of years but, can still be killed like any mortal".
"Okay but all stories about her say she's dead, if that's true you're not her" I mumble looking around.
"That is true, she died, the unknown child hidden before her sisters went after the one who
killed their mother, now are you ready to guess?"
"One of the daughters, with you holding onto these" I say pointing to the pouch "I say the hidden daughter or that one's daughter".
"So very close, I am the great-granddaughter of the hidden daughter anyone who knew Medusa swears I am her. I have been told I look just like her" she says laughing I tilt my head seeing a tan hand on a tree but nothing else.
"Why hide here?"
"My creatures cover the area, most avoid here for fear of them, you are the first shifter group willing to come here".
I frown moving to the tree I seen her hand on looking around only to just miss her "Are we too close? We have a baby with us we just want to live in peace".
"You have done the impossible kitten, a mixed group the last of the wild pride who escaped the government, a Cecaelia, Cambion, Dhampir, Witch, the mother of Liliths, wolves, and Panthers, you call them all to you. I've heard of this only once and she was killed,
damaged and heart broken by those trusted who betrayed her, changed because she saw the truth of others' hearts, you are on the path once stopped" she whispers behind me.
I spin looking for her "What do you mean?"
"Don't open your eyes kitten" she whispers covering my eyes.
I shiver feeling something slither over my shoulder as she leans near my ear "The death of Medusa was planned, but her story has not ended with her. She swore a child of snakes would come, protected by family, loved by supernaturals this child would bring back the lost Royals, forge peace between vampires and wolves, with two of the ancients, they bring more power to her when the time comes, she will take the throne over our world. Starting a new world inspired by the old, no longer hidden, with freedom".
"Tell Nix, the child is found, if she asks who told you this message give her the pouch".
I shiver feeling her move away after whispering see you soon I frown looking around not seeing her, turning I run to the house "Nix I demand answers now" I scream making everyone come out and look at me as I look to the area she set up.
She comes out and I growl slightly "I was told to tell you the child is found after being told the story of Medusa" I sneer holding up the pouch.
She rushes up taking the pouch and opens it "She was here? Where is she?"
"She left and said she would see me soon, now explain this and the story she told me" I demand.
Nix nods looking at the pouch "She's my niece I told you I was always like this, my mother was the granddaughter of Medusa I was the firstborn as a Lamia, my sister was born like them tradition says the child born like Medusa in our family is named after her, she's the fourth Medusa, now who's the child" she asks desperately.
"She says it's me" I whisper.
"Your the child?" She whispers looking at me closer "Of course why did I not see this" she hisses doing her slithering pace "The wild pride's only living member restarted the pride by Lily changing you and you Emily, you mated a wolf, friends with a half-vampire their love for you stopped the fighting between them, I'm an ancient so is Iris, your group is mixed, you're my very great granddaughter I'm part snake our bond makes you a child of snakes, your family moved to protect you, I protected you, your friends are supernatural and protected you out of love" she says almost upset "How did I miss this? I should have seen it" she hisses.
