Heavenly Blessing Novels & Stories

Almost before she could finish her words, I throw my arms around her, tears spilling from my eyes as I cry into her shoulder. “Sacred blessings,” Ethan mutters, “It’s a rare blessing only the Goddess can bestow.” Without releasing my mother, I let my eyes fall on the Goddess’s statue and whisper, “Thank you.”

As went on, hell began to plague the human world with demons of all kinds. Heaven's solution to this was provided with powers known as blessings.

Even though she hadn’t heard the Shabbat blessing in many years, Anna felt her eyes tear up slightly as Elaine lit the candles, covered her eyes and recited the blessing, first in Hebrew “Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav, v’tzivanu l’hadlik ner shel Shabbat. The women recited the prayer in English; Blessed are you, Adonai, our God, Sovereign of all, who hallows us with mitzvot, commanding us to kindle the light of Shabbat. Elaine uncovered the challah, lifted the plate and recited the blessing; Barukh ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam, hamotzee lehem min ha’aretz. Followed once again by the English; Blessed are You, God, Ruler of the universe, who cr

Old Mia steps back, the shock is evident in her eyes. The rage I feel begins to intensify, threatening to consume me. “You´re responsible for the death of hundreds of people, including people who I love.” As I move towards her, I feel this power coursing through me. “Your time ends now, oracle.” I look at my hands and I witness the red aura enveloping me. What is this? “It can´t be. You are blessed by the Blood Moon. Stay back! Don´t come any closer.”

A blessing indeed from the moon goddess. The End.

My heartbeat quickened as I recalled everything that had happened there. Asher placed his hand on my shoulder, studying me intently as though waiting for me to realize something important. “Dead or alive, a dragon’s blessing can always help,” he said. “But no dragon has ever blessed a demon. Not just demons, it takes celestials centuries, sometimes lifetimes, to receive a dragon’s blessing. The dragons have only ever blessed a select few, and they’re all in paradise.” Asher smiled, a soft laugh escaping him as he lowered his head.

“Under the moon and stars, beneath the sky and the earth, we give our blessing to you, Fabian, son of fury, and to you, Seraphina, daughter of strength. May you lead with fairness, love , courage, and hold onto each other without end. May the kingdom prosper under your reign. As she spoke, something shifted under my knees. A pulse, maybe. Or a wave. The ground felt alive. I could feel it, whatever this was, rising through the stone and into the air around us. Heavy, warm, real. Like the gods weren’t just watching they were here. Reaching out. I felt it in my bones. The gods had given us their blessing. In that moment it felt like I knew we were meant to lead.

I had never been one to enforce my beliefs on anyone, but if it was something that they wanted to do, I would happily teach them the traditions of my people. “Yes please,” said Dante, shutting his eyes tightly. Asher took a few more seconds, shaking his head at Dante's forehead first, before even considering shutting his eyes. “Bless this food, oh, moon goddess.” “Bless the food moon goddess,” they responded. Close enough. “May the water quench our thirst and the foods nurture our growth.” “... nurture our growth.” “And now you can go ahead to eat. Bon appetite,” I said, ripping the bread apart and chewing on it while I scooped up a spoon of tomato soup. It was so perfect that I worried that

"Something for delicate features and big eyes. Write that into the fortune. She has to be beautiful. And add a perfect test score. Write it in so she’ll be a genius child…" "Mara, just one last step. Put your husband’s hair in." I didn’t stop them. I mechanically wrapped the fortune cookie—crescent, fragrant, perfectly sealed. Mara took it. A strange glint flashed in her eyes as she spoke softly, "Rainie, don’t worry. I’ll thank you properly." I didn’t even have time to stop her. She opened her mouth and swallowed the fortune cookie in one bite. Too late. And yet, nothing happened to her stomach.

“May fate be kind to you, may your loved ones aid you in the storms of life, may joy be yours and may there be little strife, may peace and happiness be yours all your days, may you find friends and the love of a fated mate on your way.” I could feel the blessing reverberate through me and know that this is no young witch; this woman is powerful. She then picks up a goblet and draws a crescent on each of their foreheads. “Blessings of the Spirits be upon you. Blessings of All Beings be upon you.” Concluding the blessing, she gives each of us a candle to blow out before placing a crescent on our foreheads as well. “That was something else,” I murmur, and Caterina agrees.
