I truly thought it would be a child of Inanna and Conri again. “Except it wasn’t,” I sigh, “What does this mean for Seneca?” I questioned wondering where she was going with this. “You know the story of Inanna and Conri well, how they met and fell in love. How Inanna became a mortal goddess. The first time Aodh came for her, he won and took her to the underworld where she eventually escaped. The second time was when her son was born, Aodh rose again, killing Conri or at least the human his spirit occupied at the time along with Inanna. The third time Aodh did not rise but managed to poison the minds of those closest to Inanna's son, a brother betraying him.

"Finn didn't know how to move on. It's been years and he still remembers her. He goes to visit her graveyard every month with the flowers she loved, tulips if I recall. She was everything to him and her death added to the pain of losing his parents." "When his sister was raped by the same man that assaulted you, he went nuts. Almost burned down the forest. He even almost killed you for getting in his way. I had to intervene and that was when he found out you guys were mated to each other. He didn't want to believe in second chance mates but you proved him wrong." "And now, his grandfather is after you. You're special, Iris. You have the blood of the descendant of the fallen goddess and they'

The Phantom Queen does not choose lightly. --- Raven’s fingers tightened on the page. She turned to the stack of Valrosian texts the archivists had brought her — volumes on the Tuatha Dé Danann, cross-referenced with Fae records Lirael had sent as a wedding gift. The Tuatha Dé Danann were not merely gods or fairies. They were an ancient race that had once ruled Ireland with magic, wisdom, and war. Masters of both life and death, they could command spirits, shape the land, and walk between worlds. After their defeat by the Milesians, many retreated into the hills and became the Aos Sí — the fairy folk. But their bloodlines endured in hidden families.

“I figured you’d be informed about the process, what with you being a political science major and all.” “I’m not worried,” he scoffed. “They won’t find anything that will stick.” Again, I rolled my eyes. “You are seriously one self entitled moron.” “Whatever,” he said. Our professor started class, and we’d moved on from Nordic wolves to Celtic wolves. “The wolves of Ireland and Scotland were also associated with power, much like the Nordic wolves. The Celtic gods, Morrighan and Cailleach, were said to have wolves travel with them.

"I don't remember. It must have hurt though. Like hell." He chuckled but then quickly stopped. "Sorry, I shouldn't be laughing." His cheeks turned red. I shook my head and laughed. "It's alright. It is a bit funny though." Easing, he gave me his million dollar smile. "So about mates. Tell me more." I shuffled and crossed my legs on the couch, stuffing a pillow in my arms before I took his hand and started aiding his arms while beginning the story. "So, you know we believe in the Moon Goddess. Legends say the Moon Goddess couldn't have the love of her life so to bless her children, us, she divided every wolf's soul in two and put it in another being. For them to have the love of their lives.

“I suppose this is important.” “It’s not the holy grail,” he admitted. “But Cú Chulainn is a significant Irish historical figure who has single-handedly saved Ireland against the armies of Queen Medb of Connacht. A powerful being in Irish mythology,” he added seeing I didn’t knew her. “They say Cú Chulainn was a demigod himself, and the reincarnation of his father god Lugh.” “Okay,” I said. “Powerful demigod, with powerful mythical shield who defeated another powerful mythological being, and saved a lot of people.”

I wasn't sure where all of my clothes from the shopping spree with Grumpy had gone, so I just stole another set of Thane's shirts and boxers. "-I can see that. You have nothing to fear from me or my brethren. But there is cause for worry from those whom Patrick has engaged on his side," Brigid was saying as I came back out. "And who is on his side?" Grumpy asked as he pulled me down into his lap. "Arawn, Cailleach, Gwynn ap Nudd." I blinked rapidly. "Aaron, Caleeoch, Gwen ap need?" Brigid winced slightly. "You need to be getting into the Irish language, love." She spelled the names and pronounced them slowly. "You were pretty close, but that only counts in-"

Each word he signed added to the rich tapestry of Aqualearia's lore, and as the tale unfolded, their connection deepened, and the barriers between them seemed to dissolve. "In the time when the world was still young, there existed a powerful and ancient being known as the giantess Angrboða," Finrir signed with eloquence, his hands forming precise gestures to convey the story. "From her union with the great trickster god Loki, three remarkable children were born."

Elias blinked and silently urged her to continue. “We spoke to her and she told us about,” Fionna turned to me and I nodded, “she told us about Mage wolf.” I saw the way Elias stiffened, his eyes widening for a microsecond before he composed himself. “I…heard that only in folktales, as in, she was a myth,” he replied slowly. His lips curled into a small smile. Fionna looked back at me helplessly. I blinked once and turned to Elias. He was omitting truths, which was technically not a crime, but I was desperate.

“What was it for?” “I had an accident and ended up with a penetrating wound. I nearly died. There are the crystals dotted around too, decorations that remind us of the past we came from. Many of our hymns focus on the powers of the Sun and the Moon as they always did traditionally. They also pay tribute to the mother of all, the Goddess of nature.” He was doing his best to speak in code. To keep to the truth, but make it less suspicious to outsiders who didn’t understand. “The legend is that our people were defeated by the Vikings. The original members of the camp managed to escape and came here. The fairies and witches who lived here cloaked the woods to stop them from being found and kille
