She misled the others to join her to challenge my authority. It was only your mother who didn't yield and stood by my side, so we became their enemies. You're stronger than you think, Ezy. Your mother was one of the strongest of all five of us. That was why the goddess chose you to seek justice for us." "What are you trying to say?"

The first entry beneath my deity name had been written twenty-seven years ago. 'Lunaria came to me beneath a silver eclipse. She named our daughter Pandora so the child might walk among mortals. Before dawn, she whispered another name over her cradle. It was Polycaste, the Ninth Daughter, born with dominion over war.' I frowned. "He already told me this." Not everything.

She proudly said. I smiled as I recall where I read what she just said. "They say that in ancient Persia, the moon was Metra, the mother of the whole world. For some people the moon has a destructive aspect. The Aztecs of Mexico called it Mictecacuiatl and believed it traveled through the night sky hunting prey to consume. The Maori people of New Zealand referred to the moon as the "man eater." The African and Semitic peoples of the ancient Near East were also frightened by the frightening aspect of the moon. In some cultures, the moon has had a subtle association with death. Some ancient Greek sects thought that the moon was the home of the dead, and early Hindus believed that the souls of

I paused looking down on the field beneath us and their different movements and manoeuvres and while I still felt repulsed by it, I felt a strange draw towards it. I sat on the ground shielded by the wood cover. "Tell me." River sat next to me, his shoulders brushing mine. "I'll ask you again. Who created us?" Was this a trick question? Everyone knew who it was. "The moon goddess blessed us. We are her descendants." River nodded resolutely. "The Mother, you call her the moon goddess, is the source of life and our powers. But Lycanthropy was made by the curse of a power-hungry witch on her fellow witches in a bid to steal power."

She lightly touched the very peak as she continued he trailing words, "The Mother Goddess of Order." This was the genesis of the known world. The mother goddess created the world. She was an all-powerful being, but she wasn't satisfied. She felt alone and isolated. And so she decided to have people surround her. Those people were her fourteen daughters, each of them born from one of her sins or virtues. Each of her daughters was born as a pair. Making seven pairs. For a time, a long long time, those fourteen lived together in relative harmony, but then the daughters also wished to create life as their mother did.

Naturally Mummo smiles and nods as she gazes at Phoenix lovingly. “I was a lycan and a witch before I became a goddess, your gran, Helena and I led our coven to serve the Moon Goddess and her twin sister, who was my mother, we protected our people as best we could,” Mummo clarifies, Phoenix curls up in Benjamin’s lap getting comfortable with his arms around her, as she focuses on listening to Mummo’s words. “Mummo, my Gran help stop Dagon before?” Phoenix questions, making the rest of us look at her, then Mummo, as it was a very good question.

“You always did see too much.” Adrien swallowed hard. “Then tell me what this is. What The Mother means. Why the world’s falling apart.” She looked past him, to the horizon where the crimson half of the sky met the silver. “The Mother is not a title,” she said softly. “It is an origin. The first light that birthed the cycle. Dominion was my shadow. The Luna Queen my vessel. Every age of this realm… was me, dreaming.” He stared at her, unable to breathe. “You’re saying you created all of this?”

My throat tightened as I whispered, “But how, Mom? How can you even do that if you’re fading? How will you heal me?” There was a pause, then her voice returned, steadier, filled with that old certainty she always carried. “Because I am a priestess of the Moon Goddess. My powers may not be as strong as a witch’s, but they have always been enough to protect our family. Our line has been devoted to the Moon Goddess for generations. Every prayer, every offering, every whispered hymn under the night sky, it has all been for her. And I believe, with all that I am, that the Goddess will help me now. That she will bless you through me.”

There would be a rash of miscarriages, still-births, and animals that just couldn’t get pregnant. The Mother aspect of Hecate is the goddess of fertility. That is supposed to be my power. But if I’m barren, my entire coven will be as well. It was half the reason that my mother had kept her alliance with Julian’s pack. We all knew that he was psychotic, but he would willingly give us what we needed to complete the potion to make me fertile. Unfortunately, the potion wouldn’t work until I was High Priestess. I should have waited to kill mother until Julian was back, having won that war. But now that he is dead and his pack taken over by those fucking wolves that just left, that plan wen
