Chapter 32 Warrior Queen

   Many forces?. I hugged myself and shook my head and stared at my mom. She was not joking when she said that but then I need clarity.      

   'Many forces,how mom?"

I asked knitting my brows at her. I was eagar to know something. Is there more to this?I hope I have not done what I am not supposed to do?.

  "I was supposed to tell you this one you turn 25 but now I guess I need to tell you the truth about yourself and what you carry".

 She said and I embraced my self for more not knowing if I am ready for what she is about tell me. I start to feel goosebumps all over me and I pulled my hands from hers and hugged myself tightly.

       "You are reincarnation of someone,a warrior queen"

"Huh,a what?"

I asked getting scared and confused not knowing what more to expect.

   "You heard me right."

She said and sat upright.

      I was dumbfounded,I have not come out from the shock of seeing what I am not supposed to see and now this?. Is my life about to change or what?

     "Hundred years back,a prophecy was made of a warrior queen who is to wipe the existence of the legendary  Lord, Lord xexes of the South. When lord Xexes heard of it, he traced you but unfortunately you were save from him so when he did not kill you he killed your parents and many others.

     Then you were into hiding for 25years. Later,an  arrangement was made and you were brought into the palace to fulfill your destiny.  Lord xexes was not aware of the doom that is about to befall him.  Along the line you fell in love with the nephew, the rightful owner of the throne. Somehow the Lord came to know who you are and took action immediately .

      Nature was waiting for the fall of the legendary beast but the universe was also aware of the downfall of the warrior queen. One of these has to happen. Is either the warrior queen dies or Lord xexes dies but eventually lord Xexes found away to keep himself from being killed by you. He killed the prince when he found out that the prince's life was tied to yours and he knows you will die too if the prince was to be killed.  But he never knew ....."

"Knew what?"

I could not help but to ask.

She took a pause and continued

        "Your reborn,the prophecy of your reborn came again 25 years ago,that's four years before your birth and he made sure you were killed as an infant but he failed the second time."  

    When she was done,I did not know if I am to cry or to laugh. It was like all these stories I do read,how could my life change in one night. I have read about the people of the south and it's legendary Lord,Lord xexes but never in a day have I thought it was real,I thought it was a myth.

   "But I thought the story was a myth Mom?"

I asked her

It was never a myth my dear

She replied. I sighed and relaxed a little.

   "So why have he not come after me all this years?"

     I asked with an act of patient. As it is now,it's like I have to keep calm and learn all about myself.

"He did not know your are still alive"

 Mom said.

"How?"

"Your virginity was an invincible force keeping you away from the preying eyes of your enemy.?"

She said and continued.

 "That was the main reason I prevented you from making friends in school because I did not want you to fall a prey to those boys and lose your virginity whereby exposing yourself to your enemy."

     Now I understand why she would not allow me to make friends or keep male friends.  I thought of getting back a the society without knowing I was endangering my self.

"So lord xexes lives but what about his nephew"

I asked, curiosity getting the better of me

     "No one knows anything about him"

She replied.

"How did you know all this mom?"

      I asked.

"When I got married to my husband,I  had issue conceiving so my husband left me, but then I  did not remarry.  One night, a man came to me and asked if I would be pleased to bring forth the warrior queen. It was a good deal and I grabbed it. But I was warned never to let you have sex untill you are 25"

"Why"

I asked,

"I don't really know".

    Shocking as it is. I have a lot of things I need to learn. I looked at my self and realized that after last night,a whole lot have changed but I am not sure if I am ready for these changes.
