Chapter 11 Selene's past.

Selene PoV

I am one of the oldest of my kind Mutants, Metahumans, Cursed or Blessed ones or whatever. I was born in a small tribe, my mother brought me into the world when she was just eight years old. (Early human physiology just works with it) I don't know who my father was not that I cared for that bastard.

I was more intelligent than other children of the tribe and was stronger than the adults of the tribe. They thought they had been blessed by the goddess and I was treated like a leader despite being at the tender age of five or six, stronger than adults but still a child nonetheless.

I even had difficulty meeting my mother who was just five years older than me, they said my mother would taint me with her impurity.

One day some sorcerer came after listening about me I still don't know who he was but I have been searching for him so that I could kill him.

He ruined everything. He told elders that I was a sacrifice for the goddess and those elders agreed after he showed some fancy tricks. My mother tried to stop them but she was just another nobody whose only good 'job' was to give birth to me. The Sorcerer after knowing she was my mother asked to bring her too, at that time I didn't understand but later I understood.

I was brought to a sacrificial altar but it was a way for the sorcerer to absorb my powers which I understood later after studying magic.

After tying me to the altar he started muttering something in demonic language which we thought was the language of gods. I felt pain unbearable pain till now that was the most painful day of my life both physically and emotionally.

I cried from pain but no one came to help me except my mother who was being held by some elders somehow she freed herself and threw a stone at the sorcerer who to defend himself got distracted for a moment causing the ritual to fail. The pain ended but due to an interruption in the ritual the altar exploded the sorcerer got angry but suffering from the backlash of the failed ritual he was injured and had to go.

I was on the verge of death but I felt something awaken in me I could see various energies in the surroundings. Someone from the tribe started beating my mother for her interruption. I crawled towards that person and held his legs begging him to stop but they didn't instinctively I could feel something coming towards me from his body and feel myself getting stronger. I forced it out of him and his body turned to dust in seconds everyone around saw this and was horrified.

Calling me Demon and ran away, I was healed enough to be not on the verge of death but not enough to chase after them for what they did to my mother and me. I looked at my mother who was bleeding profusely but still opened her arms to hug me, I was afraid that she would also think of me as a demon but my worries were for nothing. As I somehow crawled towards her and got into arms I felt warmth like never before I just wanted to lie in her embrace and never go away perhaps it was due to near near-death experience I began to value our relationship even more, but.

I felt something flowing inside me it was the same feeling I felt from that man I turned into dust and got stronger and healed but I was not doing it as I looked at my mother who was smiling with tears from her eyes she was covered in blood and said "Selene is the name I had given you because you were like a goddess that came in my life. I never regretted bringing you into this world but I regretted not giving you the life I wanted to give you like a goddess but due to my weakness I failed. I am sorry now I could only give you this.

Animals are coming I can sense and you will be able to soon please run away and live."

After that, she turned into dust. My body healed completely and now I could sense multiple animals coming towards our way attracted by commotion I was frozen at that place where my mother was now only dust remained that too flew away like sand.

My body instinctively began to move for my survival without me knowing, later I found myself in a cave it was empty I slept there later I found it was a magician's resting place. He adopted me and I went with him because I had nowhere to go, I didn't trust him kast time someone like him destroyed my life.

Thankfully he was a good man after learning my skills in magic began teaching me that when I had nothing to learn from him he sent me to Kamar Taj a group of sorcerers who protect Earth from outer threats, when they had nothing to teach me I went away in thirst of knowledge and power. In Kamar Taj I learned about gods and people who can control life and death at will, I wanted to become like that so I could revive my mother whose name I didn't remember but her face still comes in my dreams with her last words.

I knew I couldn't become powerful without using my power to drain lifeforce so I did, I killed and I absorbed. When I found there were more people like me I decided to hunt them most of them were using their powers to terrorize the weak so I didn't feel remorse. I did it for thousands of years but never came close to controlling life, I could control people's deaths but couldn't bring them to life this irked me after that I searched for temples of those gods I learned about.

I came across a temple of Herobrine an Ancient God of Destruction it was hidden under a forest I searched it and found texts about him telling how he could create life, revive the dead, grant powers, and various deeds that proved how powerful he was but I didn't know how to call upon him so I searched for Gaia the Mother Goddess his first wife and found a way to call upon her.

I did and found her she reminded me of my mother. She truly looked like even I who had been always proud of my beauty could not help but feel inferior her power, her magic everything was unlike I had ever seen. I asked her what I had to do so that she could grant me powers. She instead telling me asked why I wanted to become powerful.

I said to her with determination in my eyes "So that no one would steal my happiness and do anything I want and to revive my mother." She looked at me and said "Fine. I would do that but you have to become my follower if you make significant contributions I would think about revival. As for powers, I would see if you are worthy enough." After that, I appeared in another dimension which was her dimension. I initially was skeptical as gods tend to look down on us but I don't regret it.

Not after looking at the same face I had dreamed for thousands of years of my life.

I told her everything that happened after she died, and she hugged me I felt embarrassed for crying like a little girl even after being older than my mother she looked at me with understanding and didn't berate me for my history.

She just said "Selene I am sorry for leaving you in such a situation. But let's try to start our life like we wanted to."

I smiled at her feeling awkward, although she is my mother technically I am now old enough to be her ancestor she with her small body looked like my daughter but it was the opposite and her maturity proved so even with my thousands of years of experience I couldn't help but feel respect for her who was just thirteen years old.

I wanted to tell you about a lot of things but before that.

"Mom you are so cute." I couldn't help but squeal pinching her chubby cheeks.

"Ouch Selene don't forget I am your mother." She said trying to free herself from grip to my surprise she succeeded making me grateful to Lord Herobrine for giving her life and strength to her again.

"A thirteen-year-old mother whose daughter is sixteen thousand years old." I teased.

"I didn't expect my daughter to be an old hag. Learn something from your mother about maintaining beauty."

She said with a smug smile looking extremely cute.

But her words struck me like a thunderbolt.

(Author: Like facelapped young masters coughing blood.)

"Y-you." I pointed my finger towards her.

"Yes me."

"Argh. But, Mother what is your name?" I just realized I didn't remember her name.

"Name? I never had one." She pointed toward her face and said innocently.
