Story: Nova

"Baby you are spoiling her!" I tell Cain.

"Princesses need to be spoiled" he protests.

"Indira needs to sleep in the beautiful crib Orson made her" I say.

Cain ignores me and blows raspberries on her belly.

"If you make me ask twice we are gonna have a problem, crib now!

" I demand. "As you wish my Queen" he sighs and puts her in.

"I will take you out when she is gone" he whispers.

"No he will not" I kiss her head. "Your hearing has gotten better since having the baby" he squints at me.

"You sure, you don't have powers?" he asks.

"I do they are called Mom knows everything, now let's go to this meeting" I laugh.

"But Indi" he protests. "Grandma is watching her come on" I grab his hand and pull.

Cain refused to leave Indi alone for more than 5 minutes at a time.

I thought I was going to be like that and I was for the first two weeks then Cain took over.

Rinus took over a lot of Cains duties so he could spend time with Indi and besides Alara, Rinus, Cain and Eve no one has been allowed around her or seen her.

Ares had been asking but I felt like maybe at one month she can be around more people.

"So glad you could join us" Rinus says as we enter the office.

"Hey beautiful" Are smiles at me. "Ares" I acknowledge him.

Since having the baby he has been flirting with me heavily.

I think both him and Cain liked that the baby weight made me even curvier.

"Ares" Cain growls. Despite their peace treaty Cain has been more overprotective of me.

"Bestie, gentlemen. I have called this meeting today because what I learnt about my ancestors, needs to be remedied" I say.

"What did you see?" Tariq asks. "Good question, I will summarise".

"Basically my ancestor Nora was in love with the King to be Cain.

.". "Wait wait Cain?" Vato asks. "Yes Cain is your ancestor's name and also well Cain's name" I point to Cain.

"Anyways they were madly in love and there were a bunch of people meddling.

" An important fact royals weren't allowed to pollute their blood line especially first born and Cain was just that.

Oh and humans and every creature in the land lived in harmony and bred so there were many hybrid children".

"No I would have heard stories or something humans never lived here" Rinus says.

"Okay and who was unconscious for a month to acquire this information? " I question. Rinus rolls his eyes.

"As I was saying Cain's father wanted Nora dead so Cain would take the throne and there was some evil guy called the dark one who tricked Nora into helping him start a war and Cain had beef with the dark one or something they didn't go into detail.

Anyway Nora lied about her whereabouts and Cain felt like he couldn't trust her so he married some random woman upon his fathers insistence. "

"Before all that Nora and Cain were supposed to elope on a certain day and Nora waited for him in the designated eloping spot but he didn't show.

Instead she found him making out with the woman and her heart broke.

He then told her she meant nothing to him basically because his father was watching and then she decided he needed to die. " I say.

"Why didn't they communicate, I would never let you think I didn't love you even if I had to marry some other woman" Cain says.

"First of all there is no way you would marry some other woman and I stay, the first sexy guy I see we getting married" I joke but Cain growls in irritation at the very thought.

" But seriously when other people are meddling in a relationship it's hard to tell who has pure intension but yes they should have just talked" I sigh.

"Anyways there was a war, oh and the song that triggers Rinus. .. Nora composed.

" Nora was supposed to kill her lover and he accepted his death but that's also when they decided to talk it out and realised they had been deceived but it was too late.

Long story short instead of Nora killing Cain the dark one killed Nora and Cain killed him.

Cain then went to the cave we were in to some body-less lady to ask for Nora's life back".

"But since the dark one fucked up the worlds harmony the humans and basically no one was safe.

Since humans were bottom of the chain, Cain asked for Nora and her kind to have a world of there own".

"Eurth" Ares whispers. "Correct" I nod. "Why don't we know or remember this?

" Vato asks. "Cain had everyone's memories wiped there was too much pain" Alara responds.

"Okay but why am I triggered by Nora's song?

Rinus questions. "No idea didn't have time to ask" I say.

"Any other questions?" I ask. "Why did Emmett end up here?

" Ares asks. "The lady basically said she sent Emmett to Rinus I guess to talk about me the only.

. well now first female descendant of Nora" I shrug.

"What exactly are you supposed to do to fix all this?

" Vato inquires. "That's what this meeting is for, ideas" Alara chimes in.

"Nova's role was unclear" she continues.

"I guess the wound needs to heal meaning my world needs to join yours but we have to first fix everyone's obsession with my womb before bringing more female humans here" I sigh.

"How does one do that?" Tariq scratches his head.

"I vote kill Emmett" Rinus says. "Alara don't write that.

." I say. "Oh I already did, let's just collect all the ideas" she laughs.

"The word is already out and now I am thinking people are obsessed because you all once had more options for reproduction.

" "That makes sense, it's rare to have hybrid children even with the creatures that already live here" Vato says.

"What is the next step?" Cain asks. "I guess a biology lesson" I sigh.

"A what?" Tariq asks. "A lesson about reproduction" I rephrase.

"That is fine and all but why would they listen to you?

" Bower drops from ceiling. "Bower explain yourself" Cain bellows.

"Your office is cooler than mine I fell asleep" he stretches.

"It took awhile for me to respect your authority" Bower continues.

"Maybe we form a group with one member of the species.

Talk to them then the masses" Alara says thoughtfully.

"Alara you are a genius!!" I exclaim. "Vato can you figure out who to select and who is trustworthy and things of that nature?

" I question. "I shall begin collecting the information" he says.

"Unrelated when are we meeting Indira?" Ares asks.

"At her introduction" Cain says. "When she is a month so soon" I smiles.

" Alrightmeeting adjourned" I hop off the table.

No one moves, "The meeting is over" I say.

"Oh" they all say in unison. I felt good about the meeting and the first step, I just pray it works.
