Hailey's POV

I got up thirsty and tired although I had slept for a few hours. I looked around the room that was dark except for the beam of moonlight streaming through the window. Turning to the bedside lamp and switching it on, I saw that the time was 2 in the morning. As I looked down at my tank top I noticed that it was drenched with sweat. My bedspread and blanket was also wet. I was confused as to why was I sweating so much. I walked to the en-suite for a cold shower to cool my body temperature.

Stepping under the shower it helped me cool down considerably, but I still felt a bit hot and stuffy. After an hour just sitting under the shower I stepped out and put on my robe.

"Hello my child, I have waited for this day for a long time." She spoke. Her voice was filled with love and kindness. It was like sweet music to the ears. After a lot of struggling I found my voice,

"I am sorry but who are you?" I spoke in a whisper.

She smiled and stepped towards me. "I am The Goddess Luna, and you are my daughter."

Holy shit! I was standing in front of our goddess, our creator. Not everyone is blessed with her presence except if they were her devotee or a respected elder of the council. Even then I had heard she communicated through objects or only her voice was heard. Why was she standing in front of me in full form?

But then her words sunk in. 'Daughter?' what is she talking about. I stared at her, confusion sprawled across my face. Understanding my silence she said,
