Pride
After the naming ceremony which by the way felt great.
Tom's dad called me out side he wanted to speak to me alone I didn't mind but the way my mother was looking at him am sure she hates him.
Mr Henrik " I feel great whenever I get to have even a glimpse of your face my dear."
I look at him as he keeps waking towards the back of the house.
Pride" why!!???"
Mr Henrik " their is a lot you guys don't know about me but I decided that today I will tell you everything you need to know."
ok, I look up at him and he looks just like Tom they do look alike, he is the older version while Tom is is the younger version.
with the flick of his finger a swing appears in front of us it is beautifully decorated. he sits on it as follow him and do the same
Mr Henrik" long time ago about a hundred years ago we didn't have angels in the kingdom, so when there home was destroyed they came to the kingdom to seek for a place to live in by that time the kingdom had only a few people, so we told them that they could stay with us as long as they don't cause any conflicts which they agreed and never caused any conflicts.
that was when I met your mother, from the beginning my mother was against our union I didn't understand why until i was been chosen as the fortune teller."
he pause to look at me, he lift his hand and close my mouth as he smile and look away, well my face might have shown it all pure surprise I mean who wouldn't, the voice of the fortune teller is that of a women and not a man.
Mr Henrik " after I became the fortune teller, mother couldn't control me anymore but it was too late for me to be with your mother, she was my mate and my first in everything. I was married to Gladys already and she was pregnant with Timothy. I wanted to the people that I was king, I wanted your mother to be the queen, my mother threatened me with her life and I chose her over your mother which was the bad idea I have ever made.
your mother was been poisoned and the only way to save her was to sleep with her but of course I was not allowed so Damon was the one who did it and when I find out she was pregnant I hated her so much, I felt disgusted, by that time Gladys was also pregnant with Tom.
but when you were born I felt like a
massive burden was been released from my body and I could finally breath."
he turns his attention to me and smile like a proud father watching his only daughter.
Mr Henrik"I was lost for words to say to your mother after I realized that what my mother prevented from happening still happened you were born the early riser in all her glory I felt happy that I was the first to old you when the nurse came out with you, I was with Tim and Tom. he was so excited when touched for the first time he couldn't stop smiling that's when your brother came and he named you Pride I thought it was ridiculous at first but then I came to realize the meaning behind the name and I was so happy.
every time I see you I feel happy like a proud father Pride you're the most magnificent child ever."
his words sinks into me, I can't believe that Mr Henrik and my mother are mates but If I said I hate the sperm donor don't believe me I despise him to the core now I can't believe he did this.
ok the fact that he is the fortune teller how does he do it I mean he has duties so much of them Mr Tim is not yet king so how does he do it.
Pride " can I ask you a question I mean it's not something you expect me to ask you right now but I need to know"
Mr Henrik " ask away my child"
Pride" how do you do it I mean been the king and the fortune teller.?"
Mr Henrik " well the thing is am a shape shifter I can take a shape of a person either a woman or man, so when am the fortune teller am a woman and when am the king am a man but also I can multiply myself into so many different people at the same time, so yeah!"
wow!!!! I saw he disappeared in the room today too does he do that but before I could Tom come to us he has that charming smile on his face
Tom " I thought father in law don't talk much to their daughter in law."
Mr Henrik " is that jealous i smell."
we burst out laughing we start walking inside the house I keep stealing glances at Mr Henrik, he looks so happy.
Linda" the conversation seems longer than expected but I will not complain"
Blake" mom why would you say that?"
mom looks at me then Mr Henrik, for some reason she seems angry, they say never anger an angel the consequence is dire very dire.
Clarity" Linda we should go home now it's getting late."
she come to me and give a hug and the Tom and Blake and she waves to the rest.
