Chapter 317 Their Greatest Punishment
Marceline was utterly shocked by this revelation. Little Lowell might be the most powerful hybrid in the kingdom of Phantasia. The White Witch had some clue regarding his origin. A pureblood vampire and a white wolf?! How powerful could he be with those blood running in his veins?
"Riemc… how did you know this?" Marceline asked her.
"I have the ability to see the past… the moment I saw him, a vision came flashing into my eyes. When I touched him… it became clearer." Riemc explained to her.
"Who are his parents? Are they still alive?" Marceline was dying to know the answer. At least, if they were still alive, she could help Lowell to reunite with his parents. It would be a piece of good news for him.
However, before Riemc could answer her, someone showed up, catching the White Witch\'s attention. A fairy was flying around them, calling Riemc. She was as small as her thumb.
Marceline was also surprised to see the tiny yet beautiful flying creature. "Who is she?"
"A moon fairy… the Moon Goddess\'s messenger," Riemc replied.
Marceline was taken aback when she heard that. \'A moon fairy… a messenger of the Moon Goddess? Why is she here?\'
"Princess Stella, I am afraid but I think I have to go somewhere. The moon fairy summoned me." The White Witch apologized and said goodbye to Marceline.
"Are you going to meet the Moon Goddess?" Marceline asked the White Witch expectantly.
"I\'m not certain. It had been a long time since the last time I saw the Moon Goddess. I can only talk to the Moon Fairies… sometimes, I would ask them about the Moon Goddess\'s whereabouts but they couldn\'t answer me."
Marceline could only sigh in disappointment. She wanted to see the Moon Goddess but she didn\'t know how she could message her.
After a while, Marceline approached the beautiful moon fairy. "How should I address her?"
Riemc smiled and said, "She\'s Snowy. I will introduce you. Snowy, can you see this young beautiful lady here? She is Princess Stella, the Werewolf Princess."
The moon fairy giggled and flew around Marceline. She looked so happy to see her.
"What did she say?" Marceline asked.
"I think Snowy knows your identity. She said she was glad to finally meet you in person." The White Witch was translating the moon fairy\'s words.
Moon Fairies had different languages. The werewolves and vampires couldn\'t understand them unless there was an interpreter. A few witches could understand the languages of the Moon Fairies and they could communicate with them well.
Moon Fairies were like the eyes and ears of the Moon Goddess. They scattered around the kingdom, watching every creature. They were the ones reporting everything to the Moon Goddess. So Moon Goddess was aware of the betrayals of other creatures… the greediness of other clans… and the scheme of other villainous creatures around the Kingdom.
"Snowy… if you happen to see the Moon Goddess, can you pass on my message to her?"
The moon fairy nodded her head.
"Please tell her to visit me… I want to talk to her."
The moon fairy moved her head once more.
"She will relay your message," Riemc reassured Marceline. "Now, Princess. Snowy and I have to leave now. Please tell Dylan not to wait for me. I don\'t know when I will be able to come back."
Marceline could only agree. She could sense that there was an urgent matter that\'s why the moon fairy showed up, summoning the White Witch.
The moon fairy and the White Witch immediately left her house, disappearing from Marceline\'s sight.
The moon fairy brought Riemc to the secluded place… it was the sacred place of the Moon Fairies. No one could come to this place unless a moon fairy would bring someone here.
Snowy led the White Witch to the path going to a sacred chamber. Riemc was shocked beyond belief when she saw the person waiting for her inside that chamber.
"M-Moon… G-Goddess… you are back!" The White Witch dropped to her knees to show courtesy to the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess smiled sweetly as soon as she saw her.
"I didn\'t disappear, Riemc… I have been watching everyone in the shadows." The Moon Goddess said meaningfully.
"I understand… Why did you summon me, our Queen?" To them, the Moon Goddess was the Queen of all creatures. So they called her Queen sometimes.
"I saw you together with Princess Stella. You were talking about Lowell…" the Moon Goddess traced her steps toward the White Witch, extending her right hand. She wanted Riemc to stand up.
"Yes… I met that hybrid boy… is this your doing, My Queen? Did you save him?" The White Witch had a lot of questions she wanted to ask the Moon Goddess.
"Yes… I saved the boy…"
"How? His mother died when she saved Kira, the Vampire King." The White Witch couldn\'t figure out what happened.
"She didn\'t die right away… I preserved her body until Lowell was born… Because of that power I used… Lowell remained in his five year old body and didn\'t grow up even though so many years had passed. I also sealed his power to protect him from greedy creatures who only thought of reigning in this Kingdom." The Moon Goddess explained to the White Witch.
The White Witch was at a loss for words. "Did she die after he was born?"
"Yes… Selene died…"
"I summoned you here because I have something to request from you. Please don\'t tell Stella about this…"
"But why? Why are you hiding something from Stella? It seems that she didn\'t know about Selene. Selene is Serena\'s Twin sister… and she is the woman Kira loved, not Serena. Don\'t you trust her? Don\'t you trust her because she is the daughter of Dominique and Serena?"
"She has to discover the truth by herself. She will find the answer she seeks." The Moon Goddess said, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Moon Goddess… can I ask you a question… I am dying to ask you this."
The Moon Goddess bobbed her head. "Just tell me what\'s on your mind."
"With all the bad things Dominique and Serena had done in the past… Is Princess Stella your greatest punishment for them?"
The Moon Goddess smiled and answered her.
"Yes, you are right. Stella is my greatest punishment for Dominique and Serena."
