Celestial Love Book 3: Marriage.

"It all started 16 years ago," My mother began. "Your brother and sister were both very young, four or five years old. They've known about this the entire time. You see, it was a dark and rainy night. Your brother and sister had gone to bed, and your father and I were still up. We were sitting on the couch. I was reading, and he was just sitting there. Then, suddenly, there was some kind of whine at the front door, a bit like a dog's yelp. We walked up to the door and opened it, and there you were: A small, white-furred cartoon horse, a red and blue mane, a fish's tail, and ruby eyes. Your only protection against the cold and rain was a thin, fleece baby blanket tied around you. You were laying there, dirty and probably sick. We weren't sure what you were, but... We picked you up and took you inside. We waited a little while for you to wake up. You were unafraid when you saw us, and you walked up and started nuzzling me."

"You just made my heart explode. You were the cutest little thing I'd ever seen, even with the dirt covering you. I picked you up and took you into the bathroom. I turned on the bathtub faucets, making the water nice and warm. When it was about half-full, I put you in. Your father was watching while I did this. I scooped up little water in my hands and released it over your head, rinsing some dirt and mud from your mane and coat. I took a little shampoo and squirted it into your mane. I did a few other things, cleaning you up, then lifted you out of the tub and dried you off. I kissed you on the forehead, and you started licking my cheek. I chuckled at that, and then I took you into the living room."

"I wasn't sure how we would have you sleep, so, we just decided to put down a few blankets over the couch, put down a pillow for you to lay on, put a cover over you. I kissed you one more time on the forehead, and you nuzzled me. You laid your head down, smiling, and fell asleep. And, the whole reason we never told you, was because we were worried you wouldn't be able to live the same way after we did, and you'd just feel insane. So, we decided we'd only tell you after you decided to move out. But, now..." She looked at me, tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry," I said to her. "I'm sorry that I... That I was so angry towards you. I just... I didn't understand." I turned around. "Wait!" She said, stopping me. "We found this in a pocket in the blanket that was tied around you." She handed me a piece of paper and some necklace. The necklace was a silver medallion with the Greek letter Pi carved into it. The paper was a note. I took the note and opened it up. It read, This is Lord Tridentus Marinas XV, descendant of the Ocean Spirit Oceanus. Treat this child well, and beware his abilities, as he is of a different world. He will slowly begin to take on your attributes, and eventually become human in form. But, his abilities will remain. He will be very fast, strong, and intelligent. He wil be the greatest mortal creature this world has seen besides the Son of God Himself. He will even be able to use magic, though he will not know it when he does. He will be a great warrior. Just be prepared for anything he might do, and expect the unexpected.

I took the letter and folded it up. I put it in my pocket, and placed the cord of the necklace around my neck. I wore the silver proud and true. "Thank you, Mama." I said, tears in my eyes. "Thank you... For finally telling me the truth." I took out Rift, cut open a portal, and was gone.
