Chapter 25 - The Shocking Truth
"Wait you knew this entire time?" I asked
"You have her mark it's a special mark that only she passed down to her daughter, the daughter I helped her birth might I add then she ran off and begged for me to keep you safe away from her dangerous world" she said
"So I'm truly a Herondale?" I said shocked
"Yes but your more then your silly last name dear" she said
"Wait what mark?" I asked
"That one" she said pointing to a mark I'd never seen before
"I've never seen that before, how did it get there?" I asked
"The moment you entered my realm your true identity was revealed to me and the world, your mark is unique and one of a kind you my friend are beyond this world and full of power, which brings a lot of enemies along with it" she said
"So I must be prepared right?" I asked
"I will teach you what Magnus couldn't when it comes to your elemental powers, I can teach you to harness it and control it, but it won't be easy, it will take time" she said
"I'm staying for as long as needed you know that right" I said
"Of course I know dear, your also welcome to stay forever if you'd like, you can do your day job of hunting and what not that shadowhunters do but you will always have a home here" she said
"Why do I get the feeling your not telling me something" I said
"Your birth father wasn't the best of a man, a crook and a thief had lots of enemies which also brought them to your mother, who when she fell pregnant she feared for your life her child's life, so she ran to me begged me to help and I did but with a little price to pay" she said
"What was the price?" I asked
"You would be hidden from the world for as long as possible, when the time came and only then would you begin to figure things out about yourself, then you'd eventually find me once more and your mother she would have loved to meet you but she begged for me to make her forget you so that her husband your father wouldn't know where you were nor would his enemies so that you were safe from dangerous things, but the price she payed was the mark she gave it had to be hidden away from prying eyes and that took lots of magic so she payed greatly for it but no need to worry" she said
"Is she gone?, is my mother alive still?" I asked
"That is something I can't share with you, if she is or if she isn't it's not my place nor is it the time" she said
"My father you said he was a crook and a thief what exactly do you mean?" I asked
"Tell me child, do you feel it inside the need to hide, the need to let the anger take over and decided your fate?" She asked
"I had at one point but it's not as strong why?" I asked
"Your father was cursed by one of his enemies, the curse was to be passed down to any of his children, the curse was phasing into a wolf by breaking bones and having beyond uncontrollable anger inside, the need to hide away and take out the anger was greater then ever, but it came with a key a key that was in the form of a soulmate, someone to calm the anger inside but you, you have something greater inside" she said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"You have the chance at two soulmates" she said
"But what if I only want one?" I asked
"You will be given a chance to choose, but choose wisely because it might end badly if you chose wrongly" she said
"So basically if I don't choose to keep both mates something bad will happen?" I asked
"That's for you to decide" she said
"So the answer to that question is yes" I said rolling my eyes
"We can start your training tomorrow if you'd like" she said
"Yes please that would be good" I said
"Tell me more about yourself" she said
"Why don't we play a game of twenty questions?" I asked
"May I as what that is?" She said
"Basically I ask you a question and you answer and we go back and forth until we've asked twenty questions" I said
"Oh I like games" she said
"Ok I'll go first then" I said
"Ok" she said
"How long have you been Queen?" I asked
"For quite some time now I'm older then I appear to be" she said
"Ok now you ask me something" I said
"Mhmm let's see first kiss" she asked
"A guy named Chris he was in my eighth grade class and we both hadn't kissed anyone so we kissed each other" I said scoffing at the thought
"Did you not like Chris?" She asked
"One question at a time remember" I smirked
"Right" she said with a smirk to match mine
"How many birth children do you have?" I asked
"Well birth wise two but generations wise millions" she said
"Wow" I said
"Now back to Chris" she said
"It's not that I don't like him it's just he stopped talking to me after it happened and then he moved completely away and I haven't heard from him since then" I said
"Well his loss right" she said and I smiled softly
"Yeah I suppose, so what's your favorite ability you have?" I asked
"My ability to read people" she said
"That's a handy one isn't it" I laughed
"Yes it can be, now what about you?" She asked
"So far my wolf side, because I get to be free in that form roaming around in the woods gives me a feeling I always dreamed of" I said
"Your more then welcome to shift here if it helps" she said
"Thank you I'll think about it" I said
"Next question?" She said
"Why does everyone seem to be worry of you?" I asked
"Because I have people around that give me the information I need, I can see things that others can't and it worries them" she said
"So they fear you because of your abilities?" I said
"Pretty much" she said sadly
