“I-I wasn’t! I just read it… read it in a book! Yes, that’s what I did, read it in a very graphic book.” She laughed nervously. “Now hush, and let me finish. I’m going to skip to your grandmother, because the rest of the queens aren’t very important. Now...

Twenty-ninth, Mint the Unnatural, only had one son, Aramis, and no daughters. Her son later becomes king. She was also the queen to change the name of her kingdom from Voltanaxeria, to just Xera.

The thirtieth ruler will be the first son of a queen to survive and come to power. His name is Aramis Rosner, the Emperor of Fire.”

“That's my daddy right?” I asked her, looking up at her with wide eyes and she nodded.

“That’s right, little flower. He made history by becoming the first king! Also, thank you for being quiet and listening while I finished.” She smiled before patting my head and closing the history book, but not before I caught a glimpse of my paragraph.

I blinked, thinking lightly about what I saw.

The thirty-first queen of Xera, Arrabella, the Goddess of Life…

“What did my part mean?” I asked Naomi, causing her to turn to look at me with bewilderment etched onto her features.

“Nothing,” She smiled, tapping me forehead, “C’mon, let's head inside for lunch.”

I feel so blank.

What?

Blinking, confused, I shrugged before smiling and following her inside.

“Hey Naomi, I have a really really really important question.” I said when I caught up to her, putting my hand in hers.

“What is it?” She asked, looking down at me.

“Why am I the only person that I know that has this thing on my forehead?” I asked, pointing at the small slit that resided there.

“It’s an eye, Bells.” She paused. “You’re the only one that has it because you’re unique; you’re special.”

I giggled happily. “Okay!”
