VLAD, THE MOTHER MOON AND THE FERRYMAN (2)

"Now, back to my main question. Why do you want to take your life on such an auspicious day like today?" the Mother Moon asked.

"Today is a day of celebration and paying respect to me, The Mother Moon but you chose to take your life on this day, mortal. Why?" The Mother Moon added.

"Mother Moon…" Vlad called with his voice breaking. He wanted to lay all his problems before the Mother Moon.

"You oversee everything. You.. know my story, Mother Moon. Why did you make all omegas be slaves right from birth?" Vlad said as he swallowed a lump in his throat. He was finding it hard to fight back the tears.

"Some things are better left unsaid, mortal" The Mother Moon replied.

Vlad couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Some things are better left unsaid? She made him a slave right from birth. She never gave him a choice. He never had a life of his own, an identity and when he asks her why? She said some things are better left unsaid. It is hurtful.

"I lived my whole life…a slave. I never got to choose what I wanted to be. I never found love in my mate. I almost died working. People called me names and rained insults on me. I was tied to chains everyday and overworked myself. I barely ate. I asked for help but got nothing. I am an omega, became a slave to a story I know nothing about. I never knew why I was one and when I asked you, you uttered the most unreasonable words I have ever heard." Vlad let out as the tears rolled down his cheeks.

He was no longer afraid of the powers of The Mother Moon or what she could.

"I can have you killed for what you just said, mortal" The Mother Moon uttered with a slight increase in her voice.

"Kill me then!!! Send my body to the Ferryman and let me work in his world! I have lived my whole life in suffering so sending me there wouldn't be anything new! Let the fire burn me!!! Kill me!!! I do not have a family to reconnect with in your paradise so send me to the Ferryman's hell!!!" Vlad screamed out loud to the Mother Moon.

She was taken aback by his confidence. He wasn't afraid of death. His whole life has been a living hell so killing him would do nothing to him. Vlad was suddenly infuriated and irritated by the presence of the Mother Moon.

"But do not leave me in ignorance. Do not leave without telling what my offense was. Why did you bring me to this world only to make me suffer? Did my parents ever offend you? I became a stranger and a slave to a system I know nothing about. Why didn't you make me an Alpha or a Beta? Why an Omega? Why did you watch all this time from your place and did nothing? You only came down today because it is your day. You are wicked, Mother Moon." Vlad added as the tears rolled down his face.

"My child…" The Mother Moon called softly.

She was beginning to understand the severity of the fate she gave to the Omegas. She ruined their lives even before they were born.

"Do not call me your child! I am not your child! A mother would never hurt the ones she loves. She would never put them in danger! She would never make them suffer, she would always protect them! You are nothing like a mother!!! So, do not call me your child!" Vlad roared out to the Mother Moon in anger.

He was disrespecting her but she deserves it.

The Mother Moon walked closer to Vlad while he took a step back in fear. He might have angered her. He thought. The non burning fire on Vlad's body as well as the Mother Moon's scepter suddenly disappeared and he became even more scared. What was happening? What was she going to do to him? Was she going to kill him?

Vlad decided to standstill and be brave for what was about to happen next. The Mother Moon's eyes were beginning to glow brighter than before. She walked closer to Vlad and pulled him into a warm embrace.

Vlad couldn't understand what stirred up in his heart that made him burst into tears. He sobbed heavily while he rested his body on the Mother Moon. He cried and cried as he remembered all that he had been through. He really suffered a lot. The scars all over his body and the marks from the chains tied to his hands and legs were enough evidence of the suffering that he had been through.

Vlad sobbed deeply while the Mother Moon patted him on his back.

The warm embrace that they both shared was deep. It was as if they were communicating without words. Some many unspoken words were being said.

"You were never a good mother" Vlad sobbed.

"I know, I know, my child" The Mother Moon replied back as a tear rolled down her cheek. Indeed, Vlad was right.

"You hurt me!" Vlad said as he sobbed harder.

"I know, my child" The Mother Moon comforted him as her tears increased.

A drop of The Mother Moon's tears could bring snow to any kingdom in the Land of Mayan. As a being revered by all, she possessed certain unique features that were abstract from others. One of them was her tears. She could cause a kingdom to be in snow time with only her tears. As she sobbed now, she decided to use her powers and stop her tears from becoming snow because it wasn't needed at the moment. The Mother Moon also used her powers to heal up the scars and marks on Vlad's body while they were still hugging.

"You broke me!" Vlad said as he sobbed more and more.

"I am sorry, my child. I will fix it" The Mother Moon said to him.

It was a long embrace and Vlad was oblivious to his current surroundings but the Mother Moon wasn't. She sensed a presence that was new and her guard wolves began to growl at it.

"FerryMan!" she called at the noticed presence.
