My sacred parts tremble.I'm completely sore and tender as I roll over onto my stomach and look at Mig.He sleeps next to me with a peace I don't know. The usually tense lines of his face are relaxed. He has never looked so young as he does in this moment, when the sunlight streams in through the open window—just a warm, pearly glow—vaguely brighter than the moon.It's been half an hour since he left my body and he looked at me one last time before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.I am exhausted.I would like to hug him and get some sleep too, but I know I shouldn't.Arina is alone. I want to be by her side when she wakes up. So I get up and put on my tunic, which is lying in a corner.When I stand up again I feel Miguel's seed running down my legs for all the times he had his climax inside me.I clean myself with the fur blanket and get dressed.I go as quietly as I can to the door and give him a look before leaving.He hadn't moved since lying in that position. His parted

Arina returns with our evening meal.My sleep is light and I wake up at the same moment she pushes the door.I don't know where she was for so many hours, but I don't worry about her here. Not with Prince Azerai always so close. I know he has feelings for Arina. His golden eyes follow her everywhere, even if he stays away, always keeping some distance between them.I begin to understand these wolves.I've been living among them for a few months now.I know that when a male is interested in a female he becomes an involuntary type of protector for her. It was one of the things Reeina told me. Even if the Prince doesn't agree with how he feels, even if he never goes through with it, he won't be able to stay away from Arina. He won't be able to be indifferent to her. He will protect her. Maybe above your own life.Azerai may feel that you are being too discreet with your interest in my Sister. He may even ignore that he is attracted to her. But I see. I'm not stupid.However, I don't comp

Arina is in our old room.I mentally prepare myself before entering, afraid of finding the bodies of my Sisters on the floor, but there is nothing there but the messy beds and trunks with our shared belongings.The dust from the ground rises to my feet as I step forward.Azerai is in the hallway with his arms crossed over his chest, in a patient waiting attitude. He doesn't look at me. His eyes are on the floor, on the wall, anywhere.I see Arina standing near the bed we shared.She touches the tangled sheet and looks around as if looking for something.— They were here — he murmurs when I approach. — Our Sisters. They died here. Where are? What happened to their sacred bodies?- I don't know…— What if any of them survived? Like us — Arina quickly looks at me. —There's a chance, isn't there? Oh no…I also went through this moment of denial. I thought my Sister had already gotten over our tragedy.I offer you the only thing I think will comfort you.— We can look. It's a small island.

I don't know what time it is, but I had to get more candles because the ones I brought were already running low.I'm not hungry, thirsty or tired.All I feel is fear for the conclusions I'm coming to.All the diaries that Miguel and I read do not clearly mention the forbidden pregnancies of the Servants of the Goddess who went to the continent, but they do mention sex with men from Agreis. Tribal leaders, mainly. Lots of sex.Imagine that; young, beautiful and healthy women, raised in a strict discipline of prayers, rituals and purity, released on an unknown continent, serving powerful men who feel attracted to them without the constant vigil of a strict Mother.The temptation is right there, and from what I've been reading in the last few hours, all the Handmaids took a good sip from that cup.I wouldn't be so paranoid if I didn't come across so many pages ripped out.Someone thought it was okay to keep the sex-forbidden parts, but something else was too horrible to keep and was ripp

Arina is just a little surprised by my hypotheses. She didn't imagine this, but she seems to understand that it is plausible.— Yes, I think I read something about that somewhere. About the Servants who were on the mainland returning to the Island. But if they were pregnant, what happened to these children? — my sister questions out loud. — Servants of the Goddess only give birth to other Servants. Women. That's it? Her Daughters stayed here on the Island and were raised as Servants?I shake my shoulders.I'm still disturbed by the conversation I had with Mig, but I try to stick to what Arina and I said.— The Mothers had their own archive on their floor, didn't they? Is there any chance the answers are there? I ask.— There's a file up there, it's true. I saw him. It's in a small room at the back. But everything was under lock and key. How will we get in?— Let's look for the key. It must be here somewhere and-… — What are you doing there?The hoarse voice so close startles us.My si

There were no children on the island…It's been a long time since a Mother gave birth to a Daughter...I don't remember who said Hani was younger than me, but it was said at some point. Why would the order we were born into be important enough to change? And how would it be possible to know that I was the last Daughter of the Goddess to be born on the Island?A forecast?Were we doomed to disappear?Why would the Goddess do this to us, her favorites?I sit on the floor for a second.Now I have even more doubts.I reach for the book with my name on it and take another look.My first steps were recorded. My first words too. Nothing too extraordinary. There is an attention to detail in my growth that is noticeable. And then I come across the following sentence:"No power was realized until that age. She failed every test. We believe the Goddess is among us." I don't understand what you mean.I reread it, over and over again."The Goddess is among us."Is my lack of gift a sign from the G

I can see sunlight streaming in through one of the hallway windows as I stretch, tired yet full of energy.I discovered several things in the last few hours. One of them; Arina is the daughter of Mother Heste. This surprises me very, very much, but I don't think it's relevant to my Sister. Nowhere was the one who brought me into the world mentioned. Either this, in fact, was never written, or someone tried very hard to hide it.Another thing; The arrival of Miguel and the wolves on our island was predicted many, many years ago before Ceisa made that prediction. A Sister called Iyo predicted the arrival of wolves on our beaches even before the Break with men.There are a hundred predictions that have not yet come true, but that have been cataloged and stored here. I can't handle half of it. And I'm also more interested in those involving the past.I'm almost giving up when I think I finally find what I'm looking for.It is the prediction of a Sister called Zaine.She talks about the "l

— This one — I show Arina the forecast as soon as we sit together on the floor.Miguel and Azerai approach, but only the Wolf King seems interested in what we say. The Prince stands closer to the door, like a guard.My Sister tilts her delicate face to read, but it doesn't take long.- What does that mean? "Party power"?I shrug.— And this "wolf in the sky" thing?I shake my face.- I don't know-...- What did you say? — Miguel extends his hand so I can pass him the tome with the prediction.I casually look for his gaze, but he denies it. He's focused on the book, his brow furrowed in question.— I think it's related to the other prophecy — I say to Arina. — Our Sisters predicted the arrival of wolves on our beaches long before it happened. Ceisa wasn't the only one to see them coming.A brief expression of disgust crosses Arina's face, but she shakes it off with a deep breath. She opens her mouth, but Miguel talks over her.— This is a prediction from my people.We all looked at him

— Are you saying that our Mother Goddess is… somehow… a goddess of your culture? — my Sister frowns at the Prince, almost offended.I understand your irritation. We had very strict discipline over our Mother Goddess and what this wolf says actually seems like a type of blasphemy, but I place a hand on my Sister's arm and ask her for patience with a look.Let's let these wolves talk.— I think it's worth going deeper into this — Azerai continues. — Maybe it will enlighten us about the prophecy and everything else.I nod.Arina maintains her irritated expression.— Do you have any paintings or drawings of your Goddess? — Miguel asks more politely. — If she looks like any of our cannis goddesses, I'll recognize her.Lightning passes through me.A hundred memories hitting me hard.Oh no…— You said I look like your goddess of lust — I murmur hoarsely, unaware of my next voice.Miguel looks at me for the first time in the last few hours, and his red eye opens wider with surprise, understan

There is a silent climb to the upper floors. Each one entangled in their own thoughts. I don't know what's going on in each of their heads, but in mine there is absolute disbelief.Am I the reincarnation of our Mother Goddess? Mirsai?If that were true, I'm supposed to be special in some way, right? I don't feel special. I don't feel any different knowing these things. I'm just myself still. Same Kim as always. Maybe a little more tired and beaten down by the events of the last few days, but definitely myself.I still don't know exactly what my place is in this world. I don't know what I'll do tomorrow. Or today.Arina and I go to the kitchen and get busy preparing the last meal of the day. Miguel and Azerai leave together, talking quietly to each other. The Iberiis are nowhere to be seen, and I try, if only for the last minute, not to think about anything we've just discovered.**We ate bread, fried vegetables, and meat from the deer that Miguel hunted and Azerai cooked over a fire
