As a few minutes passed, she was done thinking and collecting her thoughts, so Johanna looked at her sons, she felt proud of how far they had come. But she had something important weighing on her mind—a secret she had kept from them for too long. With a deep breath, she called her sons to her side. They gathered around her, curious and expectant, noticing that she is about to tell them something significant.
“My sons,” Johanna began, her voice steady but worried with emotion, “there’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago.” Ethan and Noah exchanged confused glances but remained silent, waiting for their mother to continue. “You see,” Johanna continued, “I have powers that have changed our lives in ways you may not have realized.”
She paused, gathering her thoughts, before revealing the truth about her abilities.
“Firstly,” she began, “every monster within a 100-kilometer radius is drawn to me. They can sense my presence, which is why we’ve always had to be cautious and you and me had to stay in the cave.”
Ethan and Noah listened intently, their eyes widening in realization as they grasped the significance of their mother’s revelation, only now understanding why their lives were as restricted as they were.
“But that’s still not everything,” Johanna continued. “Every monster I have had sex with, I have the power to turn them to dust at will.” The statement hung heavy in the air, and Ethan and Noah exchanged a look of even more awe.
“And there’s even more,” Johanna added, her voice softer now, almost hesitant. “After fucking a monster, I gain a part of its ability. It’s one of the reasons why I’ve been able to “protect” and provide for us all these months.” Finally, Johanna revealed the last of her secrets. “And perhaps most importantly, any monster I have fucked with becomes obedient to me. It’s the true reason we’ve been able to live here, I had sex with your dad and now I control him.”
As Johanna finished speaking, a heavy silence settled over the room, the weight of her words sinking in. But amidst the quiet, there was also a sense of understanding, a newfound appreciation for the sacrifices she had made to keep them safe. She added, “Of course, you two were already loyal to me; that’s the reason you will notice no changes at all.”
With her final resolve, Johanna disclosed, “Furthermore, my task to sleep with all monsters on this planet was bestowed upon me by a higher power, by what I assume is God Himself. It’s a duty I have to fulfil since the day I arrived in this world.”
Ethan and Noah stood in stunned silence, their minds grappling with the enormity of their mother’s revelation. “And one last thing,” Johanna added, her voice tinged with sadness. “I am not from this world. I come from another realm entirely, a place far beyond anything you can imagine. God offered to restore my destroyed body, which he did, but in turn, I have to complete this task.”
As her sons processed her words, Ethan stepped forward, a mix of disbelief and admiration in his expression. “Mother,” he began, his voice filled with awe, “we had no idea… But we accept you, wholly and completely, powers and all.” Noah nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting a newfound respect for their mother. “Yes,” he added, his voice tinged with emotion, “you have always been there for us, guiding and protecting us. We trust you, no matter what.” Tears welled in Johanna’s eyes as she enveloped her sons in a tight embrace, overwhelmed with gratitude and love for the understanding and acceptance they had shown her.
After a moment of embracing her sons, Johanna took a deep breath, her gratitude mingling with a newfound sense of concern. “You know, Ethan,” she began tentatively, “I’m not entirely convinced that you’re the best fit for the role of village chief. You’re adventurous and brave, but perhaps not as coolheaded as Noah.”
It was a difficult thing for her to say about her own son, but it was necessary, for the sake of the village and her sons futures. Noah and Ethan exchanged a knowing glance before bursting into laughter, their amusement evident. Johanna furrowed her brow, unable to comprehend the source of their mirth.
“Don’t be upset, Mom,” Ethan chuckled warmly. “You look adorable when you’re trying to be angry. But to address your concern, that’s something Noah and I figured out long ago. I’ve agreed on a different role, more suited to my strengths, while Noah steps into the position of chief.”
With Ethan’s explanation, Johanna’s worries faded like morning mist. Relief washed over her, knowing that her sons had already resolved her concerns.
