She flicks her hair and smiles, then speaks in a clear and gentle standard Southern English accent that contrasts sharply with her sizeable biceps. “When I was a little girl, my mother told me that when I grew up, I’d live the life of a Goddess. That men would worship me for centuries, that I'd know more pleasure in single nights than any human would in a lifetime, and that their world would be my playground, a place where I could have anything I desire.”
She gently touches the pentagram pendant of her necklace. “When I got older she told me that was because I'm the Granddaughter of a noble being called The Foremother, and that she wanted to meet me. She told me that of all The Foremother's perfect, beautiful descendants in the human world, I was one of the few worthy of being personally educated by her in the ways of our family. And so every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night, I’d dream, and through my dreams I’d travel to The Foremother’s realm, and we’d spend hours together.”
“She taught me how to use our bloodline’s abilities over men, how to speak in her tongue, and sometimes she’d tell me about other beings she encountered, or knew of. Honestly, I was around sixteen at the time, and my attention span was about what you’d expect, so I didn’t exactly listen to every detail of those long stories.” The pendant on Lexi’s chest suddenly flashes red rapidly, and she giggles before slipping into another language. “Peunitet, Zormather! Sed ist vru.”
After seemingly communicating with the pendant, Lexi switches back to English. “Anyway, while every little detail didn’t stick with me, there was something that often did. Names.”
