"Did you realy needed that tool mother ? Couldnt you just look for prince with your famus finger snap trick ? You did find dying me amongst all people here in capital" I asked.

"As Demigod - no. But i put lots of effort to play role of mortal here. I am constantly trying to consume my own divine soul just so i am able forget things for few moments or make me think slower - just to be as close human as possible. I already decided extent of powers by the end of Deal. Dont consider me as Demigod. I am awesome mage, 'blessed' by Spirit of Lightning now. Power and mana reserves i gave body have limits, a lot but with limits. After all, supposedly i just recently got all this shit he he. And with blessing of 'Spirit of Lightning', Celina weak and fragile turned into powerful and charming, hmm .. should just stay with awesome ? Uhh back to topic, this 'Spirit of Lightning' is not made up, i actualy created it. Didnt miss all this lightning over surface of my body right ? Besides many other bonuses, it can even help defend while you are sleeping. From this day forth our and our only offsprings will have one of their own at birth too. Custom made genes and shit like that. Cant be 'Empress of Lightning' for nothing he he he. Oh wait a second .. umm that doesnt include you, i altered my genes 'after' i got pregnant. Lets fix that ...aaannd ... there, good as new. Would be so awkward if you were the only child without inherited 'Spirit of Lightning' he he. Anyway i will get stronger with time, my efforts as mage and world affecting me. There are only few exception, like interference of self proclaimed gods or similary annoying pest trying ruin my story. Full power Demigod will eat them without mercy he he." Finished mother her long explanation.

"Ouch that hurt" I complained when she gave me 'blessing' of Spirit. "You already have nickname for yourself ? Why does it sound like that is your main goal ?"

"I ha .. have no idea what you are talking about little Nina." Said mom and started to whistle.

"A ..anyway we have prince to save" She quickly added and with lightning shining stronger started to run at incredible speed. We passed many soldiers on the way, but by the time they even noticed our passing, we were hundreds meter away. On sharp turns mom ran on walls for few seconds before starting run back on floor. Behind us we could hear soldiers shouts only far into distance. Our speed was just incredible like this. Occasionally some soldiers were sent flying by accident push. I couldnt help but chuckle every time it hapened and mom started to bump into them more often. Soon we reached dungeons of Palace. With bang and flying wood splinters, we entered holding cell and finaly stoped.

"Hmm not bad, not many would guess entrance to secret escape tunnel in holding cell for prisoner. Hmm lets not search for switch or somthing and leave with a bang." Said mother and lightning surounding us started intensify and soon we turned into lightning. We charged forth, destroying walls and ceiling all around us, into tunnel behind hidden wall. Destruction caused collapses right behind us. But after few seconds of flight we returned from lightnig form to human and continued forward by runing. Just those few seconds in lightning form let us travel most of the tunnel.

But now with runing we didnt caused cave ins behind us. When enemy will find entrance there will be no way to follow. Would be easier to dig new tunnel. Not long after, we were reaching end of tunel and saw group of cloaked people resting. Mom reduced runing speed and by time we reached them it was just a bit faster than normal human being.

"Halt ! Who are you ?!" shouted one cloaked man. And like others had his weapons drawn.

"Celina Darkmoon, third daughter of duke Raven Darkmoon and heir of Darkmoon House." Answered mother and did courtesy.

"Raven Darkmoon ? I heard he died. Celina .. Celina. Ah yes. They had heir by such name." muttered another. And i could notice tail below cloak. Demi-human ?

"Celina ?" Another man got pass others surrounding him and looked at mother.

"Yes i remember you. We meet at Palace during my seventh birthday. Im Prince Tomas Goldmore, first son of our King Julian Goldmore." Introduced himself prince while removing hood from his head. He was human with long blonde hair, blue eyes and sharp brows. Guardians relaxed a bit, but still keept vigilant.

"Mmmm ... not bad" whispered mother while checking his body all over.

"Mother !" I complained and she returned her gaze to his eyes.

"Was .." added prince with sad face. "You probaly heard about my father ... by any chance know anything about my mother ?" He asked.

"My condolence, from what i learned they are all dead. But stay strong, its our duty to make our enemy meet same fate. It might take time, it might be hard, but we will make that day come." Said mother and lightning started dance with ferocity. Quite often leaving her body and striking walls of tunnel making rocks crack or in rare cases even explode.

"Ye ..yes you are right" Said prince with determination showing up on his face. Then he looked at lightning around mother and asked "What is this lightning ? I dont remember any reports about you catching any curse like that. Is this some kind of enhancement ?"

"Oh ... he paid special attention to reports about me ? he he" whispered mother and then answered loudly "This is 'Spirit of Lightning'. In the darkest hour of my need, it came answering my cry for help and offered Deal. In exchange for me being its vesel for life and all my descendants for its children, we can use their power." Said mother while looking at her hand, and lightning like living thing was concentrating there giving image of docile pet.

"I never heard of anything like that. Hmm world still has many mysteries to offer, but still ... do you have full controll over it ? It wont attack us when you sleep right ?" Asked prince with curiosity in his eyes and a bit of fear.

"Though Its affected by my emotions, It shouldnt act if there is no hostility towards me. As for full controll i dont know. So far strangest thing i did was fly by turning into lightning." Answered my mother.

"Whoa .." was all prince managed to say with admiration sparkling in his eyes. Yes i can understand him. Flying is awesome.

"Your Exellency" said another cloaked men and i noticed eyes glow from the hood. Another demi-human ?

"We should hurry. That sound of explosion earlier means they found entrance. We dont have much time if we want to leave undetected."

"Oh about that .. im afraid that was my doing. I kind of blew up part of tunnel when flew here he he." said mother and started acting embarrassed with one finger near her lips and playing with dirt on the ground with her shoe.

"Then they foud it by now only from sou ... what happened to the tunnel after you passed miss ?" cloaked man started as rant only to change into question with calmed voice at the end.

"It collapsed. So no pursuit incomming he he. Umm you wont ask for compensation right ? I toke some gold from manor but its deffinatly not somthing that can cover cost of secret tunnel." Answered mother then with fear looked at coin purse attached to her side.

"Ha ha ha" laughed prince "You are different from what i remeber. Mmm more playful. It suits you." Said prince with smile on his face.

"But we should go, without portal journey is far. And if Zolmor decides not to wait for word to spread about fall of royalty ..." Interupted another companion of prince this with femine voice.

"To cause infighting and surrender of remaining Houses ?" interrupted mother this time.

"Yes. That would be logical choise from their side, but we should hurry just in case" finished female companion.

"I have sister at Aizerus Alliance. She bellongs to Newblood house now, im sure they would offer shelter for us." Mother offered.
