Somanca ( The Healer)

Epilogue

She loved on me in a languid manner like she wanted that moment to last for a while. Each stroke had my body quivering wantonly, helpless cries falling from lips as I relished in her touch.

The build up of pleasure finally reached its peak and I erupted blissfully in the arms of my lover, clinging to her as wave after wave of pure bliss surged through my being.

She too reached her complexion, convulsing against me in abandon, as she whispered my praises against my skin.

We remained locked to each other, coming down from our high. And it was in that moment that something awakened inside of me. The familiar heat of my power was unmistakable.

I felt the tendrils of my healing power spasm inside of me, leaving a tingle of revitalisation in its wake. I raised my hand behind Amanti, and saw the power rising from my fingers, extending beyond my digits in smoky, jade green tendrils.

" Amanti, " I said excitedly.

" What is it, my love?" She inquired, raising her hand to cup my face.

" My power has returned, " I informed her, barely holding back the happiness in my voice.

Her hand left my face then she curled her arm around my waist, pulling us closer to one another. " Calima has not deserted you, my sweet Somanca. You are after all her creation," she said with a soft smile.

My moment of happiness sobered as I thought of my village and my people who I left to be destroyed. I remembered my mission of finding the stone of Arekticus, which I did find. Sadly, I had failed to take the stone to my people in time and now I had to live with the fact that I had failed every single villager of Tellus.

" I lost the stone, Amanti." I revealed to her, fighting a sob.

" It is not your fault that your people were killed. You did everything you could at the time. And as heartbreaking as it is, maybe, things turned out the way they were supposed to. Everything happens for a reason. And don't worry about the stone. "

She nuzzled her face in the crook of my neck. " Maybe your mother knew what was going to happen and her sending you on that mission was merely her way to save you. " She pulled away eliciting a pained whimper from me. " Your mother sacrificed a lot for you. And I know wherever she is she'd want you to be happy. "

" I am happy, " I said, snuggling up against her. " I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life and it is thanks to you. You pulled from the pit of grief and pain. You have given me a reason to live. "

" I promise to cherish you forever, my beautiful Somanca. You'll never want for anything. Maybe our union came at the sacrifice of many lives and it is up to us to honour those lives by simply loving each other forever. It is a small price to pay, I can assure you."

I pressed a kiss to her jaw and then her lips. " I love you Amanti. "

" I love you too, daughter of Calima. Goddess strike me if I so as much as hurt you unintentionally or not. You are treasured, my beloved. And I vow to show you each and every day that I love you. "

My heart melted at her sweet words. I realised then that I had found my soul mate. I wondered if my biological mother had found her true mate that fateful night I was conceived? The thought drew a smile to my face.

The thought that she might have found true love soothed the ache of her death in my heart. I hoped she was at peace wherever she was. And if my father was dead, I prayed they were together. And if he was alive I hoped he still thought of her.

I had decided a long time ago that I would not look for him and I still stood by that decision. I had no reason to. Amanti was my family now and that was enough.

I had no idea what the future held for us but I was confident that we would overcome the forces that would try to tear us apart. I was hers forever and she was mine.

I would like to take this moment to thank everyone who gave my story a chance. I am happy that I got to share this small bit of my imagination with you. It has been a ride, a total of three to four years. And now I am more than happy that I completed it. Thank you for the votes which gave me the motivation to upload.

There will not be sequel unfortunately. It just feels right to end Somanca's tale right here. If you want to read more of my works check out my profile.
