Chance called after me. But I didn’t want to listen to him – I didn’t want to listen to anybody! I only wanted to be alone with my thoughts, only wanted to have some time and space to deal with what it was I had just heard. How could it be true? My mother – the River Goddess Yami? How could she never have told me this before? With Water deities from all over the ocean out to get me – my own mother was one of my enemies? The pounding in my head blinded me; I could barely hear from the ringing in my ears. Tears were streaming down my face. All the confusion I had endured, all the uncertainty about my own identity – all of that could have been avoided if only my mother had been honest with me. But instead I had been plunged into a world I could not control, a world filled with wars and alliances and romances bigger than I was. Emotions I couldn’t handle. I’m sixteen, I said to myself. I’m supposed to be going to high school, making good grades, planning for college, picking a career, hanging out with friends, dating boys.
