Homecoming

Homecoming

Prologue

"Are you sure, you want to mark this person as your chosen one?"

"Yes, that's true"

"But he is pathetic! He was just... standing there!"

"It's not that important, what exactly he did. Much more important is why he chose to do it."

"I don't understand..."

"Don't you worry, child, one day you will see by yourself. He is going to be an outstanding one."

Sometimes your misfortune starts with blessing. Whoever said that was truly wise person...

It was heavily raining in the capital that night. Gravel tiles of the street were all but covered with water, almost causing her to slip. Girl, who was wearing a long, dark cape, chuckled with a tint of irony: that very moment, when the Will of Celestial Goddess was carried out, no one could see even a single star!

Though, it wasn't her place to worry about something like that. She was but a mere servant now. Not to mention, exiled one. So she hurried, not paying attention to the pouring rain or a lazy roar of thunder in the distance. Her destiny will be fulfilled soon, and then she will return to the Heaven.

But now her true destination was this small, silent and somehow pityful-looking mansion at the very border of the large city.

It was surprisingly easy to get inside, considering the occasion. Old butler at the door just asked for newcomer's name along with recommendation letter, took her drenched cape and let her in without any further questioning. The girl confidently walked past her new peers, who were gossiping quetly among each other.

Then — past the bedroom, where owners of this house, husband and wife, were huddled together, as if in grief. Honesty, one may think, somebody is dead. Not that they were wrong, but it wasn't their problem anymore. Apparently, it was hers now. Humans! Luckily, she was here to clean the mess.

At last, she entered the nursery and stopped before a small cradle. Newborn baby boy ceased his tiny mewlings at once and just stared at her in wonder with his huge innocent eyes.

"Welcome back, my star-crossed master," the maid sighed, taking a warm bundle in her arms and rocking it softly. "Veronica is ready to serve you".

The boy smiled shyly, not leaving the girl any other choice, but to pinch his chubby cheek. The look of sheer betrayal, that crossed baby's tiny face was truly hilarious to see. Probably, being a servant was not that bad, after all...

"If I may to remind you," Veronica said as respectfully, as she could with the most polite smile ever. "You are supposed to be too young for such a complicated display of emotions..."

Her master answered with a huff and tried to turn his head, already adorned with a few silky and extremely curly red-brown strands of hair, away from her. To no awail, of course. Poor thing. He was probably thinking, that he was complitey screwed now. But something told Veronica, he still had no idea, how true it was.
