was all true. It was then that she understood why Johann had taken this little break; he wanted her to process all of the things he had been telling her. Her mind raced and reeled and she saw everything all over again. She did not even know when she got out of the pond and laid down until she awoke. It had been several hours since lunch. “Please Johann, get on with the story. I need to hear more. I’ve started seeing it unfold and feelings are coming to me.” Johann nodded his head and began once more.
“Johann and Rissy spent more and more time together except when Rissy was preparing for the wedding, and were very happy. It was not long, however, when Rissy began having nightmares about Johann dying. He told her that they were just silly dreams because she was nervous and that he too had been having similar nightmares about being separated from her. This relieved some of her tension but not all.
One day as Johann was gathering wood and herbs Rissy came to him very frightened and would not leave him. She coaxed him into making love to her though he protested knowing this was against her beliefs. So you know the story and that he and Sera were mortally wounded and Sera died on her way to Valhalla and he was saved. Rissy was terrified when he came back but after a time she found herself in his arms once more.
What most people do not realize is that Johann and Rissy consummated their love after his rebirth and there were children from their union. They were a mix of angel and witch and became more powerful. The blood that flowed through their veins was dominant and remained that way no matter who they married. If they followed through on the righteous path and doing good works, then they became stronger and if not they became weaker.
This went well for centuries and through time the power of the Moonshower clan became held in high regard, however there came a time in which a new religion sprang up and as it spread so did intolerance and ignorance. Johann had always stayed close to the family and married an incarnation of Rissy who went by Risanne.”
“Johann, you’ve mentioned Risanne several times since we have met. Is this the same one?”
“Yes Rissy she is.”
“Did you love her?”
“I did. Listen Rissy maybe I should wait a little longer.”
“No, I am ready to hear it. I can deal with this so stop treating me like a little girl. I am a woman.” Rissy was surprised that this came out so forcibly. She wondered if Johann would be angry with her. This was the response he wanted from Rissy. He needed to make sure that her personality was strong enough for this. “Why do you talk in third person in these stories?”
“Because it flows easier, Rissy.”
“Well are you going to tell me more about Risanne?”
“Yes but at the next break we will be traveling back to the house.”
“I have no problem with that. I need a shower and I think I’m going to steal yours.”
Johann thought this was exactly like something Risanne would have said. This intrigued him.
“Many years passed after Rissy died perhaps even centuries. Johann had no sense of time; he only knew that it had seemed like a long time to him. This is the same being that in the year 2009 said that the Roman Golden Age was only a few weeks ago.”
Johann winked but Rissy had her eyes closed, but a smile did cross her lips. She remembered him talking about Rome one day when they were discussing their honeymoon a few weeks ago. They were discussing the Coliseum. He said something about games being held there and that he would like to go. Rissy then showed him a picture that showed the ruins of it. She had thought he was joking, but not so much now.
