“My ancestor?”
“Yes. He was exceptionally curious, as well as gifted and generous. Like you, he had a penchant for helping others and a great desire to protect those that were dear to him. Tell me, is it the belief of all of your people, that the blood that flowed within his heart now courses inside of you?”
“Well…well, yes.” he answered. “We are told that we all descended from the first ones of our kind.”
“Told to you by whom?”
“Our elders.”
“That is the failing of the record of time as it passed from generation to generation through word and memory…it bears a great propensity to yield error.”
“I..don’t understand.” Night admitted.
She offered him a warm, almost motherly smile. “You asked me why I have powers likened to those that you refer to as, the first ones. The truth is, anyone carrying the blood of those at the beginning have the capacity to tap into that well of ancient power of which you speak. Recently, during the lamentable devastation that the angry sea had wrought upon the children of this land, a land now dampened by the tears of the living, there was a girl that called upon that very power."

Aha! The plot thickens...
^_^ This is one of the reasons why I wanted to do this final chapter of the Great Flood. I had to restrain myself from posting more than this. But, more will be revealed tomorrow. ♡
