Sins of the Father

Chapter 29

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for the beta.
Thank you to everyone who has read this story. Sadly this is the last chapter of sins of the father. Time for it to end.

No one spoke, Q'wati's words left them all stunned.
Q'wati realized then he should explain further.
"Ah, pardon I did not elaborate further. The problem with this situation is that the ancient power that resides within Qahla has been with him for so long it has become attached to him. I could remove it and place it back in the earth but eventually, within several years it would find him again. If he remains here with the power it will soon begin to upset the natural order by awakening more of the ancient magic causing more spirits to materialize and cause humanity to regress into its ancient roots. The other option was for him to ascend to the higher planes of existence. Qahla found none of these to be satisfactory and thus after I searched for more satisfactory answers I discovered an avenue that will solve more than one problem."
"Death? How does killing a little boy solve anything?" Jake asked.
"Allow me to explain further. Death is perhaps too strong a word. Rebirth is more suitable. If Qahla was to restart his life then it would allow the power to be separated from him without it trying to reconnect with him again."
"Yes of course. With a clean slate the power would have no reason to leave the earth," Terra said. "But that would mean..."
He trailed off.
"Means what?" Jake demanded.
"In order for the rebirth to work Qahla must in essence cease to exist and start life again. Literally he must be born again," Q'wati said.
"What do you mean born again?" Jake asked.
"Well as you may know there is a belief that after a soul leaves its body it may return to the mortal world but as a new person. I would reincarnate Qahla, but instead of making a new body for him I would allow him to start his life over again. And as a bonus I have decided Leah should be the mother."
"What?" Leah asked looking surprised.
"Leah, I know recently you discovered the true nature of your reproductive system but have found it to be too limiting. As I said this will solve more than one problem. Qahla will be allowed to live a normal human life and you get the child you so covet. It also has a nice sense of continuity seeing how you were his mother in a past life."
"Wait what?" Leah asked.
"You do look a lot like mother did," Qahla said.
"I was Taha Aki's first wife?" Leah asked.
"In another life, yes. And you were Qahla's mother and now you can be again."
"But you are God. Can't you just will things to be right. You can do anything right?" Emmett asked.
"Yes. But there is an order to things. I can't just adjust the natural order to solve one problem," Q'wati said.
"It's a good deal," Kokopelli said.
"More then you deserve," Qamatis said.
"Qahla, if you do this there will be no going back. You will be human but you won't remember anything from this life," Terra said.
"I am sure. It's the only way," he said.
"No!" Claire yelled. "Please Qahla, don't do this. I don't want you to go!"
Qahla squeezed her hand. "It has to happen, Claire. It is the only way. I am tired of living a life of death and destruction. It is no life to live."
Jake walked over and knelt in front of Qahla. "I told you before Qahla. It is our sacred duty to protect the innocent."
"This is about more than me, Jake. This is about the whole world. You heard Q'wati. If I remain then my power will throw the order of things out of balance. At least in my new life I can still be with you all."
"And he will still be Qahla. I am merely returning him to his early development as a fetus to gestate inside Leah. Biologically speaking he will not be here child. But it will give her the chance to be a mother she craves. If she agrees, otherwise I will find another host."
"No, I want to do it!" Leah said.
"Leah, are you sure about this? Raising a child is hard work," Sam said.
"For so long I wanted a child. Then I find out I can but once more my genetics screw me over so only another shape-shifter can impregnate me. It is not exactly what I hoped for, but its better than the alternative," she said.
"You will make a good mother Leah. Now, let everyone say their good byes," Q'wati said.

While everyone took a moment to say their good byes to Qahla Terra decided to have a talk with Q'wati.
"I assume you know what I wish to speak with you about?" Terra asked.
"Your immortality?"
"Yes. I desire for you to end my life. I am sure it is well within the sphere of your power."
"That it is," Q'wati said.
"Then may I ask you end my life once you renew his?"
"You may ask but I fear the answer will have to be no."
Terra got a frustrated look on his face. "But why?"
"Because you have not yet fulfilled the purpose I gave you."
"What purpose?" Terra asked.
"Come now, Terra. Did you really think it was by cosmic chance you stumbled into my garden and ate from my fruit?"
Terra's eyes narrowed at him. "You...let me go there? You let me become this?"
"I did intend for you to become immortal as I intended for Adam and Eve. But you are as you are because of the things you have endured and the things you have chosen to do."
"But why? Do you know the things I have gone through? Over a hundred thousand years of pain, loss and regret!"
"And love, peace, beauty, family," Q'wati said.
"Well I am done with it! Pick someone else to be your little science experiment!" Terra growled.
"Terra, this is not an experiment. I allowed you to eat from my fruit because I needed a human who could see both the good and evil of the world from the mortal perspective."
"But why?"
"To answer a question."
"Which question would that be?"
"I'm ready," Qahla said.
Everyone had said their goodbyes and given him hugs. Quil held Claire's hand as she cried. Jake stood next to Qahla, his face hard.
Q'wati and Terra walked up to them. Terra knelt down next to Qahla and patted him on the head.
"Good bye little one. I am sure Taha Aki is proud of you," Terra said.
"Terra. Will it hurt?" Qahla asked.
"I don't know, I have never been reincarnated before. Though I am sure it will be like falling asleep."
"Terra. My life...it did have meaning right? I was more than just a weapon?" Qahla asked.
"You were never a weapon Qahla. You were the best thing that ever happened to our tribe," Jake said.
"Would you like to know a secret Qahla?" Terra asked.
"A secret?"
"Yes, the oldest secret," Terra said.
"Okay," Qahla said.
"This is a secret that I have told no one in a very long time. A secret that can only be taken to the grave," Terra said solemnly.
"What is it?"
"My name. My true name." Terra waved his hand. "Mute."
Suddenly no one was able to hear what the two of them were saying. Terra that save for the humans they all had enhanced hearing and did not want to be over heard.
He leaned in close to Qahla's ear and whispered.
"My mother was Blazing Sun. The most beautiful and powerful woman of the sun tribe. My father was Silver Moon, the wisest and most cunning of the moon tribe. But I who am their son they did call Pah-Ra. For I was their Beautiful Sky."
"Pah-Ra? That is your name? Your real one?" Qahla asked.
"Yes." Terra showed him the crystal that hung from his neck, the one with his name inscribed on it. "My parents decided since I was of both the moon and sun tribe my name should be of both. And they decided Pah-Ra because to them I was more beautiful than the sky itself."
"That's a nice name. Very pretty," Qahla said with a smile.
"I would have preferred something more inspiring but I can appreciate the simplicity of it," Terra said.
"Terra. I am scared," Qahla said.
"I know. If I could I would make it that you need not make such a sacrifice child. But take comfort knowing that in your new life you will be raised as a mortal child, with people that will gladly give their lives to protect you."
Terra leaned forward and kissed him on the head. "You are a brave and noble child Qahla. You could have and will make a fine human being. Speak."
Terra undid the spell and everyone could hear what they were saying.
"Come here Leah," Q'wati said.
Leah stepped up next to Qahla. "Thank you for agreeing to be my mother, Leah," he said.
Leah smiled at him. "I promise I will give you a safe and happy home Qahla."
"We all will Qahla," Jake said.
Qahla and Jake hugged one last time.
"I will miss you, Jacob."
"And I you. But we will meet again."
Claire quickly walked up to Qahla. "There is something I want to give you."
She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. When she pulled back Qahla had turned bright as a tomato. Quil stared open mouthed and Jake and Terra grinned at Qahla.
"I...never...kissed...a...girl...before," he stammered.
"I always wanted to do that but never had the courage. Until now," Claire said shyly. "Promise me we will be best friends again."
"I promise."
They hugged one last time and Quil picked her up and they stepped back. Q'wati stepped forward and placed his hand on Qahla's head.
"Go in peace child."
His hand glowed with a white light that began to surround Qahla. Qahla felt like he was turning into air, his thoughts and memories were becoming vaporous and hard to keep hold of.
"Is this what death feels like?" he asked himself.
Something caught his attention. From the corner of his eye he saw movement.
In the tree's Taha Aki and his brothers stood. His mother was with them now, she stood next to Taha Aki, his arm around her waist. They all smiled at him, his mother had tears in her eyes. But it did not hide the love and pride that shined from them.
"They came to see me off," Qahla thought to himself.
There was movement behind them, in the shadows. Qahla focused and saw it was Utlapa. He leaned against a tree, watching silently.
As Qahla looked into his eyes they shared an understanding. With one look they made peace with one another.
A bright light shined in the distance, the sun was rising.
"The sun...it's so...beautiful."
The white light covered Qahla's body save his cloths. The light began to condense into Q'wati's hand, Qahla's cloths and knife fell to the ground.
Qahla shined like a star in Q'wati's hand. Beautiful and pristine, returned to it's earliest stage.
"And now to remove the ancient magic. I suggest you all step back," Q'wati said.
Every stepped back. Q'wati reached into the shining ball of light. The wind blew hard and the earth seemed to tremble. From the white light Q'wati pulled out a roaring golden flame that shined as bright as the sun itself.
Quil shielded Claire from the light. The others all flinched as its brilliance blinded them. The air seemed to vibrate like an electrical wire. They could feel it, trying to smother them, its massive presence too great for their mortal bodies to be near.
Q'wati was not affected by it what so ever. He held it as easily as one might hold a rock or a flower. The other gods seemed to bask in the lights presence as a lizard might take comfort in the warmth of the son.
The ground began to shake and the others thought maybe the power was causing the earth to shake, a large hole opened. Q'wati held the light over it and let it drop. The hole filled back up as if it had never existed and things went back to normal.
"Good lord!" Carlisle said.
"Qahla, had that in him?" Sam asked amazed.
"Such power!" Jasper said.
"There, the power is back in the earth where it belongs. No for the final part," Q'wati said.
He walked over to Leah and placed the light that was Qahla against her stomach. He gently pushed it in her belly, where it could be seen as a faint glow that soon faded.
"It is done. Nine months from now Qahla will be reborn as a human child. But so you know he might still have a spark of awareness."
Leah placed her hands on her stomach. "Then we will teach him," she said.
"It's over now," Terra said.
"Yes, after six centuries this tale has come to a close. You all did well, given what you had to deal with. Fare well."
Q'wati vanished.
"Well that is done. We saved the world!" Kokopelli said.
Seth walked over to Leah. "Can't wait to see you tell mom your pregnant," he said.
Jacob picked up Qahla's breechcloth, necklace and knife up. "See you soon little guy," he said.
Terra was speaking to the gods. "I thank you all for showing up. Consider your debits to me paid," Terra said.
"We didn't just do it to repay a debit. We did it because this is our world too," Grandmother Spider said.
"It was a good fight, worthy of my skills. Though I suggest you train your servants a lot better next time," Qamatis said.
"They are not my servants," Terra said.
"Oh then what are they to you?"
Terra looked at the Cullen's and Quileute's.
"I don't know."
The gods disappeared. Some vanished into thin air, others in a flash of fire or light. Soon only Kokopelli was left.
"You know this won't be the end of it. Everything that has happened. The boy, Shade, you releasing your magic. The ripples will be felt for years to come," Kokopelli said.
"I know. I will handle it. The Quileutes need peace now. I will clean up the mess," Terra said.
"Wow, if I didn't know any better I would say you cared for them," Kokopelli said.
Terra was silent for several seconds. "Maybe I do...shit."
"Aw Terra made some new friends," Kokopelli teased.
"You might want to run," Terra said with a grin.
"What why?" Kokopelli asked.
Just then a scream pierced the morning air.
"KOKOPELI!"
Kokopelli paled. "By the Creator not her!"
A tornado blew forth from the woods. When it died down everyone saw a tall hunch back woman with several hunchbacked children with her and a small hunchbacked baby sitting on top of her back.
She looked around and her eyes landed on him. "There you are!"
"Sweetums, what are you doing here?" he asked nervously.
The woman began to stomp over to him. "Me? What about you! You have been away for weeks! You were supposed to be working! Instead I find you goofing off and saving the world!"
"Who is that?" Jake asked a smialing Terra.
"That is Kokopelli's wife. Kokopelmana," Terra said.
"I bust my hump cleaning our home and caring for our children! But do you care? No! Too busy slacking off!"
"But I was saving the world! It was for the greater good!" Kokopelli whined.
"I am your wife! There is no greater good then me! I am the greatest good you will ever have!"
She picked him up by the scruff of his neck.
"We are going home and you are going to rub all the sores out of my hump!"
"Help me!" Kokopelli called.
"Later," Terra said.
"Bye," Leah said.
"Don't forget to write," Jake said.
"Oh you ungrateful sons of-"
They disappeared in a whirl of wind and leaves.
"Watching Kokopelli be manhandled by his wife is strangely...uplifting," Edward said with a grin.
"You should see when he forgets their anniversary," Terra said.

The next day, the elders several of the wolves and some of the Cullen's were seeing Terra off.
They were at the edge of the reservation on a road. Terra had resumed his Quileute form.
He was on his way out. Everyone was seeing him go.
"You can stay, you are more than welcome," Billy said.
"No, my time here is done. My mission was to end the tragedy of Qahla. My mission is fulfilled, time for me to move on," Terra said.
"But what about the shamans?" Jake asked.
"What about them? They know enough to teach themselves from here."
"Just when we get used to you and that oh so loveable charm," Leah said snarkily.
"Well I was thinking about staying to watch you bloat like a blimp then pop out Qahla but I'd rather not have to listen to you squeal like a pig during labor."
"Oh you mother-"
"Anyway-Billy interrupted giving Leah a look- where will you go now?"
Terra shrugged. "Here, there. Everywhere. Same old same old," Terra said.
Terra shook hands with everyone. "Take care all of you."
Terra turned to leave.
"Terra," Jake said.
"Yes?"
"Don't be a stranger. Come and visit sometime."
"We'll see," Terra said.
He continued to walk down the road.
"Well, time for things to settle down again," Leah said.
"Are you insane? We have to get ready for Qahla to be born again. We need to make a nursery, and baby supplies and then we got to figure out what we are going to do when they ask about the father," Sue said.
Embry and Leah shared a look. They smiled and held hands. Sue of course noticed this.
"What's this then?" she asked.
"Well, Leah and I decided that I should be the father," Embry said.
Sue's eyes got round. "Wait what?"
"Embry, are you saying you are willing to take responsibility for Qahla? To claim him as your child?" Billy asked.
"Yeah. Leah and I talked about it last night and during the last month we have found out there is something between us."
"Dude, nice!" Jake said giving him a high five.
"So, have you told your mother yet?" Old Quil asked Embry.
Embry's smile vanished. "Not yet."
"Oh this will be good," Jake said.

A few days later Terra was waiting for Mikhail to show up so they could play chess.
But he was late, it was unlike him to be late to play chess.
He saw a man he recognized as a friend of the old Russian's and stood up and walked over to him.
"Excuse me. Do you know where Mikhail is? I have been waiting for him to play a game of chess."
The old man gave him a look. A look he knew all too well.
"I am afraid he died a few weeks ago. He went in his sleep."
"Oh...okay, thank you."
Terra sat back down at his table. He sat there for a few hours, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and the sounds of the birds chirping.
"He's in a better place if it is any consolation."
Terra looked up to see Q'wati sitting across from him.
"Do you enjoy making me suffer?" Terra asked glumly.
"Enjoy? My dead boy what ever made you think that?"
"Because you let me eat that damned apple! I wouldn't be in this state if you hadn't allowed me to become immortal!"
"If not you then it would have been someone else. You just happened to be more convenient."
"Convenient?" Terra whispered.
"Fear not Terra. You will one day die permanently. This will not last forever," Q'wati said.
"You mean the question that I am to answer?"
"Yes. This is a question only someone who has seen the world at it's beginning can answer. Someone who watched it grow and mature."
"And what is the question?"
"Was it worth it?"
"Was what worth it?"
"Life, death, good evil. Was existence worth it?" Q'wati said.
"Why is that such an important question?" Terra asked.
"Because it is a question we all ask ourselves," Q'wati said.
"And how much longer must I endure before this question can be answered?" Terra asked.
"Until the end I am afraid."
Terra clenched his fists. "Can't you get someone else?"
"No, you are the only one who can answer it," Q'wati said.
"And how long before the end?" Terra asked, a little more hopeful then he should have been.
"Well, that is another question altogether."
Q'wati vanished leaving Terra alone to think. He picked up the pawn from the chess board.
"And to think, all these years I thought I was a king."

One year later
Over at the Clearwater house everyone had gathered.
It was a nice day and they were having a barbecue.
Edward and Bella were there with Nessie, the rest of the Cullen's had moved a while ago, being unable to remain any longer.
Leah, Embry, Sam and Emily were with their children. Sam and Emily had a baby girl they named Anna. Qahla had been born a month after Anna.
Just as Q'wati said Qahla was a regular human child. Though Rachel did say there was potential for him to be a shaman. The only thing that was different about him was his eyes which were now black where once they had been a molten yellow.
Embry's mom had been upset when they told her Embry was the father. She did not think he could handle the responsibility do to his rebellious nature.
But that changed when they told her the truth and Embry phased in front of her.
As far as the rest of the tribe was concerned Embry was Qahla's father.
Sam and Emily had gotten married. Emily had barely shown her pregnant tummy in her wedding dress. Leah had been the maid of honor and it didn't hurt her as much as she once thought it would.
Embry and her were still going strong. There was even talk about them getting married one day, but for no they were content to wait things out.
Everything was perfect. No more spirits, no more ancient evil. Things had once again become blissfully boring besides the occasional vampire that needed to be dealt with.
Jacob watched everyone proudly, happy that in the end everyone got what they wanted.
He heard the sounds of a car pulling in the drive way.
He walked to the front to see who it was.
A black nineteen fifty-seven Cadillac had pulled up. A woman got out. She had porcelain white skin, red hair and bewitching green eyes.
She carried a blue box with her.
"Can I help you?" Jake asked.
"I came to visit Qahla. Brought him a gift," she said.
"Do we...know you?" Jake asked.
"It's me Jake."
"..."
"Terra."
"Tara who?"
"No you moron. Terra, the guy who helped save your ass's last year."
Realization dawned on him then. "Terra?"
"Yes. And I go by Elizabeth now. I brought a gift for my reborn protégée."
Terra...errr Elizabeth began to walk to the back of the house.
"But...you're a woman now," Jake said.
"Yes, I decided to switch to a different gender. It is actually a very enlightening experience seeing the world through the eyes of a woman. Could do without the menstrual cycle though," Elizabeth said.
"Just when I think you can't freak me out any more," Jake said.
The two of them walked up to the proud parents. The looks on their faces when they realized they were talking to Terra was priceless.
Elizabeth's gift turned out to be a stuffed wolf plushy. Eleanor revealed she had bought a shop in Seattle that was an actual magic shop.
"Of course the mundies think it is just another hand me down new age store," Elizabeth said. "I have decided to clean up the residual psychic energy Shade left in Seattle. He may be dead but his influence can still be felt and it best the city be scrubbed clean before it breeds some evil."
Eleanor stayed the rest of the night interacting with everyone. It was dark out when she decided to return to her home.
"I think I might stay for several years. At least until Qahla comes of age. His power may be gone but his blood line is still potent and he still has great potential," she said to Leah before she left.
Eleanor even made plans with Rachel to attend the next shaman meeting. To exchange notes and spells.
Though she acted nonchalant about it, Jacob was sure that Terra had become attached to the tribe. More attached then she dare admit.
Before he left to go home Jacob offered to put Qahla to bed for Leah and Embry. He gently put the little Quileute in his crib and kissed him on the head.
"Good night Qahla."
Jake reached into his pocket and pulled out the necklace made from the stone that had once imprisoned Qahla. He placed it in the crib and watched as the baby began to suck on one of the pebbles in his sleep.
Yes there are many kinds of secrets in the world.
There are the secrets we keep to avoid someone being hurt.
There are secrets we keep to keep ourselves from being hurt.
There are secrets we keep because they are not ours to tell.
And there are secrets that are kept to keep a person safe.
Like many things in life there are many points of view on secrets.
Parents tell their children secrets are bad, secrets are like lies. We tell them we should never keep secrets, truth and honesty is what is best.
So it is ironic that while parents tell their children these things, they are in fact lying already.
Everyone has a secret. Some are small and don't really matter. Others could cause great catastrophe if learned.
But in the end all secrets will be revealed.
And now there is one less secret in the world, but plenty more to go.

Fusedtwilight: And that is that. I hope you all enjoyed sins of the father. I had a great time adding Native American mythology into the story with all the spirits and gods and such. I hope you all enjoyed the story.
