Hmm Maybe the start of a new FF

They had always said that it was giving birth to me that killed Mama; that in bringing me into this world she had given the greatest gift a mother could ever - her life for the sake her child. But I know different; finally I understand. It wasn't the loss of blood that sealed my mother's fate, but the loss of her heart.

DevRakshika... that's what they call us.

We are the revered protectors; respected but destined to be alone. Never to seek the solace of anyone but our God, our relationship and devotion with Him the only intimacy we would know. Unless it became necessary; then to propagate and secure the lineage we would become more. Cold lovers: some would say, one step higher than a prostitute only because of our mission, we would lay with a man as often as necessary in order to conceive. They would receive blessings through our union, and we will secure our future...

My name is Radhika and evidently, my birth mother was DevRakshika. And she desperately tried to save me from my heritage, begging Papa to take me away right after my birth and hide me from the fate she did not want for her daughter. She could not bear the unjustness of her life to be visited on another girl child, and because Papa loved her, he did what she asked.

In that moment, Mama experienced love in its purest form; for the man who had seen more to her than a vessel for his desire, and for the doe eyed child she had borne him. The curse, one hundred years in the making was swift and cruel. My name was the last words she uttered, and I would like to think that in that instant her blessings for me for a happy life would have followed. But Papa said that she was gone so quickly... And he had followed suit, spiriting away the precious bundle as he had promised...

* Interpretation of DevRakshika life-style, totally my own, and I hope not offensive to anyone... If I continue I will research , cause that's what I do...so hopefully not offensive, but the curse made m wonder ok even if they cannot love/ marry they will still need someone to carry on their line... Anyway I hope it's not offensive to anyone😊
