1598 Words
“Why donʻt we take a little break and let you girls absorb the information that was just given to you about Magie Ancienne. Then when we talk again your Mama can tell you how you girls came to be a part of all of this” Grace said and this girls stood up and headed to their room.
-----------------
“Wow, that was alot to take in” Yarrow said
“I know right? But I believe the next part where we are involved will be just as much to take in as what we just heard. What a sad world we live in that people are so hyped on greed and power that they get blinded to the good that can be done” Holly said and the girls continued to talk among themselves while speculating about their involvement in the whole scheme of things.
-------------------
“Ro will you be telling them about Sabienʻs connection to Queen Sea-Bree?” Grant asked
“Probably not, the information they are getting now is already overwhelming. I donʻt want to confuse them any more by overloading them with too much information. Maybe later but not tonight” Ro said as the girls came back down
“Okay, we are ready to hear the part about us” Cinth said
“Alright well, letʻs begin then” Ro said
“So, ions ago your ancestors were from 2 separate packs. One of wolves and one of sorcerers. Both mighty in their own right. In fact they were so mighty that they became a threat to those around them seeking to expand territories. Because they were threatened so much, the 2 packs merged into an assembly to work together. Dark sorcerers tried to overtake your assembly but the magic along with the brute force of the wolf pack was too much to win over. Centuries past and tho the assembly remained peaceful, the threats continued. They never tried to expand their territory but the lands they occupied were prime for hunting AND it held a mega portal for magic. Well, a dark sorcerer kidnapped and drained the magic of 3 of each powerful supernaturals of every kind that possessed magic. Conjuring up a spell that would split the pack, his plan was to then drain the magic from all the sorcerers and take over. What he didnʻt expect was that the sorcerers were already 3 steps ahead and conjured their own protection spell. A prophecy.
No one knows what the prophecy says exactly but stories have been told that it says something to the effect of...if any magic wielding enemy comes to split the pack, that the split would not be by wolves and sorcerers but by night and day (thus dark and light). The magic cannot work one without the other, meaning not only does light and dark have to be together but wolf and sorcerer as well. It also says that when the spell is cast by the enemy that the enemy itself will lose the power they behold and live their remaining feeble life as human. As an added layer of protection the only way the pack can be reunited should the enemy succeed in the split, is to wait for 2 sets of twin girls from either side that share the exact opposites, each with 2 different color eyes. These girls, you girls will have inherited ALL the magic your ancestors lost and that of the dark sorcerer as well” she finished.
The girl's eyes grew wide at the thought of what kind of influence dark magic could have on them.
“This is why that Sabien person is after us, isnʻt it? He wantʻs our powers to battle Heka and Hecate for Magie Ancienne. Itʻs like history repeating itself” Holly said
“Yes baby, that is what we are thinking. But in order for him to get to you, he needs to have a way in. And that is what we are trying to avoid. We need you girls to be extra vigilant and the reason we said that all of you need to stay together at ALL times”
“Yes Mama, now we understand why itʻs important to not be alone” Jazzy said
“Thereʻs more sweeties” Ro said as they turned to listen “when your assembly was split they were transported to Saskatchewan where each assembly thrived separately under no guise of magic but rather a wolf pack with sorcerers. One had no idea the other half existed or that each was so close to the other. The sorcerers in your assemblies managed to practice basic magic but because of the separation, the magic was very limited. However, the portal where their original territory was, is still very much active but has not been used for centuries since the dark sorcerer became human” Ro stated
“Mama, itʻs Lake Minnewanka isnʻt it? And the Sirenʻs are Queen Sea-Breeʻs choir isnʻt it?” Yarrow asked
“Yes. hunny it is”
“But Mama, why is it that our prophecy is important to the Sirenʻs” Cinth asked
“Without going into too much detail just yet because youʻve already been overloaded with information…. I will say that you girls will be responsible for breaking the Sirenʻs curse and setting them free” Ro said
The girls were speechless. They knew they needed to help the Sirenʻs but the why was never revealed until now. Now they had a purpose.
They were all in deep thought as Ro, Grant, Grace and Constance watched them. They knew the girls were internalizing everything that was told to them. They just needed some time to digest it all.
“Are my ladies alright” Grant asked bringing them back to the present
“Yes Papa. Weʻre sad that our Lake friends were stuck there but happy that we are able to help them” Holly said
“And as for Sabien? He can eat dirt!” Cinth said with a menacing growl
Her sisters all looked at her and her crazy comment, she looked at them and realized what she said and they all laughed together.
“Girls?” Ro said as the girls looked at their Mama “The prophecy that was written for you, can only be accessed by you. You girls have the ability to call up the prophecy without having to go to the cave of souls to get it. I believe the prophecy may hold some answers or guidance in what needs to be done” Ro finished and the girls nodded.
“Okay, well why donʻt you girls get ready for bed” Grant told his girls as they stood up and kissed everyone goodnight before heading up to their room
“Iʻd like to keep them home from school tomorrow but I know itʻs ultimately their last day to say goodbye” Ro said
“Iʻll put an extra protection layer on all of them and a deception spell on them as well. I can only hope it helps against Sabien” Constance fretted “I need to do some research on Magie Ancienne and find out everything I can about Dark Sorcery beyond the veil. Itʻs not unheard of but itʻs also not commonly done”
--------------------
As the girls lay in bed and think about all the information they were given, itʻs hard for them to fall asleep. They turn on the light and sit to talk. Yarrow grabs a book and starts to doodle.
“Do you think Mama is gonna let us go to school tomorrow” Holly said “Iʻd be okay with staying home. Itʻs a creepy feeling knowing someones watching me”
“Holly, do you feel his presence when we are here at home? Cinth asked
“No I donʻt. Itʻs only when we are outside of the protective bubble of home. I guess he canʻt get to us while we are here” Holly mentions
“Well knowing Quin-Cee, she probably already put protections spells on us so weʻll be protected at school” Yarrow said as she continued to doodle.
“Have you ever noticed we changed the way we spelled Quin-Ceeʻs name over the years?” Yarrow said as she looked at the names sheʻs been writing in her sketch book among her doodling
“What does that have to do with anything?” Yazzy asked
“Nothing actually. But I just realized when we were small we spelled it Quinc-ee, then it was Quin-cey, then it was Quinsee and now itʻs Quin-Cee” she was rambling
“Okay, you have made me officially tired. I like the last one. Maybe we should stay with that one” Yazzy said
“I like Quin-cey” said Holly
“Oh magosh! Yarrow, look what you started. Can we just agree that whichever way we spell her name, she and Grandma will always be our 2X2?” Cinth moaned and they all agreed.
Turning out the light and heading to bed the girls drifted off to sleep heading into tomorrow.
