The Ganeswolf

A Witch's tale: Letters from Levand

Salinas POV:

I woke up, the morning after Levands body showing up and my heart was feeling the pain of loss just as sharp as the pain all those years ago when I lost him the first time. I never under stood why he didn't tell me what was going on. I am his mother. I thought we were close. I could feel the tears sliding over my cheeks. I didn't even bother to wipe them away knowing the flow would not be easily wiped away before being replaced with more. How does a mother cope with loosing her child more than once. I held the lifeless form that had been before me. I could feel the magic that had preserved his body. He still looked youthful. He looked to be sleeping. How is that possible all these years later. I wanted to hold him forever. My heart could not accept that I had lost him yet again.

I remember my sister mind linking me bringing me back to the present. The thirteen, standing looking at me full of sympathy. Normally when we lost a member of the coven the entire coven could feel it. In this case the pain of separation had not effected any other witches or warlocks as Levand had separated from the coven many years ago. I being his mother am reliving every ounce of the loss all over again. He was special. Everyone loved him was my opinion of him. His murder had been a shock. Getting no answers for the cause of it keeps the wounds open. I know that I will never completely heal. he is my son and the bond will ever cry for justice.

This Nelaf thing that he left me with, how could he not leave me with more than that. I tried to meditate and search my memories and no where is there a mention of this Nelaf thing or being. Its not a known spell. It could be a spell that is unknown. With out any way of knowing the spell the name would be useless. I search for a being and no aura of a Nelaf could be felt.

The tears continues to flow. I was now more at a loss than before loosing him twice.

Sengerys POV:

I remember grasping the rolled parchments as my fingers trembled. The swaying of the long length robe I was wearing sliding in a swooshing back and forth motion as I walked in haste to Levand's mothers dwelling. She had a small quaint little home that she had created out of the base of a huge sequoia tree. She had used a touch of magic to shine up the outside. Miniature windows, peep holes, like that of a ship could be found strategically placed circling the place she called home. Each had a different decorative theme. Each of a different color.

As I walked closer, walking this same walk I made multiple times as a kid. The suns rays had been shining on the windows reflecting a perfect array of colors across the landscape of the front lawn. I had always imagined that I was walking across a rainbow. She had small sitting benches at the four points of directions. I loved sitting on the North bench. The benches were each special. When you would sit the North bench the moonflowers that wrapped the legs of the bench's vines would begin to grow and seem to float in midair as the thorny vine would produce a tiny pod that would unfold and display its magical white bloom. The blooms would spin off the vine and float away. Levands mother had always told us that if the bloom floated our way we were to close our eyes, make a wish and blow the blooms away from us so that it could tote our wishes to the Moon Goddess.

This walk was not the same as when we were kids and we came sneaking back after spending our days spying on the elders. Many of my wishes had been to cover my tracks from the elders after feeling as we had been caught. Levand had never revealed what his had been as he swore he never made any. He just blew them to show me he could blow them further than I could.

I had once imagined myself growing up and the Moon Goddess pairing me with Levand. I even wished it so once or twice. Then we had become young adults and life happened and we had went our separate ways. I had found my mate in a Warlock from another clan. He is not Levand but he makes my heart sing. We did not have children as I was unable to and I did not want to have a child unless my body conceived on its own. Magic based births always came with a catch. I had seen some of the evil that had came with that catch and I would not choose to risk it. My mate had understood and we have enjoyed our times traveling between both covens as neither of us had cut ties with our coven. I enjoyed that we had two homes and two large families in the covens of our birth.

Stepping across the colored stones that led to the front entrance I could see movement passing the portal holes closest to the door. I knew that as I stepped closer the door would swing open as she had always done. I only managed to get to knock once in all the years I had visited. I truly believe that once was her feeling sorry for me after I had come seeking Levand to cheer me after having a rotten day in Witches101 as I liked to call my lessons. My foot inched forward to reach the last step and the door swung wide. Levands mother reached out and snatched me forward. Hugging me with all her might. She had always looked fragile. This strength I felt was not from a witch that was fragile that was for sure. I could feel her tears as they soaked thru my robe to reach my bare skin. My body could feel the strength of her grief as each tear was felt.

I gently began to separate us when I felt her hand grab mine. Holding my hand as she continued to hold me. I could hear her mindlink come thru in a pleading tone as she begged to hear the answer that I knew what Nelaf was and that I was sent here to help her help her Levand. The tears that I had been holding now began to flow freely as I brokenly reply. "Yes, I know what Nelaf means. Yes I am here to help you find answers, I however do not know those answers." Reaching my free hand up I showed her the scrolls that were hidden from sight. She motioned me into the dwelling as she fought hard to regain her composure. I began talking to allow her more time to get control of her emotions. Knowing that I was fighting hard myself. He was after all my childhood love. I explained to her what Nelaf meant from our youth. That it had allowed me to find the scrolls. I had not read the one addressed to me as of yet. I felt it only right to read mine in the presence of his mother.

Ms. Salina, I am going to read aloud the letter written to me. I only ask that you listen while I read mine. Then you can read yours as you see fit.

Levand's letter to Sengery:

My dearest Sengery,

I have dreaded that you would have to one day be reading this. First let me say that I have deeply missed you. You have always been my closest ally . I deeply regret the distance that has came between us. That is my fault. As my life changed. It opened doors for me that were hard for me to share. I now realize that not sharing these moments with you has caused me much anguish. I have no right to ask but, alas I am still going to ask it and hope that you will find it your heart to grant me this last wish.

Please stand by my mothers side. She will need you greatly in the days ahead. I have a daughter that is hopefully still hidden safely with in site. She will not know you or our kind. She has been protected as much as it was with in my powers to do. In protecting her I hope that I have kept my mother and you safe as well. Simply by my enemies lack of knowledge if for no other reason. Be careful of Luther if he still lives and breaths. He will end you all if he learns of our connections. His vow was to end all that I held dear. He has done enough of that already. I dared not let him do more.

And lastly please forgive me. Much love,

Levand

Singerys Pov:

I of course knew that I would stand by his mother. I still don't understand the letter was short and vague. No real clues could be pulled from what he had written. I looked at Salina as I read about Levands daughter. She did not look surprised to hear of her. I don't know who Luther is. Or from where he resides. The daughter in plain site, that I find hard to believe or we would have found out about her sooner than this. I waited in silence allowing Salina to think.

Salinas Pov:

I am angered. The shortness of information. The unknown enemy that he kept us in the dark about. I could have helped protect my son. He is a warlock. He was destined to be a great warlock. I had seen this come to pass in my visions as he was growing. No where in my visions did it share that I would loose him before that came to pass. I look over at Sengery and mind link her that I will read my letter to her thru our mindlink as I wasnt sure if I could my voice steady in the reading of it.

I let out a long sad sigh, Singery broke the spell on the scroll, and I opened it fully to begin to read.

Levands letter to his mother(Salina),

My dearest Mother,

I can not put enough love in writing this to you. I am at a loss. All I can do now is hope I have planned well enough to protect you all. I deeply love you. I am so sorry for the hurt that I have caused. I hope that with the task I am begging of you it will bring you the joy I have missed out on. I am hoping that you will allow Singery to be by your side. I trust her to stand fast beside you. I love and trust her mother nearly as much as I love and trust you. Together, I am giving you both the task of my daughter safety.

Nelaf, my Nelaf, is my daughter. She is named after you mother. Her name is Salina S. Nelaf. If all is well she should be reaching her maturity. She is special. She is a hybrid mother. She is half us, and her other half from her mothers genes is werewolf. I have hidden her in the werewolf world. I felt her safety was to hide her directly in the path of the one that was hunting her. I am hoping by now that he has either given up or dead. I tried to hunt her future. When I looked ahead all it gave me was colored smoke. I have never been left with a complete haze to go by so I am hoping that I made the right decisions. She is apart of the Coldmoon Pack if all is well you will find her there. You will not be welcomed. Alpha Luther of the Coldmoon pack would be the reason for my death.

Seek out the family of Indy Coldmoon. They will help you. Be careful in sharing who you are. There are many that that will not help for fear of the Alphas rath. He is evil. He is also the reason I have my Nelaf.

Much love to you mother until our spirits paths may cross once again.
