"Raya slow down." Lilandra yelled to her cousin who was a couple of
yards ahead of her. "You're going to fast. I can't keep up."
"Come on Lily." Raya said as she came to a halt. " I can't always slow down for you."
"Well if I could fly maybe I wouldn't need you to slow down for me." Lilandra said as she caught up to Raya. Lilandra then put both hands on top of her head and tried to catch her breath.
"Yeah, I guess being Eyrien definately has it's advantages." Raya said as she tossed her dark hair over shoulder and looked her cousin in the eye and smiled.
"Who cares if your Eyrien." Lilandra said as she smiled at her cousin. "I wear the darker Jewel and could kick you butt all over the realm if I wanted to."
"Maybe with your Jewels you can, but without them I'd break you in half." Raya said as they got into the argument that had taken place hundred of times before.
"Well, you have your brothers and your father to practice with." Lilandra said as she began to pout. "All I have is my parents, my little sister and my baby brother. Tamia doesn't ever want to practice and Saetan is to young to start practicing."
"Maybe." Raya said. "But I'm sure your parents could practice with you. From what I've heard your mother has put my dad on the ground on more than one occasion and they didn't call your father the Sadist for nothing."
"Yeah, but that's different." Lilandra said thinking about her father. "My father didn't earn the name the Sadist from fighting. Your father could put my dad down if it came down to a straight fist fight and my mother is to busy to help me practice."
"There you guys are." Both girls turned and smiled when they saw Daemonar coming towards them.
"Look who's here." Raya said looking at her oldest brother.
Daemonar's dark black hair shone as it reflected the sun. His well muscled body showed through his tailored pants. The fact that he wore no shirt and his body glistened, because of the thin coat of sweat he had built up while looking for them, would have made any girl faint. All Raya and Lilandra did was laugh.
"I'm surprised at you Daemonar." Lilandra said when her laughing stopped. "No shirt. Who were you planning on running into? Moira?"
This sent Raya into a fit of hysterics. It was common knowledge that Daemonar had a crush on Moira, Karla's oldest daughter. The only person who didn't seem to notice was Moira.
Daemonar's gold eyes held the laughter that he was trying to contain as he turned to Lilandra. "No Silly Lily." Daemonar said using a nickname that he knew she hated and was rewarded with a kick to the shin. Sitting on the ground rubbing his knee Daemonar said: "I just wasn't given the time to change after practice, which by the way you both missed. Uncle Daemon sent me to find you two. It sounds important."
"Dad gave us permission to skip practice because we had to do some shopping for Aunt Jaenelle." Raya said looking her brother in the eye.
"Well," Lilandra said as she looked in the direction of her home, "Even if I ran all the way it would take me forty-five minutes to get there."
"Hang on." Daemonar said as he scooped Lilandra up and took off flying.
"Damn you Daemonar." Lilandra said as she hit him on the head
"Be careful." Daemonar said as he pretended to drop her. "I might drop you and we don't want that do we?"
Raya laughed as Lilandra squeeked. "I wonder what they want?" She said out loud when her cousin and brother stopped fighting.
"I don't know." Lilandra said as she racked her brain for the things that she and Raya had done over the last few days. " We haven't done anything wrong for awhile."
"Well there's SaDiablo Hall." Daemonar said as the building peeked over the trees in the distance. "We'll know soon enough."
"Here they come." Lucivar Yaslana said as he saw his two children and his niece flying toward them on the horizon. "How many times have I told Daemonar not to fly so high when he's carrying Lily?"
"If I remember correctly Lucivar," Jaenelle said as she sat in a chair, " You weren't ver good at doing what you were told either."
"But that was different Cat. I never flew so high with you and endangerd your life like that." Lucivar said as he turned to Jaenelle.
"Daemonar has never dropped her Prick." Daemon said to his brother. "Jaenelle and I both trust that he would never drop Lily. Give him a break."
"Those three kids of yours remind me a lot of you three when you younger." Saetan said from the couch across from Jaenelle.
"May the Darkness be merciful if those three end up anywhere near as bad as Daemon and myself." Lucivar said turning to his father.
"I don't think that they will ever be that bad." Saetan said hoping against hope that his grandchildren never experinced what their parents had. "I'm talking about since the three of you got together. No one is safe."
"They don't call them the Triple Threat for nothing." Daemon said as he rose from his chair and stood behind his wife placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Did someone call?" Lilandra asked innocently as Raya, Daemonar and herself entered the room through the room. When Raya and Daemonar landed, Daemonar put Lilandra down gently.
The adults all looked at the three young people. Lucivar looked at his children and niece with pride in his eyes. They were definately strong and together could do anthing they wanted.
Raya was his third child. She grew up with three brothers and because of it had become somewhat of a tomboy. Her shoulder length black hair was pulled back into a ponytail so it wouldn't get in her face. She wore a tight black shirt above which she wore a dark blue button up shirt of Lucivars that she left open but tyed at the bottom. Her black slacks and boots finished the outfit. The only accessory she wore was her Sapphire jewel that was nestled just above her black shirt on a gold chain.
Daemonar was his pride and joy. He was by far the best fighter in the family and had been able to knock Lucivar down once or twice. Daemonar looked almost identical to his father. His black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Though it went against Eyrien tradition, Daemonar like how it looked. When he had entered the hall Daemonar had picked up his blue shirt that he had left in his aunt's care before starting practice. He left the first three buttons opened and had buttoned the rest and tucked it into his black pants. From his gold chain Daemonar's Sapphire jewel reflected the light in the room.
Then there was Lilandra. She had her fathers black hair that she wore loose and kept trimmed to just above her waist. She had her mother's sky- blue eyes that were complemented by the light blue top that stopped inches above her belly button and was cut low enough that Lucivar heard Daemon give a low growl of disapproval. Her tight black jeans were tight til they reached mid-calf where they flared out slightly and partially covered her black boots. Hanging from a silver chain around her neck she wore her Red jewel. Lilandra was the strongest of all the children from the first circle and was expected to become the next queen of Ebon Askavi.
"You wanted to talk to us." Lilandra said ignoreing her fathers low growl of disapproval. He never approves of anything I wear. Lilandra said to Raya spear to spear.
Fathers rarely do.Raya rplied.
"About a week ago your father and I intercepted a message coming through one of the gates addressed to you both from an unknown messanger." Jaenelle said as she looked at both girls. She then remembered the messenger and how surprised she was by the unexpected visit. "They were letters inviting you two to attend a school outside of Kaeleer. We sent Khary and Aaron to check the place and it all appears to be legitamate. Here are the letters." Jaenelle said handing the girls two envelopes.
Both girls read the letters and when they finished they both looked up at Jaenelle.
"What realm is this Hogwart's School located?" Raya asked. "Is it in Terreille?"
"It's actually in a realm that we had never heard of before." Saetan said looking at his two graddaughters. "Khary and Aaron talked to a Professor Dumbledore and a Professor McGonigall. They both assured Khary and Aaron that the school was a real school and that it teaches young witches and wizards how to use their power."
"What are wizards?" Lilandra asked looking from her mother to her grandfather.
"They are apparently what we call our blood males although from what we were told witches and wizards control their power through something called a wand and they don't wear jewels." Daemon said looking his daughter in her eyes.
"You want to send them into an unknown realm." Daemonar said when the shock had worn off. "Are you crazy? Anything could happen to them there."
"Like we've said." Lucivar told his son, "Both Khary and Aaron went and checked the place out. They both feel that it would be a opportunity for the girl to learn new forms of controlling their powers."
"But you want to send them into unknown territory where anything could attack them." Daemonar said standing up to his father. Not only did they want to send his favorite cousin into a possible problem area, they wanted to send his baby sister. He couldn't believe his ears.
"They won't be going alone." Lucivar looking his son in the eye, both proud of his son for being brave and standing up to others to protect his sister and cousin but at the same time he was getting aggitated by his son. "Chaosti, Khary, Aaron and Daemon will all be going with them. They aren't going to leave the girls until they feel absolutely certain that they will be safe."
What do you think. Lilandra asked Raya while her uncle and cousin fought.
I'd think we'd be foolish to turn down an opportunity like this. Raya replied Besides we'd get out of practices with father.
You're right Lilandra said smiling Any place that doesn't have self- defense with your father has got to be a good thing.
"We've decided to go." Lilandra said over the heated argument that her uncle and cousin were having. "I mean if Khary and Aaron feel that it will be safe for us and that it will be a good experience how can we turn it down?"
"All right." Jaenelle said looking over at her nephew who was in a stunned silence and at Lucivar who had a smug look on his face. "You two leave tomorrow, so you should go and pack."
As the two girls left the room Jaenelle looked at Daemonar who was still speechless: "They'll be fine Daemonar. They are both strong young women and they will be well protected."
"How can you be sure?" Daemonar asked his aunt.
"Believe me." Jaenelle said standing up and heading for the door. Before she left she turned to Daemonar. " I would never send them to some unknown territory without protection." She then left leaving all four men confused as to what she meant.
