Yey!! 10 reviews, & just as I promised hears more story. But as id promised earlier, its got history & explains things….i had part of this as last chapter, but it was too long. I know I have a short attention span, so I figured I'd break this up a tad. Do you like domino? I kno a lotta stories have Caleb with a younger sis, but I think it'd be cool for Reid to have some family.
Ps- im sorry for the typo last chapter. There is no gwyn…yet. Maya is supposed 2 say gwyns line. My bad. Lol.

Don't worry about memorizing or anything. Just little things I had fun looking up, but the meanings were changed a tad just to make it more relevant to my story. Heres some back ground for ya. Gives me time to plot whats goin down at Nickys. Enjoy!!
Once upon a time, in a land not so far away….
It was told by the ancient Romans that birds were the gods most prized creations. The intelligence, loyalty and comprehension was rewarded by allowing them to fly to stars. In this way, the birds could tell the gods of the going-ons of those so far below.
Since the mere bird wasn't enough, the gods gave five great hawks the gift of shape shifting and power beyond belief. These hawks could shift to humans, but also shift between human and bird. They were named angels.
But the angels were hunted, in order to gain substantial proof of such creatures being real. After all, there were 'none who were more favored by the gods than man.' And the angels were quickly transformed into demons, and damned souls, angels of death….witches.
The gods were left baffled as their spies flew home, and took their angels wings, but the five families couldn't use their powers to constantly shield them or else drain themselves of life. It was a way to keep the powers and the falcons under control. Too much power, they could rival the gods themselves.
The goddess Athena, looked down upon the carelessness of men. Through love and compassion, she raised four children from the wombs of four simple women.
One from the isolated islands, deep in the ocean. She was a child of listening, of hearing what others could not. She would feel the emotions of others and herself with intensity similar to the intensity of the oceans waters that would forever test her. She would bear the secrets of all others (telepathy). She needed her sisters to help express all the emotions, to explain all the loose ends.
The next child from high mountains. She would see the sun rise and set, watch the winds play with the clouds. She was a child of impulse. She would look to address both perspectives in a situation. She would be needed to help settle disputes, to allow both sides to stress a point, but she'd also need the other 3 to encourage her to make the final choices.. She would be gifted with speech ( creating spells).
A third child raised deep in the forest. She is closest to earth. To feel desire and learn survival of animals. Instincts ran raw with her, causing her to rely on sisters for guidance. She was gifted with touch ( healing).
The last daughter was that of fire. She was raised in the city, the ghetto. She'd learn to knock down obstacles in her path in determination to reach her goal (physic). The sisters helped her to consider the foremost situation, the present not the future. She felt loyalty and devotion more than anything else.
'I give these four to you, my lord' and four falcons were released. One a blue-grey. The next a white-grey. Another red and white. The last black and brown.
'They shall watch yours and keep them shielded. They will not be over come by greed, nor worn by duty. But in return, give me your five. I shall bestow them with sound, light, time, dark and void.'
So the deal was made and nine families were destined to walk paths unknown by the gods themselves.
But other forces were at work, and the alliances that had faded between the hawks and falcons would either have to become reunited or face a certain defeat.
The only clue was hidden in a book of shadows…shadows that remained untouched and unmoved even by the light of the sun.
i know it's a short chapter, but its got a lot of info. Im nervous, cause I wasn't sure about my exact plot line, but this fills in a lot!! So, do I smell love in the air for next chapter??? Hehehe…maby. Don't be disappointed. Itll come. Review if you wanna know.
