HELLO!

What I am going to do with my stories (this message will be repeated in all of my ongoing stories) is try to post as much as I can this half-term, as my posting will slow down A LOT when the Easter holidays is finished. This is because I am taking my GCSE's this year.

Story of the post – Sky Bunny by sakurademonalchemist. It's a very good story which mainly integrates the KHR characters into the Yu-Gi-Oh world.

I DO NOT OWN THE MAGESTERIUM SERIES.

So, on with the story!

TALKING AND DISCOVERIES

"Chapter Six," Call read, before Tamara snatched the book away.

"Mope, you need to talk to your dad." She declared, putting the book behind her.

Knowing that when Tamara was in a mood, resistance was futile, Callum complied with her demand.

He and his dad walked into a corner, where Alistair used his mastery over air magic to set up a silencing ward of a kind.

"Call." Alistair drew in a deep breath. This was going to be awkward.

"Why did you never tell me about the words in the ice, Dad? Why are you so against me learning magic? Why did you lie about me surviving the Cold Massacre?"

"Call, I lied for one reason only – to protect you. How eould you honestly feel, knowing that your mother wanted you to die as a baby? Think about it for a moment."

Call did… and found himself wiping away a few tears. HIS OWN MOTHER wanted him to die, and that hurt. "Why, though? Why would Mom want me to die?"

"Because…" Alistair swallowed hard. "…because your mother knew that Constadine Madden's soul was within you."

Silence. A ringing sound in his ears.

"So…" Call joked. "I'm basically a Horcrux."

Alistair nodded. "I didn't want you learning magic in case it awoke and fed off of you. But now, I think that you may have just absorbed it."

"Huh? Why? Oh, yeah, because I'm really powerful." Call realized. "So, why lie about the Cold Massacre?"

Alistair sighed wearily, looking older than Call had ever seen him. "Because I didn't want word getting out. They would have realized what your mother's last words meant, and they would have attempted to kill you. It would have been even worse if word had gotten out to the remainder of the Enemy's forces – they would have kidnapped you and raised you as the Enemy."

Call swallowed nervously at the thought. "Right. Bad things. Let's just keep it quiet, hmm?"

Alistair took down the silencing ward with a nod.

"Who wants to read?" he asked.

-END OF CHAPTER-

Call is still kind of in shock here, and it hasn't fully sunk in yet. He'll have a freak out later, though.
