Family ties

Anna's pov

I'm being stared at by six eyes, well one pair of eyes is looking at my shoulder. Pops and Marco are looking at me. I could feel Marco's anger at Martin when I told him about the battle, I could tell that pops was angry too but I know that he was being calm for Marco.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM." I knew Marco could yell, he did that most often when Thatch did one of his jokes, but this was different he was shouting because his brother had tried to kill me and my twin. I wanted to go and hug him, but firm hands held my shoulder. Rain had gripped my hand tighter and tighter when I told the story of what happened.

"There's something else." I said I shook as all three of them said as one.

"What is it."

"Well don't laugh, but I have Pegasus sealed inside me." I smiled all two of them went down. Marco and Pops to my surprise Rain looked at me then hugged me tighter than I could every believe.

"Your mother's name was Cestalia."

I looked at Rain he had tears in his eyes and I saw that both pops and Marco looked back and forth between me and Rain.

"How do you know my mother's name?"

"Because I was the one that gave it to her." I couldn't help myself I fainted.

Marco's Pov

Anna woke up when Thatch, Maria came Sara was suppose to stay in bed and Ace being the caring husband stayed with her. I looked at Rain he seemed to be looking at both Anna and Maria maybe looking for their mother in their looks or eyes.

"Maria you look so much like your mother." The first words Rain spoke.

"I get that a lot…"

"Even inherited her temperament."

"Rain, please will you tell us….about our mother before….." I could hear Anna struggling. I went and held her in my arms as Rain settled himself down and started to tell the story.

"I come from an island that was destroyed about 19 years ago. It was the home of mythical creatures and humans that carried their powers. We lived peacefully there and had the guardians watching over us. I was a healer with my partner Grafter. He and I had bonds with unicorns, and I see you laughing again Thatch I will hurt you." I heard a muffle squeak from the forth commander.

"Well anyway, my wife was a reader or knowledge keeper. Her bond was a Griffin that hated my cooking. Our only child was a daughter her name was Cestalia. We didn't know until her fifteenth birthday that she was to become a guardian. You see guardians are chosen, but they are usually related to the guardians."

"So Cestalia went and trained, she was a powerful sealer and had an owl as her partner. She fell in love with Grafter's Son a guardian also because of his mother. They were wedded in the summer, it was a fine wedding. Both Cestalia's owl and Grey's dragon were both happy about the arrangement. Then it was a few months later that we found out that Cestalia was with child."

"It was when they told us that Cestalia was pregnant when the first attack on a guardian came. We were worried about the unborn child and the mother. Grey asked the guardians for permission to protect his wife. They agreed, and to fast I should of know what they were thinking. It was when Cestalia was about to give birth when a rouge guardian attacked the others with his followers. Cestalia was busy with Gray giving birth, being the strongest of all the guardians in their fields." He took a breath and started again.

"Cestalia gave birth to twins, the eldest name Luna and the second Solaria. They were taken from their parents by the elders. If I knew what they were going to do I would have stop them myself, but both parents were worried about other things. They sealed Pegasus the guardian of knowledge and healing inside Luna and Flair the king of dragons and guard of the mystic flame inside Solaria."

I looked at Anna she looked back at me. "Luna?" I whispered.

"My mom did call me that sometimes but then she just said that Anna would be better." She replied.

"I agree."

"It was the final minutes of the island when the elders said a spell that sent everyone to different places, or in your mother and father's case another world. The jewels that you carry are made from the crystals that were plenty in our land it help us talk with our partners."

"So that's it?" Maria asked.

"Yes..your grandmother died a little after the destruction of our land. Grafter and his wife were sent somewhere I don't know. I meat white beard and became a doctor for division one. I thought all of your family was safe."

"It was until a few years back when both my parents died, and I think it was done with magic."

"What?" I asked with all of us in the room.

"My dad and mom were in love with the sea, and by what granddad told us it seems that they were powerful so a sneak attack on them would have killed them. It would explain the way I found them mom seemed wet and dad was not even wet."

"That could be right my dear, it would be the work of the rouge."

"Rain what was the Rouge's name?" I asked holding Anna tighter.

"You should know Marco after all your named after him."

I sweat drop he couldn't mean.

"Your father, Marcos Aldan was the rouge that killed the guardians and destroyed our land." Rain replied. I felt myself stiffen. My father had destroyed his island home and killed Anna's parents.

"Marco it's not your fault, you can't blame yourself for your father's deeds. You have out balance more than enough for it." I looked at my wife she was staring at me I couldn't help but smile.

"Now I want you to kiss me and tell me that you are ok." I did just that. Then I asked all who was in the room.

"Now who is going to tell Sara about this?" I saw every one shutter. I felt a tug on my hand and look at Anna.

"We will."
