Thank you all for the comments. Hope you all had a nice holiday weekend. I hope this chapter isn't too confusing. Some Elders are involved and they have do a little explaining. I think after this there will only be one maybe two more chapters.

Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed.


Enson stood in the brisk breeze of the Andes Mountains. Snow surrounded him on all sides of the mountain. He had lost his initial three demons when he tried for the grimoire. Leo had set up booby traps to thwart any demons that might have found it's location. He had gone through three other demons before finally unearthing the old book. It was wrapped in a brown burlap sack. He smiled and thought for a moment.

The Grimoire was the most powerful book of black magic and it was now in his hands. He could do so much with one little book, yet he was going to just turn it over to Be'lakor so he could become the next true Source of All Evil. He was tempted to just take the book and run, but that was when someone surprised him from behind.

"I see you have my Grimoire." Be'lakor said.

It was too late to run now. Be'lakor was stronger than he was. He had more powers at hand. He turned around and held out the sack with the book. "Yes, I was just about to bring it to you." Enson replied.

"Good, we can do the ceremony under the next full moon." Be'lakor said with excitement.

Chris awoke in the late afternoon after vanquishing his first demon. His eyes tried to focus and he bolted upright immediately when they made out a figure sitting on his desk chair. His hand went for the lamp on the nightstand and he readied to defend himself. "Bianca?" He questioned.

"Chris." She said softly.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked.

"I need to talk to you." She replied sincerely.

Chris scrambled out of bed in only a t-shirt and his boxer shorts. "You need to leave." He said sternly.

Bianca stood, her brown eyes starring into him. "I need you to know that I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Chris asked. "You left me for dead with some demon."

"In all fairness, you did the same thing." Bianca shot back. "I tried to save you. I got your brother and that other witch and helped them save you. That's not something I ever do. I'm a killer and I do whatever other demons pay me to do and I do it without question, but there was just something about you and as soon as I left you, I knew I had to go back for you."

"Are you trying to justify yourself?" Chris wondered.

"No, I..." She was cut off.

"If you don't leave right now, I will find a way to vanquish you." Chris said, putting his hands out in frustration. Bianca shimmered out just as blue bolts sparked from his fingers. They lasted only a moment, long enough for him to fry the radio on his desk. His eyes grew wide in fear as he starred down at his hands.

Chris ran out of his room, bolting for main floor of the manor. "Mom, Dad." He yelled.

Piper and Leo were in the kitchen and came running out when they heard Chris. "What is it?" Piper asked in a panic. She was surprised to see her son in his boxers.

Chris was holding his hands out in front of him kind of awkwardly, almost as if he were afraid of them. "I...I just...well..." He trailed off, not really sure how to explain what happened.

"Well what?" Leo asked.

Wyatt walked down the stairs behind Chris. He had at least taken the time to put some pants on. "What's the yelling about?" He asked.

"I just shot lightening out of my hands, I think." Chris said, feeling unsure of his explanation. He wasn't sure what to call the bolts that had fried his radio.

"You got another power?" Wyatt asked curiously.

"I guess." Chris replied.

"Well the only power I know of like that is electrokinesis." Leo said.

"But that's an Elder power right? How did Chris get that?" Piper asked.

Chris and Wyatt starred at their parents blankly, not knowing what in the world they were talking about. "Electro what? Elders?" Chris asked back.

"Electrokinesis." Leo replied. "Some very powerful demons have it and Elders also have the same power. A whitelighter is sort of like a guardian angel for witches. They help guide witches in a sense and an Elder is something they can be promoted to eventually. Elders are sort of like bosses to the whitelighters and they watch over the mortal world from the heavens."

Chris thought back to his dreams and his time in the past. "You were an Elder when I was conceived weren't you?" He asked his father.

"Yes I was, but I'm not sure it is something that would have passed on to you when you were born." Leo answered.

"Yes, but some of your Elder powers could have passed on to him right?" Piper asked.

"I'm honestly not sure." He said.

"Maybe we can explain." A voice said from behind them. Leo turned, his eyes meeting Sandra's. There was another with her, an Elder Leo did not recognize. Everyone's gaze followed Leo's.

"Who are you?" Wyatt asked.

Sandra answered. "Your parents know me already. I am Sandra, an Elder." She turned to the man next to her who looked much older with long gray hair and a beard. "This is Aron, another Elder."

"I have foreseen many things." Aron said. "Years ago after your parents were first married, I foresaw the birth of their first child, the one the prophecy foretold of. I kept this vision to myself, for I feared some would not allow a child of such power to be born into this world. After he was born, I foresaw the birth of another child, one that would someday be our savior."

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"As I saw his birth, I saw two futures, one of darkness and one of light. I foresaw that someone or something would corrupt the first born child, but I could not see what. What I did know was that the boy could either be a force for darkness or one for the greater good. I could see through my visions that both brothers were born with a bond between them, one that unites their magic and makes them stronger together, much like the one between the power of three. I knew that if one brother were to be corrupted, the bond would always be there between them and that one brother could use that to save the other. It is because of that bond, neither brother could kill the other in the dark future that I foresaw."

Chris thought about his dreams and the old future as he stood, embarrassed to be in his boxers still. Wyatt was evil, he was a menace to the city, the world. Wyatt had threatened to kill him countless times, but had never actually followed through on those threats. He had been bruised and beaten by Wyatt, but something always kept his brother from killing him. Despite all that Wyatt had done to him, he could never bring himself to kill Wyatt either. He wasn't even sure he was strong enough to do so, but always had this notion that Wyatt could be saved. That's why he went to the past, so he could figure out where things went wrong and save the future from the menace that was his own brother, his own flesh and blood.

Aron continued. "That is how I knew the second born would be our savior. He would travel in time to save his brother, his family, and the future of the world. He averted the dark future, but then something happened that was unpredicted."

"What was that?" Chris asked.

"I was not able to predict or foresee the outcome of the battle with Zankou. I had no idea your mother and aunts would be forced into faking their own deaths so they could protect magic. In doing so, they kept both of you from your destiny and put the good future I had also foreseen in jeopardy. I knew there would be a great foe in this good future and blessed the younger brother with some of his father's Elder powers to help him in fighting that foe and keeping the future from becoming dark. Luckily, you've discovered your destiny just in time, before the future could be changed again." Aron explained.

"Even though one can be born as part whitelighter, they can not be born as part Elder. Becoming an Elder is something a whitelighter must earn." Sandra added in. "Certain powers are earned with that status as well. Because we knew of this possible threat or foe in this good future and also because of the good Christopher had done in averting the dark future, we allowed some of your Elder powers to transfer into him when he was conceived. We also played a part in the boys finally discovering their destiny."

"Is this making anyone else confused?" Wyatt asked as he scrunched his face trying to make sense of it all and then thought to himself. "This all sounds crazy."

"I agree." Chris thought back. "But it did feel good using our powers to help someone."

Wyatt quickly turned to Chris. "How did...I mean...I think you're in my head again." He finally managed to spit out.

"Ok this is going to drive me crazy. I can barely deal with my own thoughts, let alone yours." Chris replied.

"Wait, what do you mean he's in your head again?" Piper asked Wyatt curiously.

"Remember when we were in the forest and I thought Chris had spoken out loud? I even replied to him, but he claimed he didn't speak." Wyatt explained.

Piper nodded her head. "I think I remember." She said.

"That must be the bond shared between you. With this bond you will be able to sense one another and know when the other is in need. We were not sure if your bond would be telepathic or not, but it seems it just may be." Sandra explained. "Eventually, you can learn to control it and keep the other from your thoughts when you want. You boys will have a lot to learn."

"And how are we supposed to learn all of this?" Chris asked.

"Practice of course." Was Sandra's answer.

"But I have classes and homework to deal with?" Chris replied. "I have a job and..."

Piper cut him off. "Your Aunts and I somehow managed it all, I'm sure you will find some kind of balance to make it all work." She said.

"It will always be a challenge" Aron added in. "It will frustrate you at times, but think of all the good you can do with your magic."

Chris averted his gaze and stared down at the floor. He thought about how good it felt to vanquish that demon and help those that had come to them the night before. Maybe he could find a balance and make it all work.

"We must get back to the Heavens." Sandra said. "You boys are more than welcome to visit magic school, maybe take a few courses if need be."

"Magic school is still open?" Piper asked curiously. Before they had faked their deaths and each moved on with their lives, Paige had been running the school. Paige had actually fought to keep it open after Gideon had betrayed them all and lost his life.

"Yes. It was hard to replace Paige, but we found someone for the task." Sandra replied.

"What is magic school?" Wyatt asked.

"It's a place for witches to learn and practice their craft. We have some courses, where you can learn about specific powers, potion labs, classes on spell writing, and we have a vast library filled with all kinds of great reading material about the craft and other things as well." Sandra explained.

Late the next morning, Victor returned to the manor after his weekend getaway with Karen. He was shocked to walk in on Piper and Leo sitting in the parlor. He saw them on various holidays, but those were usually out in Boston at their place, not at the manor. "Piper, Leo..." He trailed off.

Piper jumped up with a smile, ready to greet her father. "Hey, Dad." She hugged him.

"Hi. What are you two doing out here?" Victor asked curiously as he pulled away.

"We're here for the boys." Leo answered.

Wyatt and Chris walked out from the kitchen. "You did that on purpose." Wyatt said to Chris. He had a towel in hand and was wiping water from his face.

"I was trying to move the plate. How was I supposed to know the water you spilled was going to go flying instead?" Chris replied. He and Wyatt were washing dishes after breakfast. Wyatt had spilled a bit of water on the table and was in the process of cleaning it up when Chris decided to try out his powers and move a plate from the table over to himself at the sink. Instead, the water from the table moved and splatted against Wyatt's face.

"Boys?" Piper questioned.

Wyatt and Chris both looked up, spotting their grandfather. "Hey." They both said.

"What was going on in the kitchen?" Victor asked.

"Oh, just a little water fight." Wyatt answered.

"I told you, I was trying to move the plate." Chris hot back.

"You were practicing your powers weren't you?" Piper asked.

"Wait, what?" Victor asked back in shock. "Powers?"

"You missed a lot while you were gone." Wyatt replied. So, everyone sat with Victor and tried to explain to him exactly what had happened since he had left with Karen for the weekend. The boys explained about the storm and how they had found the book of shadows. Then, Piper and Leo explained about rushing out to San Francisco when they found out the boys had discovered magic. They each told him about Bianca taking Chris to the Underworld and then about fighting and vanquishing their first demon.

It was a lot to take in for Victor. He was in total shock that his grandsons had powers now, but he understood that had his daughters not faked their deaths, the boys would have had powers all along and would have been fighting demons long before now. It was no secret that he wasn't fond of magic, but he knew this was all something he would just have to accept. He knew Wyatt and Chris would be able to handle their powers. They had both grown into responsible men and he knew they would use their powers wisely and for the right purposes.

Even though Piper had a business to run, she was able to stay in San Francisco a while to help her boys with their powers. Leo had flown back to Boston right away because he was needed at work. Victor was glad to have his daughter and eventually the power of three back in the manor, even if it was only temporary.

Phoebe and Paige payed a visit to the manor and united with Piper in their old home. They were there to help Piper teach the boys a few things about magic, to guide them and give them tips. For the first time in a while, they had used their Charmed powers to fight for the greater good once more, helping Wyatt and Chris vanquish a few demons in hopes of getting to the new Source. They had no luck in finding him though.


I was really anxious to post this, so I was a little quick with the proof reading. Hope there isn't a lot of errors...lol. Anyways, I don't really think one can be born as part Elder, because it seemed on the show, one had to be specifically chosen (like the kid from Witches in Tights) or promoted to one (like Leo). Hopefully, the Elders explanation of things wasn't too confusing. I was a little worried about that. Let me know your thoughts...thanks!
