Aliasmos finally got her hands on the books she wanted and knew after everything that had happened over the last few weeks she had things she needed to add to her personal book of shadows, thankfully with everyone else training and working with Nicole it meant she was able to take over the dining table and add new pages to her personal grimoire, various demons she had encountered and the best ways to kill them, her list of powers, the powers of her friends, artefacts that she knew were stored in the vault underneath the sanctuary. With the help of Ninette's books she was able to add various potions, demons and their properties to the craft. Locations of sacred sites and a few scattered artefacts as well.

With her pencil case next to her she was drawing what she could and added simple notes around the drawings, even things she remembered from her previous lives were added in order to give her life some form of timeline. Notes on the seven sisters and their gifts, pictures of her friends and their powers were added as well.

The moment a page was complete she put her finger in the corner and everything would be arranged so it made sense, new pages would appear in the book so everything was in it's correct place.

''Hey mum is everyone still training today?'' asked Aliasmos

''Yeah, why?''

''Brilliant as I need to head down to the vault so I can have a catalogue of what we actually have stored down there in my book of shadows''

''Are you sure that's a wise idea?'' asked Cathie

''Mum my grimoire has an enchantment that it only allows those it's trusts to read the contents, plus when my time comes this book will be passed down to Nicole, she should know what's here''

''Alright then, but be careful down there alright and make sure the dangerous pieces are covered in warning labels on the pages, I would hate the idea of any of them being unleashed in the future''

''Mum the most dangerous pieces are sealed in an obsidian casket which has been filled with a highly corrosive acid that will flood the floor within seconds. Those things already have warning labels on them'' said Aliasmos

''Yes but we both know that if Nicole was given a big red button she would push it just to see what it would do'' replied Cathie

''Yeah your right, I'll make sure there are warnings on them in the book then''

''That's all I ask'' she replied

Aliasmos packed and took everything downstairs to the vault, where she put in her thumb print and walked inside the vault.

If she was honest on the inside it looked like a well organised version of Warehouse Thirteen, the ceiling was much lower but pieces were stored in a magically sealed glass, which she knew Forge had created and every now and again she would come across an obsidian casket. One by one she added each piece to her book of shadows and they were put their in their rightful page within history.

''Holy crap the mask of Anubis'' she muttered as she placed her hand on the glass

Aliasmos grabbed her charcoals and instantly sketched it then wrote down that the mask was able to force people to see their deaths, four hours later she managed to archive just the ancient Egypt collection. She had to admit it would have gone quicker but memories of her life as a priestess came flashing back so of course she added those as well.

''Als, get your butt up here for some food as I'm not dragging your starving backside up here'' called Cathie through the sound system

Aliasmos grabbed her things and headed back upstairs making a mental note she had only reached as far as the Ancient Egyptian items locked away.

''Hi guys what's for lunch'' she asked as she went upstairs and placed her things on a chair

''Bacon and sausage sandwiches'' smiled Cathie

''Sweet'' she replied as she grabbed the ketchup and a drink from the fridge

''Hey mum what have you been working on?'' asked Nicole as she picked up her mother's book of shadows

''None of your damn business now put that down and go wash up, you look like you've gone through basic training in the army'' Aliamsos said as she admired the filthy camouflage jumpsuit her daughter was wearing

''Yeah I kinda was actually Gramps and James want me to build up my endurance for when I go on a mission''

''Do I want to know?'' she asked

''Nope'' said James, Robin, Nate and Kai at the same time

''How much did she cheat?'' sighed Aliasmos as she looked at her daughter with a disapproving look

''She made the obstacle course levitate to make it easier on herself'' said Nate with scorch marks on his jacket

''Why does it look like she set you on fire?''

''Because your daughter decided it would be interesting to try out some of the hell fire grenades Forge asked us to test'' sighed Nate

''I said I was sorry'' she sighed

''What!'' shouted Aliasmos

''It was an accident'' Nicole muttered

''Nic, you could have killed Nate, you do know that Hellfire could have killed Nate, your damn lucky that your grandfather is a combat medic'' she shouted

''I know'' she sighed

''Get yourself washed up for lunch then you'll be joining me in the vault for an afternoon of cataloguing the artefacts in the vault, so you can realise just how dangerous magic can really be'' she barked

''Yes mum'' sighed Nicole

''Whoa'' said James

''Don't get me started with guys'' she hissed

''What the hell did we do?'' hissed James

''You let my ten year old help test dangerous weapons, what the hell was going through your minds?'' she shouted

''We knew we had to push her in her training, and we all agreed that if she could see just how dangerous our weapons are it might put her off joining us on ground missions'' said James

''Well guess what that wasn't your call to make'' barked Aliasmos as she stormed out of the living room with her things she brought up with her. ''Once Nic has finished her lunch tell her to meet me downstairs''

''What about lunch?'' shouted Cathie

''I'm too pissed off to eat right now'' said Aliasmos

Aliasmos went back to the vault and started to catalogue the Ancient Roman and Greek section, the Spear of Athena, The Hammer of Hephaestus, The Bolt of Zeus. Everything that was Greek and Roman in order to make sense of her past.

''Mum?'' called Nicole

''I'm in the Roman section'' she called back

It took a few moments but Nicole finally found her mother sat cross legged in front of a set of armour that closely resembled James' celestial set

''I hope you don't mind but I brought my book of shadows down with me, so I could better understand how dangerous magic can be'' said Nicole a little sheepish

''That's actually incredibly grown up of you'' said Aliasmos

''Where should I start?'' asked Nicole

''Let's get you to the Ancient Egyptian section as that's where the human history truly begins'' she said as she grabbed her book and stood up

''Is that where your journey started?'' asked Nicole

''Yeah actually it did, again Nic why are you so interested in my past?''

''I know my big brothers are a lot older than me and I would like to know where in human history they were actually born and what you all contributed to the world'' said Nicole

''All right then'' she smiled. ''How about this I know that there are things here that once belonged to the family but have been locked away for public safety, when we reach those pieces I will give you a Helena Family history lesson'' suggested Aliasmos

''That works for me'' she smiled, ''also what's going on with the black coffins in here?''

''Those are filled with the most dangerous artefacts you'll ever find, if you break into them then to get your hands on the pieces then you'll fill the whole room with acid and destory not only everything in this room, but you'll be dissolved as well''

''Alright, note to self, black coffins means death'' said Nicole clearly

''That's my girl, but I suggest you make a note of what they contain and if you like I'm happy to explain why their so dangerous''

''Deal'' said Nicole

''Alright then let's get started'' she smiled

The pair spend the rest of the day cataloguing everything that was in the vault, each piece was it's own history lesson and Nicole understood the dangers of magic far more than anyone else upstairs, plus she added plenty of things to her ring binder book of shadows.

''Wow girls looks like you accomplished a lot'' said Cathie as she begun to re heat what was left of dinner

''Mum showed me how dangerous magic can be and we added loads of things of pages to our books'' said Nicole as she opened her book to the Helena pages she had added

''Wow, so you actually taught her about the Helena line'' said Cathie as she looked over Nicole's shoulder

''Well she is a Helena and as a family some of us have a dark past, by her knowing the history of our family she knows what can happen if she loses control''

''I don't want to end up on mum's hit list'' said Nicole afraid of her mother

''Good girl'' smiled Aliasmos as she put her feet on the table

''Hey mum I was wondering if you could confirm something for me?'' asked Nicole with a pen in hand

''I'm not sure I like where this is going but ask away'' replied Aliasmos

''There are seven sisters correct?''

''Yeah, where are you going with this?''

Before Nicole could finish Forge and Cronos appeared from the armoury, while the others appeared from the holosuite

''Do the seven sister have any connection to the seven sins?'' asked Nicole

Sadly at the moment Aliasmos took a swig of her drink and spat it out, causing everyone to laugh

''Nic I'm not sure you want to know the answer to that question?'' said Forge as he sat next to his little sister

Aliasmos felt a burning sensation as she was in the middle of a coughing fit

''Mum there is a connection isn't there?'' asked Nicole almost fearful of what she asked

''Mum can you get Mooshka up here, I made a promise to Nicole when she was younger that there won't be any secrets between us''

''Sure thing and I'll get the whiskey out as well'' replied Cathie

Ten minutes later Mooshka flew into the room and couldn't help but sigh at the expressions on not only her sister's face but the faces of her two nephews as well

''What have I flown into?'' asked Mooshka

''Nic asked about the connection between the seven sisters and the seven sins'' replied James

''That explains the whiskey'' said Mooshka as she looked at how much had already been poured

''You should tell her'' said Cathie

''The Helena sisters are the seven sins'' said Aliasmos who then downed a shot of whiskey

''Do I want to know why my mum wants to get hammered?'' asked Nicole

''It's not a part of her that she proud of'' said Griff as he walked into the room

''Which sin is she?'' asked Nicole

In that moment Griff placed his hand on Aliasmos' shoulder and downed her shot of whiskey a gesture which wasn't missed by anyone included Sean as he walked into the common room

''What's going on?'' he asked

''Mum is one of the seven deadly sins'' said Nicole in shock

''No, that's not possible'' said Sean

''It's true'' said Aliasmos on the edge of crying

''Oh crap, which one?'' asked Sean

Before Aliasmos answered she took another shot, even her sons joined in as did Griff and James

''Oh that can't be good'' muttered Nate

''Als, no secrets remember'' said Sean as he knelt by his girlfriend

''I'm Envy'' she replied then buried her face

''Your mother always wanted to be normal and it never happened'' said Griff as he took a seat and poured another round

''Mooshka what about you?'' asked Nicole

''Pride'' she sighed

''I can't see you being the Sin of Pride if I'm honest'' said Nicole

Both Forge and Cronos burst out laughing

''What?'' asked Nicole

''Never ask her about her knowledge in the magical arts'' said Forge

''Yeah, trust me on this, plus despite mum and Rayne being the only two sisters to actually have kids, Mooshka has very specific ideas on how to raise children'' with that both boys shivered

''Hey, you both survived that'' barked Mooshka

''Wow'' muttered Nicole who wrote a few things down

''Before you ask Rayne is actually Wrath'' said Griff

''Yeah that bitch can be crazy'' said Aliasmos

''That's weird as I would have begged you to be wrath, no offense'' said Nicole

''Don't worry about it sweetie'' sighed Aliasmos

''I'm sorry I asked'' said Nicole

''It's fine Nic, to be honest I can see why you think I would be wrath, I've had to do a lot of things to protect my family over the years and I actually hate having the magic I possess as it causes a lot of pain'' she replied then grabbed the bottle and drank straight from it

Mooshka carried on explaining the Helena connections to Nicole leaving Aliasmos and Griff drinking, while they spoke to Sean about her dark history. Forge and Cronos joined in the conversation as well

''Does she know who I once was?'' dared Forge

''No, I didn't tell her as it's not my job to'' said Aliasmos

''Thanks'' sighed Forge

''Alright how bad can I be?'' asked Sean

Aliasmos, Griff and Cronos simply giggled

''I will cut you off if you carry on mocking the greatest inventor of human history'' teased Cathie

That comment from Cathie caused Aliasmos, Griff and Cronos to laugh harder as they knew Forge was highly embarressed by his past

''Thanks Gaia'' replied Forge clearly defeated in the whole past lives arguement

''Oh like you guys are proud of who you use to be'' hissed Forge

''Hell yeah I was once the queen of the Amazons'' said Aliasmos who then burped

''You were once what now'' said Sean

''and here I thought you two had no secrets'' teased Griff

''Oh please does your darling wife know who you use to be?'' hissed Aliasmos

''Yeah, he was once head of the Pharoh's army, he was a knight of the round table...'' From there Donna listed everything he once was

''Wait my half brother's dad was all that, what the hell mum'' shouted Nicole

''Crap'' sighed Aliasmos

''What were you guys?'' asked Nicole

''Crap'' said Aliasmos, Forge and Mooshka

''I'll get the other bottles'' said Cathie

The group stayed up all night educating Nicole on their lives throughout history, Aliasmos made slide remarks on the points her ex-husband screwed up. Nicole was shocked her mother and her big brother had such a huge part of history

''Cronos what about you?'' asked Nicole

Aliasmos put her drink down and started to remove every item of jewellery she was wearing and handing them to her boyfriend

''We need to slide our chairs backwards before we answer that'' said Forge as he slid it backwards

Everyone slid their chairs back but Griff gave his wife one last kiss then stood up away from where everyone was drinking

''Tell her why you weren't a part of history'' said Griff with his hands in his pockets

''Dad made a deal with our aunt for me to be her servant for the rest of my immortal life'' said Cronos

Before anyone could move Aliasmos flew in to a rage that made each of them cringe at the damage she was doing to the man in question

''How the hell my mother isn't wrath is beyond me'' cringed Nicole as her mother was standing on his head

The group kept talking while Aliasmos beat Griff within an inch of his life, after an hour Cathie simply placed the med kit on the kitchen side and joined everyone.

With each story that came out Nicole wrote down notes and finally Forge admitted defeat and told everyone who he use to be which was the trigger Aliasmos needed to snap out of her rage and she was too busy laughing and reaching for her drink rather than using her shoes to break each rib at least six times

''Mum how long have you wanted to pummel my father like that?'' asked Cronos as he pointed at what was left of his dad

''Pretty much since the day you and your twin sister were born'' she replied

''What actually happened that day?'' he asked

Aliasmos told the tale of what happened and why she gave up her kids for two hundred years and both her boys simply stood up and hugged her, then went over to her whimpered father and stomped on a knee cap each

''Feel better boys'' she teased

''Yeah'' they both laughed then hugged her once again

For once Donna didn't move an inch to help her husband and simply raised a glass at the damage the trio had caused

''I deserved that'' he cringed as he tried to stand

''No shit'' said Donna

''Preach'' smiled Sean

''So Nic how's your book of shadows coming?'' asked Aliasmos

She looked over and noticed her daughter had fallen asleep with her book of shadows filled to the brim with notes she had taken, Sean put his glass down and gathered her in his arms, Aliasmos put her hand on her daughter's book and muttered a few simple works and cast a spell to organise it for her and gave her the same ever expanding spell she had on her own. The she picked it up and followed Sean to her room where they tucked her in.

When they reached their own room, he opened the door, allowing Aliasmos to dump her things into a nearby chair, then sparked up a cigarette with a fresh fireball

''Hey can we talk?'' asked Sean

''I'm guessing you have a lot of questions about my past'' replied Aliasmos

''Yeah, I hate the fact that everyone knows about it but me and I have no idea where to start'' said Sean

Aliasmos stood up and grabbed her book of shadows then handed it to him

''I trust you more than I've ever trusted anyone, I won't even let my own daughter read this book, it contains everything about me from my time in the celestial realm to the present day. If you want to know everything then you should read this'' she said as she handed it to him

''Are you sure about this Love?''

''Yeah I am'' she smiled. ''Look I can't give you all ther answers you need without being extremely drunk first, but I hope this book helps. Now if you excuse me I need to find some ice and get some sleep, spending the day in the vault was tiring for me'' she sighed

''Did you at least get some of your memories back?'' he asked as he tucked some of her loose hair behind her ear

''How did you know about my memory lose?'' she asked

''Griff told me when he was helping to give Nicole some lessons in training, she just happened to ask about the wings and he made us swear not to say anything until you remembered'' he laughed

''Remind me to beat him up tomorrow'' she sighed as she rubbed her weary eyes

''Get some sleep love, I should get started on this'' he laughed as he waved her book

Sean settled in for the night to read his girlfriend's book with nothing but a simple lamp to use, every now and again Aliasmos would violently roll over in her sleep and mutter something but she always found some sense of peace once again, it helped that her dog and cat climbed into the bed with her to give her some form of comfort. Which simply caused Sean to smile as he carried on reading

By the time the sun started to shine in Atlantis Sean had fallen asleep with his partner's book open against his chest, Aliasmos grabbed her book then threw a blanket over him, then jumped in the shower.

''Morning'' she smiled as she wondered into the common room looking ready to take on the world

''Good Morning'' beamed Cathie as she dished up a few pancakes

''So what's the plan for today then?'' asked Forge

''I was planning on spending the day in the library adding things to my book of shadows, only because I need to give my body a break from all this fighting'' she smiled

Forge got up and ran to his desk to get a recording devise and placed it near his mother

''Can you say that again for me?'' asked Forge

''You heard me'' she hissed, then thanked her mother for a drink

''So where's your boyfriend mum?'' asked Cronos

''Still in bed and by the sounds of it so's your sister''

''I better make the most of the shooting range while I can'' suggested Kate as she downed her drink and grabbed her bow and arrows

''Wait I have some new arrow tips I want you to try out first'' suggested Forge

''How come she gets new toys and I don't?'' argued Aliasmos

''I actually finished casting a buck load of daggers with various materials and once I've shaped them to suit you I was going to let you play'' sighed Forge

''What about ammunition and grenades?'' asked Robin

''Well as long as mum can keep my baby sister in the library I have five different grenades for you guys and twelve different bullets for you guys to test for me'' said Forge

At which point everyone looked at their fearless leader with pleading eyes

''Yeah sure I'll keep her occupied for the day so you guys can play with your new toys'' she laughed

Everyone shouted with excitement at the thought of being able to test new weapons and tactics in peace.

''Morning'' yawned Nicole as she wondered into the common room

''Morning'' sighed everyone

''Hey Nic, do you want to keep building your book of shadows with me today?'' asked Aliasmos

''That would be awesome'' she beamed

''That's what I wanted to hear, not grab yourself some breakfast then we'll head down'' she smiled

The girls spent days working side by side to work on their personal grimoire's Nicole found she was introduced to forms of magic she had no idea were even possible and Aliasmos was slowly turning her book into something that was not only filled with magic but included all of the nerdy aspects of her life that she had to push to one side due to her work.
