chapter 20 - The Archon seer.
On the way home, I looked up at the sun low in the sky. I had been bad several hours already. It felt so strange...
"So, Vincent. What did you see in my absence?" I asked
"The same, mother, but it has become more violent. I fear that soon I will be driven mad if they continue." Vincent said "That is not all, the day you left, those royals seemed angered and disappointed. They were too eager for your return for them to be any good." He stopped and looked straight at me "They are planning something mother, dark magic is at work and Albion is in grave danger."
"Don't worry Vincent, Skyla said the knowledge I gained at the guild will aid me in thsee troubled times." I said "But...that is not all, is it Vincent?"
"No...Litia and Lilah..." He muttered
"Tell me once we get in and not dressed so formally. " I said as we reached the manor. We both went to our rooms, changed and met in the library. "So, what about Litia and Lilah?"
"They came to me, in just the other night with a warning." Vincent answered "Albion's slowly falling into chaos... they say the are waiting in Homestead."
"Homestead..." I muttered
"You know where it is?" he asked
"Indeed...we must tell Rosa and Reaver if it involves Lilah and Litia, they need to know." I told him, Vincent nodded.
We sat in the dining hall, eating dinner as Reaver and Rosa came in.
"Mother!" Rosa ran over and hugged me.
"Rosalind." I smiled "So, what happened we left?"
"Well, Azura insulted you, Father lost it and..." Rosa sat down and a maid set her dinner down before her. "Well, you can guess how that ended." She dug in hungrily. Reaver sat down next to me with a sigh.
"Reaver...there has been a question that has been in my mind a lot sinc a certain trip in the past." I said, his dinner was placed before him too.
"Huh?" He looked at me "What question may that be?"
"Well...Who are your ...real parents?" I asked, Rosa and Vincent looked up.
"I guess you know about that.." His eyes softened and he smiled. "Kelley. She had a daughter too, but I had no idea what happened to her."
"What was her name?" I frowned lightly
"I don't know, but I heard she had something to do with the heroes guild..." Reaver muttered
"I knew she looked familiar!" I smiled
"Wait! What?" Reaver looked confused
"If I am right in thinking, I believe I know your sister. Her name is Kaida. The heroes took her from the guild because she is the daughter of an evil powered maniac." I said "She looks a lot like you."
"Wow, so do you know where she was buried? We have to visit her." Rosa said.
"Kaida's not dead, like me she is immortal. She promised to find me one day." I chuckled "You'll get to met her then."
"Anyway, what did you and Vincent do when you left?" Reaver asked and began to eat.
"Huh..." Vincent looked down
"Vincent, I think it will be best coming from you." I told him, Vincent nodded.
"I see things..." He said
"We all do, stupid." Rosa smirked
"Not that way, as in future events." Vincent glared at his sister
"Is it even possible?" Reaver asked
"Well, Theresa is my forebare's sister, and she is a seer, Vincent seems to have inherited that trait." I nodded
"Well, mother has every right to be unsure of those royals, I saw the most horried thing that is yet to come to pass...But the other night, Lilah and Litia came to me." Vincent said
"Lilah and Litia are our older dead twin siblings...Right?" Rosa asked
"Yes." I nodded
"Well, they say they wait at Homestead." Vincent finished
"Homestead?" Reaver looked thoughtful. "Is that the charming place behind the Demon doo..." Reaver stopped, Vincent gripped his head and whimpered. "Vince?"
"Vincent?" I asked, worried.
"They are coming." He muttered "They are running away, here...they...urgh..."
"Litia and Lilah..?" I said softly. He nodded, I had to talk to Theresa.
That night, Vincent and Rosa were fast asleep. I stood outside in a nightgown, I kept my eyes open for Liliah Litia...
"Hawk..?" Reaver came up behind me, his arms embraced me.
"Reaver!" I looked up at him, his sea green eyes twinkled as he looked down at me. "It is so strange."
"How so?" He asked
"Only this morning I was saying good bye. And now we stand amongst its ruins." I said
"It must be a strange feeling." Reaver muttered
"But, it is great to be with you!" I smiled "I missed you so much."
"And I, you." Reaver kissed my neck, I giggled.
"Reaver, not out here!" I told him
"Why not?" His voice was low and husky. I blushed, my heart warmed not the less. I saw something move. I stepped forward.
"Who's there?" I asked
"...mother..?" From a bush, two 4 year old girls stumbled out looking hopeful.I went over and touched their cheeks, they were there. Freezing, but breathing and alive.
"Litia...Lilah...Reaver we need to get them in!" I said, picking up Lilah. Reaver picked up Litia, his skilled eyes scanned there with a scowl. He followed Hawk inside, closing the door. Someone watched from the far side of Millfields with a grin.
