Disclaimer: I do not Yuuri! On Ice.
"Should we attack her?" Yurio asked trying to but his way through the crowd. Victor raised his arm to stop him from going forward.
"No let's let this play out." He whispered leading everyone to back away.
"My baby girl!" The women screamed noticing that she was surrounded by ashes. She looked over and saw the open book.
"Mom are you okay?" Casper approached her slowly.
"I told him to burn this." She said angrily before ripping the pages out of the book. Once they were out she burned them in a blue flame. "Where is your father?"
"I don't know Mom he ran off." Casper looked down seemingly ashamed.
"So he kills his old coven, something he knows he grab his attention, abandons his children, annd leads his daughter to preform a spell not even he dared try." She looked over and for the first time got a good look of her son. "Casper what happened to you?"
"It's a longer story Mom." Casper still couldn't believe she was actually alive again or that his sister was gone but he didn't time to process any of it. His mom walked over and examined his hair and skin. Mainly the roots and and sections of skin was that had change. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the Guardians.
"Did they do this to you?" She holding on to him and looked liked she was going to attack them.
"Mom it's okay they're with me." Casper explained stepping in front of his mom and lower her hand. He slowly backed away and grabbed Yuuri. "Mom this Yuuri he's been taking care of Eris and I after Dad left us."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Kingston." Yuuri gave a respectfull bow to her.
"Please call me Stella." She said she took his hand and held it gently. "I know I've been gone for a while but I'm glad someone in this world accepts my babies. Even if you couldn't stop her."
Yuuri looked at the ash pile that was Eris. "I'm sorry I didn't know she was going to do that. Come on back with us we'll explain everything."
"So my husband left our babies not once but twice." Stella said she sat down on a chair. She had remained silent the entire time Yuuri had explained the whole situation. How the kids were on their own after her death, how they spent a long time working for the Council, and how he ended up with them in his care. The entire time Stella looked regretful of something. "I should left him a long time ago. He would always disappeared on me even before we had kids. I was hoping he'd stop after Eris was born but nopee he just had to ignore my warnings. Now he's crossed the line. My daughter should be alive not me."
"I'm sorry this is a sore subject but what did she exactly?" Yuuri asked out of curiosity and hoping there could be a way to reverse it.
"Bram called it Soul Transfer he hoped it would trick others to reviving their love ones but at the cost o f their life. When I saw it I told him it was a bad idea. I was scared the kids would find it and if some how one of us die they would try to us back. I should have burned it on the spot but i trusted him enough that he would listen. And now Eris has payed the price for my mistake."
"Not that I support what she did." Casper said as Stella stroked his hair a little. "But you were the only one Eris wouldn't talk crap about."
"I understand your father but not you sweetie." Stella pulled him close and kissed his forehead.
"You're not about." Casper looked at his changes.
"Of course not honey I'm upset that you feel like you need to make up for what he did. You didn't do anything wrong."
"I actually like it. At first it was solely to make up for Dad but over time I grew to do it for the good feeling it gave me."
"So do you think you can help us track Bram down?" Yuuri asked her. "This wouldn't just be for Eris but for all Elite Darkness. Born or made we need the world of Guardians to know the truth. It will be justice for everyone."
"Okay I will." Stella said standing up. "I just hope it still works."
"What still works?"
"In my life I created one spell." Stella started to explain. "It may make me seem like an obsessive lover but it allowed me to find where he was at any time I preformed it. I only started it after Eris was born and I wanted to protect my family. I'm sure you know but my husband was a rather known for making impulsive and dangerous decisions."
"Well he did kidnap and try to turn me against my kind." Yuuri said awkwardly.
"The last part wasn't true." Casper said quietly.
"Honey you don't need defend him." Stella said hugging him again. She had refused to let him go ever since she got back.
"Are you sure this spell will find him?" Yuuri started to have his doubts.
"There's a chance it may not since it's been so long but I'd rather try and fail then not try and wonder if it would have work." Stella explained as she stood up.
"Are you going to summon him?" Yuuri asked as she walked over.
"No I'm going to find his location but I warn you it will take some time." Stella started to quietly hummed to herself as straightened herself up a little. Casper went over to Yuuri clearly afraid of a repeat of what happened last time. "Dic mihi, quo alter dimidium cor meum."
At that moment a red light surrounded Stella. It started from her heart and spread across the room. It looked like a red string. Quickly the light spread, phasing through all that it passed. Soon one light started to glow gold and the others faded away rather quickly.
"I found him." Stella said once all the light disappeared. She smiled widely as it had worked just the way she wanted. "He's in the Great Redwood forest."
