As Finn drops off Jake at Enforcers I light up another smoke. Finn walks out the front a few press members asking him for a statement on his recent fight. And what's happened with Connor and Brook. Finn glares at the reports clearly still not to happy still about the turmoil happening to his kids. Finn grabs a camera and brings it closer to his face. Finn "To Neo Deadmau and all his allies... you have just made the most costly choice of your lives. You dared to harm my family and loved ones in your sick game. If you came to me alone it would be a different matter. But now I will make sure that all of you are either in the darkest cell... Or six feet under the ground." Finn lets go of the camera and makes his way over to me. I put out the smoke and lift myself off the wall.
"I would say you've got their attention now. But for the most part things aren't showing up as we hoped. Fuckers used a thief named Le Frog. I have the Merc's hot on his slimy little tail. More over Meryl and Milly want me to find Fox fast. Milly was in tears over the phone when I told her where I found his phone." Finn groans to look over his shoulder. Finn "We'll find them and remember the last time we dealt with wanabee warlords. This time will be no different." I exhale as I light and puff a little smoke as we kept walking. "Yeah so lets check up on those leads." Finn "No you go it'll be less stress on you if you go without me. Also our enemies will be more focused on me seeing as I made a public statement like that. Plus from the info I just of from Prismo the other Sons of Death are awake. And the more I get angry the more Hawk and I fuse to release all the anger that makes him who he is. And Neo Deadmau is counting on my anger so that his plan can move forward."
I grunt the smoke still in my lips on hearing the whole story. "All that talk about you being an anomaly was bullshit then. All he cares about is causing problems like the rest of his dead friends. I also have a lead on that old friend of your wife. He's been getting fewer jobs with how the world has changed. So do you want me to find him first? Or do you want me hang out with you some for the rest of the day?" Finn "Like I said I have to keep my calm until this is over with. It'd be best if we keep them guessing to our plans. Also I've got to make a few stops before I meet with the global leaders." "So OOO still looks to you after all these years?" Finn pulls out his phone and shows me a video of his fight with the Shifter. Finn "Actually I'm trending for my fight and now my announcement to our enemies. No doubt it'll trigger them to do something. So I better be ready." I nod and Finn teleports me to Motor city, "Well lets follow up on that led."
Jacob's View
After Momma Isa stopped by to make sure I was ok. And a quick talk she left me but told a few Grass kin to keep watch. I still live in Momma M's old house. I had a friend of uncle Jake help me remodel and fix up the place. Smiling I walking down into my basement. Walking to the old grandfather clock half covered by a tarp I turn the clock faces hands. It a swift move the clock slides up allowing me to walk past it and down into a hidden passage way. Down under the pond in front of my house. I stop at the over looking level of the hidden lair to my dad's apprentices. Seeing the two watching the large flat screen TV in the lounge air I use a bit of my flames. Pushing and holding myself in the air for a little while to then lowers myself to them. Seeing them both unmasked would shock a lot of people at how young they are. Both are nothing more then in their mid twenties now.
Gallant and Arch better know as Steve and Nisi. They seem to have forgotten their last names. Nisi "A whole two months since our teacher has been back. And when we finally plan to contact him some dickhead attack his family. Makes my blood boil just thinking about it. How's your brother prince Jacob?" "I keep asking you two to not put prince or princess in front of my family members names. But at this point I think it'll be useless. I'm sure my dad will contact you two soon. From how pissed my dad was I'm sure this Shifter guy's not going to end up in a prison cell." Steve "What's got me most concern is what the world leaders will do?" Voice, "We're still talking about when we'll meet before we start any major talks." I turn to see my dad in causal clothes sipping from a glass. From the look of the glass it's no doubt alcohol. "Dad you knew they we're here?"
Dad "Oh cut your old man some slack son. After your mom showed me how to track a person's body heat signature. I placed small little sparks of my own Soul tapped flames into each of you. So I can find you or your siblings where ever you are. Its good to see you two again Steve and Nisi. From what the Kin and my brothers have told me you two are avenging killers." Steve "Are you angry with us master?" Dad "No apart of me wants to scold you both for using my teachings this way. But I can understand and approve of the means to why you've taken up this path. However I will warn you two that violence maybe a quick answer. But it causes a lot to pay attention to you. Just remember what happened to me if you need anymore insight." Dad takes a sip from his glass to walk over and pat my arm. Dad "I heard from Dane that you passed the trails in the flame tombs. I take it your waiting to tell your mothers and siblings?"
"Yeah dad still thanks your not being mad that I'm not going to be the next prince of the Grasslands?" Dad "I'm actually glad. Not about you not trying to take my throne while I've been gone. And yes even though I'm not sure who will succeed me now. I'm not going to stop you from being who you want to be. Your old man couldn't be happier for your choice believe me." I chuckle "Dad can you be any more sappy? If this is the time you're going to give me the birds and bees talk then please skip it. Momma M already made us sit down and watch a really weird video so don't want to go through that again." Dad "Yeah Marcy can be pretty blunt when it comes to sex talk. I was actually going to have you each go on staged dates with various Grass kin and have them explain things." "That actually sounds like you're trying to get out of teaching us sex ed. dad." Dad "And that's the point Jacob. You'll find out later in life that just like you for some parents its odd to explain sex ed. to their kids. Still I'm happy for you and I can't wait to see how Elea will take the surprise too."
Oh shit I still have to tell mom that I'm the successor to her throne though. "Crap mom's going to kick my ass in the successors test... Wait you said you know where we are in the world right? Do you know where Emma goes off to every odd day?" Dad "I do but I'll let her explain that when she's ready. Might be sooner then you think. But for now I need you and everyone else we care for to be safe. I've found out what the Shifter wants to do. And I need to brief the world leaders before things get too bad." "Dad how bad are things going to get?" Dad "Really bad the world might get engulfed by a whole new war. One that I doubt I'll be able to stop from coming or ending well. Which is why I need to guarantee that those we care for are ok. Connor and Fox are no doubt going to be with our enemies. And the last thing I want to see is anyone I care for hurt.
"For now Steve Nisi Jermaine is turning a blind eye to your action to focus on defending and dealing with whatever the Shifter has planned. So a word of warning to you both things aren't going to be easier for you two as time goes on. I must admit though its funny to see some of the states you leave criminals and idiots in. But at the end of the day its your chose on how you choice to work. Jacob remember to be home no later then ten. At that point a squad of Grass kin will come and get you. And no that wasn't my plan that was what your mothers agreed on. See you home son." With that dad teleports away in a green amalgamation of light. "So that happened you two planning for what's to come?" Steve "I'm sure we'll have to change our live styles sooner or later. But for now crime will be punished our way. One broken and dead killer at a time."
Nisi smirks to walk past me. Her milky lifeless eyes still as stunning as when I first found out the truth about them. Nisi stops at the side doorway to exhale. Nisi "Prince Jacob you don't need to worry about us. We've managed to survive even to this day without master's assistance. Just as he did we will show our resilience and will to move forward as we believe is right. Master fought to return to be with you his loving family be sure not to waste the chance that he worked for." Feeling Nisi's words she walks off down the side hallway and Steven continues to watch TV. Steve "Seems the world leaders are readying to meet for the meeting master has called. But what worries me is what will happen with all the worlds most powerful people meeting in one place." "Knowing my dad we won't have to worry about security Steve. I'll see you and Nisi later Steve."
Joey's View
It's bedtime Momma B made us all go to bed at ten cause she said she doesn't want to be unhappy. Momma E told me she wasn't happy that Sis E came home late. Sis E always does that I know why Momma E was so angry. Dad told me that Momma E like all my Momma's just care too much sometimes. Dad told us all good night but I'm still not ready to go to bed. Waiting for a little I hear bro J snoring and Sis M starts to play a soft tone on her alarm clock. Smiling I hop out of bed in my PJ's and carry my sword out my room. I sneak past Sis K's room she always tells me to go back to sleep. And magic locks my door to keep me in. I sneak into dad's study and out onto his outside looking perch. Momma M calls it's a bal... balcenny... dallenny something. It's a big word that I can't say.
But I come out here to play swing my sword and dream of adventuring like dad. Bro C told me a story and a few warrior tips from the big hero's book. That he and my other big bro's and sis's went to get. I didn't like that day. Momma E wrapped a rope around me and wouldn't let me play swing and play adventure. 'Awesome look it Joey the coolest hero from the Grasslands. Oh dude you the coolest guy around Joey. Hey Joey you kicked that giants butt good. Joey can I get a kiss?' I really like my dreams but what's poking my face. I turn with my lips still put out to kiss my dream girl to see dad squatting down next to me. I jump back scared that he saw me making kiss faces with the air. Dad just stays at his spot and smiles at me. Dad "I see that you're already practicing for when you kiss a girl huh Joey."
"Sorry I'm not in bed dad." I play kick nothing but dad pats my head. Dad "Joey I'm not mad at you. Your mothers will be mad yes. But me I know better then stressing that you're not asleep by your bedtime. So do you always come here you practice at night?" "Yeah dad I do. Momma's kept finding me in other places in the house whenever I try to stay up. So I come out here to wait for them to give up. Sometimes they don't even bother to come in here." Dad looks away from me his eyes look sad but he turns back to me normal. Dad "It's cause this room holds memories Joey. When your older some memories hurt differently." "Like when you eat bad chips and it makes you use the bathroom a lot. Cause Momma M did that to uncle Jake and it's was funny." Dad "A little only when you remember these memories they make you feel sad in here." Dad pokes my chest causing me to laugh.
I push away his hand. But dad keeps poking me until I almost pee myself. Dad hugs me and carries me back into his study room. Sitting in his big chair dad's little pet lies down on his desk table. Dad "Joey this is one of the few times you've seen Calamity and Hawk right?" Soon dad's floating skull comes over from a shelf and puts some books down on his table. "Is the cool looking squirrel called Hawk dad?" Dad laughs and the squirrel to hit me with its tail. Squirrel "I am no squirrel little one. I am a ferret and I am called Calamity young one, so watch your tone." "Dad the squirrels being mean." Dad "Play nice both of you. Joey do you want to here a story to help you sleep?" "Sure dad I like your stories." Dad laughs to say his odd words again and has a book float over to us. Dad waves his hand and makes a few pages move then stops at one page.
Dad "The story of the two tone Tom. Tom once there was a great fiddle player. He would spend night and day playing his fiddle not caring where he was or how he played. Through caves, over creaks, down hills, and over snowy hills. Tom would play his two-string fiddle and not care how off he would sound. Some people laugh, others yelled, and others turned their heads trying not to yell. The animals loved Tom's tone because it was peaceful and simple. One day Tom walked through a village that forbid music. They yell and shouted at Tom to stop and leave. But Tom did not he played even as they throw rocks at him. Tom's strings made a loud twang as one rock caught them. Tom now sad walked away slowly from the village his strings both snapped in two. But one little girl saw Tom and liked his simple music. The girl ran from home and followed Tom as he walked silently through the rain.
"For days Tom had a sad face and even as the girl saw the woodland creatures walk by Tom. His face remained sad his fiddle hanging from his back. His fiddles strings hanging as well from time to time a light twang would come from them. As the girl followed Tom she worried if he'd ever play again. One night the girl heard soft words in her ear the whisper said 'Every tone has a voice let your own be heard'. The next day the girl awake to find a fiddle at her side. This fiddle had four strings. The girl began to pluck and after a day she made her own tone. With nowhere to go and Tom nowhere in sight. The girl walked off following her own tone. Like tom before her Four string Sally played her merry tone for all to listen to. Not listen or caring for us tones but her own." With dad's story over I smile and hug him. He hugs back and stroked the back of my head. Dad "Joey grow up and follow your own tone don't follow someone else's." I smile and nod back to him.
Dad carries me back to my room telling me to get some sleep. As dad was about to leave I grab his shirt. "Dad can I go with you to the leaders meeting tomorrow? Madeline and Katya will be with Momma Isa tomorrow. She said they were going to be with her learning how to control their powers and practice ward spells. And Momma E says I'm still to young to learn to fight. Even though uncle Jake is still teaching me." Dad smiles to me "Sure I'll take you but you'll have to wait with one of the Grass lords while I'm in the meeting." "No I want to be with you the whole time. Or I'll stay up all night annoying you." Dad smiles and pats my head. Dad "Ok but you have to be quiet and let the grown ups talk ok." I nod and hug dad one more time and he wraps me in my covers.
Finn's View
I press my phone to my head listening to Jermaine's news. "Ok from what I got we have a lead on our thief. I'll tell you more once we have him and his crew in cells. Don't worry Jermaine and be sure to contact the OOO Defense Force. I have a feeling that things will get bad soon after the talks in Colony. Yes and I'll be sure to tell Jake to cool it with the random texts. Elea is starting to get annoyed too." Ending the call I head downstairs and wake up Bmo. Bmo "How's ready to play video games?" "Heck yeah Bmo I'm ready. What you got that'll give me a challenge?" Bmo "I have the game SkullBourne. It's really hard and it gets Sophia angry when she played it. She broke the controller because she kept dying." I nod take the controller from next to him and start to play.
I make a slim but fit archer class that's also good with throwing weapons. Bmo was right the fighting in this game is tough. I smile remembering the last time I played a real life video game. Jake and me got sucked into Bmo's game and he almost combo moved us to death. But after a few days of cake and ices cream he forgave us. I don't know how long I spent on the game because I felt a harsh slap to the back of my head. I paused the game and turned to see Bella staring down at me. Bella "Your kids and families are worried about you and a war that's looming. And your spending the night playing video games!" I look at my phone seeing that I spent that last eight hours playing the hard game. I sigh saving the game and hugging Bella.
"Don't worry about me. I was raised to be the hero remember." Bella slapped me again this time harder and on the cheek. Bella "Your family comes first and you better never forget that." Seeing her close to tears I pull her into a gentle kiss. However I feel the shifting in her weight and her size to mine. Now in her anthro wolf form she nuzzles my neck. Bella "Don't you dare abandon us again. I don't think I can take another ten years without you sleeping with us in bed. Without hearing you call the kids to wake up. Joey and Connor ran downstairs a number of times thinking they heard your voice. Please don't put them through that again." Hugging her I kissed her neck. I need to stay I can't bear to see them sad. Even when I was watching them form the Tree it hurt too much for me to ignore. I lightly placed my head to her shoulder enjoying the warmth of the embrace. And how wrenching this can be for them if I fail to return.
Jester; So touching well like always like, share, and comment if its not too much.
Smiles; Peace off and WE'LL HUG YOU LATER!
