Short but just to get me out of this arc, but I love where it goes. I am not ignoring this masterpiece, I am still writing it.
Love you all.
"What were you thinking?"
Dante ignored Piper's yelling, managing to sit down as he appeared in the Halliwell manor. He had just explained the full force of his choice with the tribunal with Chris, who all but celebrated his choice. Both were happy to have saved so many lives by the simple act of binding Wyatt's obnoxious powers.
Still, Piper was furious. However Phoebe, in a sudden act of ... something, bent over and groaned. "Woah, what was that?" She said, holding her abdomen. "You... you are terrified, horrified. I have never felt so much fear in my life."
He frowned at her. "How did you... are you an empath?" He focused on her aura, the essence of power she wielded. "You are an empath, it is fresh and new but it feels accelerated, likely from being a goddess... interesting... I will speak to Chris on this." Shaking his head, he turned to Piper. "Piper, your son is so intensely powerful he created a freaking Dragon. He cost hundreds of lives, and risked exposure for all of us. Your son as a toddler did that. I cannot tolerate that and neither should you."
Piper, shaking, looked at him with betrayal and shock and... understanding all at once. "I... I... I cannot..."
"Piper, you are a good mother, but that also means you are too close to Wyatt to objectively realize the threat he represents to the world. He has cosmic power as an infant, no one should have that much power at such a tender age. He cannot comprehend his actual power, the influence he holds over the world. He made a dragon, Piper, he did this under your watch. Under all of your watch. Binding his powers keep him from becoming dead and saves countless lives on all sides of the spectrum. You cannot choose him over the world, that is evil even if you are a parent. I know you love him, Piper, I get that, but he cannot ever come before the world."
The room went quiet and Piper huffed, before sighing. "I know that, objectively, but being a parent means choosing your child first always, or so I thought. My family never chose us first and I think I am letting that get the best of me."
"I figured as much, which is why I have been chosen to become his guardian. I am the only one among us that has an entirely grey view on Wyatt. I am willing to bind hi powers for the world and so on. Now... let us each get some rest and focus on the days to come... we all need some rest and we all need to recenter ourselves. I recommend you all take the meditation exercises you've been learning and just regulate yourself. Piper, if I were you I would remember your past victims and those you've saved. Remember what is at risk by ignoring the dangers you and your family present when not regulated."
He stood tall and spiralized away, to his lair, where he saw Chris moving through some Katas as taught to him by the Valkyries. "You look exhausted."
"I feel it, I just had to explain my actions to your family... now... let's work on combat, My hand-to-hand needs some serious upgrading if I am to help you. Let's get started."
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a joy to write.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
