My muse still hasn't returned so that's why this chapter took so long. But I'm glad to see that there were a lot of people who wanted to see this story continued. Well here it goes, please enjoy and review.
Charmed, The Legend of the 4
Chapter 9:The Warning's Translation
By P3Lover
Leo stood before the four cloaked figures that were the elders. All around him was a blank area with clouds passing up above and the occasional swirling of orbs appearing in the air from out of nowhere.
"You say the Charmed Ones have found the warning from the premonition." One of them spoke.
"That's right, but there is a problem with it. It is written in some language that they can't translate." Leo explained.
"Well, let us take a look at it and see if we recognize the language used." Another said holding out his hand.
Leo hesitated before speaking again.
"What's the hold up? Give us the warning!"
"I didn't bring it with me, the girls were still looking at some other information about the 4." Leo told them.
"Than return to your charges and retrieve it. Please don't take too long, the whole world is in danger."
With that Leo orbed back down to earth to the manor in San Francisco.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the manor the girls were busying themselves practising their
new-found powers.
"Speed them up Prue, I need a bit of a challenge." Phoebe said.
"Fine, but don't blame me if you don't hit any of the targets." Prue said.
Prue started spinning a bunch of targets around the room as fast as she could, while Phoebe floated in the middle of the basement shooting bolts of lightning at them. Since Leo had gone to inquire about the warning with the elders Piper had discovered an extra effect of her new power; it made her intangible too. So Paige was orbing athames at the intangible Piper, who would in turn freeze them then throw them back at Paige.
"You missed me that time, you need to concentrate and listen to my movements and don't forget to listen to your instincts either." Piper advised Paige.
Paige threw another athame at Piper. Piper let it pass through her before freezing it. She then became visible long enough to grab the athame and hurl it back at Paige.
"Athame!" Paige called holding out her hand.
The athame turned into dozens of little orbs which flew into Paige's hand before being hurled back at Piper. Piper threw the athame back to Paige. At that moment Leo orbed in right in front of Paige.
"Leo!" Piper yelled freezing the athame mid-flight.
"Bad time? Nice to know I'm cared for." Leo said smiling.
"You're back early. What did they say?" Paige asked.
"That they need to see the warning. Where's the Grimoire?" he asked.
"It's in the attic near the Book of Shadows." Phoebe said flying towards Leo.
"Thanks, I'll go get it then get back to the elders." Leo said and orbed up to the attic.
"Maybe we should go back to throwing apples." Piper suggested.
"You might be right." Paige said laughing a little.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the Grimoire in hand Leo orbed to the elders. When he arrived back up there they were talking to another whitelighter so Leo waited patiently. Once they were finished Leo walked over to them and handed them the Grimoire, open on the warning.
"It appears to be a mixture of languages. There are traces of Latin, Atlantan (I just made that up, I think) and ancient Egyptian, and that is only at a glance. We'll have to have a good look at this before we can tell you anything." They said.
"How long will that take? We don't know when the 4 will strike again." Leo said trying to impress upon them the urgentness of the situation.
"We are aware of the importance of this warning, but things will take as long as they are meant to take, no one can rush that." they told him. "It might be best for you to deal with your charges and we will call you when we've translated the warning."
"Thank you." Leo said and orbed out.
To be continued…
Sorry it's so short but there's that problem of my lacking of a muse, any suggestions would be welcomed. Until next time, stay Charmed. I'm thinking of doing another Charmed story once I've finished this one, let me know if it would be worth my while.
