Chapter 6
"Are you sure you're all right little one? You look pale."
"I am fine for the hundredth time Lucivar, please let me relax a bit before mother sees me." The flight started out fine she barley felt anything. About half way home her jewels started to strain to keep the wings up. She had to pull everything out of herself in order to make it to the back door. Even then she didn't make it all the way to the ground before the wings disappeared. "I just need a little more practice."
Throwing his arm over her shoulder Lucivar smiled. "Let's just hope they didn't take all the food away."
Both putting a little more speed in their step they headed for the dining hall.
Sitting quietly at the huge table Valyn ate alone. He ate slowly still trying to figure out what had happened that morning fully aware that there were very impatient servants waiting to clear the place out and start preparing for dinner. His deep thoughts were broken by the laughter coming from the hallway.
Harmony and Lucivar walked through the laughing.
"Your mother would kill me if she knew I told you about her talk with Surreal, so if you would please not mention this conversation until we go hunting again."
Entering the dining hall all the color drained from Harmony's face. Lucivar put an arm around her waist fearing that she would collapse. Hearing a chair scrape he realized that someone was in the hall. Valyn quickly over making Harmony push him away.
"Are you all right Lady?"
"I'm fine Prince Valyn, thank you for your concern."
Looking from Harmony to Valyn, Lucivar tried not to figure why they were nervous. Thank the Darkness that Daemon walked in the door.
Noticing the weakness coming from his daughter and Lucivar's confusion Daemon instantly rose to the killing edge and headed straight for Valyn. "I knew that you were trouble the instant Harmony brought you through that door."
"Get your hands off him."
That voice so familiar, but so different. He dropped Valyn and turned expecting Jaenelle. He found his daughter. She had rose to meet him on the killing edge to protect Valyn. No she had gone past the killing edge; she had gone into the abyss.
Talking to her father from the abyss made her sound cold. She felt the power coming from further below her. She needed the power. She needed to protect her Prince. Without thinking Harmony gathered all her mental strength and dove further into the abyss breaking all her ties to the real world.
She felt it. She felt the waves of power coming from the hall. It only took Jaenelle another second to realize that the power was coming from her daughter. With that she broke out in a dead run toward the power.
Out of breath she finally made it to the first floor. She called out to Daemon and got Saetan.
*Witch child get to the dining hall as fast as you can. We can't stop her. *
Getting to the dining hall proved to be more difficult than it looked. It was only a few steps away but every step turned into a thousand mental knives going through her body. When she finally made it to the door she found something she never thought she would see. Lucivar, Saetan, and Valyn were under two black shields and one ebon gray still wincing in pain. She instantly through Twilight's Dawn shield around them and then started to worry about her husband and her daughter.
"You will never again touch him father."
Mentally screaming he nodded his head in hope that she would loosen her grip on his body and stop sending daggers through his mind. Knowing that he couldn't take much more he almost fainted in happiness as he heard the cold voice that could save him.
"Harmony what are you doing to your father?"
The mental daggers stopped and Daemon was released from here invisible fist surrounding him.
"He tried to hurt my Gaidin. I need my Gaidin to protect me." With that she fell to far into the abyss, she broke her own mind with memories from the past.
She finally felt relaxed. Finally had time to try to figure things out. Memories that didn't belong to her had been popping into her head two weeks ago and she needed time to figure them out. This was the perfect time, she was alone and it was quite.
*What about your Gaidin? *
*I don't know what that is mother. *
*You seemed to know in the real world. *
*It's just a word that was in my head. *
*Lorn said that you would be special when you were born, but I never expected you to be having memories that come from the beginning of the blood. *
*How do you know about those? How do you know where they are coming from. *
*I noticed that you have been more withdrawn lately so I decided to go to the keep. Draca had tons of books explaining what you are going through. *
*What am I going through? *
*Once every few million years a Witch is born. This is no normal Witch; she is the first Witch ever to receive the gift of the blood reborn. The Witch is only reborn when the realms are in grave danger*
*So I have to follow in my mothers footsteps and save the planet? *
*In the future you will have to but for now concentrate on getting out of here. The only way I can help you is to bring all the pieces together; the rest is up to you. Come back soon. * With that Jaenelle disappeared and she was alone again.
*I still don't know what a Gaidin is. * An image appeared in front of her. The woman that appeared in front of her was a mirror image of herself.
*You're the first Witch aren't you. *
*So are you. *
Can you tell me what a Gaidin is? *
*Watch. * The image began to waiver and became a meadow. Standing in the meadow were two women. One looked exactly like her and the other was dressed more low class than she.
"Lady you know you have to choose a Gaidin to protect you. With any luck he will also be the one you choose to have a child with. You have to carry on the bloodline and have many children."
"Why do I have to be protected? Don't you think I can protect myself?"
"It is only to please the higher courts. The blood must be protected, the gift must be protected, and you must be protected."
"I will chose a Gaidin, and I will honor the dragon that gave her life to give me the gift. Will that please you?"
"Yes lady the whole nation will be glad to here that you will be making your decision."
The image faded to herself again. *Are your questions answered?*
*Yes but where will I find you again if I need your help?*
*You have to look in yourself for the answers. For I am you and you yourself making us one.* The image disappeared flooding her head with memories that felt like they happened yesterday but spanned over millions of life times.
*That was interesting.* She was alone again. Her broken chalice lay on an altar in front of her. *This shouldn't be too hard.* With that Harmony started to rebuild her shattered self while singing a simple tune. *The knee bone is connected to the leg bone: the leg bone is connected to the hipbone. I'll be home in no time* Humming her song Harmony thought of Valyn.
As soon as the shields dropped Valyn was by Harmony's unconscious body. Noticing Jaenelle in the same condition got him worried. "Where are they?"
"They went to the twisted kingdom. Janelle went on her own free will to find her daughter."
"What about Harmony?"
"I'm afraid that she was pushed there. We should move them to their bedrooms it will be awhile before either of them wakes up." Daemon scooped Jaenelle into his arm and headed toward the door only pausing to see that Valyn did the same.
"Are you sure you're all right little one? You look pale."
"I am fine for the hundredth time Lucivar, please let me relax a bit before mother sees me." The flight started out fine she barley felt anything.
