Chapter 17
Phoebe knocked on Piper's door, "Piper?" she called. It was morning and she and Paige still hadn't thought of a way to find Morian. They had decided to leave Piper alone last night, she was going through enough, but now they needed her help. Ideas were a good thing right now, and she a Paige were fresh out of them. Chris hadn't returned either and it would be nice to know what he was up too.
As the thought of Chris entered her mind, questions came as well. None of them had really dealt with what Izzy had told them, about Chris being Piper's future son. He looked to be just about as old as her too... but that would mean she would have to be pregnant now..."Piper?" she called again. Still no answer, she pushed the door open thinking she was probably still asleep. She flipped the light and then saw both Leo and Piper in her bed, "Oh my God!"
Piper woke up and suddenly saw Phoebe, "Oh God!"
"Sorry!" Phoebe said quickly walking out and closing the door, "Why me? Why is it always me who walks in when she's not supposed to!?" Paige was in the hallway apparently thinking of getting Piper as well.
"What's wrong? Where's Piper?"
"Uh...she's indisposed at the moment, come on." Phoebe said trying to usher Paige away from her room. Just then Leo walked out of her room and looked at them both, smiled and turned slightly red looking embarrassed, and went to the attic.
"Oh....oh my," Paige said realizing what Phoebe had probably just walked in on. Piper opened the door shortly after that, "What?" she asked at seeing the look on both of their faces.
"Had some fun last night Piper?" Paige asked trying to hold back laughter. Phoebe couldn't hold it in when Piper turned bright red. Paige started laughing as well.
"Looks we don't have to worry about Chris's existence anymore!" Phoebe exclaimed.
Piper's embarrassment quickly faded at Phoebe's words, "What?" Paige's laughter died as well and they both looked at Phoebe like she had just said the most absurd thing they had ever heard.
"What? Come on, guys think about it! Izzy said that Chris was her cousin, Piper's son, and the two of them looked considerably close in age. If I'm pregnant with her now, that means that Piper---"
"Should be pregnant with Chris soon, if she isn't already." Paige finished.
"Oh God," was all Piper could say.

"You claim the future of Avalon's magic is at stake?" she questioned.
Chris looked at her, the Lady of Avalon. She was a beautiful as legend claimed, if not more, and he knew that if he couldn't convince her, then he might as well be dead. "I know the future of Avalon's magic is at stake." He said with an air of confidence. He knew it was the truth, but he had to convince them, which wouldn't be so easy. When Avalon secluded into the mists, it had done so because the world no longer accepted it's ways, now they were very suspicious of outsiders.
"You are very bold for one so young, where is you proof?" a priestess asked.
"My Lady," Chris said going down on one knee, "I have no proof I can give you except my word. I came from the future in order to save it, magic, and my family. My brother will be Wyatt Halliwell, the one chosen to wield Excalibur and protect all of magic. But something happens to him, a demon or some form of evil gets to him and he turns. Instead of protecting magic he abuses it and goes on a quest to become all-powerful. He destroys Avalon and kills everyone and everything who oppose him, including family. It was only recently that I was able to discover what really happens to him."
"What you claim is troubling, and if truth it must not be ignored—however you give us no proof to support your claims."
"My Lady, if his claims are true then he would have the blood of an Elder within his veins," said a young girl who sat at her side.
"You are correct, Nenonial, but before I test his blood I would like to know what evil he claims to get to young Wyatt Halliwell. Perhaps we may not need to test him."
"It's not what gets to him, it's more who gets to him. Our mother, Piper Halliwell, is the only one meant to give Wyatt Excalibur and train him with it, however she and her sisters are killed by a demon that was sent after her by a sorcerer called Morian. My cousin Isabelle was able to determine that by her power of premonition she inherited from her mother."
At the mention of the name Morian, the Lady sat up and a look of shock appeared in her eyes. "Are you sure?"
"The power of premonition is rarely off! He must be sure!" another priestess exclaimed.
"I ask you again, Christopher Halliwell, is this true?" the Lady asked in a very serious voice. Chris had been slightly taken aback by this reaction at the mention of Morian's name. He hadn't expected this. "I'm positive, my father picked him to train Wyatt with Excalibur, and he becomes Wyatt's right-hand man."
"I will hear no more!" she said standing up, "It was thought Morian's power was taken away when Vivian banished him from Avalon all those years ago, but apparently this was not so. You will need our help if you wish to succeed in your mission, and you shall have it."

"Wyatt, it's not your fault they died!" she shouted.
"What do you know?" he shouted turning angry, "I don't have time for this, Chris needs to be stopped." He said turning to the triquatra drawn on the wall so long ago,
"In this time and in this place,
Remove the chains of time and space.
Let past be present that time regain,
Let me see the time from which my brother came."
The portal glowed, and he walked through it, "No!" Izzy shouted running after him.
Phoebe knocked on Piper's door, "Piper?" she called. It was morning and she and Paige still hadn't thought of a way to find Morian.
