"Are you alright?" Ghost Piper asked worried.
He took him a moment before he answered her.
Chris slowly stood up pulling his mother with him.
"I'm fine! This is amazing, I feel so.. so powerful. Like I hold the whole world in my hands. Everything seems to be so clear and easy. I can't describe it to you."
He smiled at dead Piper and she smiled back gently touching his arm.
"I'm so proud of you, Christopher."
He kissed his mothers forehead. He could see fear and worry in her eyes.
"I know. Don't worry it will work out. I promise."
Dead Piper nodded and went a few steps backwards, she looked a last time at her second born.
"I love you. No matter what!"
Than she vanished leaving Chris once again alone.
All the magical beings congratulated Chris to the successful happening .
He took the congratulations with a smile before he turned to the charmed ones which were still standing behind the crowd. Waiting.
He hold his hands up and the room silenced almost at once.
"I thank you all. But we don't have time for that now. You need to go to your units. In two hours from now the battle will begin. Go and spend some quality time with your beloveds before it is to late. We'll meet in one and a half ours."
The council members and the other magical beings left the room, leaving Chris with the charmed ones.
He walked over to them.
"Well that was quiet a show young man." Paige stated before she and Phoebe hugged him.
"We are so glad you are all right."
He hugged them back and smiled.
"Thanks. That means a lot to me." He hesitated a moment before he let his green eyes travel to Pipers brown ones.
He wasn't sure how she would react.
His worries were unnecessary Piper walked straight towards him and hold him tight.
"Oh Chris."
He embraced her tighter and inhaled her scent deeply. He remembered this scent. His mother had always smelled this way. Like jasmine and spring.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
They stood like this for a few minutes before they parted.
"Listen! I don't want you to follow me, all right?"
Paige shook her head in disbelieve.
"What? Why not? Don't you think we could be useful? Just to your knowledge we killed demons long way before someone even thought about you, Mister!"
Chris smiled before he shook his head.
"Paige! Do you have the slightest idea how ridicules that sounded?" Phoebe asked before Chris could say something.
"Kids. Stop it!"
Piper said in a motherly tone to Phoebe and Paige.
"Chris. We could help you." His mother said gently.
"I know, Piper. Look, I can't concentrate when I know that you might be in danger. You have to think about your safety, about mini me`s safety."
She smiled at that.
"Promise me that you will be careful."
"Promised!" Piper kissed his forehead before she let him go.
The charmed ones observed him as he walked down the corridor.
Phoebe and Paige were holding Pipers hand.

Melinda stood together with Balfour before the priest and the seer.
She didn't pay attention to the things that happened around her.
I can't believe this is really happening. Chris. Oh god Chris I wish you would be here.
"We are here to witness the connection between two houses. Both of them old and powerful. This connection will be great for us all. It will be a bond of blood. A bond of loyalty and a bond of trust."
Faith squeezed Wyatt's hand. A tear rolled down her cheek and he gently wiped it away.
"You're helpless." He whispered into her ear.
Faith swallowed. Little did he know that she was crying because she knew that her time was running out. She kissed his lips.
"I love you." She whispered back.
For a moment Wyatt wondered what had gotten into his beautiful wife but the moment past.
His attention wandered back to the ceremony.
"Give me your hands. I will connect you not only by blessing but also by blood."
Automatically Melinda gave her hand to the seer. He raised his athame, ready to cut in her palm when the hall began shaking.
Wyatt looked around but he didn't see anything suspicious. It was like an earthquake. He brought Faith closer to his body to protect her.
The guests also tried to hold off. Balfour put his arm around Melinda's waist to protect her but she shook it off.
Suddenly the shaking stopped.
In the middle of the room appeared a shining blue light. The people in the room closed their eyes because of his brightness.
When Wyatt reopened his eyes he saw his little brother standing in the middle of the room. Dressed in black. With his sword by his side.
