Chapter 2
Leo and Wyatt orbed Chris to his room and helped him lie down.
"I still don't know how I did it," Chris mumbled.
"Did what?" Leo asked.
"Create that silver lightning…" Chris murmured before drifting off to sleep. Leo looked at Wyatt, who was just as confused as he was. They slipped quietly out of the room.
In the hallway, Wyatt turned to Leo. "Silver lightning? That's not a Wiccan power. It's not even a Whitelighter power."
"No," Leo said thoughtfully, "but it is an Elder power."
"Not silver lightning. Your lightning is blue," Wyatt pointed out.
"I know, that's the strange part."
"Should we tell Mom about what happened?" Wyatt asked.
"Only if we have to."
"Where are they?" Piper asked, pacing.
"Piper, would you calm down. I'm sure they're fine," Paige said.
Just then, orbs appeared. "Finally!" Piper exclaimed. But Leo, Wyatt, and Chris didn't appear with the orbs. Two Elders did, one male and one female.
Leo and Wyatt walked in. Leo started. "Clareé, Odis, what are you doing here?"
"We have come for your son, Leo," Odis replied.
"What?" Piper shouted in surprise.
"Why?" Phoebe asked.
"Which one?" Paige inquired. When Piper and Leo looked at her strangely, she threw her hands up defensively and said, "What? I'm just curious!"
"It doesn't matter, they're not getting either of them," Leo stated firmly.
"Leo," Clareé said, "you know that if someone possesses Elder powers, they are already an Elder and must take their rightful place."
"Wait a minute, who has Elder powers?" Piper asked.
"Your son Chris," Odis answered.
"Technically, his powers aren't identical to an Elder. His lightning is silver, not blue," Leo pointed out.
"It doesn't matter," Odis said. "With his lightning, his healing powers, his ability to sense the magic around him and his power of invisibility, he is more of an Elder than anything else."
"You are not taking our son!" Piper yelled. "I won't let you!"
"You don't have a choice," Clareé calmly stated.
"The hell we don't," Leo softly hissed, narrowing his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but Chris must join us," Odis proclaimed.
"You are not taking my brother!" Wyatt exclaimed. As he spoke, a golden light pulsed around him.
Upstairs, a similar light appeared around Chris, however this light was a brilliant silver. Chris's eyes snapped open. In a far away voice, he whispered, "It's time."
P. Prue had had enough. "Okay! What the hell is going on here? Why are those people trying to take Piper's son? Why is he glowing? Where the hell am I? And what the hell are we doing here? Now, I demand some answers!"
"I'd like a few myself," Andy put in.
"We can't tell you because not only could there be consequences, but we don't know all of the answers," Phoebe said patiently.
"Well, I'd like to know why you're glowing as well," Piper said to Wyatt.
"Excuse me!" a dwarf interrupted from the door. "We're here to witness the King of Earth's and the Prince of the Heavens' coming to power," he said, gesturing towards the swarm of magical creatures with him. "How long are we going to have to wait?"
