Chapter 6
"Finally' said Ed. I looked around and Ed wasn't there. I looked and saw Kristina, Stephanie and d I in the cage and the man and the women outside of it. There was also another man there now. He looked familiar but I couldn't place his face. I started screaming for Ed.
"Ed. Where are you?"
"Uh, right here." I looked toward the sound but all I saw was the strange new man.
"Where?"
"Right here" said the man.
"Hey your not Ed." I said with content in my voice.
"Yeah I am. I went to school with you and we went here and I watched you spell the crystals, and I granted you two out of three wishes.
"No way." I wanted to step out of the cage but the two unidentified people were still there.
"Yeah way" said Ed.
"Okay if you're Ed then who the hell are they."
"We'll how about some hints," said the man.
"You three are orphans. You three now have powers. You three feel closely tied together." The women continued.
"Nope. Hasn't hit me." I said.
"Well how's this." Stephanie smacked the back of my head.
"Duh it's obviously it's bout us three. Are you really that thick?" said Steph.
"Yeah and now that you hit me I am even more thick." I retorted. "Okay no more hint playing who the hell are you people?"
"Hey is that the way to talk to your parents?" said the man.
"What?" I said baffled.
"Yes look. You three all have Celtic knot necklace correct?" said the women.
"Yeah but how did you-" I started.
"Shhh. Listen don't speak. Now Joe you have the top point and Stephanie has the left and Kristina, you have the right. Correct?" I looked and we all took out our necklaces and nodded. "Now place them on top of each other. Joe, Kristina, and then you Steph. Good. Now cover them with your hands and say:
Now that we children
Have become the power
Make us whole in this hour
Unite us three, now and forever." We recited the spell as the women said and our hands got warm. When we opened them the three pieces had now become three whole Celtic Knots.
"Well. Not bad for you Mom huh?"
"Hold on a minute that means that…" I said.
"Yep. You three are sisters and brother." Said the man. "And we are your parents."
"Yep I am Selene. Goddess of the Moon." Said Selene
"And I am Apollo. The God of the Sun. You three are the Ultimate Power Of Three. You three will now be watched over by many and sought after by those who need guidance.
"Uh-huh. So what your saying is we have to deal with other people's crap as well as our own lives and somehow find time to vanquish demons in the middle?" I said.
"Well if you want to look at it like that…." Said Apollo. "Yeah so now can you take down the cage so we can hug you guys?"
"Why not." Said Kristina. I carefully kicked one of the crystals so that the cage dropped and we embraced our parents.
"Hold On what about Ed?" I asked
"Well… you see he was meant to watch over you and to make sure that you got your powers. But you see hw was imprisoned in the body of a snail because most species of snails live for a long period of time and plus the 200 year margin we had to let you grow up and fulfill the prophecy we figured that a talking snail is better than a talking worm." Said Selene. All of a sudden I heard a crash downstairs.
