Chapter 2 History

Chris finally reached his room for the first time since he went to his surprise birthday party. He decided to spend the whole weekend there with Derrick, Alex and Kyra. Those three were the only inhabitants of the house so it was okay for him to crash there that week. The owners, Alex's parents were out of town on business again. So now Chris was thinking over the group he had as that was like his real family.

Kyra Nightvine was a very silent girl who kept to herself. She was very different from her parents who were both magical beings. While her father, a warlock, was confident in everything he did, her mother, a water nymph, was energetic and could not stand put. Kyra did not inherit any of her personality from her parents. The two adults would visit their daughter from time to time but they did not stay long. With Mr. Nightvine being a politician caring about his popular image and Mrs. Nightvine loving to go out and party, to experience the modern world, they were gone most of Kyra's life. They only stayed to provide their daughter shelter and for small visits. Kyra did not inherit any of her parents powers either. She had been born as an oracle, a person that told of the future or gave advice to those around.

Derrick (Rick) Volterri was a bit of a mystery to Chris. All that Chris knew was that he lived long before the Jesus Christ. Born, not sired, into the world as a vampire but with a soul. He also knew Derrick never once tasted a drop of human blood but instead went for the blood of his kin and other demons. Derrick stated that his interest in human life prevents him from ever harming a human life. Derrick had told a story of a boy who he had befriended that grew up to be a great King. A boy who had faced against an army and a giant and changed the world. The will to fight inspired Derrick to treasure a humans life because it was fragile compared to all other races.

Alexandria (Alex) Niseason was a great person to rely on. She was strong and loyal able to lead and give advice to any one. Alex was someone that was hurt by her old friends when they had kicked her out of her own house. She was once known as Buffy Summers, the original slayer that was located at the Hellmouth at what used to be Sunnydale. After helping stop the threat of the First, she had left her friends after going through so many difficult things with them. Taking her out of Heaven, kicking her out of her own house, and causing so much pain. This caused her to be wary about others but the group brought her faith in others back.

It turned out that these three were meant to meet each other. They were three parts of a group that were suppose to be the top tier of power. An order known as the Primoris Magia or First Magic. An order that existed at the beginning of time before mankind older than the First Evil before the war between good and evil. There would be five members that were known as Dukes and Duchesses of the original core of magic.

The story of the Primoris Magia was old and thought to be nothing but a legend.

At the beginning before the first signs of life on the planet, there was magic. Magic roamed the land as a free living entity bringing life to a world of darkness. Through the darkness the source of all magic brought life as it traveled with new races growing from the earth. The original knew about the future in which magic would be involved and the grand design. The future where there would be two sides fighting in a war. The sides of good and the side of evil. A war which will end the world in nothing but destruction and chaos and will consume all. To prevent magic from getting out of hand, to bring fairness and equality and uphold the grand design, the original gave the last of its essence and power to create an order with five members to guard and guide the world in the use of magic.
The order had the job of making sure not one being would over step their boundary and create total chaos. To uphold the grand design as they mingle with the current world, the order were the ones who created and entrusted the angels of destiny to watch over the grand design. To watch from another plane but not interfere with the physical world. The order would take the job of interacting in the world and watching through time mediating all the magical affairs of the world. To watch the world, ensure equality and fairness, and prevent chaos from ending the world.

The original empowered the five with great powers and as guardians of one the five elements. Each member were a guard and master over air, water, fire, earth and lightning. To be immune to most of magic and any influence. Their most valuable gift is that of knowledge. Knowledge from millennia's worth of living in the world. For every few millennia a new group would inherit the old orders position and take up their duty. Derrick took the post of David, Duke of Lightning, along with Alex being Samson, Duchess of Water. Kyra had chosen the title Pythia Duchess of Earth. Each one chose a different name that they felt most close to. Derrick chose his name because David was the name of the boy he befriended. Pythia was the Oracle of Apollo in Ancient Greece so it suited Kyra. Samson for Alex because Samson was betrayed by one he thought he could trust but lost all his strength. These three were the latest generation chosen by their predecessors to carry on the duties of the order. Their first task though was to find the last two members before anything bad happened when they were at their weakest when they have not yet bonded their loyalty to the order.
How ironic that Chris was trying to avoid magic yet he befriends three of the most powerful magical beings.

The whole weekend Chris spent it at his friends since he was not scheduled to work. He did spend a good amount of time in the kitchen because none of his friends could cook to save their lives. Being a sous-chef at a four star restaurant automatically put Chris in the position of providing the three with home cooked meals or else they had to resort to take out. He did spend a few hours at Ash's place where she lived by herself.

Ashley (Ash) Eve Smith had been his friend since they were very young. Chris had met her when they were only four. He was in the park with his family when a demon had attacked. He had went into hiding as his mom and aunts fought him off. Wyatt had taken his father and sister as a baby away since they could not orb. Coop had taken his only girl to safety and Henry was worrying about his son and pregnant wife at the time. They did not notice Chris had gone missing while the fight was happening.

Chris had stumbled across Ash and her father a distance away from the events. Ashley noticed him by himself and decided to go and play with him. They became quick friends and Ash's father seemed to be fond of him the moment Chris made his daughter smile. Mr. Smith then noticed that nobody was coming to fetch Chris as the blue sky was darkening. So he offered to take the kid home. He noticed how Chris felt after he dropped him off at the front of the manor. A down caste face walking up the steps and he could hear the family did not notice the four year old boy was missing. Usually a four year old would have screams and cries of joy when his was found after being missing for a while. Mr. Smith heard nothing but saw through the window the same boy enter his room and just go to bed with the same sad face. It was decided then that the apartment Mr. Smith shared with his daughter would be used as a sanctuary away from his family for Chris.

They grew up together without the Halliwell house hold having any complaints. Jerold Smith took the post of father figure for Chris to grow up with. There was no Mrs. Smith as she left after Ash was born and never once visited. So the two kids became like sister and brother always watching out for the other and keeping their secrets safe. They then gained more family members as they met Derrick, Alex and Kyra. Jerold took to raising Kyra as her parents were away often, and gave a hand to Alex as she had nowhere else to go to. Derrick came in the picture at later date when the kids were already in their teens and took the role of the independent older brother.

So the close knit family took care of each other after, especially after Jerold passed away in unknown circumstances that only Ash knew and everybody respected her wishes of not saying a word. Ash lived on her own in the same apartment that was sanctuary to Chris. He did go over and help her out when he felt she needed it, especially since he had a spare key.
Now Chris was just there lying in his bed, after coming back from school waiting for his shift which would start in two hours. Chris was going to reach for his bag to grab his I pod to listen to but a gale had blown through his window and sent some papers he had on his desk flying. He sighed looking at the mess before turning his head.

"Hello Lilith, what brings you to visit such a humble mortal as myself." Chris spoke to a stunning blond. She seemed to be in her early 30's and stood at 5'8. An hour glass frame and piercing blue eyes.

"Now Chris, we both know that you are no ordinary mortal. Why do you so eagerly deny your duty and destiny." The lady smiled towards the teen as she stepped over and took a seat on his bed while Chris was standing.

"Why should I care about magic when after all the years I have lived it seems to be ignoring me. When magic has always seem to take everything away from me. You expect me to help it." Chris was getting angry at the woman telling him what to do.

"Do not judge magic all because of one outlook. Your friends, the ones you support, care for and encourage have accepted their duty and magic. Why is it so hard for you to accept your destiny."

"My destiny is of my own choice. I will not let someone else dictate my life. Why should I change myself for others happiness. To follow along with some things that I do not agree with."

"You will be saving lives, doing the world favors and helping others. Helping the greater good"

"Yet I will also be condemning others. There is no greater good or greater evil which have condemn many to this war. Neither is it about power which the other Wyatt viewed. I view it as being about life no matter whose it is. Be it demon, witch, or mortal. Everyone is entitled to life and to live it as they see fit."

"What about the demons that hunt down and kill innocents." Lilith smirked

"What about the clan or family that the demon was trying to help provide for. A demon is just another being looking out for their own. Would you not kill a chicken to save a family from starvation." Chris countered in a second.

"So you would sacrifice an innocent for a demon."

"Neither would I do that. I would rather give my own life to feed those demons and save the innocent. Life would still go on. That is why I choose my destiny to be a doctor to help heal anyone, a robber who killed a few or an innocent. I would not justify myself to be god and choose who lives and who dies." Chris was becoming more unstable.

"Nobody is insinuating that you are. You would not be acting like a god but more like a caretaker." Lilith tried to calm the youth.

"Your opinion is the reason why your so ideal for the job. You view the world just as the original viewed it. A place where life is too beautiful to mess with and one's life does not mean more than another. To be neutral in all decisions and not take one side over the other. You see the detail of a subject and not the general. You see the family that the man is trying to provide for when he steals not just that he is stealing. You see the gray area between the white and black." Lilith said while smiling at the boy.

Chris looked at her and smiled back at her.

"This was my last chance to convince you to take up my post. So you will not see or hear from me again. I have taught you in the shortest amount of time all that I know and hopes. If you take the position, you will then see me again. If not then this is goodbye." As she said her last word her body faded away turning into a gust of wind flying out his window.

Chris just stared at where she stood but was interrupted when something fell through his door. It was a short blond haired guy that was older than Chris. On his chest was a teen that was younger than Chris by about two years. These two were his older and younger siblings who seemed to be in the middle of a fight. His older brother Wyatt must have gotten their younger sister Melinda angry because she looked furious while Wyatt had a smirk on his face.

Chris decided to ignore them and head out of his room because the whole time he was talking to Lilith, an hour passed and now he had an hour to get to the restaurant for his shift. He grabbed his bag and just stepped over them which caught the two struggling siblings attention.

As Chris got to the bottom of the stairs he came face to face with Wyatt as he orbed in front of him. He then found himself on the floor when his little sister came and accidentally tripped running down the stairs landing on him. Which then caused him to fall into his brother. Causing a mess of bodies to land the ground.

"Nice going Mel, look at what you cause." Wyatt shot at his sister.

"This wouldn't have happened if you orbed me here too" She said while aiming a glare at the blond.

"I don't have to take you everywhere I go." Then the two started bickering which caused Chris to get more annoyed since he was still trapped in the dog pile.

"Would you two knock it off and tell me what you two want." Chris yelled to get their attention.

"No 'Hello' to your brother and sister after not seeing them for a while. I mean where do you disappear to." Stated Mel as she got up.

"Hi Mel. Mi Wy, how have you two been. Great, oh it's not your fault that you don't say Hi so it must be mine. I am so sorry. Well I must get going. Have a spectacular day." Chris sarcastically commented as he got up and was then again heading for the door.

"Chrissy" He was interrupted again as he felt a pair of arms hugging his leg. He looked down to see two sparkling brown eyes and long curls of brown with a happy smile directed at him. His nine year old cousin Patricia (Trix) Phoenix Halliwell was now stuck to him. He smiled down at his youngest cousin while picking her up.

"Have you been a good girl for the family Trix." She smiled again but now Chris noticed she was missing her two front teeth.

"Yes but I missed you. Where you been? Oh I made this for you in art class." She handed Chris a folded piece of paper. "Happy Birthday Chrissy." It was a birthday card with two people on it which he assumed was Trix and him. He hugged the girl thanking her, out of the second generation, she was the closest to him in the family. He would do anything for her.

The info about his birthday caught the attention of his siblings but he then noticed there were two others in the house. "Yeah…uh happy birthday Ch…" The other occupants were caught off when he raised his hand. He knew that they had forgotten.

"Save it, my birthday was on Friday not today. So you guys don't have to worry about it." Chris looked at the other three with a blank look.

"We didn't forget. We…uh were just busy. You know with the demon hunts and " At that moment two demons shimmered into the manor and started attacking.

Wyatt instantly grabbed his sister and cousin, Penelope Charlotte Halliwell and orbed them out of the fire. Chris shook his head noticing he forgot him and Trix but was not worried. As the energy balls came his way. A red shield came up and rejected the attacks to hit other places.

Again Chris was grateful for his Uncle on giving him the amulet. The amulet that rejects all magic and Chris found a way to power it up with his empathy and telepathy to form a shield. He knew Trix was a bit frightened and decided to leave the fighting to the three that left them.

He walked straight through the door without so much as a glance as another energy ball bounced back off the barrier. Or when he heard Wyatt vanquish one with his own energy ball. He just closed the door behind him when Penny stabbed the last demon with an athame.

He made it to his car, a 2017 Ford Mustang Hydrogen, he had bought last year with help from his grandpa. As he got to it, he went to the passenger and put Trix in the seat while putting on her seat belt.

"How would you like to spend the day with me at work. Do you want to go or do you want me to drop you off at home."

"WORK. I want to go with you." The little girl cheered with her smile back on after being scared. Chris just smiled and got in the drivers seat and pulled out. Heading to work not even thinking about what would happen when he got back.
