Chapter 3
Seto's P.O.V.
We all woke up late the next morning, worn out from the previous evening. By lunchtime, Yugi was loading his stuff into his pickup and preparing to drive back to Caernarfon airport.
"I'll ring you later this week Kisa." He smiled as he clambered in with just a little difficulty. It was that afternoon that Morwenna turned up. Luckily Mokie was playing outside near the stream with Iola, I still hadn't come up with a way to explain what was going on to him. Keeping secrets from him was killing me, I'd always had a close relationship with my younger brother, after all, we'd only had each other for years.
Morwenna burst through the front door of the cottage, looking exactly as she had done the night she'd cursed Mokie and I, and looked disdainfully around.
"I never could understand how someone which as much power as Kisara had could live in such a…hovel." She said dramatically, she hadn't noticed me sat in a corner with a book I'd been reading, something which I was very glad for, but she noticed as soon as Kisara walking into the room, her hands clasped together.
"What? But I was told that you'd died!" She stammered as Kisara looked at her coldly.
"Looks like you were misinformed." She said, before throwing a ball of blue light that she'd hidden in her hands at Morwenna. The light hit her and seemed to sink into her.
"What was that?" Morwenna asked stupidly.
"I've removed your powers for now, if you can show me that you can be trusted then I'll give them back but you've been abusing them for far to long." Kisara replied calmly.
"How could you do this to me? I'm your mother!" Morwenna wailed in a way that would have made most actresses envious, her words causing me to stiffen in shock. I almost couldn't believe that Kisara was Morwenna's daughter, there was absolutely no family resemblance between them! The only similarities were that they were both tall and pale with black hair, other than that they were completely different in looks.
"The term mother is not a right, it's a privilege. I've left enough remnants of your power so that you can get yourself home but only enough for one trip so I'd advise that you learn to do things without magic." Kisara replied. This obviously wasn't the response that Morwenna wanted as she scowled and stormed out of the cottage. Once there she suddenly vanished in a puff of red smoke with golden glitter mixed in. The sound of Kisara sighing pulled my attention back to her. She was massaging her temples as if to stop a sudden headache.
"Are you alright?" I asked, causing her to look at me and smile lightly.
"I'm fine thanks, unfortunately my mother thinks that I owe her something due to her relationship to me and the fact that I'm far more powerful that she is." She said sitting down. I didn't say anything but looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to explain.
"I'm a direct descendant of Myrddin and Nimue, also known as Merlin and Vivien, on my father's side. I'm the current Lady of the Lake but, unlike the previous ones, I'm able to leave the lake for months at a time. No one knows why my powers are the strongest they've ever been in my family." She sighed. This again caused me to go into slight shock, if someone had told me that I'd be sitting in the same room as a direct descendant of Merlin, I'd have laughed at them and had them admitted to a psychiatric ward.
Strangely enough, the idea that Kisara was descended from Merlin and Nimue was comforting to me. It meant that she was definitely the best person to help my brother and I. With her help I eventually found a way to tell Mokie what had happened, although I did leave out the fact that it was Kisara's mother and that she'd wanted me to start sleeping with her. Over the next couple of months, Mokie and I grew weaker. I knew that it was the curse taking hold, finally, just before Kisara had finished preparing the spell to let us know who mine and Mokie's soul mates are, I noticed that Mokie was far more weak than me. It was fear for Mokie that prompted my next actions. I remembered that in one of the books in Kisara's library I'd read about a sort of spell where one person can transfer strength to another. I suppose that the curse was altering my way of thinking slightly but I thought that it would help Mokie and it didn't occur to me that it would have an adverse effect on me. I knew that if Kisara realised what I was planning, she would stop me so I had to research and plan in secret. The day before I planned on attempting the spell Mokie looked up at me.
"Seto, can I get a rabbit?" He asked. A slight lump rose in my throat at his question, he'd been wanting a rabbit for ages and so far I'd managed to put off getting him one but now I realised that I couldn't keep doing that.
"We'll see about it when we go home." I smiled. I think that Kisara was concerned about Mokie's lack of strength too as she insisted that he and Iola no longer spent all day outside.
"It's just until you start to feel better Cariad." She smiled at him when he complained. To keep him occupied, Iola started to teach him the piano and, as he had to spend more and more time inside, he progressed quickly. I felt very proud of how quickly Mokie was picking up the piano and, I promised myself that I would buy him one as soon as I could.
Yugi arrived back from Japan the next day to check on how things were going. He seemed surprised at how much Mokie and I had deteriorated, but he never commented. He too was impressed by Mokie's talent with playing the piano, in fact he kept saying it was "Super-special-awesome!", much to mine and Kisara's annoyance after he'd done it for the seventh time.
That night, after everyone else had gone to bed and were asleep I crept quietly into Mokie's room. According to the instructions that I'd read, I had to try and put my own strength into a physical shape in my mind and then separate a bit off before mentally pushing it to Mokie. It was strangely easy for me, so easy in fact that I sent him much more strength that I probably should have done. To be honest it wasn't really the best idea I've ever had anyway. By the time I'd finished, Mokie looked much better, his colour was better and his breathing easier. I, on the other hand, felt absolutely exhausted and was having difficulty breathing myself. I barely made it back to my room and to my bed before I collapsed, sinking instantly into unconsciousness.
