Chapter 28: Revelations and explanations.

Chelbell2016:

Ok I will try to have the first chapter of Operation overdrive up but then I need to update my other story.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

Daggeron, Bowen, my parents and I have just arrived at reefside. We are going to the cyberspace first. I stop them outside.

"Ok so this is where I worked when I was a dino ranger," I tell all four of the people present. "And one of my dad Tommy's friend owns the place."

They nod so I lead the way in. I see that Hayley has added a few more computers and I smile. I look to the bar and see a lot of familiar faces. I walk over and make sure they cannot see me.

"So do I still have staff discount or what?" I joke and everyone turns.

"Courtney!" Leanne says being the first person to run over and hug me.

Dad follows, then Hayley and Trent.

My family coughs behind me and it draws attention to them.

"Dad, Leanne, Trent, Hayley," I say as my mystic family walk over. "Most of you know each other but this is My father Leanbow, my mother Udonna, my brother Bowen and my godfather Daggeron."

Everyone nods their head and shakes hands. Except for my father.

"So.. How's business going Hayley?" I ask trying to get rid of the awkwardness between everyone.

"Fine," she says smiling.

"Can I just ask you something?" Dad T asks dad L.

"Go ahead," Leanbow says.

"Why exactly are you here?" Dad T asks.

"Dad!" I say.

"What?" Both ask.

They both begin to argue.

"THATS ENOUGH!" I say and I raise my hands.

What happens next shocks me. Everyone but the mystical people freeze.

"Dad T?" I ask making it clear this time.

A few seconds later and they unfreeze.

I decide to try and reason with the two. "How about we go to the house in reefside?"

They nod and we walk outside where I flame us there. I ask everyone but my parents to give us some time.

"I have a few questions as well?" I say and my parents nod.

"Where did all these magical gifts come from?" I say. "These powers... some of them aren't your average mystical powers!"

Dad sighs. "That's a long story," he says before turning to my adopted father. "But I also think it will help you to understand why me and Udonna made the decisions we did."

My dad thinks about it and then he nods his head.

"It all started 17 years ago... a few days before you were born..."

FLASHBACK:

Udonna is playing with her two year old son. She is also watching as her husband, her brother in law and their best friend train. She rubs her stomach where their child had just kicked. She was hoping for a girl this time. My sister Niella suddenly looks up as the oracle appears.

"Great warrior Leanbow and sorceress Udonna," he says nodding his head at all of us. "I have found a prophecy that I think concerns one of your children."

As he says this me and Leanbow jump to our feet.

"What do you mean?" Leanbow demands picking up our son. "What prophecy?"

He shows us an ancient scroll with some writing on it.

Daggeron, Cronos, Leanbow, Niella, Daggeron's wife Talia and Udonna read the scroll.

The twice blessed child destined to have many powers approaches.

She will be born on an equinox.

As she gets older her powers will grow.

She alone can defeat the darkness.

She alone is the light.

She will face many hardships but her journey will be great.

The twice blessed child destined to have many powers approaches.

As they finish reading Leanbow looks up.

"That doesn't necessarily mean our children," he tells the oracle. "Bowen wasn't born on an equinox and our new child isn't due for a few months. The equinox is in a few days. Don't worry."

FLASHBACK ENDED:

Father sighs. "We were naïve."

I wonder what he means but before I can ask mum speaks.

"We really didn't believe that this meant either of our children," she says before smiling at Leanbow. "Until a few days later...

FLASHBACK:

Udonna is sitting comfortably thinking about the equinox tonight. She is walking in the village when she gets a sharp spasm of pain. She hopes it wasn't a contraction. A few minutes later and she feels a wetness. Her water had broken.

"OH no!" Udonna says as she tries to stand. She sends a message to Leanbow.

A few minutes later and Daggeron, Leanbow, Niella and Talia arrive.

"Leanbow, she's coming," Udonna tells her husband.

"But she's early," he says.

It didn't matter. A few hours later and her arms were filled with her daughter. They named her: Athena.

FLASHBACK ENDED:

I realise that that was when I was born.

"Over the first few months of your life we realise that you were the baby in the prophecy," mum says. "So your father the man he is cast all the protection spells and everything he could to protect you."

"Our telepathy," dad says smiling. "That was something we could do from when you were a baby. You would laugh when you could hear my voice in your head. But then after the darkness came we knew to protect you we would have to send you away to safety."

"And you both know the rest," Udonna says referring to the last time we sat down and talked like this.

Dad got up and walked over to dad T.

"I just want to thank you for looking after my little girl all these years," he says holding his hand out in front of him.

Dad T stands and shakes his hand. "It has been my pleasure."

*Keeper of the powers*

A few hours later and we are all sat down. Dad T is sharing some photos of me growing up to my parents and brother. I notice Daggeron is nowhere to be seen.

"I'm just going to check on Daggeron," I tell them.

I find him looking at a picture of Leanne's mum. Taylor.

"Daggeron?" I say and he looks up.

"Where did you get this?" He asks.

"It's my adopted sister Leanne's mum," I ask. "Why?"

"Because she is also my wife Talia," he says in shock. "Which makes your adopted sister my long lost daughter."

"What?" I say but I am not the only one.

Leanne had just been coming out of the bathroom and had heard everything.

"That's not true," she says and she has tears in her eyes. "My father was Darren Hogan."

He shakes his head and makes a move towards her but she moves back.

"Leanne, calm down," I say and then I turn to Daggeron. "You want to start explaining?"

We are now back on the sofa and Daggeron is sat opposite Leanne. "I was married before the great war...

FLASHBACK:

Daggeron is sat with his wife enjoying the sun. He has his hands on her stomach.

"I cannot to wait to meet our little girl," he says kissing her on the cheek.

A few day later and the great war had begun. Udonna was packing Bowen a suitcase and Talia was packing her own.

"I will not let our daughter be born into darkness Daggeron," She says to her husband. "Udonna has asked me to take Bowen and then she will send for him. She's also asked you to take Athena."

Daggeron nods his head with tears in his eyes.

"I will come back to you,"...

FLASHBACK ENDED:

Leanne was finally looking at Daggeron.

"So why didn't you?" She asks calmly.

"Because I was cursed," he explains and he takes her hands. "But there hasn't been a day gone by when I didn't think about you and your mother Leanne. After the curse was broke I didn't want to put you in jeopardy by looking for you."

Leanne is quiet for so long.

"I understand," she says and then she smiles. "Can I learn magic like Courtney?"

He laughs but nods. Dad T is happy for both of us.

At the end of the night I am talking to dad T.

"So what's this I hear about you and a girl?" I ask.

"Oh you mean Amy?" He asks. "Yeah we are dating. I'll invite her around to meet you soon."

And all was good. All magic and no evil.
