By The Light of Lightening: History Revisited

By: M14Mouse

Summary: Chip shares…Vida listens…and Brightstar watches over them both

History isn't about revisiting the past…it is writing the future.-Unknown.

"Tell me about them," Vida said as she leaned her head on Chip's shoulder.

Chip grinned slightly and looked over his shoulder. They were riding Brightstar. Brightstar still didn't like Vee without him around. Probably, she kept calling him weird unicorn names. Vee had that effect on people…and animals.

"You aren't going to fall asleep again?" He said with a smile.

"Me? Never. Beside, Baldy was boring. He was some poet or something."

"He was a scholar. His name was Ballwin."

"Whatever. Tell me someone more interesting. Hey, were there any women knights?"

"Actually, there were three. Zaria, Catalina, and Diane. Zaria was a noblewoman before her lands were burned and ran sacked by the Master. Diana was an elf. Catalina is sort of mystery…There was a line saying that she was an orphan."

"So, Ballwin was a terrible scholar."

"Actually, I think that Catalina came after his time. I am still reading through it all. There is hundreds years worth of history to read through. And I am kind of skipping parts."

She laughed on his shoulder.

"You are reading the spoilers…just like your comic books."

"Hey! I wasn't look for spoilers. I was actually looking stuff about the Mystics."

"We are the Mystics, Chip," She said with a sigh.

"No…the ones before us. Daggeron and Undonna don't really talk about them. I was curious. I haven't found much in this book but I did find some things about them in a journal."

"Who does the journal belong too?"

"Doesn't say. It belongs to a woman."

"Hmm…who do you think that she is?"

"I was thinking it was a soldier. Undonna said that toward the end of the war…a lot of troops started to gather around Rootcore. It was too uncommon to have men and woman work together during the war especially in the later parts of the war."

"Hmmm…"

He laughed and rolled his shoulder to wake her up.

"I am awake!"

"No, you aren't!"

She stuck out her tongue at him.

"Tell me what she wrote."

He pulled out of the journal out of his jacket. He flipped open to page that he bookmarked. He coughed for a moment before he started to read.

The Green Mystic came to us today. Dirty…and looked like he had a tumble in the woods. Now, that I think about it. It quite possible he did. His saint is one from the earth. I can't image that he would pick a boy that was so tiny. Maybe, it is a growing thing. The poor thing looked liked a trapped rat. It didn't help that one of my brothers made some insane joke about rabbits and a lion. He looked terrified at the sight of us. It took Undonna a solid hour to take the boy into coming inside.

Now…we just have to wait for the rest.

"Tiny? Really? I can't wait to tell Xander that. Does he have a name?" Vida said with a laugh.

"Halder and she thought that he had a crush on her."

"Ohh…sounds juicy. Continue."

Halder is hiding behind the bushes again. I found his stalking to be adorable. He even left me a flower. I love gifts. So, I put it in my hair. Partly, I think that he is lonely. The others will be coming soon. My brothers are running around like rabbits. They are insisting that they should have been here by now.

I am not too worried. They will come when they are meant too.

"So…what else she said about the others?"

"Actually, I am cross-referencing right now. Halder was mentioned in some other books. Halder was a farmer before becoming a Mystic. He said that dreams guided him. He was also the one that grew Rootcore. Well…partly…it was his idea but he did the ground work. I am just trying to gather all of them into one book."

"And the pink Mystic?"

"Her name was Malaya. She was a traveler before she became a Mystic. She talked about teaching her different spells and taking her to the mountains for training. But I am not done yet."

She looked a bit thought for a moment before speaking.

"Chip, the scholar."

He smiled a little bit at her. She smiled back.

"No…Chip, the knight."
