Chapter Twenty-seven:

I ran a hand through my hair and grimace at the amount of sweat it was covered in. I shook my head lightly and dried it on the leg of my pants before returning to my work. The heat of the room was almost unbearable, but I ignored it out of practice. The metal within the fire fluctuated and rose like a snake. I reached forward and began to shape it. I was thankful for the heat seals and scales that decorated my hands at that exact moment. If they weren't in place, I would have lost both my hands from the heat of the flames. With a hiss, the metal snake allowed itself to be molded into the form I desired. I took a deep breath before calling the twins over. They were covered in sweat and were looking at me in shock. I grinned at them and instruct them, "Place both your hands over the fire. Fill your minds with the images of the one you love, direct your magic into the ring with that on your mind."

They did as I asked and magic flowed into the metal snake. I allowed their combined magic to influence my work. A pair of garnets, a pair of rubies, and a single rose shaped diamond appeared and sank into the metal. I watched in awe as the ring took it's true form. It was a slim thing with lions and jackals engraved onto the metal. The top of the ring had one jackal and one lion roaring or howling at each other. The garnets were settled into the eyes of the lions while the rubies were in the eyes of the jackals. In the space between the two, the rose shaped diamond rested though it was no longer a rose. A book shape had formed and the words forever ours was written within the center of the book in gold. I gathered some of the fire around my hands before quickly walking over to the pool of water in the center of the room. I dunked my hands into the water and dismissed the flames as the twins panted. With a jerk of my head, they moved away and stopped pouring their magic into the ring. I smiled at them as I held the cooling ring within the pool. Fred spoke up from his place on my right, "Does this mean we're done?"

"Yes," I murmur softly, "You both should go and get something to eat. I'll be up in a little. I need to make the box for this thing,"

"Thank you," George said as Fred nodded and the two left.

I watched them go before bringing the newly cooled ring. I took a deep breath before grabbing a cloth to clean the water from it and placed it on the small stand on my workbench. I began the slow process of crafting a ring box. It was a rather easy thing to do if you did something simple, but I never like simple. I began to create intricate carvings of the three's animagus forms and made sure the box had a red velvet interior with the same. In the end, it took over three hours of consistent work, but it was worth it. I bit back a yawn and placed the ring inside of the box before walking upstairs. The door to my forge shut behind me and I could feel the hum of the seals activate as I walked away. I headed up the stairs of the basement level and came out on top with a yawn. I decided to walk around the castle and passed many a portrait before pausing in front of one that made me sigh. A woman with auburn hair and silvery yellow eyes standing with a group of silver garbed girls. She held a bow in hand and a wolf stood at her side proudly. I sighed softly before shaking my head, "Artemis...What would you do if you knew I was here? Would you come to take me away? Or would you stay and smile at seeing me happy?" I shook my head again as a bitter smile appeared on my lips, "It doesn't matter does it? You won't find out until everything is almost over with most likely."

"Perhaps if you revealed yourself, you would already know the answer to that question," A male voice murmured causing me to spin around.

My eyes widen at the sight of the giant man standing there. Feathered wings of black and white were curled across his back. Golden eyes that held eternal peace and wisdom. Hair the color of the night sky. Dark mocha skin on one side and deathly pale skin on the other. A stygian iron held between two vastly diffrent hands. One a normal human hand and the other merely shaped like a hand. It looked like the mutated offspring of a beasts paw and human skeletons hand. I whispered his name softly, "Thanatos."

"Kaileara," He tipped his head in greeting.

"What brings you here?" I ask with a slight tilt of the head, "You do not usually leave the Underworld unless someone has died."

"Hecate has told Hestia, Eris, and I everything," He answered causing me to hum, "I was the only one able to get away without anyone realizing,"

"You do go out a lot to lead many to the Underworld when they die a peaceful death," I sighed softly before looking at the portrait, "Why did Zeus send those three demigods?"

"They were the best he could find," Thanatos answered, "They are the sons and daughter of the Big three,"

"He wishes to see if I can be controlled," I say what we were both thinking, "It makes sense since he was never able to control me in my past life. He's going to try and control a new soul who knows nothing of the gods," I sneer in disgust at the very thought of it, "He is a fool if he thinks I would allow myself to be controlled by the likes of him,"

"I know," He answered, "I've come to see you to ask that you make sure those three make it out of their mission alive. They've been through much and have saved the world,"

"I will, but I need a few questions of mine to be answered," I promise causing him to nod, "What happened to Zoe? I know that the girl is now Artemis's lieutenant, but I wish to know why,"

"She died on a quest," I froze at that, "She along with another hunter lost her life,"

"Zoe..." I murmur softly as my eyes went to the girl standing with Artemis, "I must go to the Underworld one of these days and speak with her,"

"Her spirit lies not within the Underworld, but in the sky," My eyes widen before softening as I nodded.

"She deserves nothing less," I close my eyes, "What of my Mother? How did she deal with the loss of Zoe?"

"After she gained a new Lieutenant, she and her hunters left olympus to travel by the coast," He answered causing me to breath a sigh, "The olympians have discovered that the lines are breaking. It scares them and many like Poseidon are preparing for war,"

"Poseidon and any other sea gods will find themselves usurped," I smirk darkly at the thought, "The ancient spirit of the sea will not allow her domain to be challenged. Poseidon will find himself under the rule of Thalassa,"

"You find no problem in that?" He asked causing me to shake my head.

"Thalassa is the only sea spirit and a being as ancient as the earth," I murmur softly, "She is many things, but weak she is not. She favors none for her children can never step within her borders without help," I look at Thanatos, "It is time for you to go. Zeus will most likely start investigating since you've been in the same place for over 30 minutes without a war going on,"

He chuckled softly, "Be careful then."

I nod and watched as he disappeared. With a sigh, I resumed my walk towards the dining hall. I was greeted with the scent of Sanji's cooking which had my stomach roaring at the thought. I gave a nod to the the Founder that had accompanied the twins and I to the island. It had been one of the rules the Founders laid down when I asked if I could bring two or three of my Nakama home with me. Salazar smiled at me before noticing the box, "Where did you get that?"

"I made it and the item inside of it," I answer as I took a seat across from him, "It belongs to the twins or at least it will for only a short time before it is passed on,"

"May I?" He asked and I shrugged before handing it over, "Very well made though why lions, jackals, and...I do not recognize the species of the last animal,"

"Mist cat," I say as I grabbed a roll as Mipsy gave me a cup of wine, "They are symbols for my Nakama,"

"Animagus?" He asked causing me to nod, "Interesting that they've become animagus before leaving school,"

"I put them through hell when I was training them, so why not add animagus to the list of magic I was to teach them," I shrug lightly before popping a piece of roll into my mouth, "It is best if they have an alternate form to fight with if they need it,"

"Very true," He agreed prompting me to ask one of the questions that had been bothering me.

"Salazar?" I ask causing him to hum, "Why is the sigil of the snake house a snake? You are a leopard animagus, no?"

"I'm surprised you caught that," He said causing me to chuckle.

"I've learned to be observant when it comes to such things," I took a sip of wine, "So why a snake?"

"While leopards are cunning, I thought it would be better for a snake sigil," He answered with a slightly smug look, "My partner is after all very serpentine in nature,"

"Very true," I couldn't argue with that, "Have you been enjoying your time here?"

"I will admit that after the initial shock of meeting actual pirates," I let out a soft chuckle causing him to give me a small glare, but all I did was grin at him unrepentantly, "You could have mentioned that before we left,"

"And leave out the surprise?" I mock-gasp as I placed a hand over my heart, "You insult me for saying such a thing," I shook my head with a small grin, "It is best that the information is not spread around until we are ready. You may tell the other Founders, but please do not tell anyone else,"

"I will not," He promised and I hummed as Sanji brought out food.

"Thanks Sanji!" I grin at the sight of ramen.

"You're welcome Kai-Chan!" He had hearts in his eyes.

I watched as he walked away before digging into my ramen. I finished it quickly and gave my dining partner a smile, "I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here."

I left without another word and made my way towards the twins and Hermione's rooms. I knock on the door and Fred opened it. I handed him the ring box causing him to grin, "Thanks Kai!"

"No problem," I wave him off, "I'm going to take a shower before I go exploring. If anyone needs me, tell them I'm investigating something,"

"Sure," The jackal-like boy agreed before heading back into his room.

I made my way up to my room and entered with a sigh as I took off my clothes. Kiyo looked up from her place on my desk with a book propped up in front of her, "You're oozing heat."

"I would think so since I've spent most of the day in the forge," I reply and walked towards the bathroom, "I'm going to take a light shower before heading out,"

"Where are we going?" Yukina asked as she walked inside.

"To see those Twilight Eagles," I answer as I hopped into the shower.

I only stayed in long enough to bathe before quickly getting out, drying off, and pulling on some loose clothing. With that, I headed into my room and grabbed a few scrolls before heading towards the balcony. Kiyo hopped onto my shoulder with Yukina walking by my side. With a deep breath, I merged with Kiyo before shifting into my phoenix form. Yukina followed me by shifting into her hawk form. She took off and said, "I'll lead you to them. Why do you want to see them so much?"

"To see if a friend of mine is there," I answer with a soft sigh.

"What do you mean?" She asked as we winded our way towards the large mountain on the northern end of the island.

"In my first life, I was good friends with a Twilight Eagle name Star," I answer as I relished in the feeling of the wind in my feathers and cutting through the sky, "We were very close, but one day she left her home to discover the city in the clouds,"

"City in the clouds?" Yukina asked, "Like Sky islands?"

I shook my head lightly, "No. The city in the clouds is the home of all creatures that originated in the sky. It is said that the spirits air can be reached there," I sighed deeply in my chest, "It was the only place that the beings of the sky could go to without Zeus trying to control them."

"What happened to her?" I sighed again as my mind went to the long days and nights I waited for her.

"She never returned," I pushed the memories back, "She broke her promise to me,"

"You wish to see if she is there if only to find out why she broke the promise," I nod as a sad trill left me, "We'll see if we can't find her then!"

I wanted to smile, but due to being a bird I couldn't. I settled for trilling in happiness and flying faster. Yukina let out a laugh and led the way. We soon reached the top of the mountain and I felt the breath in my chest almost freeze. Large eagles flew, roosted, and hunted in various places in a small valley. I spotted a few unicorns and such, but my eyes were on the eagles. Their feathers were the same brown and white you usually saw, but that was only on the top of their bodies. On the bottom side, they had feathers the color of twilight with small diamond-like patterns that made it look like they were stars. Twilight Eagles were said to have been created by the spirits of the sky to be beacons of light during the darkest of days. They were creatures of war and peace for their guiding lights would shine upon anyone who needed a guide. Be it for peace or for war, they would guide any who needed it. One of the eagles spotted us and flew towards us, "What are you doing here?"

"We're looking for a Twilight Eagle by the name of Star," I answer causing the eagle to still for a few seconds.

"Why would you be looking for her?" The eagle asked in suspicion.

"She is an old friend of mine," I answer causing it to look at me in further suspicion, "Is she here?"

"What is your name?" He demanded rather than answering me.

"Kaileara. Kaileara Ashferd," I answer with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Land," He demanded and my eyes narrowed further, "I need to confirm something,"

With narrowed eyes, I landed on the branch of a tree with Yukina. We watched as the eagle flew off and Yukina asked, "Why did we listen to him?"

"It's the best way to find her," I answer as a few unicorns moved towards us out of curiosity, "I really want to know why she didn't keep her promise,"

Yukina was silent for a little while before nodding, "I guess that's a good reason."

I snort and allowed myself to jump off of the tree branch. I landed on a rock and one of the unicorns came close. I trilled at it and it neighed at me. It was just wordless communication telling of nothing, but music. It was the pleasant thing that came with talking with magical creatures. I paused when the eagle from before flew towards us. I said goodbye before returning to my place next to Yukina. The eagle landed on the branch next to me and asked, "What is the name of the forest that you met Star in?"

"It was the forest of storms," I answer, "In the northern most point of greece,"

"Follow me," He said and took off.

Yukina and I followed him through the valley before flying into a hole in the wall of a cliff. It became cold and very damp causing confusion to fill me. Star didn't like the cold very much, so why would she be in a place like this. The answer came faster than expected as heat began to build in the walls. I smelt the scent of sulfur and almost snickered. Hot-springs! Of course Star would find a place filled to the brim with natural heat. Yukina asked the eagle, "How much longer?"

"We're not that far off," He answered as he ducked under a large overhanging of rocks, "Elder Star is within the chamber of viewing,"

"Chamber of viewing?" Yukina asked and I answered instead of the eagle though he looked at me in surprise.

"It is common among Twilight Eagles to have a chamber to view the future with," I answer as I moved easily to avoid a large stalagmite, "It is to help them find people to guide even if it's under the glamour of a wise woman or wise man," I looked at the eagle, "She's gained the sight?"

"Yes," He answered, "She studied many years under the masters in the City,"

"How did she live this long?" Yukina asked causing me to chuckle slightly.

"Twilight Eagles can live for many, many years. I believe that the oldest one was a millennia old before she died," I look at my partner with slight amusement, "Do you not remember the history lesson we got during our apprenticeship with Master Valkyrie?"

"I kinda tuned it out because I was thinking about dinner," She looked away from me causing me to make an odd chuckling-trill combo, "Don't laugh!"

I snort, but left off my teasing as the Eagle spoke up, "We're here."

I took a look around us and found a few giant twilight eagles moving slowly. I saw a few nests as well, but my eyes was on the large doorway covered in ancient runes. I shifted into my human form and Yukina returned to her wolf form as Kiyo demerged from me. I gave the eagle a nod, "Thank you."

"Go in quickly," Was all he said.

I nodded and walked inside. I entered a tunnel and stretched out my energy silently as I moved forward. Yukina huddled close to me as large crystals seemed to surround us and I felt a bit of sympathy for my partner. After the crystal temple incident back during my two year travels with Law, she had never enjoyed going into tight spaces covered with crystals. I couldn't blame her because I still had nightmares of that place. I held back a shudder and took comfort in having both Kiyo and Yukina with me. I shook off the feeling as I felt the life force of a single being in a large circular room ahead of us. It was ancient, but then again all beings who were alive during my first life would be. I felt some amusement, but also sadness at the thought since the world would not remember the war that took so many both mortal and divine. I shook myself as we reached the entrance of the chamber and Yukina summed up all our thoughts, "Well fuck this place is huge!"

I snort in amusement as I gazed around the room. Bluish white crystals gutted from the walls and covered the ground in a smooth arc around a large pool of water. Heat came billowing out of the pool in waves, but I ignored it as I spotted the largest Twilight Eagle I had seen so far. Even if her feathers had turned grey and her twilight sky washed out, her eyes hadn't changed. They still held the same glimmer of determination in the yellow/amber coloring. I moved forward as those eyes fell on me and felt tears gather in my eyes. For the first time in a long time, I allowed them to fall as I murmured, "Star..."

"Yes my dearest friend," She cooed in a whispery voice coated heavily with age, "Come to me and allow me to see you. My eyes are not what they used to be,"

I gave a watery giggle and walked towards her. Yukina and Kiyo stayed back as if to give us some privacy. It filled me with pride over that, but for now I would ignore it as I reached her. I spoke softly as I stared into her great big eyes, "You've grown so big and old. Makes me wonder if those wings are still good enough to lose."

"I'll beat your ass in flying anyday of the year," She retorted causing me to chuckle, "You've been reborn my friend and I can see the pain is still there, but it is less so,"

"Always so keen to go to my feelings," I murmur and wrap my arms around her neck before feeling her wings surround me, "Why did you never return?"

"I wanted to return, but my duties as a seer took prominence," She replied and I looked up at her, "I did return, but you were gone. I searched for you and only found out about your participation in the war by the eagle that was there. He told me of what you did during and at the end," She sighed deeply in her chest, "I'm sorry that I wasn't by your side to guide you,"

"It would have ended the same," I murmur as I tried to keep strong, "I was a forbidden child; when the war ended, I would have been killed since I would never bow down to Zeus," I looked at the ground, "I was too big a threat to allow life. Zeus was afraid that I would betray Olympus, but I would never do something like that. I had gained too many friends among the demigods and gods that I couldn't do it,"

"Such is the burden of those with great destinies," Star intoned causing me to give a hollow laugh, "You've become both filled with life, yet so tired. I've seen your life my friend and many times it hasn't been pretty,"

"No it hasn't, but from those nasty spots I gained my Nakama," I look up at her, "You're life is at an end isn't it?"

"Aye," She bobbed her head silently, "I have lived to see many an empire fall and seen the beginning of ones that have yet to form," She looked down at me in sadness, "I've see what happened with Dumbledore and Voldemort," Her gaze brightened like a million falling stars, "I've seen what will happen when the lines between the worlds fall. It will bring so many things. I wish I could experience it," She sighed wistfully, "But alas, my time is at an end,"

"So this is goodbye?" I ask causing her to shake her head, "What are you planning old friend?"

She moved away from me and walked over to one of the crystal formations. I watched as she picked up a bundle and walked over to me. I held out my arms and she laid it in my arms. She spoke softly, "Even in death, I shall be with you."

My eyes widen and I opened the bundle only to gasp. A large eagles egg with the constellations of the night sky sat innocently in my arms. I blink at it for a few minutes before asking, "Why?"

"I trust only you to look out for a new species of Eagle," She answer with amusement in her eyes, "When my time truly comes, my essence shall come to the egg and I will be born once more. I will remember you," She nuzzled my cheek, "I will become a Night Eagle. One of the rarest for so very few are willing to become one," She looked at me with serious eyes, "Protect me with your life and we will be reunited,"

"I will," I promise her and she nuzzled me, "It's time for me to go isn't it?"

"Aye," She said while moving away to look into the pool, "Your brothers wish to play a game,"

I snicker and nod, "Till we meet again."

"Till we meet again," She replied while pulling three feathers out and handing them to me, "Talk to the egg and I shall hear you,"

I nodded and moved away. I placed the feathers within the bundle before putting it into the bag on my back. I gave her one last glance before leaving. Kiyo jumped onto my shoulder as Yukina followed close behind. We said goodbye to the eagles before returning to our avian forms and leaving. It was on the journey home that Yukina spoke, "She seemed nice, yet..."

"Off?" I supply causing her to give me a slight nod, "Seers are like that due to the stress the sight puts on their minds and bodies. Luna and I lucked out when it comes to our powers as Wanderers since we aren't confronted by it everyday,"

"Will you share your memories of your first life with us?" She asked causing me to trill softly.

"I will since you are my closest friends and confidants," I promise as I looked back at her, "Not even Law is as close to me as you guys. Our bond is diffrent from my bond with him,"

"Of course it is," Yukina let out a small laughing sound, "So...Are you happy now?"

"I feel at peace mostly," I look forward once more as my mind went to the bundle held securely in my bag, "I think peace in ones heart is better than happiness sometimes,"

"Oh...Good," I slowed slightly so that I was flying next to her.

"Yukina. I am happy, but this brought me some semblance of peace that I needed," I assure her, "You and everyone else make me happy,"

She looked at me and I knew that she would be smiling if she could, "Good," She looked forward, "Race ya back to our room."

She took off and I stare after her before chuckling. I flew after her and began to trill happily. It was nice to have something from my first life with me other than my white elk horn bow and my memories. I may wonder what the future will bring, but with the past by my side...Perhaps I shouldn't fear it. I had my nakama with me and they make me strong. My past only makes me stronger and more able to protect them. I felt determination fill me at the very thought and vowed to get even stronger. I vowed to enjoy the time I had with them all...Even the jackass Eustass Kid!

Well End of chapter. Streaks of the moon will be up within the next three days with Racing through the Darkness following it by three days or less!

Omake: Meeting with coffee and rain

I sat in my favorite coffee shop and sighed softly. The sky was a dark grey as rain poured down from the heavens. I loved it when it rained since it always made drinking coffee better. I heard the bell on top of the door ring and almost smile upon seeing another person walk in, but I couldn't laugh at their wet state since they weren't soaked. I pouted at the sight of the umbrella and turn away uninterested as I looked back down at my sketch pad. I heard a small cough and look up only to almost blush. Stormy grey eyes, black jacket, odd white hat, and tan skin. I gave him a raised eyebrow and ask, "May I help you?"

"Is this seat taken?" He asked while gesturing to the one across from me.

"Nope," I say while slightly surprised since no one usually sat there.

I return my gaze to my sketch pad and returned to drawing the scene outside. I however paused when the man spoke, "I was surprised to see someone like you in a place like this."

I snort at the cheesy line, "Well it's only place in the whole damn city that offers good coffee."

"No doubt about that," He said causing me to snort.

"Let me guess you're new in the city and tried all the others?" I ask causing him to grimace.

"Most of them," I gave him a look of sympathy since I went through the same thing, "I only came here on the recommendation of a friend of mine and because I was desperate for a good cup,"

"Let me guess, that friend drinks a lot?" He gave me a raised eyebrow, "Same thing happened to me only after I went through every other coffee shop," I grimace at the memory, "The only other good one is on 3rd street and that's only because of their cakes,"

"I've to agree on that statement," He said causing me to chuckle before his eyes went to my drawing, "You're an artist?"

"Jack of all trades that drabbles in the arts for the most part," I correct him before sighing, "Not that many people will ever see 'um,"

"Why's that?" He asked before adding, "May I?"

"Sure," I agree and hand my sketch pad over, "Just don't mess with the drawings," I then sighed, "Most see me only for either my odd hair and eyes, or the fact that I'm good at repairing odd things. No one ever thinks I would be good at art due to the fact I mostly get repair jobs,"

"These are really good," He commented, "What other jobs do you do?"

"I help out in a nearby clinic sometimes, I act as a delivery person other times, and sometimes I just work on writing articles for the newspaper," I shrug, "Or bartend. I'm pretty good at making margaritas,"

"Wide range," He commented causing me to snort.

"My family is known for that," I shrug slightly, "Both my adoptive and blood family," I gave him a slightly amused look, "What about you?"

"I'm a doctor and a tattoo artist," He answered and handed me my book back, "Those are pretty good,"

"You have to have a good eye for art if you're a tattoo artist," I say while fighting back a blush over that compliment, "Thanks for the compliment,"

"Ever wanted to work in a tattoo parlour?" He asked causing me to sigh softly, "What's wrong?"

"I would love to work in one, but anytime I try they send me away," I look down at my drawings with a sigh.

"Why?" I gave him a look as I stood up and put my sketch pad in my bag.

"Best if you don't ask questions you won't like the answer to," I say before giving a nod to the owner of the shop, "See you later,"

"Wait what's your name?" He asked causing me to pause at the door.

"They call me the Lunar Divide," I answer and began to make my way out of the shop, "Try not to spend too much time thinking about me Trafalgar. It isn't good for you,"

I left the shop and began to head down the sidewalk when he called out to me, "How do you know my name?!"

I smirk and turn slightly to look at him. A deep shiver filled me as rain spilled across my skin and soaked me completely to the bone as the crowd parted slightly. I stood at the opening of an alley and shook my head, "The grey eyes say it all. Try not to look too much into me. It'll only cause trouble for you."

With that, I turn and head down the alley. I make it to the other end and just out of sight as he made it to the mouth of the alley. What is it with that man? His sister was right when it came to him asking questions. Hopefully she was wrong about the driven part of him. I wouldn't want to deal with another dying because of me. I look up at the sky as lightning flashed over head and the words of an old friend came to me, "In this city, we earn names for ourselves. Once we do that, everyone around us is in danger. Names here are death sentences and only the truly knowledgeable will know. Do not forget that...This is the city of Death after all."

End of Omake

Tell me what you thought of it. It is the first part in a multi part mini-series inspired by a friend of mine.
