Abditory

(n.)a place into which you can disappear, a hiding place.

ACELINE

So, my mom is a shape-shifting pure spirit thingy. She isn't human anymore apparently.

I think Agnar is jealous.

"I am so sorry my love, I should never have left you alone," she said. "I had to leave to protect you, they were after me."

Yeah, she should never have left me.

"What caused your anger, Helen?" Caelum asked my mom.

"huh?"

"yeah, you were destroying the city. . remember?"

"Oh that wasn't anger, I was excited actually. I couldn't control myself when I sensed my daughter around. I haven't seen her in 20 years. All those years of pent up emotions burst out.

"Who is after you mom? I can't lose you again ."

"They are bad, bad people. they know nothing of good. They know you are here. I am sorry I have to go but remember, I love you."

She then burst into flames. Leaving behind gold sparkles.

"Your mother was a warrior Aceline. Don't worry she will come back once the time is right. Once we defeat her." Caelum reassured.

"Defeat your sister?" my voice came out raspy. I can't lose hope, not now.

"Guys Helen left something for us." Caspian held a floating paper in his hand.

"Guys, there is something written on it," all of us huddled around it.



When the day comes, the flowers stop blooming.

The winds howl warnings to you.

Thirst for survival shall bring forth the end of good.



"So, are we going to die or what?"
