Merlow Magic

Helpless moods

*Thirteen*

Moving quietly through the forest i continued twords the lake, going over everything that had happened today, it was way past dark, i could tell it was around midnight, we would have to leave soon and i would have to send Emi and Sage to the Diner for everyone's dinner tonight, even though Nico and his fellow elves don't eat much meat i knew they would love it.

Plus i didn't feel like seeing Diana again, so i quickly opened the link "Killian take Emi and Sage to the diner for the food, i don't want to go, and send my regards"

I didn't wait for a reply, i just closed the link clasping my hands in front of me as i finally saw the lake, Kazi had his back to me, he was hunched over the edge staring down at the pool of clear blue water.

Walking up behind him i rested my right hand on his shoulder as i peered into the lake water, looking at my devilish red hair framing my face in wild waves.

My eyes switched to his reflection, his face looked worn with dark bags under his eyes, and i could see whatever bothering him was really taking its toll, even on this angel "Kazi im not one hundred percent sure why you're upset, but i do know it has to do with Emi, im here, so please talk to me"

He turned to face me making my hand fall off his shoulder as he looked up at me, "Im scared Arden, shes so young..." he trailed off not being able to finish.

I took off my shoes, rolling my pants up to my knees as i sat down next to him, my feet slid into the water causing ripples to momentarily blur our reflections "Kazi, i trust you with her, i know you will make the right choices"

His hazel gaze dropped to his lap "there's still the chance she wont grow up to love me, she would think of me as a brother, or worse a father figure"

I snorted very unladylike "Kazi she is ten going on twenty, she understands things a lot different then most kids her age, plus shes a witch who is going to have a lot of empath powers, i think she already knows your different to her, she just doesn't know the exact way"

"You haven't told her about mates yet" he said more as a statement then a question.

I shook my head "Nope, im not to sure how to start that conversation, i know shes smart and all, but no way does that mean im ready for her to be"

He let out a soft chuckle wich had me smiling in victory "i still cant get over how weird you are, but if something does happen Arden, and i lose control you need to be the one to stop me"

My smile vanished "dont talk like that, besides we are both overprotective im sure I'd go into attack mode before you"

He looked up at me "Hmm your probably right on that part, but enough of this downer talk, when do we plan on moving and what's gonna happen after that?"

"Well I'll be doing it in about an hour, i think im gonna let snow in, but i will limit it to the outer forest so that anyone who doesn't want it cold can be fine" i had literally just thought of that idea i liked it!

"Just as long as no one stands on the border so half of their body is cold and the others what we consider the" he raised his hands doing quotation marks "perfect temperature"

I shook my head "oh please if i wasn't so nice to everyone, it would be raining almost everyday, i love rainy weather"

He rolled his eyes at me "im sure the kids would love it but the grown-ups wont let them play in the rain"

"Wait we are getting off track damn, so after a few hours of sleep i say around eight me, Sage, Lana, Killian, Rory, and Emi, will leave and check out the town, since we will have the girls it shouldn't be to suspicious, plus i know i can take care of them" i said swirling my feet in the water.

With a slight frown at my words he replied "i wish i could go with, but its for the best, and Killian is the one male who is a strong fighter, i wouldn't want to send a young cat to help try when they are not done training"

I nodded my head "oh that reminds me, my friends Rory, Kai and their mom Rosie are here, and guess what"

He just looked at me with a 'what' expression.

"Kai and Rory are apparently dragons, their father died before Rory was born"

He looked at me his eyes were a little wide "you mean Jarry Feris has kids??"

I blinked in shock "yea, do you know who he was?"

He nodded his head "Everyone knew who he was, the last great dragon shifter, he was an ancient, even higher then the council one of the oldest supernaturals to ever walk this earth, he has a great legacy that grew when he met your mother two hundred years ago, imagine a powerful dragon with the the most powerful witches by his side, as friends of course, but they where close, of course your mother would keep his children hidden as best as she could"

At the mention of my mom and a little about her past had my reaching up a little to play with my necklace "Witches stop the aging process around twenty, so mom had to of been over three hundred, just over middle age to supernaturals, so who are the ancient?"

"Yes the normal life expectancy is around five hundred, thats one reason why none of us reproduce as fast, who would need to when you live so long, anyway the council is made up of what most believe to be the oldest of each supernatural representative, but not every supernatural species has a place on the council, only the Vampires, werewolfs, Elves, Nymphs and dwarfs have a seat there. Then there are some like banshees, sirens, fallen, Demons, witches, other wereshifters, ect... that we either dont want them to know still exist or there are so few left they are considered no threat." Finally he stopped talking.

I huffed "Ok i know this your supposed to tell me more about the so called ancients that are higher then the council"

He looked a little guilty "Oh yea, now there is said to be two left, they are some of the first supernaturals ever made, they are around a thousand years old, only a few close to them know who they really are, they are powerful but honestly like i said before, Aslana witches will forever be the most powerful beings to walk this earth, the ancients are not stronger then you, they may come a close second, thats why you have Merlow as your last name and no one besides us really know your an Aslana, but im only nine thousand years old, very young compared to my brother Michael and some others, so i dont know much"

I rolled my eyes "yea sure, i totally believe you" i leaned back on my arms swaying my feet in the water one last time before i pulled them out, i didint care that they were wet, i wanted them to be so i left them alone and stood up "lets go Kazi, on the way there link everyone and make sure only us eight are there, oh and tell them to decide if the want Rosie to stay or not"

"Alright" he muttered softly, as we walked into the trees heading back twords the group of crazy supernaturals.
