Cyrus POV:

          I was stirring from the realm of Morpheus, and I could hear voices that I couldn't recognize, well except one. It was the voice I heard shortly after waking up from the petrification. The voice was young and feminine but also calming I could tell I was at least safe here from that voice. 

          "I'm sure we can find your dad, King." she said. I was rolled over so couldn't see them when I opened my eyes. 

          I heard a nasally voice respond to her. "Weh, You really think so!" I heard a small ruckus I assume he had jumped down from somewhere. 

          "King it will probably take a while to find him," an older feminine voice said. I stopped paying to much attention after what I heard from the king guy, the sound weh. 

          I knew that sound. It ringed alarms in my head and I felt it deep in myself as well. Then I remembered back when I was adventuring to try and find Father's last egg. I had come across an island that I was certain I saw Titans on. I went down to investigate, they welcomed me and I met with there leader where we talked for a while and I learned that they weren't Titans. No this Island was populated by people that helped kill off the species Titan trappers. I got out of there pretty fast none of them were the wiser. One of the things their leader had told me was that a titans awful cry nearly blew his eardrums completely, he described the cry as a sound, weh.   

          My eyes widened when it finally dawned on me. I spun around on the couch I was on immediatly and quickly picked up the small thing in the room that I just knew made the noise. "Επιτέλους σε βρήκα αδερφέ," I said (Brother I finally found you) 

          "He's finally awake!" the feminine voice from earlier said. 

          "What was that that he said?" The older voice asked. 

          "Why is he hugging King like Luz when she first got here?" a different older feminine voice said.

          "I have a question Why did you call me brother?!" King said shoving against my face a tad trying to get away. 

          "Wait he called you brother?" Luz asked. 

          "You understand what he said?" The first older voice said. 

          "Brother you two look nothing alike?!" the second older voice said. 

          "Well this isn't his real appearance, Eda." Luz said. 

          "Oh for the sake of it all," I said loosening my grip on King, he squirmed out and ran behind Luz's leg. "I am his half brother, Eda." 

          "Half-Brother?" she questioned. "How is that possible?" 

          "Yeah we don't even know what kind of demon King is?" the other older woman said. 

          "Please, we aren't normal demons" I said. "Heck I didn't even start out like this." 

          "If you aren't normal demons then what are you?" Luz asked. 

          I looked around for a moment. "Sorry I can't really tell you that at the moment," I said looking around me. 

          "What do you mean?" the women I don't know the name of yet asked. 

          "Not sure I can trust all of you yet," I said. "I know I can probably trust Luz for reasons I will explain later, but I don't know the others yet."

          "I am Eda the Owl Lady," Eda said. 

          "I am Lilith her sister," The now named Lilith said. 

          "I am King and Eda practically raised me," My half brother said. 

          "Let me see your staffs," I said looking them over. They both had traits that were ringing alarm bells in my head. They both passed me their staffs and I examined them finally I found the marking I was looking for a cursive C. "You both are Clawthornes?" 

          "What, how did you know that?!" Lilith asked. 

          "I knew based on the burn on your staffs here," I said handing back the staffs. "Either you bought the staffs from a Clawthorne carver or you are Clawthorne your selves. Me being an old family friend I recognized the family traits in the both of you." 

          "What do you mean by an old family friend?" Eda asked me. 

          I walked over and grabbed my staff, "What I mean is around 400 years ago I was practically part of the family." I showed them Khrys. "Your family took care of me shortly after I was reborn, Jacob helped me learn my magic abilities and when I was ready helped me carve him." 

          "How can we know you are telling the truth?" Lilith asked. 

          "Is your great great Grand Mother's name Gwynevere?" I asked her. 

          "Yes I believe so." She responded. 

          "The last time your family saw me was the funeral," I said with shaky breath. "Gwyn, was like a sister to me and well the last thing I remember from that day was comforting a little girl with brown hair who reminded me of her." 

          "That was probably our mom," Eda said, I nodded. 

          "Now you want proof that I am King's brother?" I asked, they all nodded. "Okay then," I stepped back and created a circle on the floor around my body. I slammed my staff down on the ground activating the spell. It rose up around me revealing my true form to those who hadn't seen it.  

          "Do you all believe me now?" I asked, they all nodded in amazement

          "Do you all believe me now?" I asked, they all nodded in amazement. 

          "So if your King's half brother do you know where his dad is?" Luz asked. 

          "Technically I do know where he is," I said scratching the back of my head. "But we can not currently reach him." 

          "Why, not?" Eda asked. 

          "He is very far from here at the moment." I bluffed, I didn't want to ruin King's day after he just met me. 

          "What was that language you spoke in earlier?" Lilith asked me. 

          "It is the language of our people," I said. "I believe that Humans once used it as well, in the ancient past far before I was born." 

          "Ancient past," Luz thought for a moment then her eyes widened and looked almost like the glowed. "Were you speaking in Greek?" 

          "Maybe," I said. "Father always just called it the ancient tongue."
