The Prophesy

CHAPTER 13: TESIFA MEDUSA CEPHAS

" Well let's just say you're dad's dominant " Queen Aliyra giggled like a school girl.
"Eeeeeww. Groooossss" All three boys covered their ears while making kissy noises.
Their parents tried to muster stern looks but failed miserably as they both dissolved into fits of laughter.
"On a serious note, Aderphos" Jason said " Just take a good look at her. She looks exactly like our father, our tails are green and silver but hers is green and gold like his tail".
"She's my daughter after all" King Evan said proudly and carried her from Jason's arms" And the first and only girl".
"Know what? I'm naming her Tesifa Medusa" Ivan announced
"Hmmm. Hope, I like that. But why the name of our ancestor Medusa" Queen Ali asked.
"Well. She kinda reminds me of her, especially her hair. It's in locks"
"Okay. Tesifa Medusa Cephas it is then"
"I like the sound of that"
They all loved it. Meanwhile, little Tesifa was waving her tiny arms around happily and they all zoned in on the five glowing tattoos on her right and left hands from her elbow down to her fingers.
They were in vibrant colours of red, gray, brown, white and blue
They all gathered around her again and she giggled happily, basking at being the center of attention.
She happily waved her tiny fists in their direction and they were all shocked at what followed
Jason's tail caught fire
Nathan was smacked into the wall by a gale  of wind
Rocks started falling on Ivan's head
And their parents burst out laughing at the scene
Tesifa giggled too, delighted with what she had just done
Jason was wriggling and squirming around trying to get the fire off his tail thinking he was going to burn to death.
Nathan was growing in the heap where he landed
Ivan was swimming around the room trying to find shelter from the falling rocks
Tesifa waved her fists at them again and a spurt of water put out the fire in Jason's tail
A gale carried Nathan and set him on the bed beside his mother and a huge tree grew over where Ivan was hiding to shield him from the falling rocks which soon stopped falling.
"Wow" Ivan exclaimed " What is she ?"he asked dumbstruck
"A prodigy like her father" The king smirked proudly
"Get over yourself, Vee" Queen Aliyra said playfully
Lookin at her hands again, Jason realized something " The tattoos on her hands have meanings" he said in an awed whisper " They mean her powers. Red is fire, Gray is stone, Brown is earth, White is wind, and Blue is----"
"Water" everyone finished for him
"Thalassa!!!" Ivan said amazed "She's way different from us. Our powers are only limited to the Water and Stone elements. But she can literally control all five elements. Thalassa!!" He exclaimed again.
"But she obviously doesn't know how to control them yet seeing what just happened to us "Nathan said grinning wryly
"Wait a second "Ivan snapped his fingers as if trying to recall something. He faced his father"How come she didn't do anything to you " he asked accusingly
"Well, it's because she lives me already, or don't you little Tesifa?" He asked talking to his tiny daughter and she smiled, wriggling her little tail
"See, that's a yes" King Evan laughed " Besides , I know what can help keep her powers on a leash till she's old enough to differentiate between right and wrong"
King Evan went to the inbuilt topaz pentagon on the floor in the middle of the room. He placed a hand on it and splayed his fingers and they glowed green as he closed his eyes and muttered "Ouvrem".
And intricately carved sapphire box popped up and into his waiting hands .
Turning towards his curious wife and children, he opened the box and brought out a glittering emerald necklace.
"Whoa" Jason whistled long and low
"What's that?" Nathan and Ivan asked
"Yes, Vee. What's that? I can practically feel the power rolling if it in waves"
"It's a heirloom. Eight wonder of the world" King Evan announced proudly " And yes, it's very powerful".
