Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 45

Estelle decided to read one of her books to Magenta. Magenta was beginning to like the book Estelle was reading to her and then noticed a different book and went over to it to see what kind of book it was. Leo was in Akito's room bored until he noticed a book and went to it to see what the book was.

"What is it, girl?" Estelle noticed Magenta wandering off.

Magenta seemed to have found a spell book and wanted to read it. Leo had found a spell book as well and had tried to reach it and tried to see if he could read the book. Estelle took the book and decided to sit with her Fuzz-Z to take a closer look at it. Magenta seemed like she really wanted Estelle to open the book.

"Hm..." Estelle grew curious, she sat down next to Magenta and opened the book. "Seems cryptic..."

Akito came into his room in time for him to see Leo about to fall with a book from a podium. His eyes widened and he rushed to save both his pet and the book as he zipped in to their rescue and where he was able to save both Leo and his book.

"You okay?" Akito asked his pet.

Leo smiled to him.

Akito smiled back, then looked to the book. "Say, what's this?" He then decided to open the book to see that it was a book of spells.

The words on the page seemed to glow into his eyes. The same went for the ones on a page of Estelle's spell book as it seemed to glow into her eyes.

There were ancient prayers heard into Akito's and Estelle's minds and they were taken into darkness together with blue and purple lights shining on them.

"Hello?" Akito called, his voice echoed.

"Akito, what're you doing here?" Estelle asked her brother.

"I could ask you the same thing..." Akito was just as confused as she was.

"Do not worry..." a familiar, yet mystifying voice told them. "You two are merely undergoing an epiphany."

"I think that means someone find out the truth." Estelle said.

"Actually, an epiphany is sudden realization..." the voice came closer, showing that it was a familiar old face from Nome, Alaska.

"Ingrid..." the twins whispered, surprised to see her.

"How do you always find us?" Akito asked. "Are you some kind of spiritual guide?"

"I suppose you could say that." Ingrid replied, stoic and serious as always for her age.

"Cool." Estelle said.

"Anyway, what's happening?" Akito asked.

"You guys are now discovering something about yourselves you have just now discovered, like your merpeople abilities..." Ingrid told them. "Akito and Estelle Fudo, you two are Wiccans."

"Just like Atticus and cousin Thorn?" Akito asked.

"Yes," Ingrid informed. "Your powers are limited as you are not a witch or warlock due to having Wiccan blood on your father's side of the family, but you are able to read spells and summon witches and warlocks from the books, which could cost you dearly should you do such a thing."

"Why?" Estelle asked. "What could happen?"

"The Ravencroft family could happen." Ingrid warned them.

"The Ravencroft family?" the twins asked.

"A very evil family..." Ingrid took out seeds, planted them and there came a fire crackling image that appeared before them to show the adventures Cherry and Atticus had in Oakhaven against Ben and Sarah Ravencroft. "A family who's bloodline only precedes in evil and selfish desires... Their mission was to rule and destroy the world with their evil magic."

"Oh, my..." Estelle said.

"Where is this Ben Ravencroft now then?" Akito asked.

"He was last locked away in Sarah's spell book." Ingrid informed.

"And where is the spell book?" Estelle asked.

"Your Aunt Cherry had it last." Ingrid reported to show Cherry taking the spell book before a burning branch would destroy it forever.

"It must still be in that secret room of hers." Estelle said.

"Secret room?" Ingrid asked them.

"Aunt Cherry has this room where she keeps things from her adventures with Mom, Dad, and other people," Akito explained. "I think she has the book in there."

"Yeah," Estelle agreed to confirm that. "She doesn't let anyone touch it though."

"And a good thing too." Ingrid said.

"Are we going to be in any danger involving the book?" Akito asked.

"I cannot reveal as of now, I apologize." Ingrid reported.

"We understand." The twins said in unison.

"Good..." Ingrid nodded to them. "I have missed you two a lot since you left after Aleu joined her own pack."

"We have missed you too, Ingrid." Akito said.

"I am sure we'll meet again soon." Ingrid soothed.

"Yeah." Estelle said.

Ingrid backed up in the darkness, leaving them alone in the dark again.

"Okay, now what?" Estelle asked.

"Now, my friends, it is time to awaken." Ingrid's voice told them.

Akito and Estelle blinked and they were back in the Loonatics tower, but still had the spell books in hand. Leo and Magenta jumped up to them, worried about their owners. Akito and Estelle rubbed their heads, then held their Fuzz-Z's.

"That was really crazy..." Estelle said. "But... I guess we're Wiccans now."

"Wow, I guess we're Wiccans now." Akito said.

Akito's door then opened to show Estelle.

"Wasn't that crazy?" Estelle walked into his room.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that at all..." Akito was shocked.

Leo and Magenta asked if their owners were okay and looked rather worried.

"Are you two okay?" Leo asked.

"Yeah, we're fine, no worries." Estelle assured.

"Yeah, we just had an epiphany." Akito explained.

"What's that?" Magenta asked.

"Sudden realization," Akito replied. "We found out that we are Wiccans like Dad."

"Awesome! What are Wiccans?" Leo asked.

"Kinda like witches, only kinder and more natural." Akito explained what he knew.

"Cool." Leo said.

"I guess..." Estelle wasn't sure how to feel.

"Don't worry, sis, this won't change who we are." Akito said.

"I hope you're right." Estelle gave him a small smile.

"I know so." Akito said.

Estelle smiled and gave him a hug. Akito did the same and where this was a siblings moment that neither of them wanted to be interrupted or ruined. The twins were close and they valued every time they could spend together, because they might change after they grow up and start their own individual lives. Rev was outside Akito's door, hiding, so he could see the sibling moment the twins were having and wished that him and his younger brother had moments like that more, even before the meteor hit. Leo and Magenta even smiled at the sight. After a while, the twins separated from the hug and decided to get started on reading the spell books. Leo and Magenta then joined their owners. It was a pretty slow time for Akito until the next mission, but once the next mission came, it was so extreme that they even ended up on the news.
