seat on the throne

SAPPHIRE POV

Waking up from my dream I have no words. I do not know what’s going to happen in the future of the ones I love or the future of humanity. Ivy came to me in a dream to warn me of the choices that will need to be made. And the fact that people around me will die. And that I have a place now on a throne with the council.

Sapphire you’ve done something that no other mortal on the middle plane Earth has been able to do. You took no detours on the prophecy for the first time since the beginning of the war with Silas. Each sapphire holder either sacrificed themselves, would not bring the child into battle, or ran from the destiny. You ran straight into yours a beautiful, fearless, feat. I want to apologize for seeming as if I didn’t want to help I could not. This had to be done by only the sapphire holder.” She says to me and I’m still confused on how this is a dream but not quite a dream.

“What is it that I’m supposed to do Ivy?” I ask. “In each of the three plains there is a council of people who hold a special powerful position. Never before has a witch has a place on a throne because the prophecy has never been fulfilled. You will now be the first. You will be given secrets, and powers that you could never have imagined were real.  You have now been appointed to oversee the witches for your plain Earth. But be warned my dear. Not everyone is happy with this decision. Some people do not want to have change and even fewer to share power.” She finishes.

I don’t know whether to be honored or scared at what she is offering me. But as always I decide to accept my destiny and become who it is I’m supposed to be. But I have one question lingering in my head. “What of my son and future nephew?  What is their path and will Cassie’s baby truly be evil?” she just smiles at me and says “I knew you would accept your fate and ask a selfless question. A true leader indeed. Your son will need guidance because his destiny is even more power and complicated than yours. But he still has time now to enjoy his childhood. I don’t see his fate coming into play yet. But your nephew’s destiny remains to be seen. Only he can decide what path he must take and what kind of man he shall be.” She pats me on the shoulder and I wake up.

It all seemed as if she was right next to me. I guess that’s one of the things I will now have to get used to. Sitting on the secret council of thrones is something I did not expect. But I have her words that I need to watch who I trust lingering in my mind. And I will take those words with me when it is time for me to join.  Also the fact that my son will have even more of this world to endure and my nephew whose future could go either way. The thought of that child growing into something evil shakes me to my core. What will we have to do if that evil sets its sights on us?.........

SIREN POV

Alaric hasn’t spoken to me in days. He’s even more closed off than he was before. I found out when the sisters aunt, that can see and speak to unborn human life came by to check on me and Cassie’s baby that we are having a little girl. Or should I say I am having a little girl. Alaric just looked at me after he found out and said “after this one is born we shall try or another immediately. You can name and raise the girl. I am waiting for my dragon son.” And walked out of the room. I held my belly and cried, for myself, and my daughter who will never know her father’s love. But the sisters are my source of strength and they will always be with me. Alaric had agreed to stay here for now. But we have found our own home close by the property. He has just informed me that he will be gone and may even miss the birth of our first born. He is going to be crowned king of the dragons on this plain. As he is the oldest one here on Earth. He doesn’t even say good bye properly to me just huffs and leaves. I’m starting to realize and become ok with the fact that he will never love me. And our mate bond has weakened. Coupled with the fact we have not been intimate with each other since we came from the underworld its weak. I’ve decided to go back to my kingdom and let everyone know my story. Alaric won’t need me so I say good bye to the sisters and head off on my trip.

Standing at the shores edge of the beach I feel invigorated. The open water is where I’m at peace. I haven’t been in an ocean since I was taken years ago. Walking until I am waist deep I feel my legs start to tingle. The transformation to my aquatic self is going to begin soon. I take another couple of steps and close my eyes. I will my fin to start to form. And then I dive under. My gills begin to expand and I am now in my full mermaid form. I forgot just how beautiful my tail was. Lavender and coral are the colors that make me a royal mermaid princess. Only members of the royal court and throne have some purple in their fin. It takes about two hours of swimming to get to the palace but I don’t mind. I’ve not swam for years. I have to now swim onto a shore that has been made. It is similar to actual land but this one has some buildings completely under water and some not. When I’m in front of the palace I change back into my land legs and quickly run to the tree we hide spare clothes in. And bathing suit bottom and top are just fine.

Walking into the ballroom I see my mother and father sitting at their throne. And it’s like I’ve been holding in a cry and I exploded. Before I could even get to them I’m on my knees breaking down. My father rushes to me and begins holding and rocking me. but my mother is frozen in her place. I can imagine that it is a shock to see me when I’m sure they believed me dead. “Mama please come to me” I say to her. And with slow moving foot step she moves towards me. Lifting my face up with her hands she asks “this is not a dream is it child. You are real. My baby is home?” that’s last part is more of a question. And just nod my head. We all three sit on the floor crying for the next hour. Finally after my parents get me dresses into my proper princess attire the interrogate me. My father is livid. I tell them only parts of things that have happened because they feel guilty enough.

They decide to hold a royal party in my honor and all in the kingdom are invited. Getting dressed in a beautiful long, off the shoulder coral gown I stand and look at myself in the mirror. My long red hair cascading down my back I am a princess again. My mother comes in and places y crown back on my head and says “I prayed for you every night. And right now I want you to know how much I love you.” Kissing my cheek we walk to my father and if the ballroom hand in hand.

The night turns out to be one of the best nights of my life. I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and I’m facing the man I was to marry. The one who still holds a part of my heart. Nickolas......
