Cannot believe how well this story is coming. Please review and tell me what you think.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

We've all been called to Rootcore. I wonder why.

"Oh come on Daggeron," Chip says being impatient. "You can tell us. What's this meeting about?"

"I'm in the dark as much as you guys about this meeting," Daggeron says and I wonder why mum would want us all here. Daggeron walks over to the entrance with the sack he has. "Come on Fireheart! Come and get your oats!"

He throws the bag of oats outside to where the dragon is waiting. Flames come from the direction making us all jump a little.

"He likes his oats toasted," Daggeron says pointing behind him at Fireheart. We all chuckle.

Mom begins to walk down the stairs and addresses us.

"I'm glad you all could make it," she says and I decide to voice my worries.

"Is everything all right?" I ask and I see that Bowen also looks a little concerned for our mother.

"Yes... and no," I frown at the way she says this. "Clare you have been a wonderful apprentice. You'll make an amazing sorceress. Daggeron, I am so happy you have come back into my life. Vida, Chip, Xander, Maddison, You have far exceeded any expectation I had of you when we began this Journey."

Me and Bowen share a glance as she walks over to the both of us.

"Bowen, my son, you are the man I always wanted you to be," she says and then she walks over to me and I am beginning to guess why she called us here. "Athena, Courtney, my daughter. You have grown into the woman I always hoped you would be."

I cannot keep quite any longer so I speak up.

"What's going on?" I ask her as she takes my hands. "You're leaving?"

She nods her head.

"I am," she says and my frown deepens. "Somewhere out there is my husband, Leanbow. I'm going to find him and bring him home."

"We'll go with you," Vida says as me and Bowen both stare at her.

"No, you're needed here," she says to Vida in a no nonsense tone. "This is something I must do alone."

Udonna smiled one last time at me and Bowen and then began to walk away. I don't care what she says there is two people I can send with her without causing any problems to my team.

"Azantys, meet me and Clare outside in five minutes."

"Yes Courtney."

I go outside with the two.

"Clare, Azantys I need you two to go with mum," I say and Clare looks a little shocked. "I cannot loose her Clare. Like she said we need the others with the team. You two are the only ones I can trust with this type of job please."

They both nod and me and Clare cast a spell so that her and Azantys can communicate.

*Keeper of the powers*

We are back at work and me and Bowen are both in a very worried mood. What if something happens to mum? I have only just found her. Bowen comes over.

"You ok?" He asks gently.

"Just worried," I answer and he pulls me in for a side hug.

"Mum can take care of herself," he says and then smiles. "Don't worry... little sister."
