Flame's For One's Rights

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Jester wouldn't let anyone look at the book as we all sat in the living room. Proteus frown as he watched his son closely.

"I knew he would be a god, but I didn't think his godly powers would come until he was 15. It seems he was born with them which is strange." Proteus look towards the other masters knowing just what it sounded like.

Geb snort, "He can't be, there is 6 of us and none has died or anything. Besides we weren't born we were created by the creators when time started."

"Maybe but this could mean something to why everything is happening." Agni look at them, "Think about it, if the gifts are right, a war is coming, one we can't stop because it is foretold by prophecies we don't even all have."

Raven look to the paper he had keep when Jester was born. "Jester was born with this... No one has been able to read it."

Agni move to look at it and narrow his eyes, "I have seen this writing style before. When I meet with the Master of Light and Skies. It is how they write. But only the master's know it. If I was to think only one of them would be able to read it."

"Or you can just let someone else do it." Jester spoke, he was showing his true colors not the child act he has played since we first meet. "Yes, you are getting close to figuring me out, but not completely because it isn't time yet. As I have told Rabbie, it isn't time yet. If you know then so will he."

I look to see that we had no shadowed areas in the room, but I could still tell the shadows were everywhere. "He is right, we are never safe from the shadows. If they truly are after me because of my child, then we must find the one place they can't go."

Nitesh frown, "Where would that be? They reach almost everywhere."

"Almost everything, is the point. Have you ever seen a shadow fly?" Raven asked looking towards his lover. Proteus frown, "Yes my master, we have to find the gift of sky next. But we must move without the shadows knowing what we are really doing. How to find him, I am not too sure."

Jester looked to the book on his lap before his eyes look at me. Was I supposed to know something? A chill went up my spine when I heard a loud banging sound.

Agni move to my side fast along with Lyulf, "It's okay Rabbie. It is just thunder."

Raven and Nitesh look between each other frowning, "Why is he so scared of thunder?"

Agni look at me with sadness in his eyes before to the other two gifts, "Each gift is someone reborn from a passed life. I cannot say who y'all were before but Rabbie was a small boy once enslaved by Geb people."

Geb glared at Agni, "I didn't know until you killed a lot of them and I put an end to it."

The Master of Fire still didn't seem happy over it as he turn back to the other two gifts, "He was only 7 when he came to me knowing that his punishment for running from his master wouldn't be anything nice. He begged me to find a way to free the fire creators from their slavery. I was already trying to, I brushed off the small comment he made about being reborn for me. I didn't know that when he was returning he was killed by the guards of the town his master lived in. during his torture it was storming outside badly, as if the creators were crying for him. I found him died in the rainy morning mist."

Raven nod slowly, "So it is something that passed from his old life, he is terrified of the thunder because it brings storms and it reminds his soul of the day it died before?"

Nitesh bit his lip tears at his eyes as he sniffled, "That's so sad... I just want everyone to be loved and treated right..."

"That would be because you were a snake Geb once cared for and died from an illness." Jester said softly as he turns to his mother, "You were a prince killed by the humans before they went to seal away Proteus. You begged to be by his side to show him he wasn't alone anymore."

Everyone sat in silence for a bit letting everything settle. We didn't know what to say to this all. It was not some story you could just say the knight saves the princess. Our lives had turn from being something normal to a crazy tornado of mystery that we couldn't even seem to understand anymore.

A child who was born a god, boys who were made from past people who once wanted something for their master and is now connected to each other through many ways then just selves. A shadow man running around trying to cause the end of the world.

'It can't get any worse.' I thought as I looked around at everyone's faces.

Maybe I shouldn't have thought that because I am sure fates will throw something to hurt us. I tensed up when a scream could be heard from outside. We got up, Agni refused to let me down. He carried me to the door where we saw Lyulf fire burning in the storm outside. But who stood near shocked me.

Why was Raiden standing in front of Lyulf protecting him? And why were his eyes glowing? What was going on?

A shadow moves to try and attack Lyulf, we see he was hurt but we couldn't tell where. A chill went down my back when I heard the shadows voice inside my head.

"Try saving your twin when he is pregnant with our master's child." I felt my eyes go to Lyulf who looked just as horrified as I felt.

Lyulf couldn't be? Right? But then again, he wasn't me, his body couldn't stop from having someone else's child. Nitesh ran out first towards Lyulf trying to help him up.

Geb move to protect his gift and push Raiden out of the way as he fought the shadow that just seem to laugh at us. I watch in shock when Lyulf was brought inside, he looks pale and blood was all over his pants.

My brother had been raped and I didn't even know what to do to help him.
