Eternally Yours

The Old King

"Is that a (your care giver's favorite flower)?" Lily and Jasonpaused turning to you. The two had taken to exploring the garden withyou. They loved finding out what you liked in the garden and had evenstarted using pots to grow a few of the more favored plants in thebalcony so you could always see them.

"Do you like that flower, love?" Jason asked and you shook yourhead.

"No, well yes-I like it, it's just it is (caregiver)'s favoriteflower. (He/she) raised me." You explained giving a sigh, youmissed (her/him) so much. You missed (seeing/calling) them.

"I'm sorry Name...it'll just be a little bit longer." Jasonassured pulling you to his chest, "then whether you choose to stayor go you can go see them." He assured and you smiled looking athim with wide eyes.

"Really?" You asked and Lily chuckled and pulled you against herchest.

"Yes, really. You wouldn't have to give up anything to be with us."She assured and sighed, "of course you'd be immortal so one daythey'd..." she trailed off, "but as long as they agree not tokick up a ruckus asking questions." Lily assured and grimaced, "forobvious reasons we can't have people knowing we are here but..."What she said made sense and you could understand that.

"We'd never take your family away from you Name, the connection tofamily is a important thing. We can still remember when our motherwas killed." Jason sighed, "The time with your family isprecious."

You froze up still having the (flower) in your hand, he said killed.Killed not just died; their father probably died then by theDraught of Death when they grew older. They didn't say that so whoreally knows? I wouldn't ask, of course, but I could be there forthem.

"Name?" Jason sounded...worried? Was that the emotion in hisvoice? It was hard to tell, it could be or it could be somethingslightly different. You pulled away from the flower and turned tothem and reached over to take one of their hands in each of yours.Lily echoed her brother confused on what you were doing and youanswered it with a squeeze to both their hands.

"I won't ask what happened, but if either of you ever want to talk,well...I'm here for you." You promised and they both grinnedpulling you tightly to them two of them making a Name Sandwich.

"Oh you are just too sweet Name!" Lily cooed happily and strokedyour (hair length) locks as Jason squeezed you extra tight, yet stillwas obviously being careful not to be too tight. You could feel hisarms tremble to hold back.

It was later on, after dinner and you each took a turn bathing andputting on pajamas that they brought it up. Leading you over to thecouch they set you down, Jason pulling you into his lap and Lilytugging your torso so that your head rest against her shoulder.

"Thank you Name, we haven't talked about this for many years. Wehave told you and we know how we have to do it." Jason explaineddrawing imaginary patterns on your waist.

"Yes, we can do a spell where we'll tell the entire story to youbut we won't be able to react. We will be kind of in a trance."Lily explained playing with your hair and kissed your forehead. "It'sokay though, you'll be perfectly safe." Lily assured while Jasonleaned over to kiss you. Neither did anything until you nodded, andthen both chanted together in that language you had only heard oncebefore, when they told you their names before telling you the Englishversion of their names.
