Chapter 33: Reunion/Visiting Brother

We finally made it to my old home. I brought the baby and all the kids came including Arion. WE got out and the butlers all came out to help us with our luggage. Luckily we weren't that far from the door and my brother was on his way here when Aria saw him and started running to him. "Iken! Iken!" "Its Lycan honey." "Oh jeeze when is she going to learn." I said. "Oh come on she's only 1 year old and 6 months. Shes got a way to go." "Yeah I know. Hey brother can you get Roxy to the Family room for us? I want her to be ready to see him." "Yes of course butler Dong could you do that please?" "Yes your majesty." "Thank you." So when we were ready to go in she was waiting for us. "OK you 3. You can either come with us or do your own thing for now." "Oh we are definitely coming. This is awesome." Said Adrian.

When we got to the door we all stopped. "Are you ok Koda?" "Yeah let me take a breath for a minute." He took a deep breath let it out and knocked. Then they stood in front of Koda and I said, "Ok Roxy. I want to give you your birthday present before the other presents is that ok?" "Sure its ok." "OK then I have a question for you if your brother was here now what would you say to him?" "Well I would say I'm happy he was alive and I missed him. Of course I would punch him first for loosing me. then I would hug him and tell him I missed him." "OK then. Well now is your chance." "What? What do you mean?" We all moved and she was shocked. "Bro….Brother? It can't be?" Then I saw her running over to him and she punched him in the shoulder and yelled at him like she said and squeezed him to tell him she missed him. "Ok sister. I can't breathe." "Oh sorry. I'm glad your alive. This is the best present ever. Thankyou. Thankyou." Then she went to hug him again. "Happy birthday sis." "Thank you big brother." I have a couple of things to tell you. Number one is I got the tattoo. Talia Is my permanent owner." He turned around to show her. "I have one too." She showed her shoulder. "Ok we will leave you two alone for a bit to catch up. We will do our own thing for a bit ok?" "Sure thanks everyone." After they left Koda told her about the dream Talia had and that their parent's might still be alive. She was shocked and he told her that Talia was willing to go with him. That they would ask emerald if he would go as well. "I'll ask her I'm sure its not a problem." "Ok well we will be leaving the next day after we return. So we can get some rest and be energetic to find out." "Ok lets go right now." "Ok lets."

They found the Queen. Then they bowed. "Your Majesty may we speak with you?" "Of course. Lets go to the parlor room." So we wen and we told her the situation. "Yes of course I will go. Lycan and I are going to have business there soon no better time." "Thank you. Your majesty." Then they left and hung out.

"Hey kiddo's. I missed you all." "Auntie Talia!" The girls ran over to me. "Hello Rose and Iris. How are you both doing?" "We are doing good." Said Iris. "That's good." "Hello boys." "Hi Aunt Talia. where's uncle Jay?" said the older twin Winter. "Oh he is probably outback with the baby. You girls can go see her if you want?" "Yes lets do that. Come on Rose." "I'm coming no need to drag me." "Oh and the other kids are out roaming around somewhere if you want to know." "oh Kida came? I'll go find her. Iris you can play with Aria I'll go look for Kida." "OK fine be that way." Then she stuck her tongue out and looked for her. "Ah the good old days."

"Hello Jay." "Oh Talia come on over. Koda and his sister and playing with Aria isn't that cute." "Yeah it sure is. Hey Jay do you miss your mom and dad?" "Sometimes yes. I wish I could visit them and see them again. But you are the only one who can besides Arson. I have to rely on you. Sorry." "Hehe its fine they are really nice people." "Well its almost party time shall we go?" "Yes lets call the kids." "OK you 3 time for the party to begin!" Yelled Jay. Roxy held Aria and they ran over.

We finally got to the Dinning room. We sang happy birthday and they blew out their candles like normal then we washed up to play games before we did presents. We had everyone play games that the little one can play for now. Then later it was time for presents. I made a scarf for Koda he said he would always wear and I made Roxy a flower crown from the forrest. They of course thanked me and said that them meeting up was the best one but they thanked us for our gifts anyway. I spent time with my nieces, Nephews and brother. I mostly spend time with emerald but we had 6 more days at the castle. I could spend some with my brother. Finally my little girl was tired so Jay took her to lay down. "Ko Ko." Said Aries fighting her sleep. "OK I will go get Ko Ko OK? Stay in your bed." Jay went to go get Koda and told him that Aria wanted him. He brough Roxy with him.

"Hello little one. Its time for a nap." "Ko Ko Play?" "I'll tell you what after you go to sleep and wake up Ko Ko and Roxy will play with you oK?" "Ko Ko stay." "Ok I will stay until you fall asleep." Not long after she feel asleep then they left to go back to the party.

"Oh Arion. I forgot to ask you. I haven't seen Elsa in awhile how is she?" Then he stopped smiling. "I see she was a nice friend. How did it happen?" "Lets talk about it later this is a happy day." "Yeah your right." So we smiled and had a lot of fun. Eventually Aria woke up and played some more then finally it was closer to bed time.

I was called to my brothers office. So I escorted and announced. Then I saw Arion with him. "I assume you know why I called you here?" "Yes brother. Arion was going to tell me about how Elsa died." "Yes I will leave you two to it." "Thank you brother." "Its all my fault mom. She tried to protect me." "OK I understand but what happened?" "Ok so I was just going on a normal stroll then out of nowhere someone tried to attack me. I turned around and saw Elsa was already shot down. I of course fought them off. I tried to heal her but I couldn't mom. I'm so sorry." "Its ok Arion. Its not your fault. I was the one that told her to protect you. She did her duty for me. she must have flown out of no where and blocked whatever was going to hit you. Do you still have whatever it is that killed her?" "Yes I gave it to uncle Lycan in this jar." He got the jar down and showed me the jar. "This is….Are you sure that is what killed her?" "Yes why do you recognize it?" "Yes I do. Looks like I'm going to have to pay someone a visit. It won't be a happy one. I'll need Koda to go with me. I'll need you to stay here with brother. How long ago did she die?" "Why is that important?" "Just tell me!" "OK it was about a month ago why?" "So it was that soon. OK thank you. I may have to leave some where before we go home. I need to find Lycan and fast." "Mom what's wrong?" "These people weren't after you. They were going to hurt you to get to me. They are going after the people important to me. They are going after my kids first. I need you to stay with you brother and sisters ok? I'm sure dad will go with me. Plus Lycan will send a few knights with me as well. Go Hurry!" "Yes mom will do." So he ran out to his little sisters room and found his siblings to tell them what is up.

I went out not looking so good and asked where the King was. They told me and I went to find him and did. "Brother something happened. I had Arion protect the kids. It happened a month ago when Elsa died. She was protecting Arion when she was killed. They tried to hurt him to get to me. I have to leave tonight. I will need to bring Koda with me." "Ok I will give you some knights as well." I figured you would. I don't Jay to come with me but if he insists let him. Also if anything happens to me and Jay watch the kids for us ok?" "I will do my best but you are strong even if it did you will survive it." "Thanks brother now hurry and get them. I'll find Koda."

He left to get his knights then he went to find Jay. I on the other hand found Koda and told him what was going on. He agreed to go with me to protect me. Ha. I came here to spend time and have fun with my brother but then something had to happen. I said to myself.

I met the knights at the door. We all got on our horses and Koda rode with me. Since I knew where to go I led the way. Luckily I was a good fighter and shot. I changed into my battle clothes before I left.

Somewhere else there was a man keeping a lookout for the princess. Then he finally spotted her coming. He ran to tell his boss that she was coming. She had knights and a fox with her. "Ok thanks for letting me know."

Finally we made it. "Ok since I am reason we are here I will make the plan. I'm sure they know all of you are here by now. I will take Koda in with me. I will gave a signal if I need you. You will know when the time comes. They won't hurt me at least until they get information out of me. If you don't hear from me don't worry I'm fine." "Yes your highness." "OK watch the horse for us. Go out and hide."

I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Ok lets go. I haven't gone here in awhile. It was before I met you." "I figured as much." "Ok you will listen to what I have to say in there and don't go running off on your own got it. Its for your own protection." "Ok I got it." "I hope so. Oh and you will be my bodyguard and butler got it?" "Yes Your highness." "What did I tell you about that?" "Ok OK joking Talia." "Ok this is no time to joke lets go in." "Yes."

We went in the special gate I announced myself they opened it and let us both through. Of course we got some stares. Then finally we went through the door and I told him who we were here to see.

I was escorted to the mans office and went in with Koda. "I'm here what do you want Mr. Hawk." "Haha you knew it was me huh?" "I'd know the arrow anywhere. You killed my friend who was protecting my Godson. If you wanted me all you had to do was send word." "Woah now I didn't order anyone to do anything they did that on their own. They were doing that for your own good to get you here." "What exactly is it that you want from me?" "First of all who is this brat with you?" "My guard and butler. His name is Koda." "Hmm he looks familiar. Could he be the son of Neve and Asher?" "Yes I happen to be. How do you know my parents?" "Haha aren't you cute. I guess you were a little boy after all so you don't remember. I was your father's old master. I was the one that almost killed them that is why he void the pact and left me a scar." He showed his arm. "What do you mean almost? So its true they are alive?" "Well I don't know anymore its been years since I have seen them. I won' t hurt you so go on out I need to talk to Talia in private." Koda looked at me and I nodded. "Don't hurt her." "I wont calm your jets."

"Like I said. I didn't order anyone to go after your boy. There is another who has a similar arrow to mine. He works for me. Give me a minute and I will call him over." He poked his head out and had someone get him. "Ok now while we are waiting I want to tell you that the arrow is similar not identical. There is one difference in it." He took out one of his arrows and one of the culprits. "Here look at these arrows. Don't worry they aren't laced with poison." I took the arrows and looked closer. "It's a different color. It looked black but its really dark blue. Also not only that the shape is slightly different. I'm sorry for doubting you." "Its fine it He whappens all the time. As for what happened years ago when Koda was little, I wasn't myself. I was also forced to do that. I forced him to remove the pact so he could live." "Is that what really happened?" "If you happen to see Asher again tell him I'm sorry." "Hmm I will." "If he is alive I will send word and have them come see you since I know its dangerous." "Thanks."

Finally the man came and was shocked I was there. He seemed to have recognized me from somewhere before he met me again. "Hello so are you the one who shot at my son and killed my best friend?" He nodded. "Can't you talk?" He shook his head no. The Hawk explained. "He can't talk because of an incident back then. Is it ok if I tell her?" He nodded yes. "Ok then. His name is Damian. When he was in his teens there was a little girl he saved. She was not much older than him she was a couple years younger. She was shot down from somewhere and she was lucky to live through it. Normally she would have been dead if they hadn't Kept her warm." "Do you happen to know that girls name?" "He forgot. Let me continue. I don't' think its not that he can't talk its that he refuses too. He had gotten hurt in that incident as well trying to save the girl." "Is this true Damian?" He nodded. "He was thinking that you resembled the girl he saved and wanted to know if you were her." "Well I don't know how long ago did this happen?" Well he is 40 Now and you are 38 you are the right age. You would have been 16 he was 18. He had been dong stuff on his own for 2 years." Then I thought about it. "Damian do you know how to write? If you do can you tell me what happened and about when it exactly happened?" He got a pen and paper and wrote. I waited patiently.
