Included in the Family Tree!!!

Maya as promised came to visit Helen within a couple of months. Helen felt elated to see her first assistant turned disciple. She stayed there for more than 10 days before she left to the Solaris town reluctantly,. Promising Helen to come and meet he as soon as she gets time. She had even discussed with Helen about shifing to Green town and start working with her again.

Helen was extatic and agreed without even thinking about it for a second. " This time girl, you will be a healing master not my assistant. " Helen said proudly.

"But master....." Before Maya coud protest or say anything, Helen cut her off. " If its ok then your are welcome. If not then, I am affraid I don't need any assistant. " Helen smiled and patted Maya's head affectionately.

Maya left their estate, tear's of happiness still visible in her eyes.

Six months flew by like a dream.....

Lilly and Irene were becoming good at healing. Rose was learning healing arts at a much faster pace than the others had anticipated.

Their combat training was also going well. John and James sometimes joined them in their training, while the ladies of the house watched them.

John who was almost 85 yesrs by that time was still a force to be reckoned with. His flexibility, strength and stamina amazed not only the ladies but even the girls who became a fan of him. Now they began to understand why he was called one of the best adventurer of his time.

On a warm night during their dinner, Alan suddenly addressed Lilly and Irene...

"Lilly, Irene, you are getting closer and closer to invoke your mana. I believe it should happen within a couple of years. We will start some breathing techniques and meditation to help improve your mana quality and strengthen your core."

At Alan's words both were extatic and were literally jumping happily in their seats. And the adults were also happy for the girls.

Six more months went by and also birth days came and went.

Rose was escorted by all of them to the Winden city to join the academy. That year.

Heathrow's held a huge feast for all the kids who came back after an year. After having scrumptious meal, everyon went to the reading room and sat down talking.

Few minutes into their conversation, Ben noticed something on the grand tapestry on the large wall. He got up, went towards the wall and started inspecting it.

He stood like a statue, and even after a minutes, there was no movement or response from him. Curious the other boys, who also noticed this came to inspect it.

The shock that they got from watching it tied their tongue and they also became like statues.

Observing this the Heathrow's smiled.

In the tapestry was the family tree of the Heathrow's. Almost at the bottom the tapestry, names of all six boys were woven in a golden thread.

They knew that their names were already included on Morgan family tree. Which was a Book of records maintained safely by the head of the family.

They knew that the Heathrow's had considered them also a part of their family, but never had they imagined something like this!!!

It was mentioned as,....

Alan 1st son of Andrew and Elena.

Williams 2nd son

Dave 3rd son

Chris 4th son

Ben 5th son and

Bob sixth son.

Lilly seventh child and First daughter.

Rose eight child and second daughter of Andrew and Elena.

All six of the boys including Williams had tears of happiness in their eyes.

Irene and Lilly who saw this also cried happily. Rose on the other had looked completely satisfied and had a proud look on her face.

You see, now no one can say that you are not my family. You are all my elder brothers.

Wow I am so lucky to have six of them. She was shaking with exitement.

This made everyone smile and paved the way for a round of hugging. The boys were greatful beyond anything. The heathwere felt blessed beyond they deserved to be.

Next morning all nine went to meet Steve the master weapons smith before leaving for Irene's place.

Steve, as usual, enveloped Alan in a bear hug, but he no longer felt as large and imposing as he once did. All the boys had grown tall and sturdy themselves now.

They spend a couple of hours having casual talk and then prepared to leave.

Alan produced a silver metal from his storage ring, which was as big as or even bigger than Steves head itself and weighing more than 25 kilos in Steve's hands.
