Back in time

Yes I did all that," Palena replied coldly.

"Why?" Nila couldn't stop herself from shedding baby tears. She's been with this woman for centuries and all these while she never knew she's been a pawn to an unknown chess strategy and to think her stupidity made her involve her entire family into it.

How could she not have sensed it.. right from when she suggested her using the Luxa spell to put Cruella to sleep.. right from when she made her sacrifice her powers and leave Neville..she did feel uncertainty then but she was too weak and too gullible to put the pieces together.

"Why? Well it's simple...I did it to save you." Palena replied, still emitting a cold aura.

"You..you told me my mother traded me after birth. You told me she didn't want me because I'm an Irish..yo-you said.."

"I remember all that I said to you Estella, you don't need to repeat my words." Palena cut in, snapping her hands to release Estella from the still spell.

"Now be nice or I won't tell my reasons," she warned as she knew Estella would definitely try to attack.

"Are any of your visions even true? Did you even have a vision in the first place?" Nila asked, slowly rising from the couch.

"Well I did but it wasn't quite serious. You see, I did foresee a war between the four celestial tribes but I didn't tell you the truth.

During your gestation period, I had three visions.

The first one was the birth of two powerful beings, strong enough to defeat billions of rippers on their own. These beings were from the rulling clan and at that moment, the current rulling clan were Balen's since the Irish weren't dominant with the loss of their king. The only problem with this vision was that among the two beings, one was stronger and no matter how close they were, at some point the weaker one became more of a liability.

As time went on, the two beings began to grow apart, love turning to hate and soon a war broke out. A weak to strong war and definitely the weak will always perish but this war caused a lot of crisis. Neville wasn't a safe place anymore, lots of Nevillites got hurt, many died and some ran off to the human world to seek refuge..." Palena paused, looking at their faces. When she noticed they were impatiently waiting for her to land, she sighed and continued.

"Cruella and Estella, you're both those powerful beings in my vision. At first I wasn't worried because I knew you'd be killed during birth but when I had the second vision, I began to feel restless."

"What's the second vision?" Cruella asked , her heartbeat had quickened after hearing Palena's first vision. She knew she's the weaker one here and if peradventure a war should break out between them, she would definitely perish.

"The second vision is how I die," she said plainly.

"Let me guess, you died by my hands, begging for mercy but i showed you none..right?" Estella laughed in a sadistic manner earning a deadly glare from Logan.

"Actually your wrong," Palena replied unbothered by her words. The reason for my actions is because of my second vision. If I didn't do what I did, I wouldn't last two hundred years after your birth," she added glancing at Nila.

"So you did all these because you're afraid of dying? Just how selfish can you get!"  Nila half yelled.

"I also did it to save our home. You know very well that female Irish aren't suppose to live but yet you wanted to save yours..you even went as far as loosing your powers just to do so and you say I'm the  selfish one? Their coming for her Nila, the Grutina's, the Balen's, the Montina, all of them..they are coming for her and there's nothing you can do about it." Palena said pointing at Cruella.

"I did the right thing by raising Estella because I knew you would cage them like some wild beasts instead of letting them be free. I knew you would be scared of telling them the truth , waiting for the right time which will never come until it's too late! At least now you actually have a chance of protecting your family even though you're powerless. Estella is stronger than you can imagine, she's the real deal and she's the only reason Cruella's still alive right now. If I had let you keep them, they would've been dead or worse, they would actually loose themselves to the dark side. So you're welcome." She said smiling slightly.

Everyone remained speechless after hearing all these. Each person had their own set of questions running through their minds.

"I-I don't know what to say," Nila finally broke the silence. She never really thought she would have to prepare for another war after escaping it centuries ago. She left Neville the moment Kyle died as she knew the other clans would try to overthrown her especially when she gave the Irish an heir. Although Xavier had no powers at first, she still needed to protect him and upon realising she's pregnant, she had no choice but to leave. But she later discovered Xavier's power's which she kept a secret from everyone including Palena. She told everyone he had no idea about magic so as to put him out of dangers way but now that a war is coming their way and her two daughters are the target, she couldn't really think straight anymore.

She had no power to protect them..she had no way of getting them back except to reverse the action of the Luxa spell which hasn't been done in ten millennium.

"If you reverse the Luxa spell, what will happen to Cruella?" Estella asked as she read Nila's thoughts, causing Nila to look at her a bit shocked.

"It would send her back in time..back to 525 years. She would relive the years she had missed. That's the only way to protect her." Palena replied as she knew Nila wasn't going to answer even in the next one hour.

"Se-send me back?" Cruella stuttered. What about You mom and Xavier an-and Jason and ...what would ha-happen to this reality?"

"Well there's only one way to find out." Palena answered.

Ethan appeared in the living room carrying an all is not well look. He looked at everyone's faces and could tell they were also having their own issues.

"What's going on?" he asked, his gaze shifting from one person to the other.

"You know where to find me when you're ready, Palena said , disappearing immediately along with Logan.

Ethan frowned as he felt like he missed something very important, nevertheless he also had an important matter that needs immediate attention.

"Nila, we have a problem, he said after a moment of silence.

"What's the problem?"
