this is a new development

Orion and Theo morning seemed so natural. Like it they've always been doing this.

Marcy came in with clothing for Theo and a way to all knowing grin.

***

Shit. I thought to myself, I have to find Sera before the news does.

"You mother has asked to see you. She says she had a vision." Marcy says as she brushes my hair.

"What are you serious?"

"Yes my child, she seemed distressed so I just you go to her as soon as your dressed."

Marcy continued "she also cancelled your studies the rest of the week."

Heck ya!

Marcy stripped my bed, she's gonna notice the blood.

Doesn't matter she's not dumb the fact he was here in towel and she had clothes for him prepared means she knew already. Ugh so humiliating.

"I'm going to have my things brought over to your room, of course only if you're okay with that."

"Yeah it'll save Marcy the extra errand of fetching you clothes every morning as I imagine I can't get rid of you now" I said standing on my tip toes to give him a kiss.

"Damn right"

We leave my room and head to the south quarters, my mothers office was there next to the library.

My brother Alistar and gets his smarts from our mother.

We get to doors identical to my fathers and knock.

"Come in"

Theo and I walk into her office and take a seat in her sitting area. The queens office was different from the kings. Her room had a lot of pink and silver and white actually. Can't tell by looking at her but she's a pink princess at heart.

My mother gets up and walks over taking a seat in the sitting area with us. Moments later one of her maids brings over coffee and tea, with beautiful silver sugar and cream cups.

"I wasn't sure what you drank so I brought both for you. Orion drinks coffee and I drink tea." My mother said "please have some"

"What's up mom? Marcy said you wanted to talk." I said

Looking over to Theo she sighs realizing she's admitting to a deep family secret.

In her family tree all the women have visions. They're seers. But my mother, the queen is an exceptional seer with very clear visions.

She begins:

"I had a vision, there was darkness and a fog rolling over the lands. Poisoning everything it touches. Behind the fog were screams of unseen monsters. Blood flowing in front of them under the fog toward me. And then pushing against the fog there was light it looked like it was setting the fog on fire." She paused a moment "and then it changed showing me you falling in the air reaching for him" glancing over to Theo. "You both stay just out of reach, but then you manifest some kind of, I don't know how to describe it, but like lightning thread stretches out from both of you connecting your marked hands." Rubbing her hands in her lap anxiously. My mother amxious? Weird. "And then I woke up and I was sitting at my vanity in the mirror and it was frozen over in purple ice" she finished. There was a long moment of silence.

"What do you mean purple ice?" Theo said breaking the silence.

Looking over she said "I mean ice, ice so cold it burned my fingers touch" show casing the burn that was fading in her finger "and then in minutes it had evaporated into the air like it was never there"

"Mom that's terrifying, what does dad think? Are you planning to call a council meeting and a meeting with the witches?"

The witches were humans but not. See humans with arcanic magic were less human and more elf the longer they practiced. Arcanic magic is from us our god the one who resides sleeping in the tree of life. Mimicking our long life spans and regeneration abilities. No where near that of an elf, but far superior to that of human. A witch could live an easy 200 years if she was a good practitioner. They often did the interpretations of a seers vision. The magic is different with them than with us. It's apart of us in our blood in our land. And they pull the magic from the land. The tree of life seems the worthy of such so we do as well because who are we to question the king of gods.

"I had your father and brother inform both yes." She said "while you were other wise disposed of" glancing between the two of us with a smirk "this morning, we accomplished much and will have a meeting later this evening. Theo would you mind bringing your companions?"

Cheezus does everyone in this house know I got fucked this morning? It's only mid morning!

"Certainly my queen" Theo said

"Mom about the connection you mentioned in your vision." I started " I think I know what it might be, or at least it has something to do with it."
