So, here's a coninuation.
I felt rain pouring on my shoulder, making me feel a chill up my spine. I looked over, and there was a woman, one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She was in very fine cotton peasant style clothes. Her shirt was a pale red, and her pants were dark blue. In her arms was a tiny babe that she rocked in her arms. Her hair was vibrant red. I noticed a marking just above her eye, it was a half moon, almost not big enough to even see.
"I know this is going to be hard, Variaca." a hand reached out to touch her shoulder. I hadn't seen him enter, he was a handsome fellow with dark brown curly hair, and a well trimmed mustache. I couldn't see much else about his face. He was wearing a very fine cloak that was made from some sort of silver and black velvet. His shirt was a coarse textured silk that was brown. I couldn't see his pants, hidden by the shadow of the cloak. He put his arms around the woman, like a lover would.
"I wish there was another way to do this. I don't know how else to keep Malisipher from finding her though. He's at our doorstep trying to take our castle, and when he does... you can guarantee he'll take her and teach her all of his malice, and hate. He'll teach her to hate us!" said the man.
"I know, but it still doesn't make this any easier. Look at her, she's so beautiful! Poor thing, she'll never know who I am. Oh, Jerome! Isn't there something else we can do?" she said
"no, Variaca, there is not. I want to keep her as much as you do, trust me! She's going to be beautiful some day, if she looks anything like you! Quick, cast the spell before Malisiphers men come crashing through the door. I know of only one Power Born who can track you, and that's me, but you must do it quickly." Jerome said.
Then there was a crash from what sounded like a hall way. There was a screaming voice saying "LET ME IN!! PLEASE! LET ME IN!!! IT'S MALISIPHER! HIS MEN ARE INSIDE THE PALACE!!" It was a mans voice. I felt 4 pressense's nearby. One of them was searching out these people in the room. 2 of them were in the room, and another, I felt was very close.
"quick, it's Verach, open the door!" Varaica said, motioning over to a lever which Jerome quickly rushed over to and hit. The wall rotated about 90 degrees just enough to allow passage of a person through.
The man who had brought me to whatever planet I'm on now, stepped through the doorway, and quickly closed the door after him.
"they didn't see me come in, but Malisipher won't be long in finding this place with us here. Quick, start the time spell, I'll hold Natario. I'll finish the spell once you reach half way, that way Malisipher will not be suspicious that you had the child taken to another place." he grabbed the sleeping babe from Varaica's arm. She immediately went into a trance, her eyes darkened, and her pupils became very large. Her hands moved fluidly and a round blue ring began to take shape
"there, it's half way, it's up to you to finish the rest on the other side! Give this to her when she comes of age! Keep her safe, keep her secret. You've been the best friend and mentor I could have ever asked, Verach!" She placed a piece of paper on a box that was tied with twine labeled "Natario"and with that, he stepped through the portal, vanishing into the abyss that had formed inside it. I felt a surge of power, and I too was sucked through the portal.
It was dark, and raining like before, but this time there was only one pressence. THe little baby started to cry. "shhh.... it's ok little Natario. You'll be safe and warm soon. I'll be back for you little one... no need to worry. You're mom will be ok, and you'll see her before you know it... shhhhh.... sleep little one." he said rocking the baby. He stuck the box in a pocket in his sleeves. He was standing in the middle a street. I looked around, and realized it was my street. He made motions with his hand over the babys head. A blue warmth wrapped around the baby, and the pressence I had felt was weaker, almost not even there now. "there, our powers are bound together, little one. You will be great one day. Your mother loves you." and with that, he walked to the house in front of him. It was my house. He knocked on the door.
My parents answered. "hello. What can I do for you?" my mom was first to the door. A chill went up my spine. She looked a few years younger, like she did in the early photographs of me with them.
"uh, yes. I am looking for the Koller residence."
"Why are you looking for the Koller's?"my mother asked, now sounding slightly skeptical
"I have a special message for them."
"This is the Koller residence, what do you want?" my mother now sounding almost alarmed.
"I know you filed for adoption a few months back, well, we have a special baby who needs a home." He said as he leaned the baby forward in his arms a little. "she's umm... not from around here. Please, if I can come in we'll fill out the paper work, that is if you want her."
"Oh my gosh, we've been waiting for almost 4 years for a baby! Please, do come in!" My mom said, now sounding giddy with excitement. And she let him in.
"Let me explain. This is going to sound totally rediculous, so I'm going to show you a few things first. If you would hold her for a second. Her name is Sam." and he handed her to my mom. I realized it was myself. Verack made motions with his hand and there was a looking glass, a transluceant backed mirror. "Here, look and watch, it will better explain about that little one's origins." he handed the mirror to my mother, now looking totally happy but very perplexed at the same time.
"what do I do?" she asked.
"just look into it." Verach said. So she did, and when she did, her eyes went blank and so did her expression. Almost like she was in a trance. I looked over her shoulder, it showed the last scene I had just seen, and I couldn't see the rest, it was obscurred by a glare. Then suddenly she snapped out of it.
"I see. This is all very nice. However you're doing that, I'm not sure, but I'm sure that this is just another scam. Why should I believe you?" My mother now angry, but not raising her voice for fear of waking the now sleeping little girl.
"This." and he took out the box. My mother took the box, and tried to remove the note from the box. It wouldn't move. "It won't work for you because Varaica made it so that only her touch will open it." he said pointing to the little baby.
"so if what you're telling me is true, why did you pick us?"
"I have been watching you for a little while now. You have compassion, and you love each other. You once took Varaica in when she was hurting, though you don't remember because we had to wipe your memory of that occasion to keep you safe. It was then that Varaica had made an agreement to leave her child with you, should it come to that. You saw that in the mirror."
"yes, I did. Well, at any rate she seems like she is a beautiful child. She's pretty evenly tempered so far. We've wanted a child for a couple of years now.... I need to talk to my husband. Here, take her for a second." and she handed the baby to Verack and headed into the living room where my dad was reading a book.
"yes, what is it honey?" He asked her as he saw her come in.
"we have a man who is from the adoption agency. They have a girl they want us to adopt. They need you to sign some papers with me. Are you sure you still want to do this?"
"Are you serious?!! They found a child for us? Of course I still want to adopt a child! Let me see her!" He was very excited. My mom led him quickly into the main common area where Verack was standing.
"now you two need to understand you will not remember me ever being here. You will not remember that she is not yours, nor that her name is Natario. Her name is Samantha Koller now. She will be yours, wholey and completely until she turns 16. When she turns 18, I will come and get her to take her home. She will be back, but I can not say when she will be back. "
"yes, that's fine, We're just happy to get the opportunity to have a child! Will there be a way to contact you?" My mother said
"no, there will not. I will be around though, but you won't see me, or know who I am. Now, look into this medalion, and I will complete what I cam here for." He said holding up that clear crystal he had when he came to my room.
Then I woke up from the vision. Now I sort of understand. But who is this Malisipher guy? Who is Varaica, and Jerome? And what do my parents have to do with it all? The vision had revealed how I had gotten on earth, and why I was back here, kind of. But why was it needed that I was here? And are my parents alright? whatever happened at the house, it had not been pretty, and I really hoped they were ok. I came to, and I was on the ground next to the lake.
"ah, I see you have come to, little one." You were tossing all the while you slept. What dreams did you have?" Verach asked me. Somehow, hearing his voice now, comforted me.
"I saw you, a woman named Varaica, and a man named Jerome. I saw you taking me to my parents. Are my parents ok? Who is Varaica and who is Jerome?" I asked, still recovering from the headache
"ah, so many questions little one. I will explain later. Just know that you are what is called "power born". I am one too. Varaica is your real mother. Jerome is your real father. So you understand what happened the night when you were taken to earth?"
"only that you took me to my parents and that the place they were in was under seige from this guy they called Malisipher who would teach me his malice and hate if he ever found me. who is the Malisipher guy?"
"ah, that little one, is a question I will have to answer later. I'm sorry. Just know that he's a bad man who has done many hoeeible things to people. He has killed many of our kind. So many, that there are only a handful left on Gornikas, this planet. He will kill you if he finds you. For now, I'm going to teach you how to supress your powers so that he can't find you." He said, pausing. "first look into your reflection on the lake." I did, and what I saw was not my body, well, it partially was, but I was also horse from the waist down. The coat was silver and white with a few black hairs too. I had wings that were extended out of the shoulder blades on the front legs. The wings were white, until the tip where they were rainbow colored and tipped with black. Out of my head was about a 6 inch horn, swirled with gold. At the tip was an emerald that finished out the shape of the horn. I thought to myself "wait, that's not me. This must be an illusion" I looked down, no, it was no illusion.
"you're right, it is not an illusion little one. That is what is called your "true" form. You changed when you went unconcious. It took all my power to shield your power. You have great power, little one. Now, think about what you looked like in what you would consider your "normal" form. and make sure to concentrate on it." He said in a very calm voice. I did so, and as I did, I felt a coldness wrap itself around me, and then I felt myself become shorter. I felt like my whole body was exposed to the open air, it was cold.
"Oh dear, forgot to tell you, you have to be in the clothes you were last in when you invision yourself.... Here, take this traveling robe" He said blushing, looking away he handed me a cotton robe. I was completely naked. I felt stupid. I quickly put on the robe. I was greatful that he had it with him.
"ok, I'm done, you may look now. Sorry about that."
"it's ok little, I didn't instruct you well enough. Ok, now to shield your powers. . . Ok, take your hands in front of you like so" he held his hands flat against each other in front of his chest. "now, pull your hands up and then out and away in a circle all the while concentrating on closing your mind. You should know what I mean by closing your mind." and he made the motions he described, a light blue light wrapped its warmth around me, and I let my mind close and calm. There had been such a clatter in my head, I hadn't realized.
"there, your power should remained shielded as long as you keep your mind closed. That warmth you felt is your powers wrapping themselves around you instead of being inside you. Your mind should feel more quiet. And now, we head to your home." he said, nodding toward the city on the horizon. I coudn't really make much more then it had walls. There was a path that went through a forest. Verach had brought over some horses. "we head out towards that city over there. It will be a few days to travel there by horse, but I didn't dare take you directly into the city right away for fear that too many eyes would see, and that I wouldn't be able to control your powers when you changed into your true form. There will be people who will recognize you when you enter the city, but until then, we need to reach the forest by night fall. You were asleep for almost a day, we have time to make up. we travel in silence, who knows where Malisipher's ears might be." He mounted his horse. I knew how to mount a horse, I had loved horse back riding, but had only gotten the chance to do so a few times, but now I was gratefull for those oppurtunities. We headed on our journey, and reached the forest.
"we camp here tonight" suddenly Verack stopped at a clearing in the woods, the bright sun setting now behind the hills. He dismounted, I followed. "we will sleep here" and with that, he pulled two bags from his pack on his horse, handed one to me, and layed the other on the ground. That night was one spent in silent fear.
Well, until next time!
I felt rain pouring on my shoulder, making me feel a chill up my spine. I looked over, and there was a woman, one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She was in very fine cotton peasant style clothes. Her shirt was a pale red, and her pants were dark blue. In her arms was a tiny babe that she rocked in her arms. Her hair was vibrant red.
