Chapter 84 (re)


    He walked away, joining the others in training. She carried on passing a ce which she presumed


    was a hall, and moved further down into arge lounge area with beige couches. She continued


    towards a door, still following the voices.


    She opened it, barging into an office room, with a round wooden table, and chairs. Around it was


    people scattered talking andughing, everybody in the room just looked at her, nkly. A girl whom


    she recognized, stood up, walked up to her and extended her hand.


    “Hi, nice to meet you too, I’m Natarsha, call me Tash”


    re overwhelmed by the room full of people, “Oh.”


    She looked at the girl, not knowing what else to say, luckily Nathan intervened, hugging her, “Hey


    sleeping beauty has finally woke up.”


    She hugged him back, speaking softly, “You’re ok, did you see Calub?”


    A young man stood up from behind a chair, he was tall, like way tall, with dark brown straight hair that


    was gelled in a messy style that enhanced his dark green eyes. He wore a white uniform like the others


    she saw, he smiled showing off his perfectly straight teeth, “Who me?”


    re tilted her head, her eyes widened with excitement, “Calub?”


    She bumped Tash, “OW, where''re your manners.”


    She ignored her, and walked around the table towards him, “Is it really you? You''re all grown up.”


    She squeezed him tightly, holding him around the waist, getting a good look at him, “Ouch, are you


    trying to kill me.”


    She stopped, and standing on her tippy toes started kissing his cheeks, “Sorry, are you ok, gosh I


    missed you so much, I thought you were dead, or worse, being tortured by a Tempter, thank god you’re


    fine.”


    He nodded gleefully, She wanted to cry, he looked so big, it had been years since she''dst seen him.


    He was a little boy, now he was taller than her, “Bow to that, I missed you too sis, but you know I was


    never kidnapped, right?”


    Lost and curious Kalbreals eyes were, staring at the floor,s away. She looked around the room,


    there were three other people, all wearing white, except for Tash, Kalbreal and Nathan.


    She registered what Calub just said, her eyes darted on Nathan, who held a smile, “What''s going on,


    why were we, almost killed yesterday?”


    Nathan sat down on a chair, “Yesterday? You mean two nights ago, it’s Wednesday.”


    A talldy walked in the room, “re,e with me.” her voicemanding.


    re shot thedy a defiant re, but something about thisdy told re that there was no


    negotiating. She followed the woman towards the lounge area, “I see you know that your brother is all


    well.”


    re sighed, “Yes, but I don’t understand what''s going on, did you hear from my father?”


    They sat down opposite each other in the lounge. A man came in with a te of food, it was macaroni


    and cheese. He left it in front of her and sat down next to thedy, who spoke, “You should eat.”


    re looked at the man, “What exactly is this ce, House of legions?”


    The man said, “My name is Wesley Ravensword,” his voice was very deep, he had no specific ent


    to his tone, “This is Sofia Draiken.


    re sat up and took the te of food, she started eating. She was so starved, and to be honest the


    moment she heard Draiken, she felt relieved, “How are you rted to my mother?”


    Thedy and man passed discerning res at each other, the woman smiled, “Franchesca''s my sister.”


    “re I need you to listen to what we tell you before you ask any questions, can you do that,” Wesley


    asked, his tone gentle. Nerves raked her body’ her guard going up. A hand touched her shoulder. She


    looked to her right, it was Calub, his reassuring eyes causing her reluctant nod, “Fine.”


    “The Legion, is a society of extraordinary Lightwatchers, in 1047, a woman named, Areana Legionnaire


    founded the first group of legions- A group of Lightwatchers whose abilities exceeded far beyond the


    others. When they ascended their abilities were multiplied, and they received a gift, called legacies.”


    Sofia continued, “As legions, we are trained in ancient angelic skills, in Elvan and Naturah magic, as


    well as human martial arts. Over the years our numbers have grown, now we are positioned


    everywhere in the world. We are the warriors of the light, but known as the assassins.”


    Calub spoke, “The Garde kill minor demons, but their jobs are mainly to handle disputes amongst the


    realms and peace treaties, allowing descendants to live among the deceptors. We do the killing, the


    dirty work, some of the Garde are secretly Legions themselves, working both sides, our informants, like


    Nathan was, but.”


    re ate another morsel of food, “Another history lesson, so what does this have to do with me,”

    Sofia smiled, “When Nathan was young, Lightwatchers started dying by the dozens, so we took help


    from the Asguardians. They sent their own to stay in some of our faculties, and even the HOL’s, but the


    deaths continued. A war amongst the Lightwatchers and the other realms brewed, ming each other.”


    Wesley interrupted, re could see the story got to Sofia, “As a Legion, our work can be dangerous,


    one night, Sofia was at home, unexpected, an Asguardian named Varemeal snuck into the HOL.”


    Sofia put her hand on Wesley, he stared at her. She faced re, “He attacked me, I fought back, but I


    was drugged with ichor. Too weak to fight further, my eight-year-old boy, Julius, attacked Varemeal, and


    killed him.”


    Sofia lowered her eyes, and Calub squeezed at re’s shoulder, “But not before Varemeal drove a


    sword through my son''s heart. After his death I feared the worst, I got scared and panicked and did


    what any parent would do in my circumstance.”


    She paused again, and looked at Wesley, he nodded at Sofia to carry on, “I sent my eldest daughter


    Natarsha to stay in the Los Angeles faculty, and I took my three-year-old daughter, rebe, and


    eighteen-month-old son, Calubeal, and gave them to my sister to raise as her own.”


    re put the te down, her eyebrows gathered, her stomach twisting as the taste of food no longer


    appealing, was she hearing things, no, it couldn’t be.


    Sofia’s voice rose in anguish, “I didn’t know that I was putting you in more danger, I swear it, until eight


    years ago when you killed your first demon. There was something special about you re, kids don’t


    ascend so young. I still don’t know what it is, but the Angel of war came for you, iming Metatron had


    ordered your death. That’s when Kalbreal showed up the first time to save you instead and remove


    your abilities and memories. He told Franchesca to hide you, which she did but my sister had secrets of


    her own, deadly ones.”


    Wesley got up, as if the look on re’s face said something, “I have always loved you, re, I sent


    Phillip and his family as protection for you, all those years, I swear I don’t know how they found you, I


    think your sister and them could know something.”


    Sofia added, “They are all so secretive but they will protect you with their lives.”


    re frowned, raising her voice, “FIRSTLY, YOU. ARE. NOT MY MOTHER. Secondly, you are lying, if


    you really were my mother, you would know that one of my abilities is telling when someone is lying.”


    Sofia stared at re, tears pouring out of her blue eyes, sorrowfully, “rebe please.”


    The woman walked up to her, re put the te of food down, “Don’t you dare touch me,” she held up


    her hands to her chest, “You are not my mother, my mother is dead,..dead!”


    Calub whispered, “It’s true re, I’m sorry, but it’s true.”


    She turned to Calub, he believed it, he really believed it, why, “You can’t seriously believe her, when did


    you find out?”


    “I’ve known,” he swallowed hard, “for eight years, straight after the ident.”
