people.
August says, "Jensen has been taken."
Mark asks, "Are you certain?"
August nods and responds, "Oscar tried all his contacts. I even contacted my friend who is a translator for the angels. They can't find him anywhere."
That got me to thinking. The past keeps coming up and this had to be MaryAnne.
Adorsa demands, "Why are you here besides to deliver bad news."
August looks at her and back to me. She clears her throat and states, "The reason why they took Jensen. They must want the elementallers."
Shane asks, "What is that?"
August sighs and replies, "Can you make some tea? This is a long story."
Chapter Seventeen:
August went on to explain that the elementallers are children of the original triad. Jensen, Parker Tilleman, and Viven Delrow that came to this universe. August has been protecting Parker's and Vivian’s children. Their blood can unlock ancient magic. The Moonlight Burning Forrest holds special animal protectors and stars.
The stars are looked over by a centaur to stop the merging of the universes. Only the stars keep the universes and worlds in order. It's MaryAnne since she is only other person to know about these breaks barriers they all merge together.
She might be able to resurrect Feltus back from the land of the dead to allow spirits and ghosts freedom of coming back as well. Thunder ghosts are blue auras that allow psychics to commute with them, the dead. They have unfinished business and forever trying to move on to the next stage of life rather eternal bliss or reincarnation.
So that proved no hell which pleased Ginger. The tower spirits are yellow auras that are lost souls that don't remember why they can't move on. It is the cycle of life and balance must remain yet MaryAnne wishes to threaten that.
If the Moonlight Burning Forrest is protected by a centaur why when Haruki cast his spell didn't she or Stacey observe this mythical being? She asked exactly that and August replied that they hadn't forced their way in.
Had a spell that lead inside the doorway and since Stacey and she hadn't crossed over into that world. They weren't dangerous to destroying the balance that is in place.
It made since, so they needed elementallers blood to cross over to that realm. First she needed to get Haruki to safety. She asked Adorsa to take him to Malcolm Silverdale's for protection.
Now that was done. She needed to protect the elementallers from MaryAnne, or else the universe would unreveal before them.
Chapter Eighteen:
Keeping this huge secret from Stacey and Penny wasn't possible. The last thing she wanted to do was endanger them. Jurnee promised to make sure Penny stayed home. She was due to give birth in the next three weeks and they didn't want an early due date.
Stacey on the other hand still had a month to go and wasn't being corporative with taking it easy. She was so damn stubborn that Shalice has to make certain she stayed home on bed-rest, as much as possible and not race off to the Academy.
She only had a few classes and a course to finish. She'll be a detective soon enough. Things were happening for all of them. I was almost done with my MFA, just needed two more semesters and finally finished with school. A relief I couldn't wait to be finished.
Trying to protect people and not disturb their lives was not fun. It was my shift to watch Tristan Bradshaw. We had no idea why they hadn't attacked yet but we were ready when they did. I wish I could tell Tristan, Missouri Gilbert, and Raven Redpath.
That would make protecting them that much easier. We had all taken shifts and thanks to August's magic they were pretty well cloaked. I learned it never hurt to be extra sure when dealing with Piper who always seemed three steps ahead of me.
Tristan was inside Johnny Rocket's getting his lunch at the Howard Hughes promenade. I was sitting and trying to read about Peaches. Stardust by Mimi Strong was so good and had to stop myself from laughing out loud.
I was in public after all,
