Chapter 87

Running my hands through her soft fur I link her back “why are you not shifting is it clothes I can get you something?” his head shaking as I speak her big golden green eyes looking sad “I don’t know what's wrong I tried to shift when I woke just a few minutes ago but nothing I’m stuck.” Kalaban came closer looking over the small fox. “lady Mia is that you?” her head swinging back to look at Kalaban. Something happened between them as she went stiff in my arms. Kalaban slowly came forward his eyes never leaving her eyes. She starts wiggling so I let her go. Trotting slowly to Kalaban. When he touches her a strong wind rushes through the shoreline. Mia starts making this whimpering squeaky whine noise. But her body is wiggling out of control. Kalaban's eyes shine bright as he looks at her. When his hand touches her fur the air explodes in the sweet scent of freshly burnt sugar weed. It's a combination of cotton candy and burnt marshmallows mixed together. A bright green and blue mist fills the area around Kalaban and Mia. A loud pop sound fills the air before it goes deathly silent.

Kalaban now holding a very human-looking tiny bright red-haired woman. Without a thought, I grabbed chad and pulled his shirt off him rushing to Mia. Covering her as she and Kalaban just stare at each other. Had just enough time to pull the shirt over her head before Kalaban's lips are crashing into hers. Smiling brightly happy for them both but I do have a lot of questions. Chad comes over trying to grab my hand but I pull away shaking my head. It's not that I don’t want chad because even though he rejected me I still want him. The problem is I want Rhett back and I feel the ache in my chest where there is not a hole where Rhett's bond once was.

I can see the hurt in him and I feel guilty for putting it there. I want to explain to him that I just can't deal without bond and issues when the man I have fallen in love with the father of my pup is frozen deep in the lake. Somehow aware of the time I can feel it when I touch the frozen lake. Turning away from them all I start walking out on the lake to the center where I feel him the strongest. Dropping to my knees I place my hands on the surface of the lake. The color is so close to the silver light of the moon I can't see through the glass-like surface. I can feel him in every spec of this lake. Tears are now flowing down my face as I weep.

Soon there are several pairs of arms grabbing at me hugging me telling me things will be okay. When aunt Bridget comes to me her eyes are white “my child drowning in self-pity will solve no problems will melt no ice. Think back to all you’ve learned. Everything you have seen. By the strike of the fire moon the fire will blaze again. Stay strong and trust in those you know to be true. Let those of time past help fix what is broken.” her eyes cleared as she shakes her head. As much as I love the goddess I would love it if she didn’t always speak in riddles.

Mia soon is joining me in the middle of the lake pushing everyone else away. Coming to sit with me. “you know he wouldn't want you to sit here and cry. If I am mistaken you both made promises to set this right and restore your bond. You now have your family here with you. Some strong magical beings I can tell. Plus you have me and my” she sniffs her eyes shooting to me “twins oh my goddess. Do you know how rare it is for twin dragons? You and my little big brother are destined to bring about the change needed. We need a birthing chamber we have three months to prepare oh no three months we only have three months. We need Rhett here for the birth or we lose them both and you. Twins need the combined fire of both parents. Twins can only be born to dragons who can summon hell fire at will.” Mia is so animated flaying her arms around starting and stopping sentences. Kalaban made his way to me tilting his head side to side as Mia rambles on about what needed to be done to prepare. “I knew you were a special little one. I have so many things to apologize for. The things I said to you at my pool. Ash, I don’t know how to even ask for forgiveness.” his face long in sadness. Pulling him to me hugging him “Kal you didn’t know me then you do know how can I hold that against you. Had the shoe been on the other foot would you hold it against me things I said to a stranger?” with a chuckle he shakes his head.

“I hate to bust this touching moment but can someone explain what the actual fuck is going on here?” queen aria demands. Her power laced through her words. Mia’s head snaps to aria. Sniffing the air tilting her head. “a decedent?” she looks back at me then Kalaban. We both know what she's asking and we nod. With that, she's flying well and running cause foxes can't fly but if they could she was. Stopping just in front of aria looking her over. Sniffing the air around her. “in all my years I have never met one its an honor goddess touched.” Mia bows her head. Aria is confused and is looking around. Kalaban barks out a gut-rolling laugh. “lady Mia queen aria has no clue as to which you speak.” shaking his head. Mia looks at him in questioning.

“is she not the descendant of the goddess?”
