Chapter 116
Alora’s POV
After Damien answered Cathel’s questions, I looked at my brother’s Bryce and Daniel. “This Tome has all the spells used to
reinforce and renew the wards of the training arena. It’s called, The Masters Guide of Warding” I tell them, and just like I thought
they would they lit up.
They both had their hands out, but the Book went to Daniel, they immediately opened it up looking at the spells. Asher and
Nathen looking at it too, reading it upside down. The three boys were now discussing things about the wards, then I thought of
another Tome. “Cathel I have a book for you, give me a moment while I go get it.” I tell him, heading for another shelf on this
floor, my mind already knowing the location of what I’m looking for.
Coming back with the Tome I show it to him “This Tome is called ‘Guidance to being an Arcane Warrior’ meaning a warrior who
specializes in both magic and physical fighting. Perfect for a Vampire Witch Hybrid.” his face lights up so bright and he takes the
Tome, there were more Tomes here that were calling to be given to those around me.
Thinking about it a moment a spell came to my mind, I said it aloud “Veni ad me” which meant, come to me in Latin. The Tomes
flew from their spots to land gently at my feet in a neat stack. I bend down and pick them up. ‘Masters Guide to Cultivating the
Earth’ went to Serenity. “The Masters Guide of Battle Strategies’ went to Master Sam. ‘Masters Guide of Alpha Training” went to
Master Brock. “Masters Guide to Magic and Soul Item Crafting.” went to Kassandra. ‘Masters Guide of Potions.’ went to Bella.
Victor was given ‘History and Facts of Dragon Masters’ and Jaxon ‘Care of a Pregnant Dragon Master’ the looks of confusion on
their faces comical, it confused me as well, but the Tomes wanted to go with them, so I allowed it. Asher got ‘The History and
Creation of the Supernaturals’ and Nathen got ‘Supernatural Law, From Past to Present’. Bryce “The Masters Guide to Magical
Architecture and Building’. Darien’s was ‘The Complete History of Supernatural Arts and Crafting’: 10
Something I should probably let them know before they traipse off with the Tomes. The Tomes were not normal, this world was
full of spirits, and spirits liked to attach themselves to magical things, making them sentient. There were reasons that these
Tomes decided to go with the people they had been calling out to be given to, they would need to be bonded to the Tomes. Like
my swords, they’ll be able to call their Tomes to them at will.
“All right everyone, step into the circle with your Tomes.” I tell them. My mate is giving me a questioning look, wondering what I
was up to. I winked and gave him a reassuring smile, he relaxed and smiled back. “So a couple of things to note before we
leave, first, I need to bond you all with your Tomes so the can be put away and called fourth at will.”
I paused, and looked at them all for a moment “Another thing to note, your Tomes are Sentient, these are not normal Tomes, any
knew knowledge that has to do with your Tomes title and subjects, will add pages to these Tomes.” They all looked at their
Tomes with varied looks of amazement and trepidation. A
“The spirits in the Tomes will introduce themselves to you once bound,” then thinking about something added “The Tomes
decided who they wanted to go with, I didn’t pick out the tomes.” They all now had different amusing looks of surprise on their
faces. Before anyone can say anything or ask questions I say “Vinculum.” which meant ‘Bond’ in Latin.
The circle came to life in a violet glow, different colors of fire magic came out of the Tomes now floating in front of their new
owners. The fires zipped out and spiraled around the new owners from the floor to above their head, the fires then zipped from
around the owners to spiral in a circle around their wrists, tightening and settling into a transparent and painless bond on the skin
of their wrists.
When done the circle stopped glowing, the Tomes were still floating in front of their new owners. The owners themselves had
blank looks for a moment till the books disappeared in a magic circle that appeared briefly under them, the circles disappearing
with the Tomes. Then they were all looking at me in surprise and wonder.
“How….?” was all Kass managed to squeak out.
“All I can tell you, is that ever sense I realized who I was, who I really was, these flashes of insight and knowledge come to me,
more and more knowledge is appearing inside my head, a lot more since we have stepped in here.” I say pointing around us at
the library inside a tree, which is lit by a warm light coming from the tree itself.
“I think I’m going to be spending a lot of time here for a while, the longer I’m in here the more collected knowledge I gained as my
past selves is coming to me.” I say softly as I look up and around, taking in everything. More flashes of memory coming into my
mind.
The newest most disturbing is the amount of times, in the last ten generations, I had been killed before I reached adult hood. I
had been reincarnated six times in the last ten generations, and had been killed by foul and mysterious means each time.
This was because the Black Magic Coven knew of me, and of my mate. Every time they have neared rising in power to take over
the world, mine and my mates reincarnated selves would thwart them. This time around, the Goddess wanted to give the
Supernaturals more beings capable of thwarting the Black Magic Coven.
We would fight, and we would crush our enemy. In this life I have been severely abused, the direct blood line to my first life wiped
out, leaving only me, and Bettina had tried to make sure I wouldn’t be able to come into existence again. Looking at everyone
who was now talking excitedly about their Tomes. I couldn’t help but wonder what had gotten into my father to have even slept
with Bettina.
“What are you thinking about Starlight?” asked my mate.
I look up at his curious expression and smile gently at him “I was just wondering what in the Goddess name would have my
father sleeping with someone like Bettina, even if it was only a one night stand.” I tell him.
“Oh! I can answer that one.” said Kass excitedly.
I look at her curious about the answerer. “What was it?”
“About the time you were conceived, there was a Lunar event that caused a mating madness to fall over all the Supernaturals.
Mated pairs were going at it like crazy and the other unmated adults found a convenient partners for the night, I was told it was
nearly uncontrollable.” she said, “My Grandmother actually put my mother in a sleep stasis to make sure she wouldn’t mate with
anyone but the male she had picked for her.” o
I was surprised, and horrified, yet…at the same time…I was relived. I was relieved, because this meant my father would never
have slept with someone like Bettina otherwise. Then another question pops into my head. “Where was you mothers intended?” I
asked her.
Her and Bella start laughing, and it took them a moment to compose themselves. What was so funny about my question? I didn’t
have to wonder long. “My mothers intended was across the continent in another state conducting Council business at the behest
of my Grandmother.” Kass says, and breaks into another fit of laughter.
“Unfortunately for Grandmother,” Bella’s tone was full of amusement “She sent him strait to Aunt Lucinda and their third, they
met and then the moon madness struck them.” she bursts into laughter.
“Three days after the moon madness struck, Dad arrived at the Witches Council on Grandpapa’s behalf for Council business and
met my mom. They instantly knew they were fated mates.” said Kass, her laughter under control, but her amusement over this
story was very evident.
“Grandma didn’t want Aunt Stephanie to be with Uncle Sabastian, and ordered her to reject him immediately.” said Bella.
“When mom told Grandmother no, she went after dad, and used the fact that mom had remained pure for her mate while he
hadn’t, so he had best do the honorable thing and reject her so she could be with a mate who had also kept himself pure.” said
Kass.
“What!” I said horrified.
“Oh trust me, Aunt Steph was furious when she found out from Aunt Bulma what Grandmother had said to him.” said Bella
“The ‘oh so pure’ mate she had been talking about was now part of a triad.” Kass reminded in a dry tone “According to mom, she
was so upset and furious that she had been crying tears of frustration out in the gardens at the Witches Council, that’s when
father found her.”
“Uncle Sabastian said he was so heart broken over seeing her tears he had been unable to resist going to her asking her what
was wrong, begging her to let him fix it.” Bella said, her smile soft. All I could think was awe, because that was such a romantic
thing to do.
