Ch. 160
The elders scolded me for calling a meeting like that. They understood it, but warned me to never do it again. They moved a member from the west elders to the North, allowing Sebastian to return to the West. They then had an Elder from the East move up to become the senior Elder of the North.
I didn't bud into any of that. We probably have a civil war starting against the elders soon. I don't like how they do things. At least some of them. This place needs changing for sure!
I'd brought my parents back to their home along with Zola. We were hugging happily, the second I pulled out of their embrace, Auggie appeared in my arms.
"Dammit, where'd he go now?" I heard Kiran looking around, almost making me want to laugh.

Alester's P.O.V.This new crew is useless as a unit. I'd been working them hard the last couple of months, but they were worse than the 5 year old versions of my old crew. There is no replicating years worth of teamwork, no matter how many experiments and enhancements I put in them. At least they'll serve as a way to weaken the others before I attack.If I did my math correctly and assuming that shadow weavers have a pregnancy span of about 5-6 months she'll be due around late September or early October. I'll attack around. Halloween, when the demon plane is stronger. I'll need the extra boost to beat the five of them together."I think we'll need to enhance your muscles again." I told the older, larger boy. I haven't bothered remembering their names. They won't be around long enough

Kiran's P.O.V.Auggie was a month old now and Zerena told me it was time for him to make his contract with the shadows. She'd apparently kept that information from me when we discovered the hidden room. Her parents, her, Topher, myself and Auggie were staring at the book in the hidden room. We had closed the hidden entrance, needing it dark for this process.Shay took the book out of the glass case, holding it in front of Auggie. The book flipped pages on its own until it reached one with a crescent shape in the center."That shall be his page. You need to prick his foot and use his blood to draw the same symbol mirrored in front of it. The shadow that chooses will merge the symbol and the blood to seal the contract." Shay explained to us.

Zerena's P.O.V.How could I be so stupid? I couldn't let a dark shadow get to Auggie, but I should have relied on everyone else more. I shouldn't have sped my shadows more, now Ares will be coming a whole month early. My heart was breaking with guilt and worry for him. He's so little right now to be coming out to the world today.I took a deep breath, trying not to scream as another contraction started. I clutched onto Kiran's hand hard, trying to focus on the sparks of his touch, instead of the pain. Topher rubbed my head giving me something else to focus on. The contraction began to die down as quickly as it had started. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Hello, Miss Watts. I see Ares still wants to come out early. We're going to try to stop the labor at least for anot

A week had passed by now and Ares was doing well. I spent most of my time at the hospital. I'd take Augie with me to visit Ares. When I wasn't at the hospital, Percy was there. We never left him alone, not for one minute.I only ever left him to see Auggie. Kiran has Auggie anytime I don't, so I know I'm not leaving him without a parent either. I hate not having them together in the same place for long. The doctor is hopeful that I'll be able to take Ares home next week. Time seems to be passing by so slowly right now. Maybe because hospitals are so boring. Perhaps because I just want to be home with him already."He's getting stronger. He's so beautiful, Zerena." Percy told me as he looked into the incubator, like Ares was an angel sent from above. I held the same admiration, so I don't have room to tease.

I woke to a loud beeping on Ares machine. I had fallen asleep on the rocking chair beside his incubator. I jumped awake, immediately standing by his side and healing him with my angel magic. The beeping slowed back to normal. I had been doing this the past couple of days. I hadn’t left the hospital once in those two days. Kiran would bring Auggie here to see me, but it wasn’t long enough. I just want to be home with my babies. Ares had taken a turn for the worst, catching some kind of illness. Topher lost his mind when I told him.He opened up to me about what happened to his mother when he was younger, and his father. I told him we would find a way to help his father soon. He told me not to worry about that, because he believes what Ares has is what his mother had. He left me so fast with a promise of finding the cure in time. The fear of losing my child is unbridled by any

Percy’s P.O.V. 6 months later My Ares, I write you this letter in hopes you will one day find it. To answer the question I know you will be asking, yes, I knew it was going to happen. I know you will probably hate me for making this decision. Please know that I had no other choice. I saw the many ways it could have played out. The best way for it to end was for me to die. My death catalyzes your mother’s rise to her true power. It was the only way we were going to beat Alester. It was the only way to keep you safe. If I didn’t sacrifice myself, it would have ended with you and your brother being captured. It would have ended in the death of your Aunt Tally’s unborn child, or with the deaths of Emerson and Kellan. Your mother would have lost her heart that day as well. She would have spiraled out of control trying to get you two back. Eventually, she would have succumbed to her darkness, and joined Alester, just to be by your side. I love you, my son. You are my everything and I

Zerena’s P.O.V.“What do you think their shadow’s ability will be?” Topher asked me, as we watched Augustus and Ares play with one another.“I am not sure, but I know they each have strong shadows, so whatever it is, it will be amazing.” I smiled.Honestly, since leaving the hospital and returning home, life has been absolute bliss. I don’t think I've ever felt such happiness before. Things seemed to be looking up for us all. I still went to the north every now and then, but I didn’t feel the need to go as often.I was able to help the triplets with their revenge on the man that killed their mother. I used my status as a Watts and the evidence we had gathered to have the man finally pay for his crimes. The triplets are now, forever, grateful. Josiah will come to visit us here in the west, and he actually found his inte
