Where to Meet

Lucerne and Ella went outside. Lucerne took a hold on Ella and jump to the roof top of the house. They both sat side by side. Just like went they were young. As the wind blew Ella hair to the side. Lucerne took a good look at his little sister. A little child. Long brown hair and forest green eyes. She look also like a little cherub without the wings. She told him what happened that day. He look sicken to hear that he's brothers and sister had done. To place a curse upon her. In a day or two the curse be lifted. Even if just a little of it.
"So where to meet our brothers and sister?" Ella ask Lucerne.
"In the north. To one of the temples we have."
"Which one?" Lucerne shook his head. "I will not tell you right now. I fear that Kell will hear us."
"He can't use the Globe of fire."
"The Globe of Fire?"
"Its what father use to look in the moral realm. He doesn't have that kind of power." Lucerne just look at her and said no more. Ella signed.

Inside the house Michael, Sara, and Alejo sat around at the table. Dinner was quite. Each one want to say something. Sara looked to her husband.
"You just got back and now you have to go again. Gods in our house and you think that this is a normal day for us. First it the was the cow, than a missing sword. Now it gods. You think that we can't get anywhere without having mishaps coming our way. If the gods strike me down so be it. To have this come our way." Michael for one could not help it if she were to blame him. He cause a lot trouble for his family. Misfortunes come their way.
"If it wasn't for the cow to trample threw out the village. I wouldn't have met you. My love, I know we been through alot. Even the work I do, isn't enough from keeping you away from me. Heaven need our help. The gods need our help. If its true about what they said. If we don't help them then can we sit by and let mankind get destroy."
"But to believe that we our in the middle of a war. I just wish the time can stay still for us. Each time that you go out to do a job. I feel that this is the last time, I will see you. You have no idea that you stop my heart each time this happens. And now It the two of you. I just wish that Alejo had a wife and child to leave to behind." This is the reason that at his love his wife so much.
"My darling wife, have I not come back to you each and every time. It will be like I have gone on an adventure with the merchants. Only this time I will be taking Alejo with me. It will be a chance for him. To see some of world. And we are helping the gods too."
"..."
The silence continues until Alejo got up from the table.
"Where are you going?" Sara worried tone came to his like a knife. Alejo looked at his mother and sigh.
"I guess no where. Since mother still think I am a child."
"You are my child. I just don't want to see you hurt."
"Mother, people get hurt all the time. It just that you are thinking that I can protect myself. I been learning the ways of the sword and I know that the world is different than our small village. One day you knew that I will have to make my own mark on the world. I can tell you that this may hurt you, but you can keep me here forever. I am only think of the future and now that it has fallen on our lap. You tell me that I cannot be a man." Alejo said.
"Sweetheart, I know that you will become a man one day. It just that it is not that day."
"Sara" Michael looked cold that his wife. She baby him and the boy just want to grow up. And become a great man in her eyes. But for once she'll have to give up and let the boy be a man.
"Micheal" Sara said scarcely. She was not going to let this go. Micheal shook his head.
"I know you want to protect him."
"I do want to protect him but you unwilling wish our son death. I will not have it. If you take him. I will not be here to welcome you back." Her anger voice interrupted him. Micheal sighed. He stood up from the table. Looking at his wife and said in a quiet voice.
"I know you will hate me in the morning. Even if you do not agree with me." With a heavy sigh and one last look at his wife walk out of the house. Sara turn to her son.
"We do not need him. Let us continue our live just like he went he was with the merchants."
"No mother. I will go with them in the morning. You can't keep stop me from going. Those gods came to us for help and you are afraid of me for not coming back. I will sent you lot of letters. I will try to write every day."
"You know I can't read." She close her eyes and took a deep breath. Holding back her anger. She look once more at Alejo. He was on his way to his room. He stop and turn around that the sound of her voice.
"Alejo." Her voice shook. She grab a hold of the plate in front of her. It took all her might not to throw the plate at the wall next to him. During this time Alejo came to his mother side. Put his hand on her shaken hand. He softly said.
"I know you will worry about me, mom. This is far beyond all of us. I am scared that my mother will be left alone and unprotected. But you don't have to worry about me. I am more worried about you. I not going to be here to protect you, but I have to go with them. You heard them. Me and father has to go. They can't live in our world without us. We have to at least get them where they need to go. I just wish to had a siblings that way you would not be alone." Without saying one more word to him. She hug him given he that last comforter of love. There no turning back now. This last moment is all she had. She didn't want to lose him and her lifetime love of a man.
"Go to bed. You and your father will have a long way to go. But remember to write that way I can hope you can return to me. And if you find a girl that you love. Bring her back to see me." He shook he head and smile at her.
"Okay I will." He give her a kiss on the cheek and another hug. Wish her good night and left to his room for the night. Once he left, she let her tears go. She sat at the table. She could not stop them even if she wish it. She shoulder shook. For one moment she could not think at she all see them again. She had this one moment that nerther one was here to stop her from crying. Broken hearted. Her feeling were unheard from both men. Michael step in the door way. Seeing his wife crying. He heart sadden to the fact he can't filled her wish. Walking towards her. Wrap his arms around her. He tried to comfort her. She cried hard in his arms.
"Oh, my love. I hate to see you cry. For once I wish could stay with you forever. But this time we have to oblige the gods. This is a war that will come to us if we don't stop it. And if I can help them I will."
"But must you that our son with you?"
"I have a feeling not only that his must set foot in the world. Do not worry we all be back." His softy whisper in her ear. Kiss her on the cheek. He move his one arm to her back and the other under her legs. Carried her to the bedroom.
"Come my love it time for me to comfort you." He looked softly at her. She stop crying. Wrap her arms around his neck. Rest her head on his shoulder. It brought some peace to her heart.
