A life changing meeting

Mom and Dad said that they are having an old friend come over who can help me. I don't know why I need help. I am learning magic just fine. Gaunter left yesterday to Vizima, Dad asked him to find a mage called Mar. He is supposed to come here right after being asked. The diary that Gaunter gave me is really helping, I have learned to do multiple short distance teleports. Everything in the book is true. After awhile it became second nature.

"Cera!!! Come out of your room. The mage is here." I hear my mom call out to me. She sounds pretty impatient so I shouldn't keep her waiting. She was never one to wait for me, it was always come when called or it's time out time.

"Ok!! I'm hurrying!!" I jump off my bed and put my sandal's on. I rush out the door and see a very tall man with a clean cut beard. He looks familiar, but I cant place him in my memories. He has magic items on his belt that look pretty cool.

"So this is the little boy, huh? Wow he looks just like you Lillian. White hair, blue, green, and a hint of yellow in the eyes." He says as he is looking at me. I wonder if he can do the same magic as me. Dad never said who this man was and what he can do.

"Hello, my name is Cera. What's yours?" I ask the man. Hopefully he is as nice as Gaunter. If Mar can use magic like I think he ca, then maybe he can teach me about it. Mom wouldn't harp on me some much if we had a friend help teach me.

"My name is Mar. Your Dad told me that you can use magic. Mind if you show me Cera?" He says to me. I only know one thing that I learned from Lara's diary and that was how to teleport. I haven't gotten any new tricks yet.

"Can I use it afterwards.....Mom said I couldn't use it anymore till you got here." I say to the man. I look over and my Mom is giving me the stink eye. I have been sneaking out to practice the thing's in the diary without her knowing. If she found out she would kill me.

"Well your mother had the right idea Cera. Magic is very dangerous and violent if you can't control it." He says chastising me. I guess nobody like's it when I use magic. Thinking back I shouldn't have told mom and dad I could use magic. Then I could learn and use it as much as I wanted.

"Fine, but I don't want you to be mad at me Mom. I thought you would be happy that I can do magic." I say to the woman who raised me and loves me more than anything in the world. I wish that she could use magic too, then maybe we could learn together.

"Oh honey, I was never mad at you. I was scared that you would hurt yourself so I didn't let you leave the house. Lets not waste anymore time and show Mar what you can do." My Mom says with finality. She seems to be on a mission to find out what's 'wrong' with me.

We head outside and Mar is talking to Mom in private about something. I cant hear them from where I am at. I shouldn't give mom more reasons to be mad at me right now.

~~~(POV Mar)~~~

"Your child is very special Lillian. The magic power pouring out of him is unique, something I haven't seen in a very long time." I say to her with confidence. I know the origins of Lillian's and Alexander's family. I never told them to protect them from dangers they could not face. It seems that I can no longer hide the truth from them.

"I'm not sure how you can tell Mar. Just help protect my son. I fear that this is a bad omen of some sort." Lillian say's to me. I can tell she is terrified. I will give her credit in the fact she hides her fear from her son well.

"How much do you know about your family Lillian?" I ask her with a slow and calm voice. I know everything there is to know about this little family in the woods. If certain people new they were here they would come for them.

"Not much, why do you know something?" She says to me quickly as if I am a threat. She is on an extreme edge right now. I am very apprehensive about telling her anything right now.

"I do Lillian, I kept it a secret from you and your husband for a long time. It seems that I can no longer do that with the event's taken place. I already have an idea of what is happening to your son." I say to her. I am certain that he has magical abilities. It is now to determine if they are from the Elder Blood or something different. I have come across people with lots of magical power before, but this kid is ridiculous.

"Tell me what you know Mar. If it can help in anyway I deserve to know." She says demanding the information from me. I guess she is adamant on finding out the truth. I should try to dissuade her one more time. I take no joy in testing her resolve, but it must be done.

"Well Lillian I am not sure you are ready to hear it. You and your husband are very special people. It could change your perspective on life if you can't handle the truth." I say to her as I am looking at Cera with calculating eyes. The fact that he was born from these two people have to mean something. I will find out soon.

"Tell me right now Mar. I am running out of patience." She says loudly. Cera looks over as he notices his mom frustrated. I look to Lillian to take us farther away from him. He can't know any of this right now, he isn't ready.

"Ok Lillian, just remember you wanted this. You and your husband are very special in the world of elves and magic. Your ancestors, the one's who share the same name as you, are the line of a female elf called Lara Dorren." I say to her with calm wisdom. She was a powerful elven sorceress, and her bloodline carries her power. The same that is most likely in Cera the more I think about it.

"She is the woman who gave birth to your line. She had a very unique gift called the Elder Blood. It is said that the Elder Blood is an ability to manipulate time and space to unimaginable degrees. It is also regarded as a weapon of incredible power and destruction." I say to her as her face becomes more and more pale. Finding out a truth such as this will certainly scare you.

"Your husband is a direct descendant of Lara Dorren just like you. He was given the surname Amavet. Amavet was the grandson of Lara dorren." I say to her. Amavet was the first male born from the line of Lara Dorren and he was very powerful.

"You are also a direct descendant of Lara Dorren. That is why you have Fiona Riannon Dorren in your name. Fiona was the daughter of Riannon and Riannon was the daughter of Lara." I say with a knowing voice to help calm her. It doesn't seem to be working. Amavet was the son of Riannon as well, they had a very large family.

"In the world of Aen Elle you both would have been treated like royalty if you didn't have human blood. She was royalty after all. You and your husband are carrier's of the gene, but didn't inherit its power. Your son on the other hand.....has Elder Blood running through his veins in an unmatched manner." I tell her with worry. I don't believe males can have Lara Dorrens power. Cera on the other hand is special, someone that shouldn't exist but does anyway. I wonder what his ancestors would think of him.

"I should see what he can do. After I have all the facts I'll know exactly what to tell you." I say to her. She looks as if her world has a whole new magnetic field. I would to if I found out information like that. Talk about an unpreparable day.

"Ok I'll go tell Cera. He has been begging me to let him use his magic since before you have arrived, but I know him and he has been sneaking off to play with it. I also caught him reading a book I do not recognize, but I let him keep it since it made him happy. I didn't tell him I knew about it. I didn't want to upset him even more than he already was." She tells me. I will have to look into said book. Something he got, but not from his mother. Very suspicious indeed.

~~~(POV Cera)~~~

I hear my Mom call me and I rush over. Hopefully I can convince her to let me practice without sneaking off. The book as been a big help. 'Thanks Lara Dorren whoever you are!!' I think to myself. Then suddenly I feel as if I am not alone, like my mother is holding me. Strange I can see my Mom and she is not holding me. After a couple of seconds the feeling disappears.

"Ok do I get to use magic now?!" I say excitedly. I can't wait to play with the power for an audience. I can only do it for a little bit before I have to sneak back home or I get to tired.

"Yes Cera, go ahead and show me the magic you can use." Mar says to me. Confirming that I get to. I don't waste any time and I start to do multiple short range teleports in a turquoise light. It is so easy now since I listened to the diary. After I did a bunch of short range ones I teleport to my house and grab my Moms jacket and teleport back. I hand it to her with a smile. I look at the face of Mar and see complete shock. I better not be in trouble again.

"That is all I figured out that I can do right now." I say to Mar. He makes a big sigh and looks to my Mom worryingly. Now I should be worried, I might end up grounded again.

"Well that was spectacular Cera!!! Never in my life had I seen something like that." He says to me in a calm voice. Guess he isn't upset with me. Mom on the other hand looks like she wants to grab me and never let go.

"Say Cera, isn't your birthday coming up soon?" He asks me with a questioning voice. I don't see how that relates to the situation, but I should give him an answer anyways.

"Yeah!!! I'll be turning 6 years old next month." I say excitedly to him. I have always loved my birthday, mom and dad always do something or give me something special.

~~~(POV Mar)~~~

'Wow only six and he can do this? Talk about power.' I think to myself. If kingdoms got a hold of him. Then we would see conquest on a level that can't be reasonable. I shudder to think of what Nilfgaard would do if they got him.

"Ok lets head back to your home shall we Cera?" I ask him. He seems pretty sad right now. If mom and dad have been treating him like a prisoner. He probably wants to play in stead of sit around being told he cant use magic.

"So I am not in trouble right?" He says in a gentle voice. The poor kid thinks he is going to get punished. I know they are scared, but this is a little much. He isn't my kid though.

"No, of course not. I just have to talk to your mother in private." I say to him. I should let him have some time way from the overbearing mother. Let him have some fun for a little while before we take the next steps.

He teleports back to the house in a flash of light and we are left there alone. This is going to be the part that Lillian will hate for the rest of her life. I would be upset if I thought of magic the way she did.

"Cera Riannon Dorren Amavet. What a fitting name with the blood in your veins my boy." I say out loud next to Lillian. He truly did inherit Lara Dorren's power. Talk about something you never see. I will remember this day for the rest of my life.

"There is much to discuss with you and your husband. We will wait for him to return tomorrow and talk about what to do from here." I say to the scared women who is fearing for her sons life. They need to be together and plan Cera's future from this point on.

"Is everything going to be alright Mar. I have never been so scared in my life." She says holding the tears back. She is strong, I know if anyone ca handle this. It's going to be her.

"I won't lie, those born with the power of the Elder Blood always have an affect on the world. It seems destiny has something great instore for your son." I say to her. I can tell my words didn't help her, but we need to face reality here. The boy is special and his destiny is surely important.

"I would make sure you let the boy train. It will only help him." I say to her. The more he uses them the better his control will get. That way he wont be in danger of harming himself.

"I will try, but my heart tells me to never let him use the power again. I hope you are right Mar. For our families sake." I hear her say to me. Tomorrow will be the day I talk to them about what we shall do.

Unbeknownst to the little family there was a council meeting in Tir Na Lia. The wraiths of the wild hunt are preparing for a journey. The power that was blocking the child has since left and the boy has used it. Now that they can track him, its no better time to grab him.
