Chapter Four

On Antar, the originals were sitting at this giant table. Joshua said, "what is this meeting about?"

Valkar said "my mother wants to make an order of when Jax and Thalia will visit your planet."

Klaus (original werewolf and king of Lycanthria) said "they should visit Varito (planet for vampires) next, and then Lycanthria."

Cora (original mermaid and queen of Mirinoi) said "I agree."

Valkar wrote down the planet names and said "so it's Varito, then Lycanthria, what planet is after that?"

Cora said "Hominum."

Valkar said "the planet for wendigo's and then Thorax Laneus (planet for jumpers and coactus. They are time travelers with unique abilities. Coactus are forced to time travel and can't control when they travel through time. They can't go into the future or travel more than 100 years into the past. Jumpers can only travel in pairs. They have a lifelong partner for time travel. When they travel they enter their bodies from that time.)" The originals spent hours working on the list when they finally finished it was almost six-o-clock.

Valkar said "we have pizza made to all your specifications if you're hungry."

Joshua said "thanks but I have to go, can you open a portal for me?"

Valkar said "sure" and opened a portal.

Joshua walked thru it and was in the lobby of Everland Resort. He ran to the elevator and barely got in before the doors closed. He hit the button and it started moving.

In Jax and Thalia's room, they were still watching the Vampire diaries when Thalia's phone went off. Jax paused the show and Thalia grabbed her phone. Thalia said "holy crap it's five minutes until six!"

Jax said "isn't your date at six?"

"YES!" Thalia ran into the bathroom and started to fix her hair.

Jax yelled, "use your super speed it'll be much faster."

Thalia said "but I don't know how to."

"Just move really quickly."

"Oh wow thanks I didn't think of that."

"Don't get angry at me I'm just trying to help."

Thalia said "I know I'm sorry" and closed her eyes. She started moving quickly and then her hair and clothes were fixed. Thalia walked out of the bathroom.

Jax said "you did it."

Thalia said "yep I got a hang of this whole powers thing."

"Don't get cocky." All of a sudden Jax began to glow and Thalia screamed. Jax said, "what's wrong?"

"You're glowing."

"Oh don't freak out I think it's one of our powers because you started glowing fifteen minutes ago."

Thalia said "why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to gloat," Jax said.

"So you'd rather give me a heart attack."

Jax said "we can't die." There was a knock on the door.

Thalia said "You're so lucky" and ran to the door. Thalia opened the door and said "hi Joshua."

Joshua said "hi, you look pretty."

"Thanks."

Joshua said "are you ready to go?"

Thalia said "yes" and walked out of the room.

Joshua said "so we're."

Thalia interrupted "wait here I'll be right back" and ran back to the room.

Jax said "did you forget something."

"My jacket and don't you dare watch it without me."

Jax said "fine" and turned off the TV.

Thalia put on her leather jacket and ran back to Joshua. Thalia said "so where are we going?"

Joshua said "this great restaurant called Clancy's, it's kind of far away so we'll need to get a car to take us there.

Thalia said "I have a better idea, give me your hand."

"Why?"

Thalia said "just give me your hand." Joshua put up his hand and Thalia grabbed it. Thalia said "before I get antsy take us to Clancy's."

They disappeared and reappeared at Clancy's. Joshua let go of her hand and said "you know how to do magic." Thalia said "all you have to do is rhyme."

Joshua said "How do you know that?"

"Don't know but can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"When I look at people they're glowing what power is that?"

"There is a species called cognoscentes which is Latin for knowers."

Thalia said "what exactly are their powers."

Joshua said "the glowing expresses how someone is feeling and with control you'll be able to see if they are telling the truth or not."

"Really how?"

"Not entirely sure cognoscentes aren't big on sharing."

"Ok."

Joshua said "are you ready to go in?"

Thalia said "yes let's go in." They walked in and the hostess showed them to their table. They ordered and the waitress walked to the kitchen. Thalia said "do you know a lot about the other species?"

Joshua said "I know as much as they will tell us why?"

Thalia said "because Jax and I have so many questions like how we know how to talk. We would ask our parents but they left us and everyone is treating us like we're adults. We're supposed to unite everyone but we don��t know-how. It's like they forgot we were just born yesterday."

The waitress came back with their drinks. Joshua said, "can we get our food to go and another one of what Thalia got."

The waitress said "ok" and walked back to the kitchen.

Thalia said "why are we getting our food to go?"

"Because we're going back to the hotel."

The waitress came back with two bags and three plastic drink cups. Joshua said "take us to Jax"

Thalia put her hand on Joshua's shoulder and said "before I grab an ax take us to Jax." They disappeared and reappeared in the room.

Jax screamed and said "what are you guys doing here?"

Thalia said "don't know ask Joshua" and sat next to Jax on his bed.

Joshua put the food and drinks in the fridge then sat in front of them on Thalia's bed.

Joshua said "I know you have questions about your powers, so ask me whatever you want to know and I'll do my best to answer them." Jax and Thalia shared a look.

Jax said "how do we know how to speak."

"The two of you are cogniters they know the answer to every question past, present and future. Simple questions are easy to know like if you asked yourself how to cast spells but harder question take more concentration and control."

Jax said "ok."

Thalia said "do you know our parents?"

Joshua said "I don't know them personally but they're legendary."

Jax said "why are they legendary?"

Joshua said "Your families and species hated each other but your parents fell in love anyways. They went against everyone to be together and that's why they're legendary."

Jax said "do our parents have any more kids?"

"No they just have you."

Thalia said "how do we activate our dark magic?"

"To activate the dark magic on your mom's side you need to witness someone die and to activate the dark magic, on your dad's side you need to be dyeing or kill someone."

Jax said "is our parent's dark magic activated?"

"Unfortunately Yes."

Thalia said "how?"

Joshua said "your mom watched her best friend die when she was six and your father was in a car accident when he was ten that killed someone."

Jax said "can you give us more details."

Joshua said "your mom and her friend accidentally started a fire. Her friend was right next to the fire and your mom tried to save her but she died and your mom would have too, if her dark magic wasn't activated, it's the only reason she's alive. It created a protective bubble around her."

Thalia said "and our dad."

"Your dad and his two best friends stole your grandfather's car and took it for a joy ride. Your father was driving and wasn't paying attention. He ran a red light and rammed a car. He wasn't buckled and he flew out of the car. He would have died but the man he hit died first. Your father's dark magic healed him."

They both said "okay."

Jax said "why are you letting us ask you all of this?"

Joshua said "because Dragon Flame created you for this huge task and I think we all forgot that you're still young."

Thalia said "thanks."

Jax said "I just have one more question."

Joshua said "ok what is it?"

Jax said "are we dangerous?"

Jax said "The two of you are powerful and because of that you'll always be a little dangerous. But as long as you learn control, you probably never hurt anyone."

Thalia said "thank you for being honest."

"You're welcome."

Thalia said "I'll walk you out."

Joshua said "okay."

Jax said "bye Joshua."

Joshua said "bye" as he and Thalia walked outside. They stood outside the room.

Thalia kissed Joshua and said "thanks for answering our question."

"Your welcome."

Thalia said "bye" and walked back into the room.

Jax was laying down and said, "did you kiss him?"

"That's none of your business."

"I know that but you're gonna tell me anyway."

"Fine, I kissed him."

Jax said, "good for you sis now let's go to bed."

"Don't you want to eat first?"

"Sure." Jax and Thalia ate their food then went to sleep.
