CHAPTER 23: THE CELEBRATION.

1 month later...(after the gifted were led back into the realm with the help of Cerberus)

The December dinner party was finally here, with people in their pretty outfits and the smell of finger foods and cakes is overwhelming. The Avalon event/gathering hall way looking colourful with free, white and red beautifying the place. Even the individuals added colours to the hall. The feeling of excitement and happiness was more than usual this year due to their recent victory. The gifted were at ease bad very free as they were all about chatting, eating, drinking different fruit juices, dancing to the slow soothing sounds. Finally, Theux clinks the glass of his champagne with a small desert spoon to call the attention of the packed hall.

With his elegant all white suit, he spoke," indeed, this is a day of celebration . We do not only celebrate the last month of this year but also the fall of Felix and his evil plans. Let's make a toast." He raised his glass a little high over his head making the crowd do the same.

He continues, " A toast to no Felix and a rest of mind." After clinking of glasses together, each person with a glass of drink takes a sip before cheering as a way of expressing enthusiasm.

Later on, the leaders of the realm and taskforce are called forward to be honored and praised by all gifted in the hall. They are each given warrior marks on their forearms. They each had two symbols, one that resembled an upside-down V with a thick dot under (represents courage) and the other, a description of their elements.

The trolls had a description of Earth, the faeries; a description a flower, dragons; description of flames, Toban; description of big blue waves of water and werewolves; a description of the face of a werewolf. They were inscripted by magic spells carried out by Gangola.

After the celebration came to an end, Reebabo had came before the crowd with a stern look. He spoke," I'm here to address a serious matter."

The crowd becomes very quiet creating a very serious and tensed atmosphere.

Reebabo continues,"we all know the number one rule to being a gifted, no relationship of whatsoever, with the humans. As a leader,you are a representative of the gifted beings and therefore, you must obey the rules that protect the people. Reebabo then calls out Koven and he comes out bowing his head.

"I hereby strip you of your leadership duties and for a month, you would stand as a guard to the werewolf portal. You will move out of the leader cabin and stay overnights in the normal cabins. Reelora will be also strip you off some of your abilities and powers for this same duration of a month. So no transformations for now."

Everyone gasps and there are mumurs from all corners of the room.

"Koven, we are the immortals and we have decided that your child and the mother may be allowed into the realm if they so desire. We will not deprive you of the relationship you already started. This is an example to all that when rules are broken, there are consequences. Keira will be the new leader of the werewolves." Reebabo concludes and leaves the attention of the beings.

The tension is reli bed when the song continues and the crowd carries out t their last dance before the dinner closes.

( What a punishment, Am I right? Apparently every rule broken has a consequence.)
