First Shift (Celestial Beings)

Catherine:

I left Luna in the restroom so that I can find Serenity. This game is getting really old she has ran from baths since birth. I give up after thinking of how much paperwork my mate and I have to go through to ensure that all packs have everything that they need to sustain a healthy pack and kingdom. Being king and queen of a whole race takes a lot of energy from you. I walk back to the bathroom trying to stop this stressful feeling I have in the back of my head "Luna hunny just go ahead and bathe before your water gets too cold we can find your sister later." I round the corner to pop my head into the girl's bathroom and I see that Luna is no longer there her water is still in the tub but it doesn't look like she has bathed. I have a nagging feeling in the back of my head plummets to the pit of my stomach and my wolf will not stop pacing in my mind. I know that something is happening but I can't get a feel for what it is. I run to my mate's office and mind link the guards on my way there to get together a search party quickly."Dear goddess please look over my girls"

Moon Goddess:

"The time has come, now it all begins. Nix ,Ellie come to me." Nix and Ellie now stand in the palace of the moon in front of the moon goddess with confusion written on their faces. One moment they are attempting to comfort their companions whom were writhing in pain and next thing they know they are here. "Nix, Ellie I have called you here because the twins are going through their first shift. You 2 are not permitted to be anywhere near them during this time. Only the family are to be there for the shift but as soon as they come to then you will meet them on the mesa and reestablish your bonds. This shift is the most important and will damage your connections with your charges. I cannot say much more than that other than training needs to be started and their training shall only be held on the mesa that I have blessed for them. That is the one and only rule I am setting. If my rule is broken I cannot cloak them and the dangers of the darkness will rise acknowledging their power as a threat. I know that you are attacked to them but you must wait until the transformation is complete before you return to the earth realm. Until then you two will stay here and do as you please. You can even watch over the twins to pass your time here. You will not get hungry or sleep unless you choose to do so in this realm. You may feel some pain due to the break in connection but t shall pass quickly.

Nix:

"Not to step out of line or be rude Goddess but why must we be separated from our charges in their time of need. This is when I would figure we are needed the most." Nix suppresses a screech of frustration to ensure that she doesn't sound as frustrated as she actually feels. "I know that I sound snarky but I am not only a protector but also a companion and I am having a hard time not attacking you. My Phoenix instincts are seeing you as a threat and an obstacle for attempting to keep me from Serenity." I put my head down to show submission after my comment knowing that this type of outburst could go either way and I would like it to go my way and have either an explanation for why I must stay away or just get to go to my companion I feel her pain but it is decreasing by the minute due to the breaking of the bond.

The moon goddess' features morphed from the crystal clear, smooth and sweet expression that is known to all that have come in the presence of the moon goddess into one of the deadliest killer faces. Dark hollowed out eyes replaced the green ones, the pearly white teeth were replaced by sharp fangs, and the pink tinted nails turned into pitch black talons with green magic glowing through them. She sneered at Nix with malice and the intent clear in her eyes that a lesson needed to be taught for disrespect shown today. Nix felt the heat of the goddess' anger and kept her head bowed. Ellie was frozen in place the only movement that she was able to do was to move her head slightly to see nix with her eyes on the floor and a terrified look that said I should have just kept my mouth shut. The tension was so thick in the air then there was a spark of electric that has both companions looking at the ground terrified for their lives knowing that the goddess was about to strike. The air was suffocating making it hard for them to breath. Taking short breaths was making them dizzy the lack of sufficient oxygen almost making them black out. Then their ears catch a a small sigh and they chance peaking up at the goddess through their lashes.

Moon Goddess:

"I am beyond angry at your blatant disrespect and your ability to not trust the goddess that gave you to your companions, but I cannot fully blame you Nix for I gave you strength and courage to stand up to any foe that could cause harm to your charge. With this in mind I am going to explain why you must heed my warnings to stay away." She releases her anger allowing them to take a deep breath of much needed air and reverted back to her Goddess state. You can physically see both protectors relax and take a deep breath releasing a sigh of relief. " My dear Phoenix if you are in the presence of either twin during their first shift their bodies will recognize you two as a their companions and protectors and will attempt to reaffirm your connection right away. The only problem with that is the girl's body's will be in a vulnerable state during the change. to put it bluntly the reaffirmation of your protection bond could cause the death of the twins and the destruction of the world as we know it. Their body must heal which is why after their shift they will be in a deep sleep once they awaken you will be able to see them and the bond will be reborn with barely any pain this time.

Nix:

"Thank you my goddess for not killing me and for stopping me from killing my charge." The shaking fear was translated well even through the mink link with the goddess. Nix swallowed the built up dread of almost dying.. Note to self never make our goddess mad.

Daniel:

My mate runs in my office with a scared look on her face as soon as she opens her mouth to tell me what is going on we hear loud and painful screams. I know all too well that those voices belong to, my girls. We rush outside with my closest guards following behind us. My beta Joshua yells out that he will protect the pack. Once the yelling stops we rely on their scents which is getting harder by the minute because for some reason it is changing. It still has their lily smell but it smells diluted with water and burning soil. We arrive at the border of our packs next to a pond and smell round . I send guards to spread out they can't be far their scents are strong here. I see a mesa up ahead and start to make my way to the top. Once there I see the girls and yell for everyone to come up and that I had found them. They are laying in a field of flowers surrounded by fireflies if it wasn't for them whimpering from pain I would have taken their heavy breaths as them taking a nap holding hands. Surrounding the girls was also a glowing light reminding me of the day they were born I looked at my mate and knew she was thinking the same thing. "Guards surround the top of the mesa and be sure that nothing gets up here. Catherine you get Luna and I'll get Serenity we need to get them home. We will find out later and punish them for being out here this close to the border and this late especially without their personal guards and their companions."

As Daniel and Catherine separated the girls they clung tighter to each other and once their hands separate they began to cry out in pain again. A whirlwind of glitter snatches the girls from the hands of their now stunned parents. They reach for each other again and the glitter changes form. The glitter around Luna turns into water enclosing her inside. Daniel attempts to run towards it to save his daughter and is knocked into a tree by a strong gust of wind. A force field was then seen forming around her and Serenity to stop any further interruptions. Daniel shakes off the blow and gets up just to see Serenity surrounded by fire. The water around Luna turns to an ice cocoon and the fire around serenity pulls in dirt and turns into hot magma and cools to a lava cocoon. Everyone stands there looking at the twins in their cocoons unsure of what is happening. Luna's usually emerald green eyes had more of a hazel swirl of blue and silver in them when she opened them. Her ice starts to melt and she reaches over and touches her sister's cocoon. Serenity's cocoon starts to crack and they are able to see that Serenity's normally earth green eyes has hazel mixed with brown and gold. Once both are free from their cocoons they are lowered to the ground and the force field disappears leaving two sleeping princesses. Daniel and Catherine run to the twins and pull them into their arms and held them and looked them over for any cuts bruises burns or frost bite, but is left with only different scents, slightly more mature looking twins and an aura that has all on the guards on their knees and the parents trying not to submit to their twins. Once satisfied that no physical harm was caused they take them back to the pack house and mind link the pack doctor to meet them in the girl's room. " They will never be allowed up here again." The scared father swore that to his family and pack.
