EIGHT YEARS EARLIER….
Mila and Bebe were proud mothers. Both of their sons had graduated, and were now men. Both destined for great things. They had worked for weeks to prepare for this celebration. A celebration for their sons. So many were here. Aniceta arrived from the island, with Tiberius father, Sully. The Goth’s, and even Mila’s cousin came with his husband. As Mila watched her brother hugging his son, she could see how proud Michael was of Joseph. Not only was this a celebration of them graduating, but their beginning of their work in the Realm. Tiberius was being groomed to replace her as the Realm Master, and Joseph as his Administrative Assistant, working to continue to bring cooperation throughout the realm and the world. The work her father, and her had begun. She knew once the time came for her to pass on the legacy, that they would honor the work of their ancestors.
BEBE- “Look at them, Mila! Who would have thought when they were disobeying us, and making potions in their bedroom, that this day would come, and we would be so proud of them.”
MILA- “Yes, time does have a way of changing things. And Joseph has Colin, and Ty has Lena. Soon we will be having weddings right here in this yard.”
BEBE- “And then grandchildren!”
MILA- “Well, you may have grandchildren, but Ty is not able----”
BEBE- “Science can assist them in that now, Mila. Trust me, I see grandchildren in your future.”
MILA- “You’ve been married to a witch so long, you are starting to sound like one! Right now, I guess we need to worry about that cake, we should go and bring it out. We can talk about grandchildren, when it happens!”
On the other side of the yard, Sully is reacquainting himself with his son. It had been at least four years since the last time he saw him face to face….
SULLY- “So are you going to take a break before returning to Alexandria?”
TIBERIUS- “Maybe just the summer. I thought maybe I could come and stay with you and Aniceta for the summer, what do you think?”
SULLY- “We would love to have you, it has been a while since you have been on the island. A lot has changed since your Grandfather relinquished control and left the island.”
TIBERIUS- “Has anyone heard from him? Do you know where he is?”
SULLY- “Actually he is back on the island, but it’s like he is a different person, Ty. He says very little and is not involved in any of the coven business at all. He took another room at the coven house and we see him very little if at all”
TIBERIUS-”Don’t you think that sounds a little odd. I mean that is not him at all. Did he say where he went, and what he was doing?”
