Valex interlocked his fingers together and used it as a sort of stand as he rested his chin on top of them. With a sigh he then said," Have you heard, they teachers are looking to us to be their "aids" for the class?" He hated that because of his "gift" he was expected to help deal with everyone who couldn't control their own powers.
Lulu chuckled as she looked down at Sprig and said," Oh believe me brother, I felt the same when I was bringing him into the world." A devilish smirk then plastered itself on her face as she looked at her brother and asked," So tell me you two, when are you going to have one of your own?"

Diantha smiled as Rye and Lulu talked. But then, at Lulu’s question the elven woman’s face went very red and she buried her face in Rye’s shirt. How could she say they’d been trying for a baby, it just hadn’t happened yet? It was such an uncomfortable topic, and in front of the kingdom’s Queen and King! She decided it would be. Enter to let Rye speak, she was too nervous now.
Revelation watched as Diantha suddenly went red and he smirked a little bit. Clearly there was something there.
Scover blinked in surprise and his eyes shimmered a bit. “Wait what? Just because we have some magic control we’re expected to… to…. Babysit?!” He said softy through gritted teeth. Despite liking to learn and being willing to help he still valued his work and having to be saddled with additional duties wasn’t his ideal way to spend a class period.

Rye knew this question was coming but had expected to hear it from Luna or Jay. He blushes a little and clears his throat. "Well, Diantha and I have been giving it some thought. There may or may not be a baby in the future." In truth, he was terrified but wouldn't mind having a little own to hold in his arms.

William listened to what Paul said about the magic council and their members, storing the information in the back of his mind for possible use in the future. “Whoever had the idea to form the council, they were or are very wise. However, I have seen and heard of similar councils or groups dissolve into chaos and corruption, members going mad from seeking too much power, infighting amongst the members, the group trying to become the governing body of the land, etc. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen here.” He commented
The man led the group of horsemen onto a farm a little bit aways from their final destination, and slid off of the saddle, landing on his feet. William first instructed the farmer to put the horses in a pen, then turned to the rest of the men. “We walk from here. We can’t let the horses be too close, or the raiders will here them and know that somebody is nearby. The horses pulling the wagon will come, once we unload the wagon, you can bring it back here, and walk back to where we will be waiting.” William said, pointing to the man who was driving the wagon. “Let’s go.” He said, and started walking.

"I doubt it, only a few former members have gone a little overboard." Paul didn't fully understand it himself but the council had a strict code that they all followed and they kept one another in line. Some say the god of magic and power kept them in line. Paul relaxes a bit when they reached their destination and climbs off of his horse. He takes a moment to stretch his limbs and takes a deep breath of air and exhales.
The smell of fire, smoke and overall burning was much stronger now. He lets out a huff the strong smell of fire making his nose act up. He listens to William talk and decides to follow him. He lets out a low growl ready to shift and leap into the fight.

Valex shrugged and said," It can't be helped, the two of us have natural dispositions when it comes to raining in other magic. At least be happy they hadn't saddled you with helping indicate what each students affinities are and general level." At this point he was used to being used as a sort of tool to make the higher ups lives easier.
Lulu sighed as she said," Ah, I was so hopping that Sprig would have a little cousin on the way for him to play with." She then smiled as she said," But if you two aren't ready for one just yet I wouldn't blame you, these things are a lot of hard work."

After walking close to two miles, William led the group to their destination. Before them sat the rocky outcropping. It was mid afternoon, the raiders haven’t arrived yet, giving them time to set up their trap. “Unload the wagons and get into position!” William instructed, telling the men where to go and where to place the supplies. As the strong, cold wind raged on, William said “Do not light any fires for warmth, or else they will see the smoke. Just wrap yourselves in your cloaks.” He then turned to Paul and said “When they get here, wait and stay patient. Once a few swordsmen take out the guards and pour oil around the camp, wait for them to get clear, then have the archers fire a volley of flaming arrows down below to light the oil.”
After all the men were in position, and the wagon driver was back, the group lay down close to the ground around the rocky outcropping, waiting for the men to approach. It was pitch black when William heard footsteps echoing down below, and torches came into view, lighting up a few feet around the approaching men. William sat hidden at the other end of the road with the group of swordsmen, and he knew Paul was above him somewhere at the top of the rocks with the archers. The raiders started to set up camp, and William sat motionless, waiting them out.

Marcus and his men began to set up camp, sharing their wealth and bragging about their kills. Off to the side were some hostages that they decided to keep for their own amusement. Marcus felt good about today's raids and hoped to tackle bigger cities and recruit/ force the local bandits to join them. In his mind, they could eventually do what their foolish emperor could not! Marcus settles down on a nearby log and asks one of his men to bring him some ale.
Paul crouched with the archers and keeps a close eye on the raiders. He waited patiently for William to give the signal. Paul hoped he could jump in and join in on the fighting.

Diantha continued to hide her face in her beloved husband’s shoulder and she smiled softly. She was glad Lulu understood. She eventually peeled herself away from Rye and instead took his hand again.
Revelation chuckled and nodded in agreement to his wife. “Yes, children are a handful.” He said. He then turned to his son and smiled, rubbing his head gently. “But not you, right Sprig? You’d never make mommy and daddy’s lives difficult.” He said, voice dropping with sarcasm for the adults.
Scover huffed and nodded. “Yes I guess that’s true… I’m sorry you had to live that way, Valex.” The boy said, waiting for their teacher to arrive. He just hoped the teacher wouldn’t make a big deal of he and Valex’s abilities and what they’d be doing.

Lulu chuckled as she once again bounced the little boy and said," Oh never, he is always a complete angel for us." She then looked at Diantha and asked," Would you like to hold him for a second Diantha, I am sure he would love to get to know his new aunt?"
Valex shrugged and said," It isn't anything that I am not used to." He then watched as an older women, presuming the teacher, walked into the room. She cleared her throat and said," Good morning children, I am your instructor for magic control 101 Mrs. Hardwitch." She then pointed at Scover and Valex and said," I will also be assisted by a couple of your fellow classmates."

Diantha looked up as her sister-in-law asked if she wanted to hold Sprig. The elf instantly nodded and walked over. “Oh I’d love to, but only if Sprig is okay with it.” She said, leaning down to be closer to Sprig’s level. She then covered her eyes with her hands in a brief game of peekaboo.
Scover instantly blinked at the teacher’s name and barely restrained himself from snickering. He hoped that was a name the teacher used herself and not her actual family name. He then stalled as the teacher so blatantly pointed he and Valex out and he grunted softly. “I jinxed it…” he muttered.

Valex groaned and said," This is why I often choose to keep my mouth shut, so stuff like this doesn't happen." The other students all began to complain about what made them so special. Mrs. Hardwitch clapped and said," Those two boys have special traits that will be of great help incase any of you should lose control of your magic during are lessons."

Sprig watches as the woman walks over and gets close to him. When her face disappeared, he is suddenly confused and looks over at his parents. Where did she go?
Rye watches them he was curious to see if Sprig would allow Diantha to hold him or not. "I know he is still young but do you think he will develop some magic powers?"

Lulu looked at Rye and with a smile and said," Well with his father being the fairy king and me being who I am, I would not put it past him."

Scover sighed and rolled his eyes, making sure the teacher didn’t see him while the students were complaining. He decided to wait and let the teacher explain and, if needed, then he’d show what he’d be responsible for doing.
Revelation smiled as Diantha started playing peekaboo and Sprig got confused. He lightly pointed back to where Diantha was. Rev nodded in agreement to Lulu about Sorig possibly having powers in the future. “Yes I wouldn’t be surprised either. But I think we’ll be okay as long as he didn’t inherit Lulu’s rebellious streak.” He said playfully.
Diantha peeked through the cracks in her fingers and watched as Sprig looked at his parents for help. She smiled a bit and waited until Sprig was looking at her again before pulling her hands away from her face. “Peekaboo!” She said happily.

Lulu turned her head to face Rev and said," You are lucky that I hope the same thing Rev or you would be in trouble for that. Besides I know are daughter when born will have that."
Mrs. Hardwitch motioned for the two boys to come down as she said," These two have been endowed with the powers to see your magic types and level in the case of young Valex, while young Rev can a halt any spell."

Sprig stares in surprise before giggling and clapping his hands together.
Luna looks over at Rye. "We were on our way to the kitchen to grab a quick snack. You and Diantha should join us! You can tell us everything about your journey."
Rye places his hand on his stomach. "I am feeling a little hungry." However, he wouldn't dare pass up a chance to have some food from the royal cooks. "Is that okay with you love?"

Revelation chuckled and nodded. “Yes I realize.” He said with a chuckle, watching as Sorig lit up as Diantha played peekaboo with him. “Awww that is so cute.” He said happily.
Diantha smiled brightly as Sorig giggled and clapped. “You like that Sprig?” She asked happily, covering her eyes again before quickly removing them again. “Peekaboo!” She said. She glanced at Rye when he asked her about food. “That’s a great idea Rye. I’m hungry too.” She said, then looking back to Sprig. “Now them little man, would you let me hold you?” She asked, holding out her hands to Sprig.
Scover blinked as he and Valex were prompted to go to the front. He sighed softly and glanced at Valex before getting up and moving to descend the stairs to the floor. He hated moments like these, being the center of mass attention.

Sprig holds his hand out to Diantha eager for her attention. He liked her a lot and wanted her to keep talking to him.
Luna smiles and starts leading the group towards the dining hall. She motions for Nova and Hawke to follow and to try and not trip Rye. The boys were excited and wanted to ask Rye a million questions.

Valex walked with Scover down to where the teacher was and just stood there. Mrs. Hardwitch then put a hand on each of the boys shoulders and said," Now after I am fished with this little introduction you all will be examined by these two to see what your level and magic affinity is." She then looked at the two and asked," That won't be a problem now boys?"
Lulu smiled at Dianthe and could see that Sprig wanted to interact with her more. So in seeing this she passed Sprig over to her sister in-law and said," It would seem that he likes you."

Diantha grinned as Sprig reached out to her and she quickly moved and lightly lifted the toddler into her arms. "Oh hello there little man, how are you?" She asked happily, bouncing Sprig a little in her arms while continuing to follow after her larger family.
Jay smiled and watched as Nova followed Rye, quickly latching his small hand onto Rye's bigger hand. "Big brother..." The six year old said happily.
Scover just nodded quietly as Ms. Hardwitch addressed them. "I'll do my best to support Valex." He replied, knowing Valex would be doing most of the work for the class, at least for today.

Sprig giggles and claps his hands excitedly. He looked over at his parents and waved at them before turning his attention back to Diantha.
"Yes what is it?" Rye asked looking down at his little brother.

Diantha smiled and continued to interact with little Sprig, trying to keep him entertained while they walked. “Who’s the cutest little mister? That’s right, or you!” She said happily, lightly tickling Sprig’s belly with her free hand.
Nova grinned as Rye looked down at him and he shrugged, the laughed. “I’m just happy you’re back!” He said, bouncing a little bit on his feet.
Jay looked back at his family and just smiled proudly. “This is so amazing. I’m surprised the boys took to Diantha and Rye so quickly especially after they’d been gone.” He said softly to Luna.

Hawke nodded his head in agreement.
"I don't blame them. As much as I love Dante, he usually keeps to himself and avoids the triplets. I think Rye is someone they know and overall approachable." Luna explained. "Plus they were pretty young the last time, they all Rye."
Sprig laughs even harder at this. Rye smiles warmly as he imagines Diantha doing that with their own child. He was starting to develop a little bit of baby fever.

Lulu walked up To her elder brother and in a quite voice so only he could hear her said," I know that look elder brother, you where picturing her with a child of your own."
Valex sighed as gave a small nod which Mrs. Hardwitch happily clapped her hands and said," Well with that out of the way I say we move onto the next part. If all of you will line up we will find out type and level of everyone." She then handed a paper to Valex as the other students begrudgingly got in line.

Rye snaps out of his thoughts and looks over at Lulu in surprise. "What are you a mind reader now?" He asked half joking and half serious. Last thing he wanted was his little sister peering into his mind.
