Then there is Kira and Bruno’s two kids. Bria and Kirno. Bria is five and Kirno is two. Bria and Rune’s are best friends. You can’t separate them for a long period of time. We don’t know why that it. If they are away from each other more than a day. Their energy drains. Which has us all worried.
We still don’t know what Runes is, but she has gotten powerful. We think the Dragonfly magic seeped into her and she also has Sorceress powers. Those two combined makes one powerful being. We think the twins will be hybrids. We will find out when they turn nineteen.
Rome and Keva finally had a son, Roveo who is two. He is the spitting image of Rome, it’s almost scary. Just think in a few sun cycles he will be just like his father. It makes me feel sorry for whoever gets in their way.
Knox and Zora have a little girl that just turned one. Sera has the cutest little bouncy curls in her hair. She is going to be a heartbreaker when she grows up. Not to mention Knox is her dad. The boy better be worthy to even think about dating his daughter.
Brody and Veda just had a baby boy, Brycen. He is the last one to arrive as of right now.
Alums and Saffron are expected soon. From what Oceana can tell she is having twins as well. Saffron doesn’t want to know the sex’s until they arrive. Which makes shopping for them that much harder. But it’s her wishes and I support her. As soon as they were free and things settled down, they did the bonding ceremony.
Jax and Asher have been helping out a lot. Even with youngling duties. Isobel wants to wait for a few more cycles before they try to have their own youngling. She says he needs his practice.
Cicero and Delfina have moved up the mountain from us. They say they can watch us better up there. But we all know what they do all day every day. She will be the next one pregnant.
Errol and Kia are just now trying to have their first. They have been a huge help as well with all the younglings. When one of us need a break, they step up and take charge.
Aidian and Desiray are on an extended vacation. They wanted to visit as many places as they can before they settle down. Last I heard they were on Earth, I still haven’t visited yet. I will one day.
Brice and Clover live just down the street from us and are always over helping out. I don’t think I have cooked a meal ever. She is an amazing cook. Just like my mom. Lunches, on the other hand, I’ve made plenty. I can’t screw up sandwiches.
Gianni and Zoey. Kira’s parents. Live with Bruno and Kira. Gianni woke up not long after the Elders were gone. He told us he kept his wife Zoey safe by staying away from her and that the Elders tried everything to get our whereabouts from him. Lucky for him he had no idea. They were going to kill him soon if Asher didn’t get him out of there in time. Zoey hasn’t left the house much since she has been back. I think she still fears for her life. We make sure to include her as much as possible.
The rest of the pack have made themselves available to help out. We all live in Bavaria my hometown. We pretty much take up a five-block area.
As for the Salvation, they are no longer a force. We took them down within the first year. Those who wanted to, join us in the peace we are trying to offer. Once they proved themselves. The others are either dead or in prison. They were the ones who tried to kill me in my sleep. Their dark witch was powerful enough to get through to me.
As far as Kelso goes, we still don’t know where he stands. I think there is something else going inside his mind we don’t quite know what to think about. Some days he is fine other days he is a completely different person. We keep in contact with him as much as possible to let him know we are there for him.
We found the secret town of Nanom and got Brandy, Ghazel, and Mara out of there. We gave the people in the town an ultimatum. Either live peacefully or expect our wrath. So far, they haven’t given us any problems.
Bexley and Naya finally made up. All of their hated toward each other was over Niko of all dragons. Apparently, those three grew up together and they both had a crush on him. Naya went behind Bexley’s back and started to date him before he became pure evil. Bexley felt betrayed by Naya.
Slowly but surely life as we know it is going the way we want. There is less and less fear when we walk into town. There has also been some that have tried to take us on. Which has upset me the most. One day we will be at peace and evil will learn it’s lesson. Until that day comes we will protect the people living in Zilo. Now and forever.
