273 Family meeting

Uktena waits until everyone has disbursed for the night and the children are sleeping. He links his mind with the adults and ask them to come to his and Morrigan's garden. Morrigan goes to Steve HeJin and John in their dreams and brings them . Once everyone has arrived and have settled Uktena tells them why they are there. 

" since the leader showed his face, you need to be more careful. Luckily he was not able to sense any of you not even when Yona used his power. If he finds out about you or the children he will attack and the children are not ready. Crystal is close but the smaller ones will not be at full strength until they are at least thirteen. So what I am proposing is that you avoid using any power until they are ready. You can still train them but we will prepare the place. You cannot use the cabin, since it is a time slip even though it is protected it is not protected from fallen ones. The other thing is the hidden one, she is the first wife of Adam, she is the mother of demons. The father wants us to find where the leader has hidden her. She will be in the physical world, so she could be anyone. As we get information we can send you to the areas that we find. You jewelry will react if she is near, do not confront her we will take care of it we will only need for you to get in her vicinity and alert us. " Uktena finishes what he has to say not knowing how they will react. 

"Well then that means that the three of us can have a peaceful pregnancy and not worry about if we will place our new babies in danger." Salali states off handedly . She has been worried about Dove and her growing powers though she only sees spirits and can do spirit walks none of her gifts will place her in danger. Morrigan chuckles at Salali. 

"Yes that means that hopefully for the next six years will be quiet and the children can have normalcy in their lives for awhile . It is very important that they know that outside of the protected area they cannot use their gifts. If they alert a fallen one the leader will come and check for himself now that Uzil has left him. " Morrigan is proud of them and knows they will do what is right. Crystal enters the garden , no one is surprised by her appearance. Crystal has always been one to do as she pleased. She goes and sits between Marbas and Yona. Crystal asks Morrigan. 

"why can't grandfather just change his appearance? If magic won't work to fool the fallen ones what about a true physical change like plastic surgery. I know that grandmother may not like it but if we could change him just slightly then the fallen ones may not be able to recognize him. Especially since he will have the jewelry from  the father." Crystal knew that they would be discussing the events of earlier and she wanted to be apart of that discussion. 

"We just got grandmother and grandfather back along with our uncle . Us children talked about it already and none of us want to lose them again. Since the fallen ones won't be able to tell who they are by their blood as long as they have their jewelry. Why don't we just change their appearance. Then that way it won't matter where they go. I know that fallen ones can see through glamour spells but can they notice physical changes such as plastic surgery?" Crystal looks at the adults and notice that none of them thought of it. Saying a silent thanks to Tanis fir her suggestion. Aisling looks at Crystal and smiles . 

"Let me Guess Tanis suggested it. I know it had to be her because she is always asking Debra to allow her to change her looks because she hates being an identical twin. Though it is not a bad idea if it will work, remember that celestial beings can change their looks with just a thought and it is stronger than the glamour spell. Their bodies are different than ours. " Aisling reminds her ,Crystal sighs and then smiles. 

"The father told me I could ask for anything in the future awhile back. I have never used my favor yet. I could ask him to alter grandfather and Molimo's appearance in a way that a fallen one cannot detect. Then that way it will not matter where they go. They will be safe." Uzil looks at the child Speechles. It is no easy task to gain a favor from the father. This child must have done something selfless and of pure heart to gain such a thing. His heart aches at the thought she would give up a favor like this to protect him. Uzil looks at her lovingly. 

"Crystal my dear child I am grateful that you would use such a gift from the father on my behalf. I cannot ask you to do it though. If in the future you need it you will not have it. It could mean saving someone you love." Uzil has never has anyone stand by him before and these people have despite his wrong doings against them. The garden is filled with a bright golden light , the father has arrived to speak to them. 

"My darling child ,Crystal you need not use your favor for what you are proposing. I will willingly do this to protect Uzil and Molimo. They are my children also and it is my job to keep them safe as well. I will make it so that outsiders of any kind will see someone different than who they are. To you and to the family only they will appear as they are. That way Woya and the younger children will not be alarmed. To anyone else they will appear as if they are your fathers blood. They will resemble the people of your family. Uzil you will appear as an older man one if Woya's age. And Molimo will be as others his age. Since he is Nephilim he has aged slower . That ways they will fit in and blend with their surroundings. Unless they would like to appear as Aisling's family so that there is no chance of resemblance between Uzil and Uktena. I will do what is needed. " The fathers voice is soft and compassionate as he speaks. Normally he has a commanding voice but not this day. Uzil kneels and tells the father. 

" it matter not to me whom I look like to outsiders as long as those near yo my heart will just see me. Thank you father for your grace upon me and my son." Uzil feels a hand on his shoulder and their before him is the father in his true form. All have disappeared but him and the father. Uzil is alarmed because no one has ever seen the father in his true form. 

"Do not be alarmed you are in no danger here. I wanted to just reassure you and to let you know that when you find the hidden one you are not to kill her. She is to be handed over for her judgment. She has harmed many without any remorse or care. To kill her would not be a punishment for her. It is my fault she exists and was able to move the fallen ones to revolt. It is I who will punish her. I wanted to also tell you to not fear of physical touch. You will not harm those around you, had Jax not gotten into your mind and twisted it things would have been very different. Gaurd your mind and heart well , do not be easily swayed in the future. For if you do you will put the ones you are starting to love harm. Follow their example and talk to me often as in prayer it will keep your mind and heart clear. Tell me about all of your troubles and your happiness. Through this our bond will grow and you will be more clear about what is right and wrong. When you need an ear on earth talk to John or Steve they are well versed in my word. Aisling is a good person to talk to as well. Go now and return to them help them and allow them to help you." In a blink the Father was gone and Uzil was back with the others in the garden. John stands and tells everyone. 

" It is time for me to go back, I find when I am here for more than a few moments that I do not wish to leave. Morrigan thank you for always giving me strength and peace when I visit . My wife wanted me to tell you that your gift is on the kitchen table ready for you." Morrigan smiles and takes Steve , John and HeJin back. When she sees John sleeping peacefully she goes to the kitchen. There in the center of the table is her gift. Johns wife had made her favorite fresh peach ice cream and pie. Taking the two dishes she goes back to share with the others . When she arrives back to the garden only Marbas and Uktena is there. Sitting beside the water the three enjoy the gift Johns wife made. 

"I must say I am surprised by how things are. Morrigan you are a fierce warrior a goddess no less and yet they treat you as a treasured member of their family instead of with the fear and respect as in the past. " Marbas tells her. 

"The greatest gift isnt respect out of fear, it is respect born of love. You will feel it soon as Crystal has forgiven you and is starting to love you. As her love grows her walls will come down and as they fall so will her fear. When you feel her true loving heart for the first time you will understand." Morrigan tells him , she is looking forward to the day that both Marbas's and Uzil's hearts fully thaw and feel the true warmth of love.
