feel we need to be a part of this not only for us, but also as you said, to not stand down from a fight, especially not one with the stakes so high.”
     
    “I know, but forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but think of the importance of maintaining the pure bloodline as long as you can. It has always been the way. And, in a way, as I said, you have an obligation to that as well, to future generations.”
     
    “I suppose we do,” Edward agreed, though half-heartedly, his face fallen, his eyes having gone dark with worry. “I don’t like it though. It goes against my nature in a way. I am an honorable man though, and that is what makes doing the right thing so hard, to see which is the true right way.”
     
    “I guess we should stay. I will hate it. I hated being here last time, though no one saw that one coming in time for us to get there. To be here worrying again, about all of you,” Catherine said, the few lines on her face deepening. “I can feel it, but I must ask anyway, to hear it. You are all in agreement with what Lex said?”
     
    Each Royal sitting there in his or her own way gave their full consent to agreement with Lex’s argument. I could see how this taxed both Edward and Catherine, and felt the need to weigh in myself, to help where I could when I could. This assignment was nothing compared to what would be asked of me in the near future.
     
    “It is just as rough a job,” I spoke up. “I know from experience what it was like to be separated from Lex, to feel him in pain and suffering, while I had to wait out going to save him, being limited in my abilities at the same time. The standing back is just as hard, but sometimes just as important. In my case, I couldn’t risk Lex’s life by going off and running into battle. Different than your situation, but I gave into what was best for the majority, fought every instinct I had to take off after him on a passionate whim that would have only endangered him. So, I know what it is to hold back, to wait, to do the right thing by doing nothing. It will be hard. Just as hard as fighting, which I think may be the easier position.”
     
    “Thank you dear,” Catherine said. “You are a blessing to this family. It has been an honor to train you. You are ready for this, even if you are worried about leaving your teachers this first time out.  It is natural.  We wanted to be there for you too. Another reason we’d wanted to go. But, we will stay, as Lex suggested, as you all want, knowing you will do well to end this battle on your own, each of you so skilled, such amazing people in your own ways You will work as a unit to bring an end to this man and his crusade. When it is over, if any of you find a way, please let our plans to help these true wolves be known.”
     
    Each of us agreed, and the topic of conversation changed to those plans, a more positive note. Edward and Catherine explained their plans for a training center, promising to obtain the land the minute we left for the states. Many volunteered to be trainers there, but the whole idea of having an olive branch to extend once this battle was over to the true werewolves gave the whole battle a better feel, a better spin. To have hope, any light at the end of what would surely be a dark and bloody tunnel helped.
     
    “Once we get to the property, we will meet again with our sorcerer now, well Edward’s grandfather,” Catherine said, pushing food around on her plate with a fork as the rest of us methodically chewed and swallowed at a slow pace.
     
    “While I am next in line to be the sorcerer,” Edward said, “with grandfather’s ailing health that has him bedridden, I still have been spending as much time possible, as you know, gaining every last bit of wisdom from him that I can before we lose him. He has had good ideas as to this process of not only breaking the true werewolf curse, but on just what we need to change of our own werewolf spell to make it work on
