simply allowed them to see the consequences of their actions if they continue to follow orders they know are not right. And I have not only found father, but am also leading him towards us,” he as he held out his hand to her.
    Tricia cried harder, unable to stop the flow of tears at seeing her beautiful child become more than she had ever dreamed possible. She always knew he was special, even if others just couldn’t see it.
    “My baby . . .” she choked out before she took his strong hand and launched herself into his arms.
    Tricia felt and heard his deep chuckle as he held her tightly for a moment before gently pulling back from her.
    “I can’t stay like this for long. This form, in this realm, is still very unstable and the energy still foreign to me. I need to conserve the energy I am controlling until we need it the most. We are not done here,” he said, trying to make her understand.
    Tricia choked for a second on her tears and the air she was trying to get into her lungs, before she nodded her head.
    “I understand, baby. We need to get your father and the others,” she said as she watched his form get brighter before he shimmered back into the little boy she loved so dearly.
    She pulled the child into her arms and rained kisses on his face and head, him allowing it for the first time. She sniffed back her tears as her little boy pulled away, grabbed her hand and pulled her past the still-silent hybrids.

    Within a thousand mile radius of that mountain, hundreds of children labeled disabled awoke in the early morning hours and began rocking, humming, and gesticulating wildly in the air. Each child used their movements to weave and gather the energy around them before sending it towards the mountain. Undetectable by the human eye, tiny golden wings emerged on each child as they manipulated the energy in the realms they commanded.
    Soon the energy had spread, each child “lighting up” and sending a call to those near them who did the same until there were thousands of children around the world, unbeknownst to their parents and caregivers, simultaneously calling the energy to aid the warrior child, leader of the light bringers.
    The awakening of the light-bringers had begun.

    By the time Leif found True, she was cornered in someone’s bedroom caught trying to steal a weapon. He walked in the door, stupidly thinking things were under control, when he was dropped to his knees by the large fireball that nailed him perfectly in the groin.
    If the pain of the hit hadn’t been bad enough, he emitted a series of unmanly yelps and shrieks as he smacked at his own crotch to try and put out the flames. By the time the fire was out, he was on his back in pain and in no mood for his damn crazy mate and her flaming temper.
    He was getting ready to flip over on his stomach when he heard a giggle to his left, where a security team member was cowering behind a chair, trying to avoid the literal firefight occurring in the room.
    “What?” he roared in anger.
    The woman giggled.
    “Did you get the fire man-scaping on the front to match the back?” she whispered.
    “Damn it!” Leif roared, irritated as hell. Not only was his junk singed and sore, but this whole damn thing was going to make him the kind of legend he didn’t want to be.
    He stood, voiding non-stop to try and keep the flames to a minimum, and stared at the frustrating but beautiful woman who only looked more angelic in her anger. He snorted, trying not to succumb to the crazy woman’s beauty. She was a she-demon and nowhere near an angel.
    “You!” he said angrily as he stalked towards her.
    True smirked, waiting for him to stop waving his hands around so she could nail him again.
    “Oh look! The little bitch who thinks he’s my mate is here! Gonna drug me again because you can’t play fair? Where is Grai, you little puke?” True asked angrily, her voice rising until she was yelling.
    Leif had about all he was going to take for now.
