"No, but it is possible for them to become a part of my clan so that they carry the name of my clan. Their ancestors will not know that they are a part of a warlock clan. I think that will be okay." Cedric looks into her eyes that were staring into hers.

Lyla stands up and hugs Sephira, "Whatever you choose I will join to follow your guys. I was spared and allowed to live. I will use the remaining life I have to serve those that saved me."

"But I did not take part in the saving mission. I was not allowed to participate. I was stuck here on the ship. Sephira frowns and looks at Lyla confused.

"I do not think that it is that Seffie. It is the fact that you are one of us and that you are her trainer." Yuki touched Cedric and took him off of the ship and into a forest. She looked around and saw that it would be perfect for them. "What do you think of this area?"

Cedric looked at the woods and looked at the trees. He walked a little way and reached a cave. He stepped inside and conjured a flame to light the way through the cave. He touches the walls and looks back at her. "What exactly are you thinking of doing here?"

"There is going to be a time in our lives where we will need to hide. I remembered that this place has underground tunnels and would make the most perfect hideout. I only thought of it when I saw my aunts." She stepped into the cave and danced in the lit room and touched the ground and smiled. "It is nice to be within my element."

Cedric nodded his head and placed a hand on the wall. 'Thy shall be the shelter we seek to hide from sight. Thy will protect us in our need, in the time where it is needed. Barrier of wind I call upon thy to protect this place from unwanted guests.' HE feels his magic start to form a barrier around the place and looks at the wall. "This will be perfect and now no one will disturb us here. We can work on decorating this place as you see fit but right now you had wanted to go to check up on where the book we recovered came from the cave."

Yuki danced over to Cedric and touched his cheek. "You weakened yourself but that is okay. This is going to be a place that we live in and there is nothing that will make me happier about it. I will take us to the next place. Please understand that this place is different and may have my picture posted but I gave them permission." She touches Cedric's arm and takes him deep into the mountains. She steps through a barrier and drags Cedric alone with her. She steps up to the wooden barn-like doors and opens them up. She notices that it is eerily quiet.

Cedric followed her and looked around and the first thing he sees is a spot that was cleaned and the stretch of cleaner in the air. "I do believe that someone managed to survive. If you look at the ground you can see that there are patches of clean spots."

Yuki at Cedric's words looks down and sees what he sees and sighs. She closes her eyes and listens and finds six hearts beating. "You are right. Six survived. I am glad that they did. It must be hard to clean this up. I thought that it was strange that I did smell blood." She walks to the staircase and moves up the stairs. She touches the railings and moves upwards; she stops and looks at Cedric. She pulls on a rope to show him the picture.

Cedric watched the portrait come to light and Yuki was sitting on the throne and he was next to her in the background. "How did they get me in the picture?"

"They thought that I should have someone that was strong in the background. At the time my memories had been wiped but someone here had a picture of the two of us and this is the result. I think that it turned out rather well. What do you think?" Yuki looked at the picture before her expression softened.

"That is remarkable that someone from here had that picture of us. I am thankful that they added me in the painting." Cedric walked closer and touched the bottom of the painting.

"Your excellency! We are sorry that we did not greet you right away." A female bowed to Yuki right away.

"It is good to see that you're alive and well Ivy. Please rise and explain to me what happened in my absence." Yuki watched the girl carefully.

"It was horrible what happened but a group stormed us while we were napping. As you can tell they stormed in through the front and started killing those that were standing guard and more guards came. The intruder alert went off. I ran and grabbed the two young ones and took them to the shelter. We stayed down there for two weeks. Three others had joined me in the shelter before it was sealed from the outside." Ivy was looking at Yuki and she shook her head.

"Have you checked the other shelters to see if anyone else made it?" Yuki waited to hear the answer.

"We did. After two weeks we came out to the bloodshed and the guard that sealed our shelter was dead right in front of the door. We took the children to their rooms and helped them settle down. I volunteered to check the rest of the place. I found that the tablet was stolen but they were not able to break our altar. There was blood everywhere and when I got to the other shelters some of the people were killed inside of them. I think we survived because the guard stood there and made sure that we were safe. There is one shelter that I cannot get into. Your excellence if you do not mind can you open the way for me?" Ivy bowed again waiting for a reply.
