I Am The Luna

28. An Hourglass or I Am The Luna Chapter 106 By Moonlight Muse

ZAIA.

Night has fallen and I’m sitting in the lounge with Jai, Valerie, and Atticus whilst the children play before the fire.

“So we don’t really know how much is needed… or exactly how to use it,” Atticus says as he examines the pouch.

Rain is pouring down outside, and it’s rather windy. Somehow, it reminds me of the day I met Sebastian again when I first found out Valerie was in a coma…

Oh, how that feels like so long ago. I nod as I sip my coffee, and Sia comes over and climbs into my lap, hugging me tightly.

“Hey baby, is everything ok?” I ask her. She nods. “I just a little tired,” she says with a cute pout, and I kiss her forehead gently, caressing her hair.

“Aww, well Mommy will get you to bed soon, ok?”

She nods, placing her hand under her chin as she leans against me. I wrap my arms comfortingly around her. “I wonder how much is needed.” Jai muses staring at the pouch. We’re speaking French as the children are here.

“I don’t know, but I don’t think we would need much. I guess it’ll be trial and error. As in, would we need a name or not? Do we need to do it under a full moon or not?” I muse.

“We will just have to follow our gut feeling,” Atticus says.

“So, what now?” Valerie asks.

I look into the fire as Zion plays with his trucks, lost in his own little world. Times like that are gone once you are an adult, but I am grateful that through this time they can still be children, despite the fact I am certain they know when things are up.

“One month. In one month, I want everyone to be ready for war. In that time, I will find the enemy… and we will attack…” I say quietly.

“That gives us plenty of time to find out how it works… plus I want to try to find father before then…” I say quietly.

“Sounds like a plan,” Atticus says.

“I want to train though, if you could help me,” I say, looking over at him. The boys look at me, surprised, and I raise my eyebrow. “I just want to be at my best for when we do face them.”

“Me too,” Valerie says with determination.

“Well, I think we can train you guys up.
