80 Dreams of lost memories2

Astila arrives back at the house, going upstairs he takes his suitcase to grab his pajamas . He wants to shower and try to sleep. Without realizing it he goes straight to a room. As if he has been going to this room for a long time. He sits on the bed to try to think about what his dream at the hospital was about. Laying down on the bed he falls asleep. He sees a girl her appearance keeps changing first she is the girl he found unconscious. Then she is a Cherokee dressed in clothes from the time of trail of tears. Then a stunning blonde dressed in pre colonial. Who is this woman who changes so much.

Back at the hospital Aisling is still unconscious her family sitting next to her. In truth she is laying beside a beautiful stream remembering a time before. She sees all of her ancestors before her each coming to tell her their story. First comes Willow she had a twin die at birth. She is a waif like girl. Very quiet in speech.

"At my birth my sibling was born dead I remember I had dreams of him draining my life's essence. That I would have had to use my gift to kill him. Then one day a man came and the dreams stopped. I asked my mom about my dream. She told me that my twin was still born and that I barely was able to survive. That a man came and told her of a kind woman who sacrificed her life to save our line from a horrible curse. That if she had not done so ,we would have had a tortuous life. That because of her I would live and never regret my life. If you are her thank you because of you I lived a very happy life without the pain of killing my brother. " She bowed to Aisling and waked back through the woods only for someone else to appear. This time Aisling could not understand why but her heart jumped in joy of seeing her.

"Hello my dear we meet again . I told you that things could change. I am sorry though that , I did not realize that the one we would have to defeat was our original bloodline . " Moll looks at her and waves her hand. There are scenes from her time with her in the cabin. Aisling smiles as she sees Inola and her together.

"I remember now . I do not need to see more. I just don't know what choice to make. Please can you help me?" Moll hugs her tightly and tells her

"I am sorry only you can decide on what path you will take. I have fond memories of you watching you grow when My fate was interwoven with yours . Also of teaching you what you would need to know. Only Ingrid,Ester,Willow,Maureen and I remember what you did. Why because it was our fates that changed. Willow did not have to kill her brother to survive. For he was not meant to live anyway. I did not have to run in fear because of betrayal but got to come here happily. The Same with Maureen . We remember both fates because we got the privilege of teaching you and helping you. Our fates will not change if you remember. We will be able to choose a new fate as a reward for helping you though . I will let you rest and think for awhile longer. Search your heart and decide." With that Moll turned to leave. Aisling stops her.

"If I choose to remember will you get to choose to be with Inola ?" She turns and smiles at her.

"That is a possibility, you remember my first fate was not so happy even though I did not get arrested and threatened to be burned at the stake I did not get to meet my soulmate. " this time she turns and does not look back.

Aisling calls for Morrigan. She appears quickly .

"Are you ready or do you have more questions?" She sits with her, watching her to see what she will ask.

"The ones who helped me, will they get to choose what fate they wish to remember and which path they want to take as well. It's not fair that I get to choose but they do not. " Morrigan smiles at her and pats her hand .

"I knew you would think of them as well, that is why when I they were endangered. I came to them and asked if they wanted the curse of the family ended. As a reward when the time came they could do so. Only if you agreed as well . So should I call them so you may ask them yourself?" Aisling nods quickly for her to bring them .

Morrigan whispers and blows a power there they all appear before her. Ester and Ingrid are holding hands and walk to her taking hers. Ingrid talking first

"When I first met you , your concern was not just of my sister but of myself as well. You warned me of her anguish , as well as the suffering I would endure. If I could choose I would choose the fate after meeting you. You asked for the Goddess to forgive me and allow me a child. I was given a strong honest boy. Without having magic I never felt superior or jealous of my sister. Thank you we were able to stay close and love instead of hate." Ingrid hugged her and thanked her again. Ester took her hands in hers

"Because of you and your loving husband I was able to marry my love. We never had to feel the guilt of betrayal or the pain of losing my child. You see when you were coming to talk to Ingrid and I . Astila stopped the man that was to kill me. He also told Gregory about my sister being his arranged bride . That the parents would agree to us marrying. You two saved us from that pain I am like my sister I would choose my second fate. With a grateful heart." She hugs her in gratitude for helping them. Morrigan whispers to each of them and with a wave they disappear to their time. Willow is next. She just bows her head and says

"Thank you for sending the man on the night of the moon flowers. He helped me to be free, but I also choose to forget my first fate . That way I would not have to suffer the pain of losing my brother. Thank you for choosing to use your gift for the betterment of others. "Willow goes and stands before Morrigan as with the other two she goes back to her time. Moll comes forward.

"I wish to keep my original fate and choose to be reborn to meet Inola in this lifetime as my fate. To have my chance for true destined love. Also that way I will be able to be by your side ." She turns to Morrigan . She nods in agreement with a whisper Moll disappears to where Aisling does not know. Maureen is last she comes forward to state her wish.

"I to do not want to change my first fate. You see watching you grow and spending so much time , with you was more amazing than words. My only wish is that Onacona and I could be apart of your life now. " Morrigan laughs at them.

"My dear that is a easy wish both you and Moll will be reborn to meet your fates loves. Though your love is not alive in this lifetime. You both will be reborn and fated to be apart of her life as you wish. Now for you my child. You still have one job to complete. You still have to return a certain crystal to it's homeland as promised. You know the light that bound Ingrid was the Uktena. So what is your choice?"

Aisling looks at her and walks over to kneel before her.

"I kneel to thank you for your guidance through all of this and for helping me bring peace to so many. I have cherished the bond I have with them and do not wish to forget them. I choose to remember and return to my husband. " looking up at Morrigan Aisling's eyes plead with her to return her to Astila.

"As you wish child. When you wake in the hospital. You will remember everything and you will have your gift back , you also will have something else returned to you. " she takes her hand and walks her to the stream edge. There sleeping in a lotus flower ; she sees a small child . Aisling looks at her

"Is she mine? " Morrigan smiles at her.

"I could not tell you that you were pregnant when you went back in time. I also could not let any danger come to her. So I placed her here till you decided. If you had decided to forget she would stay her sleeping. Now when you wake she will be returned you where she belongs. You will wake to the moment you returned from the past. This time your husband will be by your side. You will still be in the hospital but it will be because of being pregnant and under nourished. Good luck my child have the rich life I promised you." With that Aisling opens her eyes to see her uncle sitting next to her asleep holding her hand.
