238 Sirens horn 5

"So you came back to finish me, too late the child is mine now. She is my blood and I will take what is mine." Macha starts to call the earth to bury them to try to stop them. When Morrigan appears she is not like they have seen her before. She has shimmering translucent wings. Uktena is entering right behind her his wings are that of a golden hue. Gigi comes out  from behind Yona and Astila where she can be clearly seen. Her body has transformed as well her silver wings and body sparkling. Then a fourth light appears. There before them is Marbas, Astila and Yona move as if to attack him when Morrigan stops them. 

"Marbas has returned to the side of the Father, he only followed Macha out of his love for her. He is here now to help stop her. " turning to Macha Morrigan tells her sister. 

"I have brought something for you to see .  It is only allowed to be here because of the kindness of the Father. 

the four immortal ones join hands and a ball of energy inside man appears. It is the man from the garden. He is standing by a statue in a garden. 

"Earth goddess thank you for always bringing me peace from the savage existence of war. Without having this garden to tend and the peace it brings I would be lost. You are my sanctuary and for that I am forever grateful. Goddess Macha Danu give me your blessing as my first child is to be born. Let him come to a world filled with peace and your beauty. " just as he was about to say something else Macha's poison had spread through him. Morrigan shows her what he had in his pocket. It was a drawing of Macha as he envisioned her. The man may have loved Morrigan but Macha also held a special place in his heart. Macha looks at the drawing and screams loud enough to shake the ground. Looking angrily at the four she draws up the vines inside the force field and begins to draw the life out of Crystal. 

"No matter he still only loved you , I will take what is mine. As her vines lift Crystal up and the light around her begins to fade. Remi  steps forward , her hair swirling around her. The energy crackling in that air like lightning. She draws up the energy of all four elements and commands"  Macha to release my child. "

"Crystal belongs to me, I am the one who carried her for nine months . I am the one who has loved her since the moment I knew she existed. You and yours have no claim. You will release my child." Remi sends a lightning joint through Macha's body. The caretaker ran to Macha's side . Remi glared at him and knowing the crystal on the metal chest is what held him here she sends a fire ball to encase the chest. The man starts to scream as he begins to burn away. Turning back to Macha Remi begins to draw more energy from the earth.  Morrigan and the other begin to draw energy as well between the five of them Macha begins to shrivel her body begins to disappear. Macha screams. 

"How is this possible your energy was not this strong before. Why does this child have nothing now?" Morrigan looks at her. 

"She willingly gave up her power to stop you from getting it. So we gave it to her in order to completely obliterate you. The Father is coming for you himself , you are forever done for." 

just as Morrigan finished her statement a golden light fills the room one so blinding you could not see anything but the light. 

"My child you are forever confined in the deepest darkest hell imaginable from this day forth. You will not be forgiven , you allowed your jealousy and anger to completely consume you. Not once have you shown remorse at your actions. " Macha in an instant has the chains placed on her and the very earth opens and swallows her up. Releasing Crystal the father gives her back her full gift without bounds. His light shines on Brayden and he is awakened. He takes the horn back and destroys all of Macha's magic. The immortals go back with him leaving the mortals to make their way home. When they arrive back at the house there is a stone box waiting. Inside is the treasure for Crystal. There is a note. 

"no need to worry the father purified everything before giving it to Crystal. He said to tell her she did well her unselfishness will be rewarded and to use her new gifts wisely. M" Aisling turns to Crystal and wants to scold her but she has already fallen asleep holding Brayden's hand. There will be time to scold her later for now they let her sleep. When they leave the room the four immortals come into the room. Looking at Crystal, Marbas smiles at her. 

"Macha only thought of power and hate but little did she know that I became human for a season to be with her. That this amazing child is because of that union. She has the power of four immortals inside of her. She is the one of the prophecy that was foretold the one who will defeat the evil that is rising. How little we knew , so many centuries ago that our curiosity and desire should cause so much trouble. Legeia the horn has been return so I am guessing so has your curse. I hope your reward will be great. As for me I still have a lot of repentance to fulfill. " 

Crystal opens her eyes seeing them. She stands and runs into Morrigan's arms. 

"I'm so grateful that you came for me. I was so afraid. You have always come to protect me thank you . I love you my Morrigan. " Morrigan holds her closely for a moment. Lifting Crystal's head she wipes her tears. 

"You have great power and with such comes great responsibility. You will be called upon to do many things. We will continue to help train you as you grow you must learn to control them. Especially since you are about to be a teenager with emotions you will not understand. At anytime you are afraid of your powers or afraid something bad may happen call me I can dampen them until you are ready. "  Morrigan kisses Crystal's cheeks and lays her forehead against hers. Crystal in a small quiet voice asks. 

"Can you do that now? Like before with the butterfly necklace. Seeing how much power my mom had earlier at just a flip of a finger. I do not think I am old enough to handle it just yet. I was happy with what I had before. I do not want all of it now, even with it coursing through me at this moment is to much please my Morrigan put things as they were before." 

" as you wish my baby Crystal." Morrigan pulls out the butterfly necklace and places on Crystal's neck. A white swirling aura overcomes Crystal's body and flows into the pendant. Morrigan explains what happened. 

"Like when you were a child your gifts except the basics you need are stored in this pendant. I left you some of the elemental gifts so that you can learn to master them. As you learn to control and master them the butterfly will change colors. With each color change the amount of power you can control has been increased. When the butterfly is clear you will have mastered and can wield your full powers. Now if you take off the necklace your full power will be unleashed and hopefully you will be able to control it. It's like the ring Xiangin wears. She has power but not her full power unless she takes her ring off. You will eventually be able to control your full power, when you do your necklace will just be a beautiful necklace with some residual magic." smiling at Crystal Morrigan thinks to herself. This child has wisdom beyond her years even those older than her would not have asked to have less power. The father has chosen well for what is to come. 

Marbas looks at his grandchild and is very impressed with her wisdom and how she is not afraid of them. He clears his throat to get their attention. Crystal looks at him and walks over to him. 

"So you are my grandfather, I hated you for years you know. You hurt my Cookie for that I do not know if I can forgive you. " she glared at him showing him that she is not accepting him right away. 

Marbas bows his head and tells her. 

"I am sorry for what I did to your uncle. I am a warrior angel and in that state it was not possible to have a clear mind. I am doing penitence now for my wrong doings." 

Crystal crosses her arms across her chest and Morrigan and Uktena hold their breath not knowing how Marbas is going to react to this bold child. 

"You could not control yourself, seriously you expect that to be explanation enough. I'm sorry does not cover the death and pain you caused. My precious uncle was in agony after what you had done. You are not deserving of power or grace until you can come to terms with the actual pain you caused. Even to this day my uncle is forever changed from who he was. Maybe you should go to see the families of those you harmed and open yourself to their sorrow and then ask yourself if you can be forgiven. My Morrigan is a warrior but she is still kind, my Uktena is a warrior but he is still kind. I know and understand in battle you cannot always have emotions but you were not in battle. You were just trying to get power because of a mean jealous woman. For that you should have been man enough to do what was right and stop her. Do you not know that I was not born of love but that my father your grandson nearly killed my mother as he spilled his seed into her.  My mother had every right to get rid of me before I was born but she showed love. She chose to keep me and love me, even while being ridiculed and abused because of it. She buried her gifts along with her voice until my daddy came along and gave her a reason to open back up. That is how I came to be. You were given a divine duty by the Holy Father and you abandoned that duty for a jealous woman who should not have been given power. When my Cookie can tell me that he has forgiven you then I will forgive you not before." With saying that Crystal waves her hand at Marbas as if to say you are dismissed. Morrigan smiles at the picture she makes for she truly looks like Moll and Steve at that moment. Sighing when Marbas just says to her. 

"As you wish but remember that I will only be a call away if you ever need me. Also Macha was not always so, at one time no one could be more loving or giving than her. It was her broken heart that changed her. Maybe if she had seen the picture before she killed him things would have been different. There are times things happen for a reason that we do not know. I am grateful that some things happened because of those events you are standing before me. A strong loving child not afraid of even an immortal warrior. That in itself is something for me to be proud of ." With that he leaves .
