Chapter 358 - 358 Are You Ready to Bear That Burden?

"It is rare but not unheard of. Luke with each rune passes to you you will be able to hear the thoughts of those clan members. There is a way to turn that off but I never had any difficulties with doing that. I think that Ketan had some issues at first but I am not able to speak on his behalf." Kitty held out her hand and a blue rune lit up in the bubble. "This is a clan of Dragons. They are sweet and care about their kind. They do not often come to the land. They prefer to hide in their celestial realm. If you were to decide to take them then I would give you them first. They are quiet and only at strange times will you hear them. I do believe that the two that came down are still here. If they are I will introduce you." Kitty held the rune out to Luke. 

Luke reached his hand out and touched the rune. It sparkled and the color went from pale blue to a sapphire blue color. "Oh wow! It changed color. Is that the color that could appear on me?" 

Janet watched the process and was shocked. "That is so neat!" 

"Luke the rune did not reject you and has chosen you. That is the color that it should be but I was forced to carry two sets of runes. I want you to think long and hard but I am sure that the dragons felt that." Kitty thought for a moment. "Janet, can you make sure that the photoshoot is delayed a little longer. I want to take Luke to the Dragons now." 

"Your wish is my command. I will get them to delay besides Carlos said snacks and drinks maybe those will be ready?" Janet got up and saw that Carlos was bringing snacks out. She walked over and grabbed some for Kitty. "Katherine is resting a bit as it has been a while since she has modeled I will let you know when she is ready. I am taking this to her." 

Kitty touched Luke on the shoulder and the two appeared at the waterfall. "Amelia and Wenceslaus are you two still here?" 

Amelia appeared human and sitting in the middle of the pond. "Kitsune!" She ran across the water and hugged Kitty. "I felt it. The one that is destined to be the water bearer. It was amazing. Hello, young one. I am Amelia the Queen of Water Dragons." 

Kitty hugged Amelia, "I am glad that you are finally doing better. I was concerned. This is Luke, the one that connected with the rune in my hand." Kitty held out the rune. 

Luke bowed to the Dragon Queen, "the pleasure is all mine. I was surprised when I saw the rune change color." Luke lifted his hand and touched the rune. 

Wenceslaus came out and saw what was going on. "So it was not something that was a prank. It really did happen. I felt the shift and I was so shocked. Young one, I am Wenceslaus King of the Water Dragons and mate to Amelia. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Yes, it really is a pleasure to meet you. I was worried that Kitty would not find the one. She has been having a hard time being in charge of both." Amelia looked at Kitty and sighed, "does the young one know thy true name?" 

"This is my adopted son, Lavatis. I am giving him the choice to decide if he wants this or if he would rather stay that way he is. So I do not know if he will choose to become the bearer yet. I thought it would be good since there was a major reaction." Kitty looked at Luke and smiled. 

"Lavatis, should you choose then you would be able to get closer to us, I am Wilhelmine and this is Afa. Those are our true names. I will not force you to choose but I will hope that you will free Kitsune." Amelia bowed and looked at Kitty.

"The pleasure is all mine. Mother, I think that I have made my choice. I want to stay by your side and always be able to help you. Please give me the runes." Luke beamed a smile.

"Are you sure that is what you want?" Kitty looked at Luke waiting for an answer.

"Yes, I am sure. There is still a lot that I do not know but I think that after some time I will learn everything." Luke nodded his head.

"Come onto the water then. I need to transfer the rune around the water. I will help you mask it but it will be hard on you unless Amelia makes sure that it does not appear." Kitty hopped into the water and walked to the middle of the pool.

Luke followed Kitty and smiled, "I do not think that I am making a mistake, Mother. Where is the rune going to go?" 

"Our rune has always gone on the right hand. It is one of the reasons Kitty was able to project it the way that she did." Amelia sat on the edge of the water watching. 

Kitty nodded at Amelia, she touched the pool of water and then held out the rune. "Luke hold out your right hand, please." 

Luke immediately held out his right hand and smiled at Kitty. "I do like that the rune you hold is such a beautiful blue color." 

"Lavatis, you are now being granted the great task of becoming the water bearer. There is nothing that can change your fashion and you will forever live with this for the rest of your life. Once this rune is passed to you your future will be never-ending. There are only five of us that will bear these marks. Do you accept that you will no longer die? Watching as your loved ones leave your side. Seeing your children die before you. Are you ready to bear that burden?"
