The White Legacy - Generation Four Interlude
1. A Battle of Magic and Blood
The White Legacy:
Interlude
2. Arie: âBaltic! I canât believe itâs you! Where have you been? What have you been doing? Youâre all grown up! I
canât believe this!â
Jade: âSo you say⊠this is your brother? That would make him myâŠâ
Baltic: âGreat-Uncle.â
Sun: âWhoa.â
3. Baltic: âIt feels so strange to say that. When I was⊠when I left, you hadnât even been born yet, Aral.â
Arie: âItâs Arie, Baltic. Everyone calls me that.â
Baltic: âArieâŠâ
4. Arie: âSo? Tell us! What happened? Why were you gone so long? Why show up now?â
Baltic: âWell⊠itâs a really long storyâŠâ
Jade: âWe donât mind.â
Sun: âLike, spill your heart out, man.â
Baltic: âOkay⊠but to really explain everything, Iâm going to have to start at the very beginningâŠâ
5. âŠeven before I was part of the story at all. The moment everything was set in motion was when Arctosâs house
burned down, taking with it his wife and son. I never did hear their names. He went to his sister Latimeria, who
had been trying to recruit him to her cause for years, and pledged his support.
6. Their alliance was awkward at first. Latimeria was rather annoyed with Arctos in those beginning days, in the
process of mourning as he was. But then, she was never the most congenial of witches to begin with, and she
was impatient to begin plotting to take down the legacy.
One evening, Latimeriaâs witch order held an emergency meeting.
7. Head Witch: âEveryone, I know there arenât enough seats, but until we find Pearlâs body and retrieve the keys to
the Castle oâ Doom, this is going to have to do. Nevertheless, I expect you to pay attention, please.â
8. Witch: âPlease at least look at me so I know youâre paying attention.â
Elder Witch in Red Skirt: âAGH! What is that sound!?â
Redhead Witch in the Background: âOh no⊠I hope Daddy isnât worrying about meâŠâ
Joe Graham, the Man in the Blue Coat: âYou always knew the Garden Club was really evil. Person person plus!â
10. Head Witch: âThank you! Now then, as you all know, my name is Hattie Tomyoy, and Iâm the new head of the
order. I have called this emergency meeting to inform you that the Portents have come in prophesying the birth of
the next Child Oracle. It will be a daughter born to a witch or warlock.â
Everyone Else: *mumble mumble gasp mumble*
Head Witch: âSILENCE!! Catherine, you may speak.â
11. Catherine: *ahem* âAs you all are no doubt aware, we desperately need the influence of the Child Oracle if weâre
going to overcome the good witches in the upcoming war⊠and I assure you, there will be a war. But more than
that, we need to make sure they donât get her born to one of them this time. The Portents did not specify which
alignment the parent is going to beâthe raven dove straight to the ground, and not in a clockwise or counterclockwise spiral. This is a Portent of magical heritage, but not one that tells us much else. We have more cause to
worry because one of the ranking members of the others is a young, married legacy heir by the name of
Desmodus.â
Merry: âWhat does he have to do with anything?â
12. Group Of Low-Ranked Witches Who Didnât Get Seats: âHahaha. Latimeria is such a young, naĂŻve little witch.
She doesnât know anything about Child Oracles or Portents. So pathetic.â
Hattie: âSILENCE!! YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO SPEAK!!â
13. Catherine: âYoung one, Child Oracles historically favor families which have important historical significance.
Legacies are a very common vehicle for their birth. That is why a lowly townie gardener such as Joe here has no
chance of ever being the parent.â
Joe Graham: âGrrr...â
Catherine: âThey also favor situations in which they will be born with some kind of supernatural status in addition
to their Oracle prowess. Witches are common parents, as are aliens, reapers, and vampires.â
14. Warlock in Striped Sweater: âWhich is why weâre all pretty certain that if itâs going to be someone in our order,
youâre going to be the parent. Youâre part of that stinkinâ legacy, after all. Doesnât mean weâre not worried about the
fact that Desmodus can still have children, since heâs actually heir, and all.â
Merry: âDonât you even DARE mentionââ
Hattie: âALL OF YOU, SHUT UP!â
15. Hattie: âThank you! Now then, if we have read the signs, than the other order has read them, too. I expect all of
you within child-birthing years to have a child as soon as possible. That goes especially for you, Latimeria.
Dismissed.â
16. Arc: âA Child Oracle, huh? You know, if we had her growing up in this house, than we would be the first ones to hear any
prophecies she made. Chances are, there would be at least one relevant to the legacy, which we could then use to take it
down.â
Merry: âExactly. I knew youâd see it my way.â
Arc: âIt was my impression that you just wanted to have the baby so you could lord it over Dez. It would be the one and only
thing you ever beat him in, after all.â
Merry: âShut up!!â
17. Arc: âThis is all well and good, but how exactly are you planning on getting pregnant? Last time I checked, you had
absolutely no gentleman callers. Or even any interest in any specific man.â
Merry: âIâve got to make this baby as appetizing as possible to this oracle-whatever, because Dez could very well have
another baby and have it be the oracle, since heâs the heir. One of the witches said that oracles like supernatural life states.
Iâm already a witch, which is really all I should need, but Dez is a warlock, too. I have to make it one better, and have the
father be a different type of life state. That way my baby has two different types of life state in its heritage, and Dezâs only has
one.â
Arc: âAnd how are you planning on doing that, exactly?â
18. Merry: ââŠâ
Arc: âYou havenât the foggiest idea, do you?â
Merry: âI do too!!â
Arc: âOh, really? Prove it.â
Merry: ââŠâ
19. Merry: âWait, Iâve got it! That old fart said that oracles like to be born to⊠um⊠witchesââ
Arc: âOf which you are already one. Weâve established that.â
Merry: âKeep your mouth shut till Iâm done!! Witches, aliens, vampires, and⊠reapers, whatever that is.â
Arc: âChildren of the Grim Reaper.â
Merry: âSo all I have to do is get abducted by aliens!â
20. Arc: ââŠyouâre not a man.â
Merry: âYeah, so!? âŠoh.â
Arc: âYeah. They only impregnate men.â
Merry: âSo you do it!â
Arc: âIâm not a warlock, Merry.â
21. Merry: âSo what do you suggest we do, then!?â
Arc: âHmm⊠you wouldnât happen to know any vampires I donât know about, would you?â
Merry: âWhat do you think?â
Arc: ââŠGive me some time to think. Meet me in the dining room tomorrow morning.â
22. Merry: âWe donât have time to think! I get the baby now, or someone else is going to get there first!!â
Arc: âPatience. One day isnât going to hurt anything. Dining room, tomorrow.â
23. He spent the night forming his plan, and explained it to Merry the following morning. She was a little⊠hesitant.
Merry: ââŠâ
Arc: ââŠâ
27. Merry: âYes, yes, I get that part. I have no trouble with that at all.â
Arc: âSo whatâs the problem?â
Merry: âWould this even work? And more importantlyâŠâ
28. Merry: ââŠwhy do I have to be the one to go into negative aspiration!?â
Arc: âWe donât have enough time to puzzle things out, Merry. I have it on good authority that Isis and Dez have
both rolled the Want to have a baby. Either you do it, or you concede this victory to him.â
Merry: âFine!!â
29. Arie: âThatâs something I never did figure out.â
Baltic: âHuh?â
Arie: âYouâre telling this story like we already know how Par was murdered. Iâve spent a long time thinking about
how they managed it, but could never wrap my head around it. I mean, Callie saw Par age into an old man and die
in our kitchen. How did they manage to murder him by old age?â
Baltic: âOh, Iâm sorry! I thought you already knew! It went something like this.â
30. They had decided that the best way to get the Child Oracle was to have Latimeria become pregnant by the Grim
Reaper. Children born of the Grim Reaper are quite unique, and in order to have one conceived, a sacrifice is
required. This is why the murder took place.
Arctos found an aspiration points dealer who could supply him with a large amount of very rare Elixir of Life. Over
the next several days, Latimeria carefully fulfilled none of her Wants and slipped into negative aspiration. She then
personally drained the Elixir of Lifeâbut drank none of it.
31. There was too much in quantity for it to work as they planned to use it, and whatâs more, even draining an entire
hourglass wouldnât have enough of an effect. So, Latimeria condensed and strengthened it so it became only a
very small amount of extremely potent anti-elixir, using a combination of magic and potion making.
And a good helping of âThrillerâ dancing, apparently.
What was that?
Arie: âItâs been a long time since youâve had to listen to the Author, huh? Just ignore her.â
32. The elixir needed a couple of days to simmer. In the meantime, Latimeria kept a careful eye on Desmodus and
Isis via the magic mirror in her closet. She was therefore none too pleased when she discovered Isis had become
pregnant.
33. She became impatient, and began to demand that they make their move, worried that Isisâs baby would be the
Child Oracle by virtue of having been born first. The elixir wasnât quite ready yet, but she felt they were running out
of time. Arctos reassured her that everything was set in motion, and succeeded in keeping her from spoiling their
plan before it came to fruition.
34. When everything was finally ready, Arctos called Desmodus and made a time when he would go to his house.
Desmodus still regarded Arctos as a trusted friend and brother, and one who had been tragically missing, and
didnât think twice about inviting him over. The plan was to kill him at his own house, where he wouldnât see that
Arctos was living with Latimeria and become suspicious. Since the estate had an anti-evil spell circle around it,
and Latimeria was the one who needed to be there when the Grim Reaper was, Arctos intended to give Latimeria
the invitation in from the inside.
35. He brought the condensed anti-elixir with him to Desmodusâs house, and intended to slip it to him in his coffee.
Arctos hadnât expected his other brother Pardus to be there, too.
36. Pardus was not the target, and was not supposed to die. They had intended to use Desmodus, a legacy heir and
a powerful warlock himself, because they hoped that by killing him and using his life force to create the child, that
would be one more attraction for Latimeriaâs baby to be the Child Oracle. However, Pardus was the one who
ended up drinking the elixir, and Arctos had to cut his losses and pulled Latimeria through the spell ward and into
the estate.
37. Latimeria arrived. Iâm not precisely sure on how the process to become pregnant by the Grim Reaper works, but
as I understand it, the Reaper is dead himself and therefore cannot have living children. In order for the baby to be
born alive, the life force of a sacrifice must be borrowed and given to the child.
Arie: âA-HA! So THATâS why I couldnât resurrect Par! He didnât have any sort of life force anymore! âŠthatâs kind of
disturbing.â
Yeah, it is. However it happened, it had to have been near instantaneous, because there was one more
complication.
38. Jade: âMy sister.â
Right. Chalcedony came running in right when Pardus was dying. Arctos and Latimeria had to leave immediately,
however much Latimeria vied for killing her right there. It would have taken too long; Desmodus can teleport, and
had likely already heard her scream.
Arie: âThank goodness.â
39. Latimeriaâs pregnancy proceeded quite normally, though I did hear once that she had a lot of morning sickness in the
beginning.
Arie: âGood.â
At around the time she started showing, Arctos convinced her that it would be best if they backed off entirely and faded into the
shadows. The goal was to not remind anyone that they existed until they at least knew if Latimeriaâs baby was the Child Oracle
or not, and if she was, until they had a prophecy in hand to destroy the legacy with.
Arie: âWhich is why we didnât see or hear from them at all for so long.â
40. She managed to carry the baby to term, and she was born perfectly healthy. Latimeria, thrilled to have a daughter
and not a son who wouldnât have had a chance to be the Child Oracle, named her Seraphine.
Jade: âWait.â
42. Baltic: âListen, do you want the rest of the story or not?â
Jade: ââŠyes.â
Sun: âListen here, Baltic, you caught us by surprise. Man, that Seraphine ladyâs the kid of the reaper and Latimeria, right?â
Baltic: âRight.â
Sun: âDude. Hey, now we know what to look out for, right babe?â
43. Jade: ââŠI guess.â
Baltic: ââŠ.anyway. Arctos and Latimeria immediately got a call from Latimeriaâs order head.â
44. Hattie: [Latimeria. I just witnessed a baby magpie hatch from its egg and promptly go stiff and die. This is a very old Portent. You
were pregnant, correct? Did you just have that baby?]
Merry: âWhat if I did?â
Hattie: [Who is the father?]
Merry: âNo one you know.â
Hattie: [LATIMERIA, THAT IS NOT FUNNY. Is the father of that child the Grim Reaper?]
45. Merry: âSo what if he is?â
Hattie: [Latimeria, you donât understand. The magpieâs death right out of the shell is a classic Portent of death tied
to a new life, and its appearance now, while we await the Child Oracle, is no coincidence. It is a girl, yes?]
Merry: ââŠyes.â
Hattie: [This is wonderful news! Iâll be there for the childâs birthday to find out for sure if this is the one weâve been
waiting for. Have a wonderful day! Good luck with child rearing!] *click*
46. True to her word, Hattie appeared the night of Seraphineâs birthday.
Hattie: âLatimeria White, Iâm telling you that baby is the Child Oracle!â
Merry: âAnd Iâm telling you to lay off! I will raise it exactly how and where I want to!â
47. Hattie: âFor the good of the order, I insist that that Oracle is taken to be raised at the order headquarters! We need
every prophecy it spouts off in its youth for the uses of the order! You can have it back when itâs a teenager!â
Merry: âNo! Absolutely not! I carried it, I gave birth to it, I changed all of its nasty diapers, I get to keep it and hear
its prophecies firsthand!â
48. Seraphine: *hiccup* âTwees in fowest die. New twees gwow.â
Merry: âWhat was that?â
Seraphine: âBoo ba *hiccup* paaâŠâ
49. Hattie: âI take it you havenât taught her to talk yet?â
Merry: âOf course not! She only just got out of that useless baby stage!â
Seraphine: *hiccup*
50. Hattie: âThis is exactly what Iâm talking about, Latimeria! I havenât a clue what that prophecy means, but if I hadnât
been here, I wouldnât have heard it and had the chance to try and puzzle it out! I need that child at the order!â
Merry: âNo! I want first rights! I am the mother!â
Hattie: âI WILL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!!â
Merry: âTOO BAD!! NO!!â
51. Hattie: âFINE! Let us strike a compromise!â
Merry: âI do not comprââ
Hattie: âThe Oracle will remain here. You will keep a guard around her. She will never be alone. You write down
everything she says that sounds remotely like prophecy. I will come in the evening and collect them.â
Merry: ââŠfine.â
52. Arie: âIs that really how that argument went down?â
Baltic: âWell, I admit, I did shorten it a little. The important thing is that in the end, a compromise was struck.â
53. This is where I come in. It had been a couple of days since her birthday, and Seraphine had been spouting off one
prophecy after another, which Hattie did indeed come every night to collect. None of them seemed to be relevant
to Latimeria and Arctosâs goals. Latimeria was beginning to get a little impatient; Seraphineâs next birthday was
coming soon, and she was afraid it would come and go, Seraphineâs powers would weaken with another life
stage, and she would never get a prophecy about the legacy. But one day, she sat down to draw.
Arc: âWhoâs that, Seraphine?â
Seraphine: âChiwdwen of Snow.â
54. Arc: âChildren of Snow? Perhaps⊠Snow White?â
Seraphine: âOne going to pwotect bwotherâs famwy, for ten genewations. Aaaaaall way to end. Chiwd of Snow
make it happeeeeen~! Hehehe!!â
Arc: âAll the way to the⊠MERRY!! Your presence is required in the nursery! Hop to it!â
55. Merry: âWhatâs the matter with you!? I was in the middle ofââ
Arc: âShe made a prophecy about the legacy.â
Merry: âWhat!?â
56. Merry: âSo what youâre saying is one of Snowâs bratsââ
Arc: âWatch it. One of them was your father.â
Merry: âOne of her brats, all of whom have already grown to adulthood, is going to protect the legacy so it reaches
the end, and we canât do a thing about it!?â
57. Arc: âBefore we jump to any conclusions, letâs try to think of who Seraphine is referring to. Snow had three kids.
One of them is Dad, of course. Canât be him, because he was the heir, and heâs already lived and died.â
Merry: âObviously.â
Arc: âArie?â
Merry: âNothing but a doting aunt. I havenât seen her do anything special at all so far, and you would think she
would have if she were âprotecting the legacyâ and all that junk.â
58. Arc: âSo that leavesââ
Merry: âIt has to be Baltic. So all we have to do is find him and kill him!â
Arc: âMerry, heâs been missing for about three generations. No oneâs seen him or heard the slightest thing about
him since he was a child. Dad was a toddler when he went missing.â
59. Merry: âSo how do we find him?â
Arc: ââŠI donât know.â
Merry: âWell, youâre the brains! Think of something!â
Arc: âI donât know, Merry! We donât have any clue of where he went!â
60. Hattie: âWell, hello there! Itâs that time again! Why little one, is that a new prophecy youâre drawing?â
Merry: âIf youâre so useless, letâs ask Hattie, then!â
Hattie: âWhatâs going on, now?â
61. Hattie: âSo youâre saying you need to find this Baltic boy so you can take down your grandmotherâs legacy without
his interference?â
Arc: âRight.â
Hattie: âBut heâs been missing since he was a child and no one has any clue of where he is?â
Arc: âThatâs correct.â
62. Hattie: âWell, what about time travel? Then you wonât have to know where he is nowââ
Arc: ââbecause we know where he was when he was a childââ
Merry: ââand he disappeared!â
63. Merry: âARC! No one knows where he is because he hasnât BEEN anywhere! He disappeared because we went
back in time in the future and kidnapped him! This is WONDERFUL!â
Arie: âThat is sick.â
Tell me about it.
64. Hattie: âNow, donât you two expect this to work every time you need it. This is a once in a lifetime kind of thing. It just so
happens that all of the stars we need are in the right alignment at this very momentâIâd say this is fated to happen, or else I
wouldnât be helping you at all. I havenât seen them line up in the right arrangement for time travel for⊠well, ever.â
Merry: âSo why canât I go, too!?â
Hattie: âThereâs not enough room in the spell circle for two adults. Besides, I need you on the outside, helping me cast the
spell.â
Merry: âFine.â
68. *From other side of wall*
Patrick: âAnother child? But Snow, I had been under the impression that we were finished having children. After
all, we have now produced both an heir and a spare, as per Legacy tradition.â
Snow: âArenât you happy?â
69. Patrick: âMa cherie, I am completely and utterly delighted with this news. I apologize if I was discourteous enough
to lead you to believe otherwise. I cannot wait to meet this latest small one.â
71. Arie: âOh, Baltic⊠I am so sorryâŠâ
Baltic: âWhatâs done is done. I donât see any way of changing the past. It wouldnât help me to go back to my original
time, anyway. Iâm an adult now.â
Jade: âStillâŠâ
Baltic: âThis story is far from over.â
Dez: ââŠâ
72. It was a very rough time for me. Arctos and Latimeria locked me in an upstairs bedroom, fortunately already
furnished, and that night I could hear their voices arguing through the wall on whether or not to kill me. I wasâŠ
petrified. I didnât dare sleep for three days.
73. Arctos insisted that by bringing me here in the first place, the timeline had been broken, and the prophecy couldnât
possibly come true. I would be more useful alive, he said. Latimeria wanted me dead on the spot; Iâm not sure if
she wanted to be safe, or if she was simply bloodthirsty, having two murders under her belt by then. In any case, it
was Arctos who won the argument, and I survived.
74. I was hungry and scared all the time. I jumped at every sound out in the hall, afraid that the nameless woman I
later came to know as Latimeria was out there and ready to kill me. That was why I hid when I heard someone
fiddling with the lock on the door.
75. I heard the door swing open and light footsteps enter the room. They paused for a moment, and then the door
clicked shut. I was alone in that room with whoever had come inâand I was quite sure that it was Latimeria. I
shivered and clung to my legs, trying to draw myself into as tight a ball as I could.
I heard those horrible footsteps come further into the room. I held my breath.
76. Seraphine: âBoy, why are you hiding? Are you afraid?â
That was the first time I met Seraphine.
77. We talked for a long time that night. I told her about the ghosts of my past. Seraphine talked to me about how she
was never allowed to be alone, how much it scared her when a âmoodâ took her, and how she had taken to
running off to far corners of the house in a convoluted game of hide-and-seek in an effort to get away from Arctos
and Latimeria. She had found my locked door and had borrowed, shall we say, a key to get into it.
78. We had been talking for some time when she suddenly stood up, and I heard her give a prophecy for the first time.
Of course, that was when Latimeria came running in.
79. She was furious, of course, and made many threats against the both of us. We were only kids; poor, terrified kids.
I tried to explain to her what Seraphine had said, but she was too angry to care. She took Seraphine away and
locked the door again, and I curled up in bed.
80. Arctos came to visit me the next morning⊠to cut me a deal.
Arctos: âHereâs your choices, kid. One. You do the cleaning now, and when youâre old enough, the cooking, too.
No matter what youâre doing, Seraphine stays by your side. She helps, whatever. Latimeria or I will come at
random timesâand by that, I mean any random timeâto collect whatever prophecies she might make around
you. Two. You stay in here and starve. Whatâs it going to be?â
I suspect they were tired of trying to leash Seraphine to themselves now that she was old enough to try and run,
and were looking for a combination babysitter and maid that she wouldnât hide from.
83. âŠbut we were soon friends. After all, we were all each other had.
We were never allowed outside, and so we created games of our own. Games like âletâs see how long we can
avoid the adults,â and âfind the secret passageway (thereâs got to be one here somewhere!).â We were often
scolded for being too loud or too rambunctious, and I got quite a bit of heat for âdistracting Seraphine from
prophesying.â
84. Nevertheless, I canât count how many prophecies I passed on to the adults during that time. I always felt like I was
somehow betraying Seraphine by reporting them, but there wasnât much either of us could do about it. After a while, it
became commonplace for her to suddenly give some cryptic comment, and for me to call Arctos to tell him about it.
I never called Latimeria. She scared me.
Arie: âFor good reason.â
Thatâs not to say Arctos didnât scare me. It was only that he scared me less.
88. Merry: âNo!? Is that all you have to say to me!? After all Iâve done to raise you and clothe you and put up with all
of your stupid, childish games!? I am your mother!â
Seraphine: âNo, mother! I havenât had an episode since my birthday, and you are very much aware of that! Now
let me get back to my game!â
It wasnât uncommon for them to talk like I wasnât there. Not that I really minded. Latimeria frequently harassed
Seraphine after she became a teenager, but it was true. I only heard her give one or two prophecies at all after her
teenage birthday. They were always in her dreams now, and she always kept them secret from Latimeria.
89. Seraphine: âWhat do you think of silver, Baltic?â
Baltic: âHm? What do you mean?â
Seraphine: âIâm thinking I might dye my hair. How about silver? What do you think?â
90. We only had a few days as teenagers before Headmaster Summers arrived.
Merry: âWho are you!? What are you doing here!?â
Headmaster Summers: âIâm Arlen Summers, Ms. White. Iâm the headmaster of the local private school. We were
informed by Social Services that there are children on this lot who have never attended school.â
Merry: âOf course there arenât any children around here! Donât you know who I am!? Buzz off!â
91. Headmaster Summers: *muted* âPlease donât lie to me, Ms. White. Social Services is omniscient, after all, and I
must respect their informational sources. I am here instead of the social worker because I wish to extend a
scholarship to my private school to the children. I can see that theyâve grown up inâahâspecial circumstances.
Lady Hattie herself has recommended to me that one of the children, a girl, may be particularly talented in the
non-magical arcane arts.â
Merry: âFor the last time, unless you want to be turned into an ugly little speckled toad, get lost! There are no
children here!â
93. And so Headmaster Summers was invited in for dinner. It was the first time we ever all ate at the same table, and
from the glares from Latimeria and subtle frowns from Arctos that Seraphine and I were receiving, I knew very fast
that this would be the last time, as well. Headmaster Summers refused to be dissuaded, no matter what Latimeria
or Arctos said, and by the end of the night, both Seraphine and I had been admitted to the private school. The
same private school, in fact, that you and your sisters attended, Jade.
Jade: âWhy didnât I ever see you?â
Iâm pretty sure you did. You saw Seraphine, anyway.
94. She came home with you and Chalcedony her very first day of school. She went by the name of Sara. Remember
now?
Jade: âSara? The quiet girl in the dark clothing who always sat at the back of the class?â
The very same. She had hoped to take that day to run away from home, but she lost her nerve after sheâd made it
to your estate. Seraphine is a very strong person, but she was also very afraid of Arctos and Latimeria, and also
very insecure.
95. Latimeria and Arctos were livid. They hated to relinquish any kind of control over us, I suppose, and were
apprehensive that someone might recognize one of us. They knew that the school would notice if they punished
us for going, and so they waited until Friday afternoon. They would have the whole weekend before we had to
return to school. They were waiting for us when we got off the bus.
Sun: âWhat did they do, man?â
96. Latimeria teleported off somewhere with Seraphine. That left Arctos with me. He led me out back.
97. To the graveyard. He never said a word the whole time, just pushed me down to the ground and then backed off
and stood in front of the gate. It was a cold day. The ground was hard and frosted over. It was absolutely silent. All
I could do was sit and stare at the graves.
It was a threat, I realized very quickly, of what my future might hold. Maybe they would put my grave right where I
was sitting.
98. Some hours after dark, I heard the gate clatter open. I sat there, shivering, for several minutes before I dared to
look if Arctos was still there. He wasnât. It was probably another hour or so before I got up the nerve to decide my
punishment was over and that I was permitted to go back inside.
99. The first thing I did was search for Seraphine. I could hear Arctos playing the piano in the music roomâhe played
piano all the timeâand Latimeria was snoring in her bedroom, so I wasnât afraid to run and pound on the walls
looking for Seraphine. She wasnât in her bedroom, or locked in a bathroom, or any other room. I finally had to give
up and rest when the sun came up.
Arie: âWhere was she? Did you find her?â
No, I never found her. Very early Monday morning, Latimeria must have teleported back to wherever she put her
to recover her in time for school. I was asleep at the time. I wasnât asleep for very long.
101. Baltic: âNice job. I really like it. Um, did you know you missed your eyebrows?â
Seraphine: âDid it on purpose. Donât bother with the one plate, let me at the platter. Iâm starving.â
There must have been a mirror wherever she was.
102. Seraphine and I worked hard to stay out of trouble after that. Mainly we sat in the billiards room and studied, or
read novels, in Seraphineâs case. She loves to read.
103. In fact, thatâs what we were doing when I met Hattie for the first time.
104. Hattie: âHello, children! My, Seraphine, how youâve grown! Why, I havenât seen you since you were just a toddler!
And what a charming thing youâve done with your hair!â
Seraphine: âHello, Hattie.â
Baltic: âSeraphine, who is this?â
Hattie: âAll in due time, boy. First things first: are your guardians around?â
105. Seraphine: âIf by âguardiansâ you mean my mother and uncle, no, theyâre not.â
Hattie: âOh, good. I have a few things to ask you two, and it may be best if they donât hear it.â
107. Hattie: âYou know, of course, that I am the head of your motherâs witch order.â
Seraphine: âYesâŠâ
Hattie: âYou know also that this is a fairly recent event, since the last order head was murdered.â
108. Baltic: âMurdered?â
Hattie: âIndeed. One day, she just disappeared from our psychic circle. I was chosen as the new leader.â
Seraphine: âAnd Iâm sure you were very upset to have to take over the mantle of leadership in the wake of your
poor, noble rulerâs demise, right?â
109. Hattie: âBelieve what you will, I didnât want her dead. Pearl was no gem, but she was an adequate leader. Iâll grant
you I donât resent the opportunity to take over leadership of the order. However, Pearl committed no crimeâ
against the order, anywayâand if I do not investigate and bring her justice, I will not be respected by my
underlings, and may be deposed and replaced by someone they believe will uphold the laws of the order.â
Seraphine: âSo what youâre saying is, you donât really care whether or not you find out what happened to this
lady, you just want to keep your position.â
Hattie: âI resent your tone, but yes, that is more or less the gist of it.â
112. Hattie: âWe have reason to believe that your mother, Latimeria, may be the cause of it all. If this is true, and can be proved, I will
bring her to justice, as defined by my Dark Order. However, I canât approach her directly, or sheâll know what I suspect and kill me,
too. Iâve been living with her being in the order and not treating her any different since before you were born, and Iâm tired of it.â
Seraphine: âAnd? I still donât see how this concerns us.â
Hattie: âItâs simple, really. If you give me significant enough help, I can get the two of you out of here. Latimeria will be gone, and
Arctos is a mere human; they will have no influence on you anymore. There are plenty of witches within my order who would be
willing to give you a room until you reach adulthood, and then you can go buy homes in Peachtree Valley, or whatever it is the
children of legacy spares do.â
115. We started looking for evidence in the graveyard. Arctos and Latimeria liked to bury their victims in the backyard,
and we guessed that if we could find Pearlâs grave there, that would be pretty good evidence that they murdered
her. Unfortunately, none of the graves were marked, except two in the very back. Those were labeled âAnne
Whiteâ and âFeldspar White,â neither of which were the victims we were looking for.
116. Our next thought was to visit Latimeriaâs bedroom. We waited until she was in the shower, giving us at least thirty
minutes to do a quick search before she was likely to come in the door. However, there was nothing thereâno
diary, no trophies, no nothing. Our next stop was Arctosâs bedroom. We used the same strategy to get into his,
and after we had picked the lock on the door, we were pretty surprised by what we found.
118. Seraphine: âWhoâs the kid and the lady, and what are they doing in pictures with Arctos?â
Baltic: âLook at how happy they are. Theyâve gotta be his wife and son, right? He had a family. So what happened
to them?â
120. Arctos: âI locked my door for a reason.â
Seraphine: ââŠâ
Arctos: âAnne and Spar died by fire. Youâre lucky this isnât Latimeriaâs room youâve broken into, or you might have
experienced what they did, what it feels like to have flames lick your bodies as your flesh melts from your bones.
But I assure you, if I catch you in my room again, you will beg to be punished by her instead.â
123. We stopped actively looking for traces of Pearlâs murder after that. Still, Hattieâs offer of getting us out of that
house was tempting, and we kept our eyes peeled. It was only a few nights later that Seraphine saw the last
prophecy she ever had.
125. Baltic: âUgh⊠Seraphine, itâs three in the morning.â
Seraphine: âBaltic, I had a dream. You were in it.â
126. Seraphine: âThere will be a great battle of magic and blood. You, Baltic, will leave safety to challenge death.
Parent and child will be reunited, and death will inhabit flesh as life meets its end in fire.â
Baltic: âWow.â
Seraphine: âI know. Itâs been since I was a kid that Iâve had one this vivid.â
127. Baltic: âSo what does all that mean?â
Seraphine: âI, uh, donât know, exactly. Itâs just so frustrating. I saw it all clear as day when I was actually dreaming
it, but now itâs all fuzzy, and all I can remember are those frustrating little poetic sentences. I mean, what is it with
prophecy and poetry? Who decided that all prophecies should be made as vaguely as possible? Seriously.â
128. Baltic: âSo⊠do you think we should, uh, tell Latimeria and Arctos?â
Seraphine: ââŠâ
129. Seraphine: ââŠno. They still think I havenât had a prophecy since I was little. No need to tell them otherwise. âŠI
feel like it might be very important that they not know this one.â
And so we didnât tell them.
Sun: âNever?â
Nope. They still donât know.
130. Baltic: âI tell you this on the strictest of confidences, you understand. Itâs not exactly a secret, per se, weâre just
going on Seraphineâs gut feeling that Latimeria and Arctos need to not know about it. But weâve been keeping it to
ourselves for so long, it feels like a secret from everyone.â
Jade: âWe wonât tell anyone.â
Baltic: âThanks.â
131. As it got closer to our birthdays, Seraphine and I saw Latimeria and Arctos less and less. They would disappear
into the chess room together for hours on end.
132. One day, we hid around the corner to eavesdrop on what was going on.
Arie: âWhy around the corner?â
There are no doors into the chess room, only arches.
Arie: âOh, I see. Continue.â
133. Merry: âSo⊠we canât just kill the heir becauseâŠâ
Arc: âFirst of all, we donât know who it is. Thereâs four of them this generation, and theyâre not even all teenagers
yet; the heir hasnât been chosen. I say we wait.â
Merry: âWell, I say we act! Dez is dead, the magic circle that was keeping me out is gone, thereâs no one to stop
us now!â
134. Arc: âJade married a vampire. I donât care to find out what would happen if we break into his house to kill his
children.â
Merry: âBlast it.â
Arc: âThat wouldnât work, either.â
135. Merry: âArc, I am tired of waiting. Theyâve got nobody to protect them right now, because Balticâs here with us. It
would be easy!â
Arc: âIt would not.â
Merry: âYouâre such a goatstack!â
136. Baltic: *whispering* âTheyâre looking to end the legacy? Wait, so the legacy my mom started is still running? Yes!
Did Toro carry it on? Do I have another sibling I havenât heard about yet? How far has it gone?â
Seraphine: *whispering* âBoy, are you sheltered.â
137. Arctos and Latimeria had been surviving on elixir of lifeâ
Arie: âWait, wait!â
138. Arie: âWhat about the murdering? They were talking about killing Jade and Sunâs kids! What about that!?â
Baltic: âItâs coming up, I promise!â
Sun: âChill, let the man talk. Tell us everything you know, man, and then Iâm going to go stake them with their own
magic wands.â
139. Finally, we had our adult birthdays, which we spent alone upstairs. We had planned to get out the moment we
were old enough to go, and maybe go live in Pleasantview or something.
Seraphine: âHurry it up, Baltic, we need to get out of here.â
Baltic: âHold on. I hid our savings under the blanket.â
140. Arc: âUnder the blanket? That mustâve been uncomfortable at night, wasnât it?â
Baltic: âArc, weââ
Arc: âYou know what? I donât really care. And my name is Arctos. Donât you ever call me by that nickname again.â
141. Seraphine: âYouâre standing between us and the door. Weâre not teenagers; you canât cow us anymore. Get out of
the way.â
Arc: âHmmm⊠I donât feel like it. Also, I donât know if that would be such a good idea.â
142. Arc: âYou see, Latimeria is standing behind this door youâre so adamant on going through, and I donât think she
would be terribly pleased to find you leaving.â
Seraphine: âAre you threatening us?â
Arc: âThat depends. Are you thinking about going anywhere?â
143. Arc: âSeraphine, come with me. Baltic, if we return and find you anywhere but within this room, we will kill you.â
Seraphine: âNo.â
Arc: âFine. Weâll just kill him now, then.â
Baltic: âMe!? Why?â
144. Arc: âYou, boy, are expendable. Latimeriaâs been wanting to kill you since you first came here. I think you might
still have some kind of use. It might just be safer in the long run to bury you in the graveyard. Donât convince me
youâre a danger to us. Letâs go, Seraphine.â
146. Seraphine: âA grocery store? Are you kidding? You dragged me out here and threatened Balticâs life for
tomatoes?â
Merry: âWeâre not here for tomatoes, you idiot! Do you really think we would go to all this trouble just for that!?â
Arc: âPeace, everyone.â
147. Arc: âSeraphine. We saw one of the legacy children leave the estate early this evening, alone, heading towards downtown. Heâs a
teenager, brown hair, dark skin, wears a red shirt and a vest. Weâre going to catch him, and heâs going to tell us if an heirâs been chosen
yetââ
Merry: âOf course the heirâs been chosen. They wouldnât wait this long to secure their precious legacy!â
Arc: ââand then weâre going to kill him.â
Seraphine: âAnd if heâs not the heir?â
Arc: âKill him anyway.â
148. Seraphine: âWhat!? Heâs just a kid!â
Merry: âHahaha, youâre funny, Seraphine. Since when has that ever stopped us before?â
Arc: âKid or not, heir or not, heâs at least a spare. That means that once we get rid of the heir, he could still be in
line to take over. Eventually we need to make sure none of this generation can inherit; itâs just more important at
this moment to get the heir out of the way. Thatâs why we need to know.â
149. Seraphine: âI hate you.â
Arc: âYouâre not alone. I think Parâs kids have formed a club.â
150. Merry: âBy the way, if you betray us tonight, or any other time, weâre going to kill both you and Baltic.â
Arc: âJust so youâre aware.â
151. They waited for some time, loitering in front of the grocery store. The hours passed.
Merry: âHow long do we have to wait!? He should have been here by now!â
Seraphine: ââŠâ
152. Merry: âSeriously! Where is he!?â
Arc: âCalm down, Merry. Perhaps we should choose a different spot to wait.â
158. Jade: ââŠand told him to run when she heard someone call her name.â
Right.
159. She also covered for him while he was running.
Merry: âSeraphine!! Where have you been!? You said you were going to the bathroom! What are you doing in this
alley!?â
Seraphine: âSorry, Mom. I thought I saw him in this alley, but it turned out it to be a trick of the shadows. Where
could he be?â
160. She told me about everything that had happened when she got back: her encounter with Hyde, and Arc and
Merryâs plan to eliminate your children one by one.
161. Baltic: âSo what do we do? Theyâre going to kill a bunch of kids, Seraphine!â
Seraphine: âCome on, Baltic. Youâre supposed to protect the legacy? Well, protect them!â
Baltic: âTheyâll kill me if I leave the house!â
Seraphine: âDonât worry about it! Iâll make a distraction for you, and you can run to the legacy house tomorrow
evening when theyâre not looking, warn them, and run back! They wonât know the difference!â
162. Baltic: âSo, uh, why canât you do it? Youâre not confined to the house.â
Seraphine: âAre you kidding me? The legacy isnât going to believe anything I say. I cornered their son,
remember? Besides, they havenât seen you in about four generations, theyâll be wanting to see you, and theyâll
believe you. Come on, Baltic. You canât let them down.â
163. Baltic: âSo thatâs how Iâm here, and now you know everything I do.â
Jade: âWhat did Seraphine do to distract them?â
Baltic: âAh⊠I think she lit the third story toilet on fire.â
Sun: âWhoa. Groovy. Howâd she manage that?â
164. Baltic: âOkay, I really need to get out of here before they notice Iâm gone.â
Jade: âThank you for coming to warn us, Baltic.â
Sun: âYeah, no kidding, man. Youâre the best. Weâll be sure to, like, keep the kids indoors and keep an eye on them. Nobody going
downtown by themselves anymore.â
Baltic: âIt was really Seraphine who made it all happen⊠sheâs the one who deserves the thanks, not me. I need to get out of here.â
Arie: âBal, wait.â
165. Arie: âItâs so good to see you. It was Momâs only regret that she never found you. Donât be a stranger. And donât
stay with those whack jobs one moment more than you need to. Get out of there. I have room at my house for you
and Seraphine if you need it.â
Baltic: ââŠthank you. Thank you.â
166. The end!
By the way, Seraphine does [kind of] follow the Generation Four naming scheme. She was named after the
gemstone Seraphinite. I just shaved off the ââite.â âŠIt works, okay!?
