Ancient Mystic's War of the Realms Saga by Lady Adellandra Dratianos (ebooks children's books free TXT) 📕

decided to just lighten the blow to his fragile mind. Shane and Luna nursed their kids to health with old-fashioned remedies. Of the two, Caleb was the most alert. When Luna tucked Logan into bed, she swore she felt tiredness from him as well. It was as if he fought in his own way somehow.
At the Reading Estate across the street, Aaron and Aimee lay side by side on the queen-size bed in one of the bigger guest bedrooms. They were silent, with Ariana watching over them. Now that they were home, Ariana was at full strength and the twins needed her to heal them.
“Kelly and the boys are fast asleep.” Derrick whispered, coming in to see her placing a washcloth on each of their foreheads. The smell of jasmine was in the air and Derrick saw the incense burning in the corner. “Are they alright?”
“After a long nap, yes.” Ariana said softly. “I made them drink my special concoction before sending them into the Dream Realm to rest.”
When she sat on the armchair, he sat beside her. “What about you? Are you drained from healing them?”
Ariana looked to her husband, holding his hand. “What do you feel?”
“I feel exhaustion.” He stated.
“Well then, yes, I am drained.” Ariana smiled, kissing him. She stood to face him.
She looked to where Aaron was sleeping peacefully and sighed.
Derrick kissed her forehead. “Love, tell me what’s on your mind.”
Ariana looked at him. “There’s a lot I have to answer for.” When he didn’t reply, she was forced to continue. “I’m sorry for every bad thing that happened with me and that Crystal. I didn’t mean to hurt you, Shane, or even Luna. I guess I didn’t know what I was doing.”
“Hey, forget about it.” Derrick said. “I have.”
“You forgive me?” Ariana asked.
“Love, it wasn’t your fault. The Crystal had you in its power.” Derrick remarked. “I was just glad you were able to return it, and not further use its darkening magic.”
He hugged her. “Come on, let’s go to bed. We’ll leave explanations until morning, when we’ve all gotten a good night’s rest.”
“You’re right, but I’m still not so sure.”
He faced her. “What’s there not to be sure about?”
“Sabrina’s out there somewhere.” Ariana announced. “She’s Earthbound again, I can feel it.”
Derrick looked at her curiously.
“Have I ever been wrong when it came to her?” Ariana whispered, scared.
Derrick shook his head, leading her out of the room. All he wanted to do right now was take his wife to bed with him and make passionate love to her. He wanted to make her happy again, and full of hope and smiles.
Until Sabrina and her consorts were totally taken care of, things in the world of the Ancient Mystics would never be the same.
