Thread: Nebula Academy: Search for the Chosen Ones (Start Up)

Rose soothingly hummed a lullaby to Claudia and Amber while they fed. Amber yawned while Claudia closed her eyes and smiled.

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." Dirk mused out loud, channeling his inner Daphne to quote an old English playwright. "But really, I just need to ask what you were thinking?" He sighed. "I can't risk having tactical mistakes like this happen with Zephyr or Daphne in the line of fire." He stated. "I will not allow it to happen."

"Who says they'll ever be on the line of fire?" Shinn raised an eyebrow. "If Zephyr gets on the line then it's cause she wants to that's in her blood we're knuckleheads and rash." He then looked up. "Well technically it's not in her blood, but I know my niece."

Dirk just had an amused smile on his face. "When she's closer to giving birth..." He said quietly. "She won't have the same ability to defend herself... and the tactical nightmare that was the Memento Mori invasion..." He sighed. "It worries me."

"Again." Shinn repeated himself. "I don't include her in things, at least not now that I know that her powers have become less...cold I guess." he shrugged. "If anything happens then it'll be Zephyr's own judgement if she decides to fight then it'll be cause of her own opinion not cause I assigned her to, besides her own mother was able to fight against hordes of Demons while carrying eight kids and Zephyr's pretty strong."

"Also if you don't want her to fight then shouldn't you...I don't know stop her from training, cause she and Ellery were just carrying weight tied to their feet to the other side of the forest all by themselves today." he explained.

"Wait what?!?" Dirk was shocked, having missed this event due to his trip. "Why would she?!?" He sighed. "For fuck's sake." He muttered. "Would that hurt the baby?" He asked softly.

"Considering she's got Devil blood...not really..." Shinn shook his head. "Actually it could if she does it too much, especcially since she's sitll in the early stages."

Dirk nodded. "Fuck." He said quietly. "I may have to call her mother then." He looked a bit amused at this. "Because something tells me she won't listen to me on this one."

"Nope." Shinn shook his head. "Though if aunt Carey's coming then...I'll have to reinforce the barriers." he deadpanned.

Dirk looked amused but nodded. "Looks like I have a rather fun phone call to make." He said before vanishing back to the Caribbean hideaway. He flipped his phone out and called Carey, waiting for her to respond.

The phone was answered after a couple of rings. "Hello?" a soft voice greeted Dirk once the phone had been picked up.

Sil looked at him oddly. "That's a little odd." The sprite said, having added hourglasses to Camille's portrait.

Dante had treated his siblings to a more-than-deserved treat, placing ice packs on their sore bodies.

"Hi Mrs. Warring, this is Dirk." Dirk figured he might as well be blunt. "I'm having a little bit of a problem regarding your daughter and I was wondering if I could come to you for advice."

"What is it?" Carey asked.

"I was away last night..." Dirk stopped himself, realizing that this was a terrible way to start. "Ummm nevermind... anyways." He was annoyed with himself now. "Okay, let me rephrase... She's pushing herself way too hard... and I'm worried that with the training that she's doing with her brothers... extreme weight training... I'm worried that she might hurt the baby without realizing it." He said softly. He was clearly concerned.
