Once Maera explained everything to her aunt, which was what she had learned from Actaea, the visions, and the feeling of knowing Aeolus even though he was in from the past. "Well I shouldn't really be shocked by what you learned while are there in Greece. Didn't I say to not to dig into the past? There are things you don't want to know will come back on you. Who would have thought it would find you instead?"
"I never thought all this to be possible aunt Thetis. It's just all so much to take in, and the visions I've been having are the same ones."
"I've been having visions too, where you are in a different time and place. You're wearing a flowing pale blue gown that is defiantly not from this time, and in my visions your with a man, a warrior dressed in leather armor and a sword at his side. I still can't believe that you got to meet her, Actaea. The poor woman was cursed by Poseidon, and having to live alone for centuries. If you are truly meant to be in the past then you must be carful, because the old ancient gods are real and they are dangerous. Also, it's also humans that you must be carful of because they will try to use you for your gift and if what Actaea says is true there are those who will try to take down Aeolus by using you. My dear niece you must be carful don't let others try to use you, and if this warrior is meant to be with you I have a feeling he will protect and care for you no matter what."
"You're alright with this then, me possibly ending up in the past? I mean is it even possible?"
"I talked to Angelique about time traveling and she believes that if this stone that you possess could send you back in time. She says there are objects out in the world that contain powers beyond this world, more in the supernatural end. The stone that you have must be very powerful."
Maera was silent for a few moments, taking everything in. "You really think I'll end up in the past then?"
"The vision I've been having seems all to real, the one that I keep having is you on a beach surrounded by several men in black armor with their swords drawn. You're not alone though, there's a tall warrior dressed in dark brown leather, black hair, with green eyes, and he has one arm wrapped around you and a sword in the other. It must be him the one you've been having visions and dreams about, Aeolus. You said he was the son of Poseidon, and that he is a king in the past?"
"Yes, Actaea said he was born to a mortal woman but she died in childbirth during a dark moon. The villagers believed he was cursed, but Poseidon came to claim him, then he took him to Actaea to have her raise him. Eventually he would go to train as a warrior and spent years in battles, then after being gone for a long time he returned home. He then became king to the people of Naxos. Actaea said he would one day die to save me and our son."
"You did mention that you would have a son with him. Perhaps all of this will come to past then, that it will really happen. Did you find any information about the son you and him would have?"
"A little information about his heir Drakon, there wasn't much on him. Only that he was born to a concubine who also was a seer, and was seen by mortals as a gift from the gods for having the second sight. They claimed she was very beautiful, and had the love of king Aeolus. Their son succeeded him after his death, he ruled successfully and the people of Naxos continued to prosper during his reign. Aunt Thetis I feel like I'm going crazy here, I mean I must end up in the past then? For what I read about this woman she sounds like me, it has to be possible then?"
"It does honey, for what I have seen and what I believe in it's defiantly possible. All I know is that if you are to end up in the past, far into it, then you must be carful my dear. There are all sorts of dangers and there will be those who will try to use your gift against Aeolus, and use you for their own dark purposes."
"We may never see each other again aunt Thetis, what if I can't return to the present?"
"I know dear but if it's your destiny to be in the past, to be part of it then I can understand. I'm sure we will one day see each other again, I have no doubt. You mentioned that you are to travel to the past in the several weeks?"
"Yes during the autumn equinox when there is a storm while out at sea. Actaea said she will find me on the beach and she knows to look for me, also that when she found me she brought me to safety at the main temple. That I look like I do now so it must be during the time I'm here then."
"The autumn equinox, so that is exactly in two weeks then. If you are meant to travel into the past then you must be prepared honey. For it will be very dangerous where and when you are going. I know when it comes to our family curse I have always told you to be cautious when using it, but it might just save you where you going. In ancient times those born with gifts were considered favored by the gods, and because of that there will be those who will want to use you or try to control you for it. I know I showed you how to defend yourself but also still be cautious about using your second sight. Remember what could happen if you over use it honey."
"I remember aunt Thetis, I know what can happen, and I will make sure I am prepared before the equinox. I have two weeks to learn whatever else I can while I'm here. I already know most of the history but there are some things still that I need to find out though."
"Find our what you can, and in the mean time I will speak with Angelique and see if she knows anything about this dark green stone that you now posses."
"I'll call you in the next couple of days, once I do some more research, and see if I can find any more information about the necklace."
"Be safe my dear and cautious, who knows if the stone is alive and if the old gods are still around."
"That's what Actaea said, some of the ancient gods are still alive. What if they are the ones the behind all of this?"
"It's defiantly possible, they used to manipulate mortals in ancient times, and they may be up to it again. Didn't you say that it was Hades and Ares that formed an alliance and were killing those born as half gods?"
"Yes, from what Actaea had said, they were the ones who gave Aeolus's half brother Otto the blade that would kill him." Her aunt was silent for a few moments before she replied.
"You must be carful, if these powerful gods formed an alliance together then they could use your gift against Aeolus. They can even use it against other half gods born to gods and mortal women. You haven't spoken to any there other than Actaea about all this?"
"I haven't said anything to anyone here, it's far to dangerous. I've only spoken to you and Lucian about all of this. There isn't anyone here i trust, having our gift isn't safe."
"I agree with you darling, I've learned a long time ago that we must be carful when telling people about our gift. As soon as I hear from Angelique about the stone and anything else she might know I will let you know. Please be carful in the mean time, and if all this is true then be safe my darling girl for the ancient past is dangerous place. And if the warrior in your visions is as protective over you as you say then I know that you will be safe with him in the past."
