Chereads / Mystic Shadow / Chapter 2 - Start With Why

Chapter 2 - Start With Why

This course I am taking is having us Journaling our thoughts, feelings, memories and our theories on the why.

Our why for taking this course, why we think it's important to understand this event.

My why goes back to that 13th birthday, how many of us had been prepared for our first shift? Were we like the lost generation of Metis who didn't know of their heritage because of their parents hiding?, we need to understand history so we are not doomed to repeat it, so we can have peace to all live as ourselves without fear, for the future generations on their way.

My name is Mystic, my parents claimed they wanted a unique name and maybe it should have been a clue to being magical.

I grew up thinking we were normal farmers, Warren and his sister Pearl are next door, the two houses have a service road down the middle, both have nice yards to play in, a shared pond, and we have always helped plant, care for and harvest each others crops like one big family, Kayla's family lives across the street and has a really nice horse ranch that we help provide hay and oats for, next door to them is David, Devon and Alissa there family has a nice draiy farm.

On our left it's another farm of crops, mainly fruit and sunflowers, but there house is a little ways back on the service road inbetween the field spilt of fruit and flowers, they also do bee keeping and sell honey, their kids are Jesse and Rebecca and they turned out to be hybrids too werewolf fur with dragon bodies, both brown but with nebula eyes and the fur in a scale pattern but very soft, no dragon breath but extra strong in either form and amazing hearing and sense of smell.

Their Grandmother makes the best pies, she's human her husband was a dragon, when the veil protection disappeared, he couldn't control the shift, no one could, everyone hiding in human form in the human world was exposed and some were killed out of fear, her husband had been one of them. A midwife was with her, a magical one who ended up shifting, the story she told us the night we all shifted was that her midwife was a angel, she wasn't due for a few weeks, it was a check up but that light and sound had traveled and when it reached them he couldn't shift back to human and had been out collecting ingredients the midwife requested for helping the cramps, her midwife glowed with angel wings, she felt at peace but her labor had been induced by the strange blue light and high pitch noise.

Her husband had flown to the house and looked in the window, the ingredients in his claws placed on the window ledge, his twins born in human form shifted a few moments after birth, not fully dragon but dragon wings and scale like shiny skin, he saw them trying to fly, tried to shift back but couldn't.

As we heard her telling the story, we also noticed her tears, some of us now saw it clear as day as if there and felt every thing she was feeling.

A boy and girl, the angel midwife smiled seems their healthy little hybrids, she wasn't scared or shocked, he had told her who he was, he would use his dragon breath on lightning the fire place and it made some interesting challenges along with some great pleasure, she loved her husband and life.

At some point that night out on their farm some one say him a angry mob showed up, he had tired repeatedly to shift back, to be inside with his wife and twins but nothing was working, he tried to look like a barn beside the house but either way, much anger and hatred existed and a mob attacked, he didn't fight back, just kept watching her and twins, the angels magic had also been affected and she could only protect inside the house, by morning when the moon went down and sun came up everyone shifted back, the angel ran outside to try and save him, he was weak, his wife came out with the twins, they sat him up covered his naked wounded body and with what life was left hold his babies, kissed them both on the forehead and used his last dragon breath to breath a love symbol on their collar bones his undying love for them that he was with them.

That night she also mentioned that when he died she buried him in the flower field closet to the house and thats why that part is always filled with snap dragon's, she had said it with a smile but as a empath I saw the truth.

Are human friends at first were a little afraid, then jealous a bit at not having powers but after Granny's story they felt bad and worried that could happen to us.

That was six years ago, Agoura Jesse and Rebecca's grandmother is like a granny to us all, our six farm's work together in harmony and provide well for us and others in the greenbelt, we all took turns at each other's houses for home schooling so we could do our jobs on each farm, but that story never left my heart and when I saw this course on it investigating this event I knew I wanted to take it.

Yes before I forget Jesse and Rebecca are twins. Jesse is a boy but their mom had been hoping for two girls. Their uncle moved as soon as he was 16, said he felt called to be elsewhere, they didn't mention where that is, but he does visit a few times a year.

I guess what I am sharing in this part of the journal is part of my why is investigation into the generational trauma of the event and if these time states are stable or could we still see risks in more time loops or lose of control over the magic with in us.
