Chapter Sixty Six

The morning after the party, Dorilys got up early to make breakfast for the whole family.

Before going out to watch the local wildlife, Dory was utterly fascinated by wildlife, she loved to watch the birds and other creatures and regularly tried to coax them to come home with her.

Meanwhile, the triplets had gone to the local pub to meet up with some friends. Kyra and Karal had been getting very close to Zhanzu and Mei Lin Yodsuan and Kariny had invited Rian Harris-Crist whom she had a crush on.

Rian had been forced to bring his little brother Andreas along with him as his parents hadn't been able to find a babysitter, but he and Kariny spent most of the afternoon chatting and gossiping, especially after his parents picked Andreas up and left the two of them alone.

Karal and Mei Lin had already gone past that stage. They spent the afternoon holding hands and flirting together and Karal surprised Mei Lin with a bunch of flowers in her favourite colour.

Towards the end of the day, Karal asked Mei Lin to go out with him and she was only too happy to agree.

Kyra and Zhanzu also had a fantastic date and by the end of the day they too had agreed to go out.

When Dorilys got home from a day running around the island, she ran upstairs to the barn room which her grandparents had allowed her to use to keep all the birds and animals she collected. Nik was waiting for her there and she was eager to tell him her news.

"Mum says we're all going to China for a trip, Dad's going to give us all some training in Sim Fu and tell us about his family history! It's going to be so amazing!"

Nik however wasn't as excited as Dory had expected.

"You're all going away to China? For how long? You know I won't be able to come with you to protect you? Something about whatever has trapped me in this form has also confined me to your home. Indeed I wish you would not wander so far from your home, I cannot protect you whilst you are not at home and there are many who would wish to harm you."

"Oh Nik, don't be so silly, Dad's going to train us all so we can protect ourselves and I'll be alert to anyone who tries to hurt us."

"But you do not know how to tell if someone means you ill, I tell you, there are those who would try to befriend you in order to deceive and entrap you, and you cannot know who to trust!"

"Nik! You're not suggesting that Dad can't be trusted?!"

"No, I have no reason to believe he cannot be trusted, although not having met him I cannot say for sure, but I know there are those who would deceive you."

"Well, I'll be careful, but whoever these enemies may be, I won't let them shut me up in my home my whole life"

When the family arrived in Shang Simla, Mira spoke to Liang before he started teaching the children.

"Liang, you know I'm always happy to come out here to see you, but why is it so urgent to teach the children now? Dory and Dyan are only just teens, surely they have time before you need to train them?"

"I hope they do, but there are two reasons I wished them to come out and learn as soon as possible. The first is that the sooner they begin learning the more understanding of their powers they will have."

"And the second? What aren't you telling me honey?"

Liang sighed "You know that Mother has visions don't you? Well, her visions have become restricted. She knows that Dong Hua will try to break loose soon, but she can't see beyond that and she doesn't know who, if any, will survive."

Mira was stunned into silence at this revelation. She was terrified that after this visit, she'd never see Liang again.

From there, Liang gathered the triplets together first, and gave them the full story of their family history as he had explained it to Mira so many years ago now.

From there, he spoke to Dory and Dyan and told them the same thing. At the end of each recitation of the family history he told all the children that they were the next generation of guardians for the Dragon Cave and at least some of them would need to come back to China permanently to take their place guarding the world.

As the children absorbed the full impact of what their father had told them, Liang began teaching them all, firstly teaching them Sim Fu and then training them all in how to recognise and use their own unique powers.

Late that evening, Mira cornered her mother-in-law, Abi, and asked her about her visions.

"I am sorry my child, I cannot see past Dong Hua's next attempt to escape. I do not know why, it could be that I will not survive and my visions cannot see past my own death, or it could be that there are too many possible paths for me to see which will come to pass. However, there is a warning I must give you, your youngest daughter - Dorilys - there is a darkness around her. I do not think the darkness is coming from her but there is something seeking her and you must watch her and keep her safe."

Chapter Sixty Five

With the triplets having recently become teenagers and the twins' teenage birthday looming, Joshua was feeling his age somewhat and looking back over his life he wanted to leave his grandchildren a lasting legacy. So he bought a small property near their home and began work on turning it into a family museum.

He paid particular attention to the small garden he created there, planting perfect examples of every plant he had nurtured in his own garden.

Whilst inside he put up displays of Tamara's horseriding trophies together with several of Nia's photographs, a few relics Mira had brought back from China and miscellaneous bits and pieces the family had made or picked up over the years.

Nia was also aware of her grandparents' age and she asked both Joshua and Tamara to pose for her so that she could paint portraits of them.

Although the triplets had different interests, they also spent a lot of time together, especially when it came to sharing the burden of homework.

Not that that stopped them from enjoying their own pursuits, Karal had developed an interest in music as a child, but now that he was a teen he was often to be found playing a keyboard or other musical instrument.

Kyra and Kariny on the other hand continued to be fascinated by their childhood pursuits. Kariny was keen to become a scientist when she grew up and had already perfected quite a number of chemical potions, not that that stopped her trying to invent more!

While Kyra continued to try and invent new items for use around the house, although she did have the odd mishap while doing so!

The twins on the other hand, couldn't be more different. Dyan was rather a lazy child, he hated the outdoors and was never happier than lounging on the settee in front of the TV or playing video games on the computer.

While Dorilys loved to be active and outdoors. She loved nothing better than to be out and about, watching wild animals and coaxing them to come home with her or petting her grandmother's horses.

She found it impossible to understand why her twin didn't enjoy these things too and as a result what time she didn't spent out and about was spent alone with Nik, talking and playing. Nik seemed to understand her so much better than Dyan did and sometimes she wished he'd been her twin instead.

Soon enough it was time for Dorilys and Dyan's birthdays. Since their birthday fell on a weekend, Mira organised a massive party and invited not just their friends, but Nia's and the triplets' friends too.

The party was a huge success and Kyra started making some moves on young Zhanzu Yodsuan...

The main point of the party was of course the birthday cakes, Dorilys went first, and as she became a teen all her thoughts were on romance and who her first boyfriend would be.

Dyan went after her, and it was soon clear that he would be a very typical teen and hard to get out of bed in the mornings!

As the party wound down, only Dorilys saw Nik age up to match her age.
