Bruce knocked the door from its hinges, sending it flying hundreds of feet outside to crash into the barn. "Don't you dare, Caleb," he said, moving forward to stand next to Mica. "From our reaction alone you cannot possibly assume what he know or not. If you were in our position, you would react the exact same way! You can't say we don't understand and never will if you don't explain it better than her being a 'double agent'!" Bruce was furious. The one they had trusted more than any other, had been working with the enemy for information. How could he trust Caleb again knowing now that they were used? He shook his head, sitting down in a chair around the table. "I'm sorry, but I just don't know why. Caleb, WHY? Why keep us in the dark like this? At least explain it to us now that we caught on. And saying you just got it for information doesn't quite cut it. There is more going on. Don't think us stupid."

Mica moved to sit in a chair near Bruce. She reached out, taking her hand in his as she tried to calm him though her own feelings were raging within her.
Eavan moved to sit across from them, not wanting to be too close. She looked at Caleb as the anger she felt made her feel faint. She raised a hand to her head as she leaned on the table. “Can you both please try to calm down just a little. Your anger and emotions are going to make me pass out.” Eavan looked at Mica. “As the Huntress you know what I am talking about. My blood is that of yours. My great, great, great, great, … oh dang it’s too many. I am long descended daughter of Rhiannon and Kaiden. I share their powers and their blood. The Dark Lord does not know the extent of my power. He does not know that I am the one he has been waiting for. He does not know that I will help to bring about his downfall. My love and my child will survive this war. I will have the family that Rhiannon and Kaiden were denied. I am the most dangerous weapon against the Dark Lord. A woman in love willing to do anything to protect that love and her child. He will die and I will be there when he does. I will see the life extinguished from his eyes!”

"Bruce, leave. You have no place in this conversation, Hunter or not. You have no right to tell me how I should act and what I should do." Caleb said, putting his arm around Eavan, trying to calm her.

Bruce stood, taking a single, deliberate step forward, his face and voice calm. "And neither do you," he said levelly. "And don't forget who's house you're in right now. Spiritwalkers or not, even normal people should respect the home of the host." He turned and moved into the kitchen calmly, filling some glasses with water before returning and offering them to the others. "So. Speak."

"That's fine. Mica, if you want to hear what I have to say, follow me through the portal." he said as he opened up a portal to his favorite spot in the Spirit World.

Mica stood up and walked to where Caleb stood. She waved her hand and closed the portal. Softly she touched his mind. ‘Please sit down.’ She placed a hand on his shoulder as she guided him into the seat next to Eavan. “Let’s all take a breath and try this again.” She looked at Eavan as she asked, “Eavan are you feeling any better? You are right. I do know what it’s like to be among so many when their emotions are flying high.” Mica moved back to sit next to Bruce. She moved close, placing her hand upon his thigh as she lightly stroked it back and forth, sending him calming feelings.
Eavan took Caleb’s hand within hers as she kissed it then placed it over her belly. “Caleb you can understand why they are upset. You kept something very important from them even if it was for a good reason. Mica think about it. You can understand why he did what he did. He was protecting you as he has always protected you. The Dark Lord has been close to both of you many times but with Caleb’s help and great risk to myself, we have kept you safe. Bruce…if it was Mica’s life and the life of your unborn child at stake…what would you do?” Eavan turned her gaze back at Caleb. Her love shining brightly, strongly through her eyes.

Bruce looked down at the ground, his anger still strong but now under his control. "I would probably do the same," he admitted as he looked up at them. "There's no changing the past. All we can do now is be ready for the future. I feel alone in a hall because I don't know everything you all seem to. I don't completely understand what Caleb is talking about, nor what Mica is talking about. If you expect me to be able to help effectively, I'll need to know everything."

"Mica, you know what he doesn't know, so you can fill him in later. I'm sorry that I kept it from you, but it was for the safety of everyone. Bruce, you can see why I was tellin you to go, I knew you wouldn't understand anything of what was being said, I was going to ask Mica to explain it to you later." Caleb said, quickly getting his rage under control

Bruce shook his head, taking a sip from his water. "No, I wont leave," he said. "If I don't listen in now, this too will just have to be relayed to me again later. That would be a waste of time. I'll stay and just listen. Besides," he chuckled. "where would I go?"

Mica looked to all of them. “Alright. No one is going anywhere. We need to get past this and move on.”
Eavan closed her eyes as she laid her head on the table. “What is to understand? I fell in love with my sworn enemy. I have deceived my father and the only family I have ever known when I discovered the true nature of my lineage. He doesn’t know that I know. I have worked secretly to thwart his plans and bring him down so that I can save my child and my love.”

Bruce thought for a moment, his mind ablaze with dozens of possibilities. "The two women are right," he said. "Why is irrelevant now. What we need to do is figure out the next step, we can work out the rest later when we aren't so pressed for time. Tell me what to do, and you can count on me. But I must add in: if the Dark Lord is so strong to continuously take us down over the centuries, don't underestimate what he knows. There, my two cents are in." He smiled, relaxing now. The past was the past and they could not change what had happened. All they could do was plan for the future.

"I wasn't asking you to leave this time Bruce, and you are somewhat correct. The Dark Lord has thwarted us for centuries because, One, The Guardian never found the Huntress, Two, the Hunter never found the Huntress, and Three, sometimes none of them were bonded with their animals. So you see now why we already have the upper hand." Caleb explained.

Mica looked at Eavan. “There is something else that we have on our side…isn’t there Eavan.”
Eavan looked at Mica and softly shook her head. She knew Mica felt it. Eavan looked at Caleb as she took his hand within hers. “He doesn’t know that the weapon he has been trying to create for centuries is at hand.” Eavan closed her eyes as she took a breath. “I have the powers of both the Hunter and the Huntress. I have kept them hidden deep within, guarding them closely but now there is a bigger threat to him. The child that I carry, Caleb’s child, that of the Guardian, the last piece that he lacked all of these years. The one thing he never thought of to loose the power that he sought to control. This child has the power of all three: Hunter, Huntress, Guardian.” Eavan reached out and took a sip from her water. She placed it back down on the table. “The Dark Lord seeks the Triad of Light. His mistake is in thinking it is an artifact. I stumbled upon it in one of the texts that he made me read and study with him. The Triad of Light is the culmination of the three powers. It is two-fold. The text speaks of the powers combining from the three to defeat the darkness. It also alludes to a person but does not get any more specific than that.”

"So we have basically just created the one weapon to kill the Dark Lord?" Caleb asked.

Bruce listened intently, taking in all the information. He nodded as Eavan finished. His eyes widened. "Eavan...I'm sorry," he said, looking away ashamed. "I had no idea. . .was any harm done?"
