The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 415 - The Medallion

Once he had played with them, Ileus's clothes were only as spoiled as his nephew and niece. It was past dusk and on nannies insistence Ileus had to literally pick them up, each in one hand, and get them inside the house. While the nannies took the kids to take a bath, Ileus went to take a shower. When he was playing with the kids, he realized that they were indeed not knowing how to control magic and it would become dangerous if not managed. The nannies were the first targets always, as the kids would often toss them around with the wave of their hands. To think what they could do more, made him shudder.

By the time Daryn returned, it was way past 9PM. Ileus was having dinner with the kids, Cole and Dawn. Ileus got up to give his usual bear hug to Daryn. The two brothers were pretty close. "Where's Caleb?" he asked.

"Don't ask!" Daryn rolled his eyes. "He is in Ixoviya and up to the neck with political games of alliances."

Ileus laughed. "It is necessary."

"Yeah," Daryn drawled as he opened his tie.

"Da-da!" the kids ran to him and he picked both of them up in each arm. The minute they came in his lap, they started recounting what all happened during the day and Daryn listened to them with so much attention as if they were discussing world politics. Dawn and Ileus followed him to the living room, after Dawn gave instructions to the servants to bring his dinner along with dessert over there only. When Dawn reached there, Daryn turned around and with kids in his arms, he bent over to kiss his female. "Gods, I love you," he whispered.

She chuckled.

Daryn sat on the sofa with Darius on his right thigh and Bianca occupying the left one. It took almost fifteen minutes when the kids finished with their reports. Daryn leaned back on the sofa with a half smile on his face. There was not a day he didn't feel blessed and hadn't thanked Skadi for giving him such a lovely family. All these years he had ferociously protected them. Once they had stopped talking, he looked at Ileus and said, "So what proposition do you have for them?" He didn't like the idea of controlling their powers, but Dawn had been insisting as hell for almost a month now and he had to finally relent.

Ileus pursed his lips. He looked at the kids fondly and said, "Why don't you put them to sleep?"

"No, they should know what is happening," said Dawn.

Ileus sighed. "Okay." He dug his hand into his jacket's pocket and took out a slender blue velvet box, which he placed on the side coffee table. "Do you remember Isidorus?" he asked Daryn.

"Of course!" said Daryn with a frown. Isidorus was a living legend of the wizard kingdom. He had met him once or twice when he had visited Ileus several years back.

"In order to stop me from traveling in time, he had given me a medallion which was suffused by Elder's magic. My father, Dmitri, made me wear it when I had entered the school. They had their reasons and I appreciate that."

Yes, they had their reasons because little Ileus was traveling in time so frequently that it was messing with Adrianna and Dmitri's daily life. Controlling their son had become a national issue in the wizard kingdom and when he had gone to attend the boarding school in Switzerland where he had to stay amongst humans.

Ileus continued, "I had removed that medallion once I was back in the kingdom." He traced the edge of the velvet box fondly. "I had talked to Isidorus about these kids and he was of the opinion that the only thing that could control their sorcery is a powerful magic from the Elder. So he went back to him in the Tibris Mountains and requested him to give two medallions." He paused and picked up the velvet box to open it. He retrieved two small, ancient-looking medallions hung from a short length of leather. "These are specially enchanted," he said.

Daryn's gaze was fixed on them and so was Dawn. Both had one emotion, one doubt—a big one, in their minds.

"Will this have any adverse effect on my kids?" asked Daryn, as he circled the children in his arms and held them tightly to his chest.

Ileus laughed. "Do you think I am going to do anything to your children before I have tested it on me?" He was amused at Daryn's doubt. "And I am hurt that you are not believing me or trusting me."

Dawn cleared her throat. "Ileus, please don't be offended. I understand that you have got these medals with a lot of difficulty, but as parents, we are overly paranoid of everything. The fact that they are the heirs of the Silver Clan has nothing to do with it. It is more that these are all we will ever have."

"I am sorry," Ileus apologized. After a moment's pause he said, "I have tested this on my mother."

"By Skadi!" Daryn gasped. "On Adrianna?"

"Why?" Dawn was amused by Daryn's reaction.

"She is the most powerful werewolf and witches in the two realms!" Daryn looked at Ileus. "And what was the result?"

"The magic in these controlled her powers to a great extent, and honestly she hated it. It was like holding her second nature, like locking her soul and throwing it into a fathomless sea. In short, she hated it!"

"Wow!" Daryn almost whistled.

"The truth is that I am glad that you are going to control the power of these kids because they will grow assuming that this is normal. Maybe when they are older and understand better, you can remove this."

"What if they remove it on their own?" asked Dawn.

"Umm… Honestly, I always forgot about it and was so used to it, that it became a part of my body. So I highly doubt they will remove it. Moreover removing it isn't easy. They have to genuinely wish for its removal, and the enchantment has to be broken after that. There's a spell for breaking the medallion magic… kind of a key, which I will let you know."

Dawn took a deep breath. She looked at her kids and silently prayed to God that he forgave her. But this was important. She nodded and then looked at Daryn.

"Well, in that case, hang them on the kids' necks, Ileus," said Daryn.

Ileus rose to his feet and walked up to the kids who were now half sleepy. "What is it da-da?" asked Bianca.

"A small gift baby…" he murmured.

As soon as Ileus hung the leather around Darius's neck, a soft breeze started blowing through the windows fluttering the curtains. However, as soon as he hung it on Bianca's neck, a gust of howling wind rushed in. Curtains flew and chairs skidded and screeched across the floor. Daryn held his kids tightly and pressed their heads in his chest as he looked at Ileus with horror in his eyes.

"What is happening?" he asked with a heated gaze.

"Gods!" Ileus exclaimed. Then he looked at Bianca. "We have to remove the medallion from her sooner than him. Nature doesn't want us to control the flow of her magic…" His eyes were wide.

Dawn gulped. She looked at Bianca, who was simply examining her medallion. Darius was already sleeping.
