I had grown quite fond of Latch, perhaps the motherly instinct had awoken within me, something I never expected to happen. Then along came Loki, two children lost and abused by some sort of cult preying on children and kidnapping them for financial gain, teaching them to steal and sending them out to drag in the gold from crowds of people in cities and gatherings. I had started to feel like the Fens had become a sanctuary for lost children. Of all places in Britainia, who would have thought that of a swamp. The stories both children told was frightening, and the man looking for me could possibly be searching for these two kids, they had escaped the clutches of the organization that had held them prisoners to a life of crime but with the help of one man, they escaped the situation and had fled on a ship. Their escape had taken place during the horrific storms during early summer and both kids had wound up here, in the Fens, with me. Perhaps the storms were magical, and maybe my magical power, that has not been awaken, started them. Regardless the reason for the storms, there was still the man who had helped the children escape. Latch begged me daily for us to look for him. so I will prepare a ship to start the search and we will do all we can to find this savior of the children.
Time had passed and the man who helped these two kids was still missing, Latch was helping pack the small ship for the journey to look for this hero, the man she called Cole. I had given up on any help from anyone, same storm yet everyone was focused on another victim of the storm, perhaps cause it was apparent I did not need help on my task to beat. These were my kids now, Latch and Loki, and nobody looking for them was going to take them from me. They were now part of the Fens and the Fens protected me and my family for generations and these two kids were now my family. Latch was the stronger of the two, Loki had endured much floating adrift in the ocean for as long as she had so she will be left behind with the Sister I could trust to heal her and keep her safe. Looking at Latch , “ Are ya ready
?” , looking up at me Latch nodded and our journey was about to begin, the mission to find Cole and hopefully he was still alive and safe. Looking at the Fens from the deck of the ship, I wasn’t sure the magics that had caused all those spring and summer storms but it had been calm for many weeks and hopefully it would stay so until I returned , and may the spirits bring us back here. Persephone would watch over us, this I was certain. A Mother always watches over her children even when she is no longer seen….,
