Casualties of War (Part 4)
Village of Rosemont, Una Ogham-Duir….
Endora and Starr stepped out of the portal. They were in the garden behind Aura’s cottage.
“I don’t know if I can do this.” Starr said. “I don’t think I can tell him that his father is never coming home.”
“Starr, you can’t lie to him.” Endora looked behind her at the portal. “I wonder what’s keeping Grim. He must have stayed to talk to Nolan about something.”
“You should have let me strangle that bloody bird.” Starr’s eyes flashed with anger. “He doesn’t know anything more than we do.”
Suddenly,the back door opened and Kyo came running out. His red hair gleamed in the sunshine and sparks were flying from his fingers. “Mummy!” He ran over to Starr and wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. “I missed you. I’ve been having fun.” He peaked over at Endora. “Hi ‘Dory.”
“Hello sweetheart.” Endora smiled and his freckled face.
“He and Dragas have been doing all manner of things.” Aura said from the doorway. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked outside. “Any news?”
“No! We didn’t find out anything at all.” Starr ruffled Kyo’s curls.
Grim walked through the portal and it closed. “Sorry I didn’t mean to take so long. I was just telling Nolan where to find us.” Grim bowed to Aura. “My Lady.”
“Hello Grim.” Aura smiled. “We’re just making lunch. Come in and have some and rest a while. I would love the company. Dragas had to go to Zestra for Privy Council.”
“We should be going.” Starr said. “I have imposed on you long enough.”
“Nonsense.” Aura shook her head. “We love to have Kyo with us.”
Kyo looked up and asked. “Mummy, where is Papa?”
Starr glanced back at Endora and Grim before she knelt down to answer him. “Kyo, your papa is busy fighting the thunderbirds and he will be home when he can. We just need to be patient and wait for him. Do you think you can do that?”
Kyo nodded then he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her toward the back door. “Come have soup. I helped make it.”
“I’m coming.” Starr said as she let him pull her inside.
Aura waited until they were inside before she turned to Endora. “What did you really find out?”
“He was most likely captured by the thunderbirds and if he was then he will die soon if he isn’t dead already.” Endora said quietly. “She should have told Kyo that his father isn’t coming home.”
“She is grieving. When she is ready, she will tell him.” Aura turned to look towards the door. “Right now, she has to find a way to restart her life. She is a single parent of a very unusual boy. She needs our support and love.”
“Starr is strong. She will find a way to move on from this.” Grim pulled off his gloves. “I need to wash up a little before I have some of that soup.”
“Go on in.” Aura smiled. “I want a word with Endora before we join you.”
Grim bowed his head and went inside.
“What are you going to lecture me about now?” Endora sighed.
“Endora, she isn’t ready to face being without him. Give her time and don’t push.” Aura glanced at the door. “If you force her face things before she is ready, it will just restart the grieving process all over again and that only hurts her. Do you understand?”
“Yes I do.” Endora let out a breath. “It’s just that I think it would be easier on them both if they grieve together.”
“It’s her choice to do it this way so let her.” Aura pulled Endora by the arm into the house. “Come have some of the fine soup Kyo and I made.”
Endora had a feeling that Aura knew something that she wasn’t saying but she trusted that Aura would tell her when the time was right. Aura always knew just when to tell her things.
