Busy Busy Busy. It seemed things were picking up again for Ianna and that was a good thing. The faster the wands found their guardians the faster she got to close down shop for a while and simply relax. Matilda had returned - and that meant wands resurfacing at some point. And where Matilda had gone to...It wasn't known to her. Whatever happened, Ianna didn't ask. She didn't want to know.
Currently she was writing notes on Coailiann in her own journal - and the subject of said writings was practicing her English diligently across the desk from her mother.
While Ianna wanted the findings to be done, she couldn't help liking the peacefulness of spending time with her daughter. They grew up too fast.

She wasn't sure what it was about the shop that caught her eye, but she insisted to at least poke her head in.
"Lady, we really shouldn't be looking in shops, and illkept ones at that," came a sweet, flowing voice from outside.
"I can't help it, El," came another voice, this one harboring a slight Japanese accent. "You know about me and my feelings."
"But we're to be looking for a place to move. It's very important, you know. Celina can't sleep in your bed forever."
Soon, the two figures were in the doorway. A smaller statured woman with sandy blonde hair and cat ears and tail peered around with doe brown eyes, hipping a small child with silver hair.
The other was a semi-angelic being that looked more or less like a walking candycane, with large red wings that she did her best to press against her back and keep them out of the way.
The golden eyed girl sneezed, rubbing her face against her "mother's" chest.
"Bless you, baby." She smoothed down the girl's hair and tapped her finger against the crescent moon mark on her head.

Coailiann was the first to jump up, waving her hand wildly. New people! And Guardians! She could tell. She didn't know quite how she had the ability that her elder sister did...Perhaps it was because Matilda was the one who had found her, rather than her mother? Nonetheless, Coailiann knew. Not giving her mother a chance to say anything, the Sidhe gave a bounce.
"Welcome to Ghosts of the Past! You're a G--"
Abruptly, a hand clamped over her mouth, "Hello. Forgive my daughter..." and in a quieter whisper, "Tact, darling."
The Sidhe nodded her head until the hand was removed and she smiled charmingly, giving a small curtsey, "May we help you?" A flush was on her cheeks from being scolded, but that was all right - she needed color anyway. The pale haired girl with the green eyes and a pretty white dress.
Her coloreds were dirty.

The silvery haired girl jumped up in startlement and blinked down at the girl.
"Hi-lo," she answered, returning the wave.
Bowing slightly (as well as she could with a small girl on her hip), the neko hanyou smiled.
"Oh, it's no problem. I have plenty in my own rabble; I understand how children can be." She hefted her own small one higher on her hip and smiled very warmly. It was obvious she was a very motherly woman. Hell, she almost literally had the word 'sucker' painted on her forehead. "Regardless, I'm just here to look..."
Elysia, however, was already looking around, a very confused look on her face. She'd never been in a shop that sold wands. Very curious...

"Ah, so you won't care that yo--" once more a hand came over Coailiann's mouth and she gave an angry look up at her mother. Obviously the sidhe was lacking patience today, or rather, she wanted to go back to spending time alone with her mother. For once, she wasn't nagging her. She liked it.
Ianna shook her head a bit, "Well, I have this lovely book over here..." Obviously Coailiann knew that a guardian had arrived - and therefore...She had to bring out the Book.
The dark leather book was brought out from behind the desk and placed carefully atop it, "Do you like books?"

Elysia frowned as she stood in front of a shelf of wands. Something... was off about all this.
The woman blushed a little bit. She wasn't the best reader. While she spoke fluent English, her reading skills weren't exactly up to par. She approched the desk and tilted her head to one side.
"Books are alright, yes." She shook her head with a sigh, then looked at the cover of it. At least those words were simple enough. It said The Book of Life and Death. Her blush remained on her cheeks, however. This was a bit embarassing.

Coailiann harumphed again and went to stand beside her mother, peering out at the two with amused green eyes. That older woman spoke strangely...Then again, so did she. In fact, the woman sounded more like her best friend than anything else. That made her okay in her book. She remained quiet for her mother.
"Could you take a look inside, please? It's very important..." Okay, she couldn't be straight up and honest. If she had told people they were parents before the touched the book, do you think they'd stick around? The wands couldn't acknowledge without the book doing so first. Then the souls would die.
The minute that the woman touched the book, an invisible wind picked up in the shop, blowing the cover open, pages rustling and blowing about until it landed on a well worn page. On the page was a very beautifully detailed sketch of a wooden wand, a pearl-like egg wrapped in wood at the tip. Below it read:
"Harpy. Wand ID 00031. A Soul has been trapped within the confines of the wand. Congratulations, you have become the next guardian to take on the task of raising it from infancy to greatness. We, Ianna and I, have the upmost faith in you to complete your task dutifully. Best of luck,
Matilda."
"Harpies are females, right?"

Tenoh Aiko
Aiko wasn't sure what to make of this book, but she reached for it and set her hand on the cover, pulling her hand back quickly as the breeze played with her hair.
Celina shivered and burried her face into her mother's chest, almost crawling about to hide within the confines of her out-of-season-jacket.
Elysia rushed over to the desk and, before Aiko could ask, read the note aloud for her, as she was sure she'd ask in just a moment.
When Elysia was done, Aiko blinked and shook her head as she tried to make sense.
"Does this mean what I think it means?"
Elysia sunk a little bit. Unbelievable. Whenever her Lady got "a feeling", she almost always ended up coming home with an new addition to their large, quickly growing family.
"If you're thinking you're about to become the mother of another child, then I think so, m'Lady." She turned to the other and slowly nodded. "Yes, Harpies are female. They're winged women from Greek lore, said to have served the gods in dealing punishments."

"YEP!" Coailiann said, skittering around the desk and away from her mother before the woman could clamp her mouth again, "You got one of me! Well...Sort of..." she paused a moment to look back at her mother, who nodded. Apparently she could explain if she wanted to.
"We're...We have a second life. We died, but we were brought back. We don't know how or why, though. I mean..I saw pictures and memories and..." she trailed off, fighting back a shudder, "Yeah. We're magic."

Tenoh Aiko
Magic. It was one of the things that caused her a great deal of harm during the War. Little did they know that this woman had several scars hidden by clothing that were caused by magic imbuned claws and fangs, or even blasts of demon magic itself. It was the reason why she was dressed so unseasonably.
But she couldn't help but look down at the girl and smile a bit. She thought she started to understand a little quicker than others perhaps would. The girl she held in her arms had come out of a gemstone, the gemstone of which was still embedded in the middle of the girl's chest.
"You... your spirits were put inside of these wands after you died?" she asked, setting her pointer finger on the elaborate sketch, making sure she'd added two and two correctly.

This was the part Coailiann was unsure of and Ianna took over, stroking her daughter's hair lightly as she came around the desk.
"Sort of. Some of them were, some of them weren't. After The War...Between the People of Thought and People of Dreams.." she wondered how many truly had heard of the war? Had they done that good a job of keeping the happening concealed? "Matilda, my daughter, was betrayed. She was called a witch and burned at the stake. But before that, she cast a spell to bring her back to life to make changes. She trapped herself in her wand and I was the one who woke her. She cast the spell, a more general one, to capture net the souls of magic folk who had died before and during the war in a wrong or painful death. They were trapped in wands after the spell, since they had been trapped in Limbo...unable to move on."

Tenoh Aiko
"And then are given a second chance." Aiko breathed slowly and deeply, staring down at the page that Elysia had read aloud. "So, there's a wand somewhere that looks like this, with a Harpy trapped inside...?"
Kyrianna
Ianna nodded and reached behind the desk, picking up the rough wooden wand and handing it over to her. The moment the wood made contact with flesh, it flashed a bright white light and pulsated like a warm beating heart before it faded into nothingness once more.
"You're acknowledged. You're tied to her, now."
"You're acknowledged. You're tied to her, now."
Tenoh Aiko
As she held the wand, she gazed down on it. It felt... alive. She didn't have a choice in the matter, but then again, she would never turn down another living creature when it needed her help. Aiko's heart was simply too big for her to do something like that.
Celina, unable to help herself, poked at the feathers that dangled from it and ran her hand along the wood.
"Careful," Aiko warned, bouncing the girl to get her hand away from the wand. "I don't want you getting a splinter." She looked up at the woman in front of her, thinking of what to ask next. So many questions, so little time. "How would I take care of her?"
Elysia was a little antsy, and shifted her weight. They needed to go and continue looking for a new house, especially since Aiko seemed to be picking up strays left and right.

"Right now, you just stay with her. Try not to leave the wand alone for too long, if you can. Show her that you accept her. She'll wisp then slowly solidify. Don't let her get blown away, or she'll die a final death. After she solidifies, she'll become a baby. Once she feels safe."
It was all the advice that Ianna could give, in all honesty, and she was already starting towards the headquarters door.
"Here, follow me. I'll show you where the other guardians come and where Coailiann and I live."
her head, "No, the wand was just acknowledging you. There will be two more stages after the wand before the child emerges completely. A wisp and a baby ghost. These are the most fragile times for the child so make sure you don't let them get sucked up by something..."
She paused a moment, "It's time to show you the headquarters. Follow me."
The woman stood from her seat and moved to the door to the right of the desk. When opened, it looked completely dark as if it lead to nowhere. She stepped through, obviously expecting the woman to follow.
As they entered the main lobby Via the portal connecting the shoppe and the headquarters, the first thing noticable was the vast...largeness...of it. The high ceilings, edged with gold, the large chandeliers dripping with crystals, the smooth white tile-floors, colorful rugs, and beautiful paintings.
To the left was a large recreational area complete with a large flat-screen television, several rows of various games, movies, video game systems and books. There was a basket of toys in the corner, full of plushies, dolls, cards and various other objects which would appeal to most ages. Included in the area were several comfy looking couches and plush chairs just made for sitting, lounging or bouncing in. It seemed to be heaven on a fluffy carpet. It even had a foos-ball table and an air-hockey table....and for the slightly more food-minded GoTP, a mini fridge always full.
To the right was a large elaborate counter, which seemed to have a force-field of some sort around it, keeping anyone who was not Ianna or Matilda from going behind it. On the counter lay a roster with the names of all the Ghostly children and their guardians, and an appointment book.
From there, it branched off into halls with rows and rows of rooms. Some were storage, some were guest rooms, some were bathrooms, and one very large and ornate door to the end of the hall led to the gardens.
"Well, this is it."
Coailiann followed in after her, quietly.

Take the wand everywhere with you. Don't let the whisp blow away, wait until it becomes a child. Right.
"Oh, well, thank you," she said as she was offered to be shown the headquarters.
Well, it certainly didn't look like the shop held all of this. The three females were in complete awe as they crossed the portal into the headquarters.
"Didn't look this big from the outside."
"Most certainly not," Elysia agreed as she took to wandering around, exploring things. "It's very big here."
Celina's eyes grew slightly round as she spied what children were so adpt to spying. Toys! Squirming and letting out a whine, she let her mother know that she wanted town. She wanted to play with the toys!
"What's wrong, baby?" She looked at her daughter, then followed her gaze to the box. Looking back at the woman, she tilted her head towards the box in question. "Would you mind if she went to play?"

"Not at all, that's what they're there for...." Ianna answered, sitting herself down on her desk and looking at the three in the headquarters, "The place doesn't look big because it isn't. We're not in Gaia any more right now."
She cracked a smile, wondering what kind of reaction that would warrent.

Tenoh Aiko
Aiko was setting Celina down when she heard the statement and whirled back around, sandy brown hair whirling almost perfectly with her.
"Eeeeuh, hontou ni? Atashi-tachi doko ka?" If it wasn't aparent before that this woman was Japanese, it was now. She had a bad habit of slipping into her native tongue when she was startled.
Elysia sighed and walked up behind Aiko, setting a hand on her shoulder.
"What Lady here is trying to say is where are we?" It was a question asked without too much worry. Elysia was, after all, a winged creature and could easily get back home with Aiko and Celina in tow. However, she doubted this would be needed, as it was obvious this woman and her child would need to get back somehow as well.
Celina, as children have a habit of doing, dashed over to the toybox and happily dug in, not much hearing what was going on. Then again, she had only heard her 'mother' say something in Japanese, and the girl hadn't learned the language. Yet.

"My daughter created a pocket realm. It's only entrances, that I know if, are in this room. One for my daughter, and one is the one we just walked through. Don't worry," she assured at the look on Aiko's face, "It's easy to work through, people do it all the time. But it's...safe this way."
She shrugged her shoulders and looked at the child playing with the toys, a smile on her lips, "Reminds me of Coailiann when she was young."
Coailiann perked, "Mmm?"
"Nothing, dear."

Tenoh Aiko
Celina had found a puzzle that probably toteled about twenty pieces all together, and had poured them on the floor and started putting it together.
Elysia nodded. That explained it then.
Not understanding much about pocket realms, Aiko grinned over at the newer (couldn't say newest anymore!) addition to her family.
"This is the fourth time I've been through this. I have a rather large family of my own." She was silent for amoment, remembering her other children when they were that small. They grow up so fast... "Oh, where are my manners?" She turned back to Ianna and bowed very traditionally. "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tenoh Aiko. This is Elysia, my 'Guardian Angel', and the little one over there is Celina. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu."
Elysia, though not Japanese, bowed the same way. She'd learned a lot in her past year and a half living with the woman.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," she translated.

"A pleasure to meet you. I'm Ianna, that's Coailiann...Or Kay, either one." Ianna nodded towards the sidhe girl now occupied on the couch with one of her disney movies. The sidhe raised her hand, gave a wave, and went back to watching Mickey Mouse.
"I don't have too big a family. I have four children, two by my...Well, boyfriend?" she looked confused for a moment, "Anyway, they're his. Coailiann and her eldest sister, Matilda by...wands."
"I don't have too big a family. I have four children, two by my...Well, boyfriend?" she looked confused for a moment, "Anyway, they're his. Coailiann and her eldest sister, Matilda by...wands."
Tenoh Aiko
She nodded slightly, then chuckled.
"I know all there is to know about large families. In fact, with the addition of Celina, we've outgrown our house."
"And not to be rude," Elysia said as she cleared her throat, "but we need to continue house hunting." She shook her finger. "No more side tracks that end up with more family members!"
"Ara ara." Aiko slapped her forehead. "It's very hot outside." Of course, she wasn't dressing the part, as she was wearing a rather bulky jacket and long pants.
Celina quickly put the puzzle together and smiled at the picture of the pony that seemed to smile back, then blinked up and started watching the Disney movie.

"You can get some bottles of water from the little fridge if you'd like. It was nice meeting you and perhaps you'll return. Little one needs to interact with those of her kind, after all."
Ianna indicated to the mini fridge before sliding off the desk and walking towards the couch.

"Much appreciated, and of course I'll be back." Aiko nodded as she crossed the floor to the fridge, retrieving a cool bottled water. She stared at it for a moment.
'Those her kind'... Well, this certainly will be interesting.
Parenthood always was.
"Come on, Celina, we need to go."
Celina looked up at Aiko and pouted a little, but luckily, she was one of the more obedient children, and she cleaned up the puzzle mess before dashing over to her mother, who scooped her up into her arms.
"It's been nice meeting you. Both of you." Elysia nodded at Ianna.

"Bye!" Coailiann said, obviously uninterested in the leaving people and focused on the video that was playing on the large television screen. Ianna rolled her eyes at her child's rudeness and made a mental note to talk to her about it later.
"Be safe. You exit the same way you entered.
"Be safe. You exit the same way you entered.

"Thank you." The hanyou smiled warmly as she walked toward the portal, wand in one of her hands that held Celina upright.
"Good bye," Celina said, waving her tiny hand.
Aiko looked at her and closed one eye.
"And in Japanese?"
"Ja ne, because sayonara is for a very very long goodbye."
"Good girl. Ja, Ianna."
Elysia smiled her own farwell as she followed her Lady with a sigh. Nigel will be thrilled to learn that Aiko had come home with yet another addition to the family.
