. It's a little contemplative lol but here goes 
(crosses fingers)~LIz~
It seems as though everything we thought we understood about the seal and such is being contradicted… Michael and Max couldn’t have it at the same time, I would just assume that meant only one could have it. I guess it also brings up the question as to whether Isabel has a seal too… It’s a question that I want to ask, but for now I remain quite, holding back and listening.
The question remains as to what to do…a power that strong is dangerous without a doubt… I’m not saying that I don’t trust Xan, of course I do…Max and I tried to bring him up well, and I hope that he won’t forget the things we taught him, but it’s well known that power corrupts…
She finishes, Max begins to ask about other ways, but before she can answer the door opens, revealing Xan, Justin and Xada. I look up, and over at Xan. I can only hope that he will be able to forgive me for keeping this information from him… I didn’t want to hurt him, Max and I just wanted what was best, and as he was growing up, we thought that was to give him what he needed – a family…a mother and a father…
I love him like a son without a doubt, and thinking in that way, I can’t imagine how difficult it was for Tess to do what she did…
She let us think she was dead, let Xada believe Max was dead, and kept any knowledge of Xan from her… But in the end, I guess she did what she thought she had to…
Xada’s instructions basically tell us that the conversation is over. Her voice holds the same edge as I have heard from Max in the past… She’s a leader, anyone can see that…
Of course the danger is that as well as taking after Max, she does indeed take after Tess as Kyria said earlier… Anyone can see she thinks a lot of her mother, and who wouldn’t…it’s only natural…
Watching the two of them together I have to wonder if Max’s plan would work anyway though…? It takes little to see that they are already beginning to connect, and I strongly doubt that Xan is going to agree to leaving so soon…
Max bids Xada goodnight, and for a moment I wonder what I should do… I’m not really sure how to act around her, it’s not completely comfortable for either of us I’m sure but I want to try…I’d like to at least be on speaking terms… I look at her. “Thank you for your hospitality your Highness…”
With a small smile, I nod to Max as he kisses my forhead. I might not want to be parted from him, but I know that if anyone can help Sarah it’s Max right now…I think she needs a little reassurance that he’s still there for her, even now he knows about Xada. *Alright, we’ll be waiting for you…* then look over at the boys. “Come on…let’s go get some rest…” I tell them softly, walking over to them and following Isa out of the room.
Soon we’re being led down the corridors, through this amazing building. It seems strange, but I’m sure I recognise a few things from short flashes of Max’s memory that I have seen over the years…I don’t know this place, or not yet anyway, but he does I know…
We come to a stop outside two doors, one on either side of the corridor. She indicates that these are our rooms, and I thank her politely. Xan and Justin go into one, and after checking that they’re both alright, or as alright as they can be at the moment, I go into the other.
I close lean my back against the door, pushing it too and then walking over to the bed where I drop down, closing my eyes. I need to centre myself, to calm… I can feel my power surging just slightly and I concentrate, tempering it in the way I have learnt over many years.
Opening my eyes again, I look around the room, for the first time taking in it’s contents. It’s nice…luxurious even, but of course it’s unfamiliar, and I can’t deny I would be more comfortable in my own bed…
So much has happened over the years…so much to deal with… Getting here has cost so many people so much…
