Haily's grin froze when Loki added, "Well, we have slept together, but it was just the once. I don't think it counts."

Chapter Five

Of course, her sisters would take that moment to walk in. The shrieks of laughter and astonishment almost drowned out Eduard's roar of disbelief and Loki's gasp as Haily punched him in his already-bruised ribs.

"We slept in the same bed. Nothing happened, Dad."

As they stood and she tried to plead her innocence, Rathor came back up over the railing, "You will be mine, magus. Come here."

He was definitely worse for wear, his blonde hair partially torched and sticking up, his skin blackened in places and eyes glazed.

Loki shrugged. He had no more water.

"Fine."

She spit in her hand and before her sisters could finish yelling, "Oh gross!" she blasted her power through the saliva and knocked him unconscious.

Loki shook his head in amazement. "A true spit ball. Interesting."

Morag shook her head, "That is amazing, Haily. A water magus. Who would have thought it?"

Haily looked to her mom, "You know what I am?"

"I have read of them, everyone has. But no one has seen one in centuries." She shook her head again.

Haily went to her mother and held her by the shoulders. "Why did you forbid me from learning to swim?"

Morag blushed and looked over at Loki. "I don't think this is the place for this discussion."

"This is the perfect place. Now, why wasn't I allowed in the water when my sisters all had lessons?"

"We thought there was mer-blood in our bloodline. There was a reference to blue hair, water and power as well as gills in one of our family histories. Your father and I just assumed that…"

Haily sighed and took one of her mother's hands, placing it over her gills. "Water magus. How do you think that I can be in the ocean if I can't breathe in it?"

"Oh." Morag looked at her and then dawning understanding finally struck. "Oh, oh gods, Haily. I had no idea."

She leaned forward and hugged her mom. "Not a problem, Mom. But that is what the power problem was. I am designed to function underwater. The water slows everything down."

Eduard suddenly came in on the hug and smaller impacts indicated that April, May and June were in on it. A full Danvers hug. One of only five in history.

When they finished their hug and parted, Haily moved to stand beside Loki. "Mom, Dad, I want to finish getting the hang of this. I will be staying out here for a while."

Eduard grew suspicious. "How long is a while?"

"She will be safe with me, Magus Danvers." Loki wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to his side. "She will be given property put aside by the councils for just such a being and she will have full access to all implements and libraries that she requires. We are prepared to forward her learning. Ah, here they are."

A surge of shark shifters came over the railing. One came over and nodded to Loki. "The area is clear of dolphin shifters.
