be careful. I don’t want anything to happen to him.”
“Nothing bad will. It’s the observing stage. He can’t start the other stuff until he can walk well and take instruction. That’s about age three—ish.”
Adele smiled and walked to me. I welcomed it and we kissed while Seth was still playing with the spoon. “Okay. Besides, it’s not like you’ll be here that much to teach him anyway.”
“Love. Just tell me if it’s bothering you. We could always move back to the city.”
“No. I don’t want him growing up in that environment.”
“What environment? Civilization?”
“No. Since he has this gift, he doesn’t need to live anymore like everything is just given to him and it would be if we lived at the palace. I don’t want him to grow up that way.”
“All right. I understand but can you stop talking about my being away so much? I don’t want to feel like I’m doing something wrong.”
“You’re not. I’m just still trying to get used to it. It’s like you’re gone even more than you’re here these days and I miss you.”
“I know. I miss you just as much but it’s not like I have a choice. I’m doing this for our future.”
“I realize that but if you also want to be in your son’s life, you’ll have to be here for it.”
“Well, we have a little while before we’ll be needed again. At least a few months so we can make plans.”
Adele smiled. “Good because I told my father we’d bring the boys to visit.”
I laughed. “I see. Well, it looks like we’ll all be going.”
“Exactly what he expects. You can go tell the others dinner is almost ready and take him with you so I can finish it and get this food out there.”
“Okay.” I walked over and picked up Seth. “You heard your mother. Better do as she says. No one wants the alternative. Come on, Rift.”
He happily followed and we left to do what Adele asked; I was just glad the fight was over.

We were yet again having another dinner together but this one seemed more unusual. I kept noticing that Seth was trying to get his father’s attention but Zayden just sat and ate like he didn’t exist.
It didn’t seem long before others started to notice as well and Jaylyn was first to verbally point it out. “Ah, Zayden? I think Seth wants your bread because you have your hand on it.”
“Oh, I know he wants it. I’m stopping him from taking it.”
Huh? It was one of those times when everyone would have asked it but said nothing, only the look on our faces spoke the confusion.
“But he can’t reach your plate.” I said.
Zayden looked over at Adele and she nodded. “All right, Seth. You can have it.” Zayden moved his hand from the bread and it lifted off his plate and moved over to Seth. He got it and immediately put it in his mouth.
“Adele, did you give that to him?” Troy asked.
“No. It wasn’t me.”
“If it wasn’t you and it couldn’t have been any of us then who was it?” Darius asked.
Adele and Zayden looked over at Seth.
“Oh, shit! No way!” This time I spoke my reaction yet I still couldn’t believe it. “He did that? Are you sure?”
“Yup.”
“I don’t believe you. Let’s see it again.” Jaylyn said.
Zayden got up and took the bread from Seth. He was fussing and reaching for it again until Zayden put it down and it started moving over to him. He was happy when he got it back and it went right back in his mouth.
“That’s still hard to believe even after seeing it a second time.” Troy said. “He can actually control it for what he wants and he’s only a year old. That’d be nice if the other two would make it that easy.”
“Maybe we can start testing them.” Darius said. “Dirk hasn’t done it since that incident at his introduction dinner.”
“Be careful with that.” Zayden replied. “You wouldn’t want to rush it. Their powers may not be fully developed enough for full control. You can try
