“Ok, boys. said Tory, still in the deep of the Magic forest. I’m going to shrink both of them so we can all pitch in and help. They’re going to need some powerful spells cast—especially him.” She pointed her eyes onto the one who was unconscious. Blink. The humans shrunk—fitting in one of her palms.
“Now, you take your brother’s hand, Jonah, and you take mine, Joseph.” She blinked them all back to her mom and dad’s abode.

Tory had they boys make a bed with soft face cloths to lie the humans on until she could make up one of the unused rooms. She wove magical spells, making brooms sweep cobwebs out corners and mops polish the floors. Fresh linens brought themselves out of the closet nearby and plunked themselves neatly on each bed.
She put them off the kitchen where she knew she could better keep and eye on them and she could hire a nurse for each being. She knew if they were descendants of the Ripper Order, their lives were essential to helping to keep the Seven Realms from suffering unnecessary chaos. She knew she, Simon, Charles, Sophie and Nonny must do everything within their powers combined between them to keep these men alive. She could even teach the boys a little more about magic and why it so important to use wisely.
She knew the twins had a lot to learn. Each child was different when discovering and getting comfortable with their magical powers. Similar to someone having an inborn fear of heights or a being claustrophobic. The same was true with magic, some children embraced it without fear, others were more hesitant.
Tory was all for it. She remembered the horrible experience her parents suffered when she almost drank blood that was poisonous to her. She’d almost died. That’s why her father was so overprotective of her and fought to keep her safe in Magic and not out galavanting the world. Once she met Simon Drayton, who was a client of her designer extraordinaire brother, Alexandru, they eventually fell in love.
