Part 2

Ashley was the only child that stayed, that was only because she fell asleep on my bed next to me.

I was starting to feel the effects of the day also. Evelyn, Amena, also shared the bed. At least it was big enough!

There were no discussions as to what had happened to us. All we did was stuff our faces with good old Junk Food, which all of us liked. The programming after the movie was terrible so we switched off the television.

"Mom, do you want me to carry Ashley to bed?" Brianna asked.

"Hon, I think she's fine right where she is. She needs to be by her family. She needs to feel secure. If you girls want to go to bed go ahead. I know your husbands are probably waiting for you."

"Mom, you should know Hank by now. He's obsessed with sex. If they were back, he would be knocking down your door for me. I love him but he really wants us to have a family." Kristen said.

"My darling Sister, If you think Hank is bad you should live with Pete. I can't even bend over anywhere in the house without losing my panties. Actually, I forgot I very rarely wear them. I hate to think what he was like when he was in his teens." Victoria said giggling.

"What the hell did I do raise sex fiends! Please, my Virgin Ears!"

"You better get use to it Mom. At least we have someone to talk to now that will understand what we go through. I for one think it's great to have a mother again. If you think the three of us are bad wait until baby sis next to you gets older. Do you remember when we were teenagers?" Brianna said giggling.

"By the Goddess! I forgot all about that. All you thought about were boys. The three of you even tried to sneak your boyfriends into the house through your bedroom window."

"Until you caught us! We couldn't sit down for a week after you caught us. I don't know what was worse the embarrassment of the spanking or you grounding us." Kristen said blushing to a bright colored red.

"Was that the time that Freddie was caught also?" Evelyn asked.

"Oh, you remember that episode! I caught him and Julie the next morning in Julie's bed having sex. I think she was about twelve or thirteen."

"Yeah, At breakfast the next morning when Julie didn't come downstairs, that's when they all snitched on her. They were all angry about being caught after I found out about their boyfriends trying to get in.

That was also the day Julie confessed, to me how she was really Transgendered.

That's when I also told Julie, she had to abide by the same rules of the house as the girls did and to share all the chores with them. Julie was also told she could dress in any manner she wanted to without repercussions by anyone."

"Mom, Auntie, I hope you don't mind but I think we're going to get ready for our husbands return." Kristen said with a grin and suppressing a yawn.

"I'll see you all in the morning. I love all of you very much."

They all kissed us and left the room in a happy mood.

As I looked around the room, I could see that Gerri, Amena, Liz, Carolyn and Jaime had drifted off to sleep in various locations of my bedchamber.

I reached over to the nightstand and turned down the lights. I happened to look over at Ashley and Evelyn they too were asleep.

I appreciated the silence. Though every now and then the curtain of silence was pierced by a snore from one my companions. Who ever it was I wished they got their Adenoids fixed!

I finally drifted off to sleep. Again, I was dreaming! I was dressed again as a Medieval Lady of the Court carrying my velvet slippers in my hand. This time I was along a body of water. The Lady Nimue came to me from the depths of that body of water walking gracefully towards me.

"My Sister, Merry Meet. The Mother Goddess has spoken to me and Blesses you and yours. I pass on these words from her.

Thy Love and good fortune thee share with those around thee shall be shared with all under thy roof.

Thy daughters and thyne mates shall all have thyne wishes fulfilled ten fold. All ye Sisters will be wi bairnes in twelve seasons including thee.

Thee and Thyne mate will perpetuate the Mother Goddess as thy own mother did.

Bri'de, Thy and thy Sisters and Daughters must follow the REDE. Be thee Good Witches that follow the Path. Follow thy Rule of Three forever. So Mote It Be!"

"So Mote it Be! Will my sisters and daughters know of what you said to me? I ask that they know of this revelation so they may prepare for the Bairns to come."

"My sister, they share this revelation with thee, even thyne family in far off London Town.

Thee hast found Sorcerers Stone. Thou must be maiden and purified to enter. Thy Master's Minions at yon Lair will challenge you.

Thee will find a stone as black as night without starlight, in silver crypt. Thee must summon thy powers of Draclyon to destroy it or the Master will return to enslave humankind."

"Sister, what is this stone?"

"It is the essence of the Master Myrddin. He has had many seasons to contemplate and conspire to destroy the Maiden, Mother Goddess, and Crone. If not done your world and others will be enslaved by him. My Sister, Merry Meet, Merry Part, Merry Meet Again, Blessed Be."

I awoke with Ashley holding me very tight and sobbing softly.

"Darling, Please don't cry. I'm right here. What's wrong?"

Ashley composed herself long enough to tell me about my meeting with Nimue. She said exactly what Nimue had spoken of.

Carolyn came over to the bed, sitting down next to me and Ashley saying, "I dreamed the same thing. What the hell is going on?"

"Even though you are not an initiate you have to be told."

I proceeded to tell her everything that had happened to us, of course Evelyn and Ashley woke up too.

"When I was a child the most popular of stories were about Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Are you seriously saying that it's true?" Carolyn asked.

"My Dear Doctor, Take a look around you! You and Gerri did the physicals on each and everyone of us. You've known Gerri for years and have had intimate relations with the male Gerri.

You've read all of our previous Health Records and studied our medical tests. How in the Hell do you explain the transformations and age regressions? How do you explain the amount of women that are now virgins? We can't even explain everything that has happened!"

"I can't believe I'm sitting here getting my Arse reamed by a very pretty precocious thirteen year old girl and taking it like a first year medical student.

You must look at my point of view. What has happened defies all the laws of Mother Nature, Biologics, Genetics, Anatomy, Physiology and so on.

It even questions the very existence and substance of Christianity and other religions right down to its core. In fact, It's going to Piss Off a great deal of Telly Evangelists all over the world. No more money for their mansions! Too Bad!" Carolyn said with a smile.

"If we look throughout history we have seen that most wars and persecutions were started because of religious beliefs. Hate was brought about be greed, ignorance and misunderstanding. That will never stop that I know; but perhaps, just perhaps there may be a sense of understanding to our Ancient Ways.

I would love to continue this discussion to further depths of Theology and Philosophies but I am exhausted. We have a great deal to do in the morning."

Carolyn woke the other guests in my bedchambers. They each said good night to me as they departed to their respective rooms closing my door behind them. Not one of them gave any indication that they had shared my dream.

Ashley and Evelyn continued to hold me with every once of strength they had. I believe they felt the pent up anxiety I had accumulated. I again drifted off to a very fitful sleep.

According to my bedstead clock, the time was after 10:00am. The sun was streaming into my bedchambers warming the air. I could tell it was going to be a sultry day.

I got out of bed put my mules and a robe on, walking to the bathroom.

Doing all of the necessities, I checked myself in the mirror fixing my hair and left for the kitchen. I was really hungry!

Birdie and company hadn't returned yet from London! I had to fend for myself. At least the coffee was made, so I grabbed a cup and made some toast.

While I ate, I thought of what had to be done. I knew that Ashley, Amena, and Liz were in the process of transcribing the scrolls along with the main one "The Primus".

I was in deep thought as I heard a familiar sound in voices. Teenage voices, I had from somewhere in my past. It brought back a flood of memories. I then recalled where I had heard them before. It was my daughter's voices when they were in their early teens! Now what the Hell was going on?

I finished my toast placing the dish in the sink. For some unknown reason, I decided to wash it and my cup and saucer. After I placed the dishes into the drying rack I thought to myself, I never used to do that before. Well, I guess there will be a great deal of things I never used to do that I will be doing.

Do to the lack of clothing, I went as I was into the library. As I walked in I received a very loud, shrill and possibly obscene Wolf whistle followed by, "Hey Baby, Let's go out tonight. Daddy's got something sweet for you sweetheart."

I looked around the room all I could see were teens and pre-teens. Some were in nightwear and some dressed for the day. I looked in the direction that the whistle came from and spotted a very handsome boy next to Evelyn that was smiling.

It took me awhile and then I realized the boy was Taylor. He was absolutely gorgeous! Did I just think that!

I Then realized I did think that and why shouldn't I. I was a girl! I was supposed to like boys! I would marry one some day and bear his children. Did I just think that!

Oh Great! Now I have to worry about Estrogen Rush, very wet panties, along with that time of the Month, and billowing out like a balloon being very Preggie.

I walked over to Taylor and Evelyn saying, "It'll be a cold day in Hell before you get in my panties, Taylor."

"I'm sorry I really didn't want to get you mad."

"Has the Team made any headway yet on the translation?"

"They're just about finished Debugging the Program. By the way, I fired the "Bitch" in IT at the Home Office as you requested through Evelyn." Taylor said.

"Taylor, I apologize for that last remark I made. I'm still in a state of shock. I guess we all are to some degree or another.

You can always count on my friendship as before. In the past we were close I sincerely wish it will remain so now. I hope you don't mind me saying you do look very distinguished looking."

In all the years, I have known Taylor I had never seen him blush. By blush, I mean a very dark red!

"What the Hell is it with you and my sister? Do you two enjoy terrorizing me?" Taylor said with a smile.

"Big Brother, she's right you are very cute. Besides I saw the way you were looking at her yesterday. But yesterday you couldn't "Get It Up" if you tried". Today, I think Bri'de had better get a Chastity Belt fitting and soon. Your Lust is showing, Darling."

"Bri'de let's go get a cup of coffee in the kitchen? I have some unsettling news to pass on from the B.A., besides I want to get away from the "Old Bat" next to me." Taylor said with a smile and an elbow to Evelyn's ribs

"Watch yourself Honey, you may lose your panties real fast with the Silver Tongue Devil." Evelyn said.

As we walked into the kitchen Taylor took my hand holding it in a vise like grip. It was strong but not to the point of hurting.

I could feel an electrical charge telling me he was the one. I think I was in full sexual arousal! I actually started thinking what it would be like to have intercourse!

My crotch felt saturated! My nipples were erect on my Breasts. I wanted him very badly in a sexual way! By the tenting of his pants, it was a mutual attraction! The little voice in my head said he was the one again.

I had to try to control my thoughts and myself. I had to block sex from my mind until we had accomplished what had to be done. Being a Teenager again was going to be Hell!

We got our coffee and sat down at the table. I had one Hell of a time concentrating without it being of a sexual nature.

"The B.A. is sending Jerrod Parker to make sure as to the validity of this and any future Sites." Taylor said with disgust.

"Mother Goddess! That man is an absolute moron. Are they out of their fuckin' minds. Whose brilliant idea was this?"

"Such language from such a pretty mouth. Timmons was the one that did it!" Taylor said with a sigh.

Any sexual urgings I had were gone. I was angry! Sir Reginald Timmons and Jerrod Parker have been after our asses for years. We proved conclusively that a document and artifacts that they had purchased on behalf of the British Government were frauds after those two authenticated the artifacts and paid out the monies. Five Million British Pounds!

This was not the first screw up for these two. All they did was get their wrists slapped and told not to do it again. They didn't even get a letter of reprimand!

I ran to the wall and picked up the Cordless Phone and dialed Miriam. Because of her Royal contacts, we were pretty much left alone by the Bureau of Antiquities.

"Miriam? We have a problem! B.A. is sending Parker out here. If he see everyone in their new conditions there is liable to be an investigation and a shutdown of the Site."

"Don't worry Luv! I have Prince Henry with me as we speak. He's quite impressed with everything. I'll see you in a bit.

We should be landing in about ten or twenty minutes. All the Hellies are loaded to the ceilings. The pilots are making noise about two more trips." Miriam said over the helicopter rotor noise.

"Are you landing at the Site?"

"No, at the house. By the By, those SAS Chaps should be there shortly. Gotto go! The Cell Battery is getting low. Ta-Ta, Darling." Miriam said.

I told Taylor what Miriam said. I could see he wasn't happy in the least.

Prince Henry at age 18 is one of the most genteel men I had ever met. He's single, available and gorgeous. He's all man!

He is also the brother to the reigning monarch if anyone could stop those two Twits he could.

Taylor and I spoke some more about other matters until being disturbed by an incessant knocking at the door. There were very few in the household that were suitably dressed for any type of visitor.

Ashley was the first to respond to the visitor at the front door.

"Mom there are several soldiers at the door asking for you. I told them you were not properly attired but, they are insisting to see you."

"Alright Honey, Tell the Officer in Charge to enter. We'll see him in here."

"Okay Mom. By the way we love you and Good Morning." Ashley said coming to me and giving me a hug and a kiss. She went to Taylor doing the same before leaving.

"Are you sure that was your problem child?" Taylor asked.

"Taylor my Dear, Ashley has changed so drastically in every way that I can think of. She's a Mother's Dream!"

By the Goddess! What in the Hell did I say? I could see by the look on Taylor's face that he liked it.

I heard the footsteps coming closer across the Hardwood floor. A tall refined looking gentleman in Black Battle Dress Fatigues and Black Beret stepped into the kitchen.

Snapping to Attention and Saluting saying, "Major Cecil Thompson Commanding Officer reporting with H.R.M. Special Air Service Company 1226 as ordered for Special Operations, Doctor Polanski."

This man was unfazed when he saw our appearances. I mean he didn't even blink an eye. It was as if it was a normal occurrence to be taking orders from by all appearances teenagers.

"Major Please get a cup of coffee and sit down." I said.

"Thank You Doctor, I will."

When I was at the Site the other day with Julie, I never saw this man. To say the least I was a little leery as to his identity. Having once been in the U.S. Navy so many years ago I knew that these men had to come with a copy of their marching orders.

"Major, May I please see your Orders?"

Without hesitation, he removed a folded sheet of paper from his Blouse handing it to me.

His Orders came directly from Buckingham Palace stating they were to maintain the Safety and Security of all personnel and physical locations of the Preston Foundation which included our Archeological Site, Base, and any Future Archeological Sites as deemed necessary.

Copies were given to the House of Lords, #10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister, M.I. 5 and M.I. 6, the American Ambassador and the Secretary General of the U.N.

I handed the Orders to Taylor. When he looked at them his eyebrow shot upward. That was a sure sign that our asses went from the frying pan into the proverbial fire!

"Major, all we can do is try to assist you and give our co-operation. All we ask is not to be hindered in our work.

We ask that anything seen or heard not be discussed with the outside world until we are prepared to do so.

When our guest and personnel arrive and we are properly attired we will brief your officers and our guest.

Let it be known that Doctor Polanski, my sister, Evelyn and I are in charge of this Expedition. No One Else! Do we have an understanding?" Taylor said, handing back the Major's Orders.

"Yes Sir. That is what our Orders read. They are quite clear and concise. In the meantime we have Hellies to bring in and offloaded. To use your terms we have to establish an "LZ" (Secured Landing Zone) and give them a Green deck to land (Permission to Land)." The Major said nonchalantly standing. He then saluted, turned, and left us alone to our thoughts.

"Taylor, I really don't like this type of government involvement. Now the U.S. is also involved through the Ambassador and the State Department. The Royals, even the Damn Palace!

How in the Hell are we going to explain what has happened to us to the General Public!

We're going to be Burned at the Stake! The Trials of the Salem Witches' is going to be repeated! The Witch Trials will look like a weenie roast compared to what's coming. How do we stop this madness? There are way to many people getting involved!"

As I was speaking to Taylor, he reached for my hand taking it into his saying, "Dear, I know this is worrying you. Please don't worry, let me handle these Bureaucratic Idiots." Taylor said as he reached over and making me stand. He took me into his masculine arms and kissed me long and deep.

My passions were stirring! I was definitely getting aroused, so was he! I, in a way felt guilt!

Up until a few scant hours ago, I was a male. How in the Hell could I be kissing a man and liking it! I was in a confused state of affairs!

Taylor was in complete control as I took the more passive role. It was then that I realized what Gerri and Carolyn had said to me, "You're all woman now! Sit back, relax, and enjoy it!"

They were right! No more trepidations! I was in control! I was going to enjoy my new life so were my children, staff, and friends.

As a Comedian once said "Fuck em All!" That was to be my new motto! For the first time in many years or perhaps even decades, I felt I was alive, wanted and needed.

Taylor and I were still embraced when Evelyn walked into the kitchen saying, "Break it up you two! Taylor! What's the matter with you? Will you stop trying to get into her lovely knickers!

Damn, you know she can't do anything until after our purpose is completed! Do I have to get you two a Chaperone? Maybe I should get you Fixed. Permanently!"

"Hey Sis, calm down we didn't do anything! Damn, stop acting like our mother used to!" Taylor said defensively.

"Yeah, Just like when she caught you screwing Theresa Helmond in your room. When she was supposed to be in my room with the rest of the girls. You got her pregnant with that little escapade!" Evelyn said angrily.

"My Dear Sister, That was a little youthful indiscretion." Taylor said.

"Do you want me to name all of your youthful indiscretions and the family payoffs?" She said angrily.

"Evelyn, your beating a dead horse with this discussion. All those trysts were over fifty years ago. I have changed for the better! I am not that wild teenager or playboy of years gone by." Taylor said softly.

"Taylor, a word of warning, Keep your pecker in your pants or I'll cut it off and make you my sister literally.

Is that understood!" Evelyn said with a poisonous grin.

"Hello Everyone! Am I interrupting something?" Birdie said entering her kitchen.

"Birdie! Are we glad you're back! Now we can have a descent meal!" Taylor said smiling.

"And who might you be! Other then a young twerp! "Birdie said, challenging him while getting a cup of coffee.

"Twerp! Now, who the Hell do you think I am! I'm your Boss, Taylor Preston!"

I watched as the coffee cup fell from Birdie's hand to the floor. Her hand went to her mouth in astonishment as she recognized the younger version of Taylor.

"It happened again! This house be cursed! I be leaving!" Birdie said.

"Taylor, please leave we'll speak again later. I promise. Birdie please sit down so we can talk woman to woman."

"Wouldn't it be more like girl to girl." Evelyn said grinning like the cat she could be after swallowing the canary.

"Evelyn, please get Birdie some coffee. Now Birdie did you have a dream last night?"

"Surely I did. I thought it was just a dream like I've had before." Birdie said.

"Was I in it?"

"That you be!" She said.

"Speaking to a beautiful lady with a singin' Sword by water." she said.

"Think about what the Lady said. She said there would be changes in the household, didn't she?"

"Aye, but, I did nae expect these type of changes. I thought it was a dream!" Birdie said.

"We all had the same dream, girl. We were given a gift so was everyone that was in the house last night. You should see Bri'de's daughters and husbands. I have to admit my brother is gorgeous like he was when he was in his teen years. Bri'de Honey, can I ask you a question?" Evelyn chimed.

"Sure Evelyn go ahead."

"Are your panties wet?" Evelyn asked with a straight face.

"My aren't we the perverted one! Why Auntie Pervey I never!"

I had never heard Birdie laugh so hard. All the tension left the kitchen as we all laughed.

"Bri'de, me and the husband have always trusted you, and your judgement. I guess we be trusting you again. I just hope we don't have anymore changes about. I be gettin' a little anxious."

"Birdie we all are. This I am afraid is not over by any means.

Now, where the Hell are my clothes? I'm tired of sitting around giving everyone an eyeful of skin!"

"My, aren't we acting like a spoiled little Bitch! Aren't we? Listen Missy, showing the skin is fine but showing the Ta-Ta's is a No-No.

Trying to intimidate poor Birdie like that, You should be ashamed of yourselves. Birdie just tell them to Piss Off next time." Miriam said with a smile and a wink.

We ran to her giving her a hug and kiss. Miriam had only been gone a short time but was sorely missed by us all. I don't know, maybe it was her dry English wit.

"Okay where the Hell are our clothes? You can't keep me like this forever? Taylor almost had his way with me, right here in the kitchen!"

"My, aren't we the fast learner into the Womanly Arts of getting a man and laid!" Miriam said.

"If I had not come in those two would have done a Bedside Tango right here on Birdie's table." Evelyn chided with a smile.

"Excuse me, whilst I disinfect the table." Birdie joined in.

"Don't even ask, if my Panties are wet like Auntie Pervey asked over there!"

"Well are they? Inquiring minds want to know!" Miriam asked.

"By the Goddess! YES! They Are Damnit, and I need to change them! Please cut the Crap and lead me to the fresh undies."

"Oh, I guess you've been a good girl. At least you didn't lose your virtue! C'mon, we'll get you fresh knickers." Miriam said grabbing my hand, forcing me to run, and taking me to my bedchamber.

I couldn't believe my eyes! There were packages and boxes everywhere stacked in some places to the twenty-foot ceiling.

"Now I know why Taylor shouldn't have given you Carte Blanc! You took the translation of Blank Check literally. Where in the Hell am I going to put all this stuff?"

"Darling, This Stuff as you call it is called Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry and Accessories. They are a girl's best friends next to a man and diamonds! You are going to put everything into your walk-in closets, dressers and armoire or arse. So let's get moving, Dearie! His Majesty the Prince, awaits an audience with the great doctor and her staff." Miriam said snidely.

I knew it was useless arguing! Thank the Stars for Birdie! Between the three of us working, we were done in two hours.

I never knew there were so many types of lingerie, dresses, skirts, blouses, slacks, shorts, tops and of course shoes.

This didn't even include colors, styles or fabrics. I was totally confused as to daywear, casualwear, eveningwear, formalwear, loungewear, and nightwear. I was afraid to even ask about lingerie!

I saw things that could make a blind man blush, have an erection, and ejaculate without even touching them! That's how HOT they were! They spelled SEX with a capital S! Look out Taylor!

Hey, Maybe it would be fun to lose my KNICKERS! I can't wait to try!

After twenty clothes and shoe changes, I finally was appropriately dressed to meet a member of the Royal Family.

I wore a pair of red very tight short shorts (I probably could count my Pubic Hairs with those on!), red crop top, white bobbi socks (turned over) and white canvas sneakers (I was wondering why I felt a Breeze!). My Knickers were also red, as was my sports bra. My hair was still in French Braids With a large Red Bow at the end and my makeup flawless.

I was the pure epitome of a teenager! How's that for a fashion statement? Bring on the World, the Bitch is Back! (Oops, Sorry Elton!)

When Miriam, Evelyn and Birdie saw me, they almost gagged. My daughter's were to say the least, Pissed! Their husbands thought I was hilarious. My grandchildren liked my look, I was HOT to them! It was Cool to them! (Of course, they would say anything!).

Taylor just wanted to get into my pants. Immediately!

The Major, the Officers, Sergeants and the Prince were in the Library as we entered. I think their eyes almost popped out! I learned a very important lesson that day. It wasn't the type of clothes you wear it was how you wear them.

I never saw so many hats covering crotches before! I couldn't wait to see all of them walk!

When these people gathered finding out I was Doctor Polanski, there was dead silence. You could feel the disbelief in the air. After all, the biographies did say Ted was a male and over sixty.

I decided it was time to Shit or Get off the Pot! I told them everything there was to reveal. That still wasn't enough! That SAS Major laughed aloud causing his men to laugh too. That pompous Son Of A Bitch had to be taught a lesson in manners!

I told Liz, Miriam, Amena, Ashley and Evelyn to get the Primus and go outside to the Altar. New Crystals were passed out to the Prince, SAS Officers and Soldiers, daughters, Son in Laws and Taylor.

Once again, everything happened! This time I had the Major take off his Crystal after it charged. My, he was upset with me! Too bad!

I whispered in his ear while extinguishing the flames from his tunic and pants, "Don't Fuck with me or next time it may be your Balls!" All he did was wince!

We did it! We had true believers in the Power! We had believers in Arthur and Merlin! One of the believers was Royalty!

There was absolute silence in our return to the library. As everyone filed in Prince Henry pulled me aside saying, "Doctor, What do you want us to do?"

"Your Highness, we have a great deal to learn. What we have learned has been mostly by accident and to say the least revelation.

I have studied certain Satellite Photos that were acquired by Lady Miriam. I think I may have found out where the Energy Bolts go, which is a location in Wales. We really haven't had a chance to enlarge them yet. I think those in itself are the proof we need for are next Excavation Site.

One concern we do have is our watchdogs at the Bureau of Antiquities, Timmons and Parker. They have placed hurdles for this Team every chance they get. This is done in retaliation to previous work that was done by us."

The Prince smiled saying "I seem to have heard rumors about their discredidation by you and Preston Foundation. I'll see what can be done to stop them from interfering with you ever again. What else do you need?"

I called the Major, Evelyn, Miriam, Taylor and Prince Henry into the Kitchen shutting the door behind them. I introduced Birdie to the Prince and Major Thompson asking her to get coffee and tea for us.

After being seated at the kitchen table, we told the complete story of what had happened to us and everyone in the household. They were told the possible dangers that might be involved at the Site. All the revelations by Lady Nimue of what had happened. Along what was going to happen that we could speak of now. I explained the possible religious ramifications by western Christian religions and groups.

The look of shock on their faces was evident. Major Thompson was the first to speak saying, "Doctor, I for one see your point of view. We where sent here to maintain your security and safety which we will do. I am sorry for disbelieving your story before but we deal in facts, not magic. Now it appears we have to deal with both.

Prior to coming here we read your Case Files and saw your supposedly current pictures. We did not expect the conditions all of you in the household have attained. Please accept or Deepest Apologies and maybe our condolences may be in order."

"We accept your apologies but your condolences; no, we do not accept those!

Although, we have changed drastically in age and in some cases, sex, we are still the same people. We have been given a second chance in some cases to redo and rethink our lives.

I for one will try to make every minute and second count. Perhaps our work will help mankind in some small way. I sincerely hope so!"

There was a knock at the door. Carolyn, Ashley, Jaime and Gerri entered along with Kirsten, Victoria, Brianna and Julie.

I introduced our guests to our other Team members and my daughters that entered the kitchen.

"Daughters?" Major Thompson said puzzled.

I explained again what had happened to them and their husbands. Also about Julie and Freddie! Even about adopting Ashley and her predicament!

It seemed that their attitude about me changed from a genuine Hard Assed Bitch to a loving, caring Mother, and human being.

"Well, I can see you have quite a family. I can also see the Love for you in their eyes. I for one, see no deception in the matter of the Dragon Staff or its search. Do you Major Thompson?"

"No, Your Highness." The Major said.

"Very Well, My offer of help and non interference still stands. Will you accept it?" Prince Henry asked.

Of course, we accepted his offer. I would have kissed his Royal Arse to get any help we could use.

The Major even offered to help us interpret the Satellite Photos before his radio went off. Our Hellies were returning with more cargo with one more trip to make.

"Miriam, Birdie! Where in the Hell are we going to put stuff that you bought? They have one more trip to make?"

"Now calm down Bri'de. This load, I will admit is more clothing for everyone. The next is a great deal of computer hardware we need, supplies and food stuffs." Miriam said with that devilish smile of hers.

Oh by the Goddess! I have a feeling I'm going to lose my panties in this deal. I knew that smile of hers all too well. I was going to get the short end of the stick or was that the Dildo. From the bottom of my heart, I hope she uses K/Y Jelly. Or was that for the bottom of my Virginal Pussy! Whatever!

Birdie was our savior by announcing that dinner was almost ready. We are going to have Tex-Mex Chili, Refried Beans and Enchiladas.

Her chili isn't five alarm it more like twenty alarm. The last batch she made not even our Eastern Indian gardener could stand the spiciness. His eyes watered! He belched and passed gas for three days!

That stuff was so potent it even melted through the pot it was prepared in!

Birdie's motto is: Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit, the more you eat the more you Toot!

Where she gets those Damn peppers, beans, and spices from I have no idea. I really don't want to even venture a guess!

There goes my Asshole again! Oh my Virginity! Please pass the Gas Masks! Fortify the Crappers! Damn the torpedoes and full Shit ahead!

After Birdie's lovely meal everyone went to the sitting room while I went to the library (No, not that one!).

I picked up the photos, looking at the area where I thought I saw the damage. The area was heavily wooded possibly, what you might call dense.

I was deep in thought when I felt an arm around my waist and lips kissing my neck. I tried to ignore it but I couldn't. Turning around suddenly, I found out it was Taylor. That was a mistake!

He kissed me so hard slipping his tongue into my mouth holding me closer to him. I wasn't about to fight him in any way. I wanted him badly and he wanted me.

Somehow, we managed to work our way to the couch while he explored my new body. He was a work of art; he knew every button to push on a woman's body to bring excitement.

I in turn soon found out he had a full erection. My, he was big! Somehow, I managed to get his cock free. Stroking him and kissing him. I bent over and took him fully into my mouth. I licked his shaft and sucked on his balls, licking his shaft again. I finally made it to the tip of his cock taking him deep within my throat.

He massaged my breasts and sucked at my nipples. My delirium was growing. I wanted him so bad to cum so I could taste his seed.

I could feel his passion growing as he was close to the edge. He grabbed my head forcing his cock deeper into my throat. I knew he was close to orgasm and so was I! His cock seemed to swell and suddenly exploded! I swallowed as fast as I could but I still dribbled some of his juices down to my chin. It was at this time I orgasmed too! If this was part of being a woman now, I know I'm going to Love my new life and body.

"Bri'de, You're going to laugh when I tell you this, I think I Love you. No Damnit, I know I Love you! I knew it the first time I saw you. I swear I've never in my life ever felt like this before." Taylor said as he took me into his arms, kissing me again with even stronger passion.

I responded to him with the same passion. I felt comfortable in his arms. I felt joy being next to him. Is this how I'm supposed to feel? I certainly hope so! Temporarily, I forgot about everything except my needs and his. I wanted further fulfillment until I remembered what had to be done on our quest.

We both straightened ourselves as best we could. We kissed again not with animal passion but with Love. (Well, maybe a little animal passion.)

We walked outside onto the porch holding hands. Julie and Freddie saw us and smiled not saying a word. I knew in my heart Evelyn would know and very soon.

I just hoped we wouldn't get a lecture from her. More then likely I would be getting a Chastity Belt and no key. Hellooo Nunnery!

After a nice relaxing walk, arm in arm with Taylor, I became very tired. I still haven't fully recuperated from my transformation. We entered through the main door saying goodnight to our guard. Taylor said he would tell everyone I said goodnight when he went into the Sitting Room. I headed off to my bedchamber.

I was totally stripped in thirty seconds and in the shower. The water spray felt heavenly on my very sore body. I finished my shower, dried my hair and body. I found a Lace trimmed baby doll set in violet and black lace putting it on. When I got in bed, I noticed a small lump outlining a small body. I saw it was Ashley sound asleep.

I turned off the lights and closed my eyes. I was so happy the day was over with. I was asleep in no time.

I awoke with the Sun coming through the windows. It was another beautiful day. Ashley was coming from the bathroom noticing I was up. She came over kissed me and gave me a hug saying, "I hope you didn't mind me sleeping with you. I had a nightmare."

"Why should I mind honey? After all, you are my daughter. What was it about?"

"When my father used to have his way with me. Mother, I Love you very much! Please, don't leave me!" Ashley said giving me a hug and a kiss.

I took Ashley into my arms consoling her, I held her tight in a motherly embrace. As long as I am alive, it is always moments like this, which I will remember. The love of my kids and of the man I love. Yes my dears, I said the man I love. I didn't stutter you heard me correct!

After yesterday, what Taylor and I shared there was no going back. I was happy and proud to be a female. Since I am a mother, I looked forward to be a wife, becoming pregnant and to bear our children.

I looked at the child in my arms and thought about my other daughters and grandchildren. I love all of them also; they will always be in my heart, all of them.

Ashley amazed me; she was dressed and out the door in ten minutes. She said something about the computer and she loved me.

I decided to lie in bed for just a while longer. Before I knew it, I was asleep again.

I woke up to someone kissing me. It was Taylor with nothing on in my bed!

"Darling, I thought about you all night. I am truly in Love with you. I want to be with you forever." Taylor said to me.

I kissed him long and passionately. I could feel his penis growing in to a full erection. As we kissed I took his penis into my hand and started to stroke it. He laid me on my back to caress my breasts, sucking my nipples. He must have licked my whole body from my toes to my ears and neck.

I could feel my vagina getting wet and wetter. I could feel the earthquake building in me. The electrical charge was growing in intensity until I had my orgasm followed by several more.

My Gosh, what a feeling! The earthquake came and released several aftershocks. It truly was grand! He was marvelous!

He knew how to please his partner in every way. He wanted to please me! The foreplay was driving me to the point of no return.

All the while he was telling me he loved me. All I kept telling him is I wanted him. I didn't know how loud I was getting! Frankly My Dear, I didn't give a Damn!

For what he did next, I will always love him. I thought for a minute he would enter me by my Vagina but instead he lifted my Butt up placing pillows under it. He lubricated his penis and my anus from my vaginal juices. Very gently, he inserted himself into me.

There was pain; I will not deny it but the pleasure more than made up for it. When we orgasmed it was together! I saw every type of firework you could imagine! I think I found my mate for life! I really Love Taylor! I want him for my baby's father! He proved he could be caring, kind, gentle and loving!

We both needed to clean up. After we snuggled for a long time, we talked about a variety of subjects. I saw that we were very compatible in many of the same likes and dislikes.

When we snuggled together, again he asked me to be his wife. I was in shock! I was pulled into many directions at once! I told him I needed time to think and to discuss the situation with my daughters.

I needed to feel them out on this subject of my marriage to him. Taylor made me love him more, when he didn't try to put pressure on me. He even suggested he talk to them for me. Which meant that I would have to speak to Evelyn. (Oy Vay!) I had better hide all the knives first!

We took a shower together. He left for his room and would come back to get me. I tried to get quickly dressed finding an emerald green bra and panty set, blue/green floral print sundress with white sandals. I brushed out my hair putting it in a ponytail. I used very little makeup, blush and a shiny red lipstick. I just finished when there was a knock.

Miriam and Evelyn walked into the room. Upon seeing me Evelyn said, "Alright Pay up, I won! She did do the nasty."

I was stunned saying, "How the Hell did you know?"

"Well my Dear, Sweet, Future Sister in Law. One, Look at your chest see how red it is? Two, How could you miss not hearing you two humping? Those poor soldiers are probably stroking their Puds right now! Three, I was listening at the door when Taylor Pumped and Proposed to you. So how was he in bed, Sis?" Evelyn said laughing when I hit her with a pillow.

"Oh Honey! Congratulations! I can't speak for that JD (Juvenile Delinquent) on your bed but I can for myself. I'm going to tell you before you read it in the Press. Henry has asked me to marry him." Miriam said.

"Alright Mir, what's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong, I tell you! OH Shit! I can't lie to my friends. If I should Marry Henry, I'll be expected to quit the Foundation. I will have to do Royal and Palace Duties. I don't want to do those things."

"Have you discussed that with Henry?

"Are you out of your mind? I'm a Lady in Waiting with an inherited title you don't tell the Royals anything. They tell you!"

"Would you mind if I spoke to him?"

"Not at all. Only if you want to. "Miriam said.

"We want to do it. So relax, Okay."

I finished dressing and went down to the kitchen. Birdie was there giving me all smiles and not a word being said.

"Birdie, spit it out!"

"I Donnae have nothing' to say" Birdie said.

"Damnit Birdie! Please get a cup of coffee and have a seat with me. I think we need a woman to woman chat"

"That be true in more ways ye think" Birdie said.

"Alright how did you hear about what happened in my room?"

"From Evelyn. She took me there. You be woman now. ", Birdie said with a smile.

All I could do is Blush. Does everyone know? I guess I had better face the facts. Yes!

"Has Prince Henry come down?"

"Aye he be in the Library with ye children. "Birdie said.

I went to the library. The Prince was sitting in a chair near Ashley, Alva and Kimberly. They appeared to be building something. They all seem to be enjoying themselves.

"Good Morning everyone."

"Hi Mom, I thought you'd still be in bed." Ashley said with a smile.

Oh Heavens! They all knew. I could see it in their cherubic faces. I'm dead meat for sure! I'm going to kill Evelyn for sure now.

"Your Highness may I speak to you for a moment, please."

"Bri'de, how could I refuse you. Why not the kitchen? I need some tea!"

"Oh sure. That would be fine."

As we walked together we starting speaking of the new Site. He had already seen the Photo with my notes. He agreed with my conclusion that area had damage done to it with High Energy.

We arrived at the kitchen and sat at the table. Birdie got me coffee and tea for Henry. I sat down smoothing my dress as he sat down next to me.

I placed his hand in mine saying, "Prince Henry please pardon my impudence. One of my best friends and co-worker is very upset at the moment. She is really panicky! She also would like to continue working with the foundation."

"Miriam told you?" Henry asked.

"Yes. Well we have known each other a long time. I tell her everything as she does to me. We are best friends and always have been."

"My Dear, I can and will assure you that she will continue with the foundation. Of course, there are State Functions to attend to but other then that there are no difficulties. I would do anything for her! So would my family!

I have always loved her from afar, because of our age differences. Not any more, she is even younger then I am!

My Brother the King and the Queen Mother have already given their unofficial blessing to this union of Mariam's and mine.

I had a feeling that was the problem when I asked her to marry me. She was very hesitant to say the least." Henry said to me.

I held Henry's hand in both of mine saying, "If you Love her, you have to be honest with each other. There will be times both now, and in the future that you must tell each other everything. I know she will tell you everything. When you Marry you become one. You and Miriam will be Best Friends, Lovers and of course parents.

The older you get the closer you get unless there is imbedded distrust.

You'd better tell her soon, like right now. Assure her of everything we have spoken about. Is that understood, Sire!"

Prince Henry leaned over and kissed me on the cheek saying, "Now I know why everyone loves you. You are kind, compassionate, and understanding. We Royals should learn your ways. Maybe we could make a difference in our realms."

Prince Henry left for upstairs with a bounce in step and Love in his heart. I know that Miriam had enough to share with him and would.

As I sat, I was thinking of Taylor. I cannot believe what we did! I have no regrets other then being a little sore and uncomfortable while sitting.

My thinking was interrupted, Julie and Victoria smiled as they entered the kitchen. For some reason, I knew I was in for it.

"Hi Mom, why are you hiding in the kitchen?" Julie asked.

"Hey look Julie, Mom's sitting on a pillow. Julie look at mom's upper chest how red it is. Oh Mom, you didn't!" Victoria said feigning surprise and shock.

I told them the truth while I blushed profusely. What the Hell could I do, I wasn't about to lie to them. They could see I was happy.

In my own mind I have manage to come to terms with my new sex and sexuality. I praise the Goddess and thank her for my new life. I thank her for the stability and peace of mind given to all, in our changes no matter what they have been.

Having been a male for over sixty years, then to become a female in her teens, with the ability to have children is a double blessing. I could care less about becoming a female although it was a shock. I have been given a restart in life to right all of my wrongs from my previous life and so does everyone else. Life is what you make it to be! As the Beer Commercials once said, "Enjoy the Gusto!" we all are!

"We came in here to let you know that they have found several more symbols on the Primus. In essence the Primus has the spell that entombed Merlin and the spell that sealed his lair." Julie said excitedly.

"Well we have proof that he existed. Now to prove the lair really exists and of course the Dragon Staff. Are you documenting everything?"

"I put Brianna, Kirsten and Victoria on the camera. They're also sketching everything for us. The translation program seems to be working also." Julie said with pride in her voice.

"Good! Let them work to earn their keep. It'll keep them out of my hair. Tell the Computer team I said good work."

"Gee Mom, you do have really pretty hair too." Victoria said giggling, like the teenager she appeared to be.

"Wise Ass!"

As Julie and Victoria left, I sat and enjoyed my coffee until Taylor and the Major Thompson walked in.

Taylor walked over to me giving me a kiss on the cheek and sitting next to me holding my hand under the table. Major Thompson sat across from us saying, "Good Morning Doctor, I trust you are well."

What the Hell is going on! Does everyone in and around this house know what happened this morning? I could just imagine what is going on through the minds of his personnel.

"If you don't mind Major I would prefer to be called by my first name, Please."

"Bri'de It is then! Please call me Cecil if you don't mind. As you said we all have to work together and I follow the orders of Prince Henry.

I made some inquiries as to several possible Sites that Taylor as pointed out to me on the Photos. Most of the Sites are smooth dry land; slightly hilly with heavy wooded areas. There is one area that we can't explain."

He brought out a topographical map that was enlarged and marked out in red. He pointed to an area saying, " As you can see this area is surrounded by if I didn't know better a very dense bog and moat. It's almost a perfect circle! This appears to be an island that's heavily wooded. In the center is some more vegetation and rock outcroppings."

I looked at the map he was right! We hadn't seen it before, as we didn't have any topographical maps of that area. Everything was as he said bog, moat, and island! I think it is time for a Field Trip.

"Cecil, We must get to that site as soon as possible to look it over."

"Major Thompson Smiled and said, "As we speak a Squad of my people are enroute to reconnoiter the area. They should be reporting back soon."

"Make sure they don't go into that bog or cross that moat area. There might be real danger! Could you make Police Inquiries as to any strange occurrences in that area."

"I already did that. According to the local Constabulary, there have been a number of abnormalities in that area.

Such as the locals will not go into that area they believe it is haunted. Many have seen strange lights and heard noises and moans of anguish.

There have been over the last one hundred and fifty years ninety disappearances. That is when they started documenting occurrences in the county.

The last disappearance was three days ago. They were a scientific ghost hunting and Film Crew group from the States trying to solve the mystery of the bog. Ten people never came back from that area. Nothing was found to even suggest they were even there." Major Thompson said.

"I think I can safely say that is our location. Make sure your men do not go into that Bog for any purpose."

"I quite concur. If there is something there, I will see to it that they do not go in there. I better see to getting a message to them expeditiously!" Major Thompson said as he folded the map and leaving quickly.

Taylor and I sat together still holding hands. If anyone outside of the house saw us, we would look like two normal teenagers with a love fixation. To speak frankly I wanted him again in me, to make passionate love to each other. I was acing as a typical woman wanting her man. Badly!

The only problem was I was still sore from earlier. I continued to heed the warning of losing my virginity. We were too close to our objective!

"Taylor Honey, I think we should tell the team of this discovery as soon as possible. We better make preparations to get to that area as soon as possible."

"Darling, Let's wait until we hear from Cecil and his people first." Taylor said giving me a kiss.

We left the kitchen together going to the library. Everyone was busy doing routine prepatory work. Ashley, Lynn, Lesley, Brittany, Alva, Kimberly, came over giving Taylor and I a kiss and hug.

"The Primus is twenty five percent done as far as the translation goes. We only have a one percent unknown or multiple wording category." Kimberly said in an excited manner.

"That's Great! What does Amena, Jaime, and Liz say?"

"They're checking the printouts now. They haven't said a word to us since they started." Lynn said worried.

We walked over to where Amena, Jaime, and Liz were busy studying the printouts.

"So what's the verdict?"

Liz, Jaime, and Amena looked at us strangely with Jaime saying, "This is a Death Sentence if we don't do this right. As far as we can tell so far if an intonation or mispronounced word we'll never come back home."

"There are voice inflections I didn't even know existed! It seems as though there are no fewer then six different Spells. There are more passages that we haven't translated yet.

We've translated a few of the other scrolls. There is a combination of Welsh, Celtic, Druidic, Gaelic, Latin, Greek, Old High German and who knows what else in spoken word.

Most of the ceremony is neither New Gardnerian nor Alexandrian but follow the Old Ways of the Old Ones.

What confuses me is that the ceremony consistently says the Sisterhood of the Goddess with mention of the Maiden, Goddess and the Crone. There is no High Priest just the Three High Priestesses officiating in the ceremonies with three separate Altars with three distinct circles of power entwined. I looked everywhere I can't find any reference of the Sisterhood in any of the Old Records. Perhaps it may be on one of the scrolls." Liz said sadly.

"The Spells are pretty straight forward but we have to all go through a Purification Rite and we must initiate the new ones, at least to the First Degree although it should be done to the Second Degree or to the Third Degree.

Due to the lack of initiated males, we may have to ask a Coven locally to help us in the ceremonies. They immediately may complain that the Rites may be different. If explained to them this ritual is of the Old Ways and pure they may just help us.

I have most of what we need and can get the rest easily. Some of the herbs are different and the candle wax and incense have the herbs in them similar to the anointing oil.

The Altar and most of the Ritual such as Opening and the Closing of the Circle is basically the same but like we said there is no mention of a male form of God.

What concerns me is that there is a time element involved. We must have everyone initiated before Lughnasadh (pronounced loo-nus-uh) July 31st. Which leaves us about six weeks.

Before anything is done, we have to initiate Gerri, Jaime, and Ashley. We could also initiate Carolyn or anyone else if they want but they must be true and dedicated to the Craft.

Have Kristen, Hank, Victoria, Pete, Brianna, Stash (Stanley), Julie and Freddie been brought into the Craft? ", Amena asked.

Kristen, Victoria, Julie have been initiated to the Second Degree. Brianna was initiated to the First Degree. We do know that Ashley is not of the Craft.

The girl's husbands I don't think so. I don't even know if they know of the Craft."

"I'll find out for you about the husbands and Freddie." Amena said.

We discussed a few other points that needed to be taken care of. I asked Ashley to Blow Up an area of the Photo I was interested in and printed for me.

As I waited Major Thompson returned saying, "Bri'de, My men are at that Site now. They reported that after a cursory investigation that the Bog leads to what appears to be a moat. They almost lost several men in that Bloody Bog. Per your instructions, they did not cross the moat.

The Helicopter Pilots reported that they retrieved everyone intact. They should be back in about an hour.

He did report that on over flying the area there had been one specific area that appeared to have been struck by lightning several times. He also said it looked to be several slabs formed like Altars.

He took two rolls of pictures of it from the Air with a telephoto lens attached to his camera. They couldn't get any lower then one-quarter of a kilometer. He said there was a great deal of wind disturbances at that level and worse below it."

"How long to develop those pictures?"

"We don't have the facilities here that's one of our problems. If sent to London or Bath possibly several hours. Then there is also the security aspect again." Major Thompson said.

"We do have a Photo-Lab at the Dig. Give them to Jaime she'll develop them and telephone the results to you. Please tell your people they did a very good job."

"Well, to be perfectly honest my men asked for a stateside style Bar B Que for tonight. Birdie and Tom were asked to help since they have done it before including the menu planning and preparation. Our Head Cook is good but I'm afraid he doesn't know much about American style Bar B Ques.

I'd like to invite your team, staff and family to attend. You can thank them all yourself. Also it would give them an opportunity for them to see you're normal people that just had something strange happen to them." Major Thompson said almost shyly.

"We would be happy to attend. What do your people know of us?"

"They were briefed as to your new ages and former ages. Nothing else was of a true importance they really didn't have the need to know all the particulars. These men also know how to keep quiet about their missions." Major Thompson said.

"How familiar are you with Wicca, Druids and Celtic variations of the Craft, Major?"

"Are we speaking of Witches, Sorcerers, Stone Henge and such?" Major Thompson asked.

"The very same, Major."

He seemed shy to admit that he did know what I spoke of but he nodded his head yes.

"Then it is time to brief you further."

As I talked Cecil listened. He was very attentive and extremely intelligent. I explained the problems we faced in the future with the Lair. What our total mission was in reclamation of the artifacts. Nothing was said of what we may find.

He was also told of the dangers all of us faced. The security detachment that was to go with us had to be volunteers and could not be conscripted.

They also would have to have the basic knowledge of our beliefs. If they wished to be initiated into the Craft we would gladly accept them with open arms.

They would have to speak with Amena and Liz to be confirmed as Initiates.

They would not participate in the actual Ritual of the lifting of the Spell at the Lair. We have specific guidelines that have to be done.

If these guidelines are not met, it could cause the deaths of all at the Site.

Cecil seemed to at first to disbelieve what I said until he remembered our demonstration with the Primus and Crystals. He suddenly became a staunch believer!

He would speak to his men before the feasting of the Bar B Que.

I had told him to disclose everything to his men as we had disclosed everything to Prince Henry. His men had to have the facts with no deviation from the truth.

I explained to him the Three Fold Truth that all things eventually comes back to you in threes, Good or Bad. As a Witch, You Will Do No Harm!

"I must go and check on the preparations, we will see you later. Thank You for disclosing what you did." Major Thompson said.

As he walked briskly off, I was deep in thought until Ashley tapped me on the shoulder saying, "Mother are you alright?"

"Yes Honey, please assemble everyone in the house in the Great Room. Tell them I have some information that needs to be given to them."

"Sure Mom, here's that blowup you wanted." Ashley said giving me a hug, which I needed badly.

I studied the blowup as I walked the few steps to the Great Room. If the photos the pilot took were the same I was studying I was sure we found the Sorcerers Stone or at least the correct location of it.

Everyone in the house had arrived just about at one time. I told them all, that photos were taken.

Jaime was to develop the film when it arrived. I finally disclosed what I had speculated as to the location of the Sorcerers Stone and the dangers that might be involved.

Amena and Liz were told to speak to Major Thompson at the Bar B Que well as invitations to all to attend. This was the great morale builder! Especially for our younger, team members, my daughters and grandkids. I could see the look of consternation on Julie's face. My grandchildren could be slobs to put it succinctly but so could any child.

As we wound it up, I was very tired. Taylor came to me as well as Prince Henry.

"Are you well?" Henry asked.

"I'm sorry Sire just a bit tired. I'll be alright."

"She'll be alright after she has been put to a nap." Taylor said.

"I quite agree with you. She needs all the rest she can get now. Now to brighten your day a wee bit.

You're friend from B.A. will not be showing up. It seems that the Queen Mother has requested to the Prime Minister that the B.A. be Leashed and Muzzled. They would be entering this Site as distracters and not experts. The P.M. remembered your last exploits with them and agreed."

As he spoke I felt lightheadedness and don't remember much until I woke up in my bedchambers with a concerned Birdie and Tom at my side.

"Dearie ye gave us a scare. Be ye right!" Birdie asked.

"How did I get up here?"

"Prince Henry caught ye in his arms. Both Taylor and him bring ye up here. I undressed ye and put ye to bed. Threw them out I did! No business in a ladies bed chambers." Birdie said holding one hand and Tom the other.

"We be leaving ye alone to rest. Birdie and Miriam will check on thee in a bit. Rest Bri'de all be over soon but ye needs ye strength." Tom said.

I closed my eyes and must have gone to sleep immediately not hearing them leave.

The sleep I had was not a restful one. I dreamed of the Purification Rite and the new Site at the Sorcerers Stone.

As was told to us we were preparing to Cast three Protective interlocking Circles. For some reason, I decided to form three interlocking Circles of Protection and set up a third Altar to the Mother Goddess.

As we closed the Circles of protection, the Lady Nimue appeared at the Bisection of the Circles. She stood directly in the center taking my hands, pulling me toward her.

"My Sister this is to be thy way thee are to form thyne Protective Circles. Thee and ye priestesses will work thy Spell of Containment. Work thy Spell of Banishment! Work thy Spell of Illusion. Weave thy Spells as thee have done before. Be thee good Witch Sorceresses Oh Daughter of thy Mother Goddess. Thee and Thyne are Blessed by the Blessed Three and the Goddesses!

Thee and thyne are not mere Witches but Sorceress Queens. Ye have taken my Path in this new age. Ye Blessed Crone grants thee all Knowledge of the Ages! Take Heed Myrddin may try to deceive ye. Ye Mother Goddesses Blesses thee. Thee must be Strong Maidens All! Ye Blessed Maiden Blesses you!" The Lady Nimue said.

"I have never seen or performed this Rite. Will the Power of the Spells be enhanced? I believe we have found the Sorcerers Stone as you have said."

"All is in ye Primus of knowledge. Be it thy Grimoire! Thy Power be ten thousand fold. Thee hast found his Lair! Further gifts await in yonder Lair from the Crone. Thy vision be shared with thyne others, my Sister.

Ye Mother Goddess be pleased her gifts are well received in thyne household. Thyne others that assist ye will receive her Blessing many times over." Lady Nimue said with a smile on her lips.

Thyne sister's Amena and Elizabeth and thy Daughter Juliet have found thy key to unlock Primus. All is thyne at the ready. All is thyne for the Quickening of Myrddin. Thy rewards await! Thy be warned do not be as Myrddin!

We three will be with thee always to guide and protect thee and thyne.

These are commands of the Maiden, Mother Goddess, and Crone! Thy Sisters and Daughters are to be protected! Ye will be protected by Chyaedar, Bri'de and Ye! So Mote It Be!" Lady Nimue said as she faded from the Circle of Protection.

I suddenly woke with a start! Birdie Gerri, Jaime, Amena, Miriam, Liz, Julie and Evelyn where around me. They had a glassy eyed look as if they had been in a meditative trance.

"Why are all of you up here bothering me? We have a great deal of work to be done! I want to be at the new Site after the Purification Rite."

"What the Hell happened? What are we doing here? Oh No! Not again! Honey this has to stop. We can't accomplish any work with you acting as a psychic transmitter and receiver." Evelyn said jokingly.

"Did all of you see and hear everything also?"

"Dearie, if we did everyone did! For some reason, you are attuned to all of us in the household. Possibly to everyone you have come into contact with here!" Gerri said.

"I don't have that type of ability to do that!"

"Believe us you do have that type of ability. I just hope you don't do a mind reading act too. If you do I think we're all in for some deep shit." Evelyn said.

"Mom, yes you do have that ability! You called us up here psychically. I've heard of it being done but have never experienced it until now. For some reason you're like a psychic transmitter." Julie said holding my hand.

What is happening? A few days ago, I was normal in every sense of the word. Now I have developed a sort of psychic attunement that I have never in my life had. I just hope to Hell that I don't start reading other people's thoughts. That would be a real embarrassment!

"This situation is really starting to get out of hand. Have any of you ever conducted these type of Rites?"

"I saw mention of the interlocking Circles of Protection in an ancient text but have never tried to do it. We could never find out what it was used for. There was no explanation to its use." Amena said.

"Try to find something on it! Right now I have to get moving we have a Bar B Que to attend."

As I got ready for the event, I thought of the vision. I still couldn't envision why all of us were chosen for this Act of Banishment.

I had to think if I was still psychologically stable. Was my sanity still intact? Is this a dream or bad nightmare?

How could it be? The event that had happened affected everyone including me. I finally finished dressing! The clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch finally arrived. The shorts that they sent were almost obscene.

I felt like my ass cheeks were hanging out of the scant material. At least the blouse posed no problems and plenty of pockets as well as the Short Sleeved Safari Jacket. Instead of boots and socks, I wore thin-soled fashion flat strap sandals. All I did was repair my makeup and I was ready. I have to say I looked mighty good!

As I went through the house, I noticed everyone was gone and the house was empty. I could hear the sounds of people and music outside.

I walked out the front door into a party atmosphere. All of our people seemed to be having a good time. Taylor saw me and came immediately to my side taking my hand into his, giving me a kiss on the lips. I returned the kiss without the least bit of reservation.

"I Love You! You look gorgeous, my Dear." Taylor said after our kiss.

"What in the Hell are you talking about? This the way I normally dress at the Site. Except for the fact that my Ass Cheeks feel as if they're hanging out and my feet, feel naked. I now have breasts, a female reproductive system and estrogen flowing in my body."

"Bri'de Dear, you're fine now let's get over to see Prince Henry", Taylor said.

Within a few seconds, we were sitting next to Prince Henry, Miriam, Cecil, Evelyn, Freddie, Ashley, and Julie.

The rest of my Family and Team were spread out at other tables with the SAS men. It turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon going into evening. The talk was mostly small talk with nothing heavy.

Birdie and Tom had prepared an excellent feast. Why did I feel as though we were the condemned criminals having our last meal before execution?

I heard that little voice speaking to me again! I had the feeling of apprehension I couldn't lose. Taylor and Evelyn I think, felt my tenseness they would not leave my side.

"Bri'de, please relax. We all participated in your dream. I don't know how it happened but it did. I tried to doubt it at first but after speaking to several others it did happen. It was not the first time either." Prince Henry said calmly.

"Your Highness, I won't lie it has happened before to us. All of us have received or shared experiences except for the first experience, which I alone only had."

"It seems as if you are under some sort of protection that exceeds our SAS Team. I was reading when it was shared. It was quite extraordinary!

When do you wish to go to the new Site?" Prince Henry said.

"When the Primus can reveal it's total secret to us. We still have preparations to make prior to leaving for the Site.

That SAS team cannot ......... I repeat; cannot go into the area we're going into, for their own safety.

I think we should heed any warnings that we have received."

"I quite agree, the Major and his people are a bit unnerved after that little incident today.

This is just what they needed to relax after earlier today. To be honest I think a few of the men might have had an accident or two including the Major. He will not even discuss the matter."

We then told him of our first experiences with the Primus, Jaime and others. This episode tended to make Prince Henry to relax a bit and laugh. I could sense he was still nervous.

While we were speaking Major Thompson came, over to us you could see the apprehensive look on his face.

"Cecil, are you alright?"

"Madam, please tell me what the Bloody Hell is going on here? My men and I are getting very nervous! We are the ones normally in control and now it seems that we have lost any semblance of that control", Major Thompson said indignantly.

"Cecil, believe me when I tell you we are not entirely sure. As I have told Prince Henry, one of the Scrolls we call the Primus is the key to everything that has and will happen. It would seem that you and your men are not the real ones in danger on this operation. We are!"

"I cannot fathom the idea that we are dealing with a superstitious myth that can endanger us. We have had visions we cannot explain! We have been exposed to volatile crystals that could be classified as lethal weapons! My pilots and several of my men almost lost their lives to wind shifts and wind currents that cannot be explained! That is a matter of interpretation, madam!" Major Thompson said angrily.

"Cecil, Prince Henry, I assure you that the danger to your people will be minimized. We are the ones that will be going into the center of that area. We will be the first ones to enter Merlin's Lair! We will not venture into that area until we are prepared properly. This includes physical and mental states.

We must also study the Photographs taken by the Pilots. I realize that they used a tremendous amount of courage to get those photos. We thank them for that as it took an enormous amount of courage to get those pictures for us."

"Have you seen the Photographs yet?" Major Thompson asked.

"No, I don't see Jaime so must assume that she hasn't finished developing the film. I could telephone her if you wish?"

As I concluded those words my Satellite Phone rang. I broke away from everyone by excusing myself to answer it.

It was Jaime! She had finished developing the pictures and making several Blow-ups of the area. The Pilot had helped her in finding specific areas that she sought. Jaime also said that there were three Altars at the new site as foretold in the dream. All was overgrown with heavy forestation that would require cleaning up prior to what had to be done. They would be back in an hour with the Photos.

I walked back to the Prince and Major Thompson. Taylor and Evelyn had just joined them. I told them what Jaime had said I could see that Cecil was getting very apprehensive to my news. I asked if we could tell everyone at the Bar B Que the findings. They agreed, as it was logical that everyone should know.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Evelyn asked.

"If the progress continues on the Primus we'll be ready to go to the Site soon. We can't hold back this information from them besides Jaime has a Big Mouth."

Both Evelyn and I giggled as we both knew Jaime would not keep her mouth shut with a discovery of this magnitude. Evelyn and I were speaking of trivial matters when Major Thompson approached me to tell me a Microphone and Public Address System was ready for me.

I didn't take long for me to make the announcement of what was discovered in the photographs. There wasn't a sound from anyone including my children and grandchildren. That in it self was a miraculous feat!

Amena and Liz came over to me with Liz saying very loudly, "We're not done yet with the Primus. That Damn Program is still learning!"

"Hold your Knickers on! I know you're not ready! We still have to study those photos. Just because I look like and am a teenager doesn't mean I am entirely addle brained! We will not compromise safety for the quick find of artifacts."

"I think what Loudmouth, over there meant to say is we wanted to hear you say those words. In any event we are not going to do the Purification Rite until we have the exact ceremony translated according to the old ways." Amena said in her whimsical way.

We all agreed to our course of action. We decided to just eat and relax somewhat, until Jaime arrived. The kids deserved to have some relaxation. The work was yet to come!

Jaime and a man in a flight suit arrived several hours after she was expected. She had a guilty look on her face but at the same time a look of contentment. Her gait was also different in her walk. By the Goddess! I hope she didn't do what I thought she did. I pulled Jamie to the side so he wouldn't hear saying, "Well?"

"Well what?" Jaime said.

"Please don't play games with me! I know you did it."

"I guess we did. It just happened accidentally. I don't know what came over me. How the Hell did you know?" Jaime said.

"By your walk and the expression on your face. I hope he didn't Pop your cherry! If he did you better tell me now or we're all in deep trouble."

"No, I'm still intact. I remembered our warning and took heed to it. I didn't want to jeopardize what we had to do." Jaime said

As we were speaking the young pilot walked over, saying, " I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation. Please don't be harsh with Jaime. I will assume full responsibility for our action. It was primarily my fault."

"Darling, Bri'de and I were just discussing the photos." Jaime said giving him a smile and kiss.

"Are you the Pilot that took the Photos?"

"Yes, Leftenant Terry Simmons is my name. That place was a nightmare. Every time I compensated for the winds, it would come out of another direction. It was like the wind knew how to react to my every move.

The Site was even worse at one hundred of your feet. The turbulence seemed to intensify.

We thought the Hellie was going to fall apart because of the vibrations and wind. The terrain is somewhat hilly and densely wooded." Terry said.

"Where are the photos?"

Terry handed me the manila envelope containing the photos. As I looked at the photos you could see clearly that rocks that could be used as an Altar. They were placed in what you could say a triangle or pyramid. The Vertex of the largest Altar appeared to be faced to the North as they all did. In the center of the triangle, there was a possibility of another large stone set into the ground. It looked as if there was a Dragon carved into it. It also pointed to an outcropping of a large hill.

Could this be the entrance to the Lair? If I was to venture a guess, it surely was! We found it! What was the significance of the stone with the Dragon? Was it the Sorcerers Stone?

The questions that remained were; first how to get to the Site? Second, how could this be achieved without endangering all of us? Would the Primus be translated correctly? I was in deep thought when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Alva, Kimberly, and Ashley.

"Aunt Bri'de are you alright?" Kimberly asked taking my hand into hers.

"Sure, why shouldn't I be?"

"Mom, we're a little worried about you. You seem to be holding back on everything. Do you need to talk?" Ashley said taking my other hand.

"I'm concerned that's all. We have so much to do and all our chores must be done correctly. Prior to what has happened to all of us, I didn't believe in very many things in life except birth and eventual death. We have been given a responsibility to uphold by a higher entity. We have a duty to maintain the safety of all that go to the Site."

"Auntie Bri'de you know that we'll do what we can. We all share in the duties. All of us have limitations and so do you." Alva said squeezing my hand.

"Alva is right so are all the kids. You're worrying too much! Besides, you are my best friend, partner and my future wife. Yes, I am aware of that dream remember I shared it." Taylor said bending over to kiss me on the lips.

I could see now after the blindness had been lifted from my eyes. It took Taylor and three children to remove that blindness.

When Taylor spoke this way, he sounded like me many decades ago. Once he may have been arrogant but no longer. I could see the concern for me as well as love. I have gradually forgotten I was once a male. I am really starting enjoy this role of being a female and so did my colleagues that changed.

I was once concerned about them and myself no more! We had adjusted to our new roles in life. We looked forward to the future whatever it may hold for us.

I gave all the children a hug and kiss saving the best for Taylor. When he slipped an engagement ring onto my finger, I was thrilled. He was mine and I was his now. I was prepared both physically and mentally to be his wife and the mother of his children not born yet.

I still wore Kristen's rings to honor her memory. Taylor respected this idea and agreed to my wishes. He wanted both of us to honor and remember her. My children and grandchildren of course would always do that.

"I looked around and noticed that Evelyn was in a deep discussion with Cecil holding his hand. Jamie was doing the same with Terry the young Leftenant. Liz and Amena were with several other SAS Officers having a chat holding their hands. I didn't know what to think. Was it Love or Lust! Who cares! Let them enjoy life.

I told the girls to go have some fun while I tried to study the photos. As they walked away, Taylor sat very close next to me with his hand on my thigh making small circular strokings with his fingers. I could smell his scents! I wanted to have him badly! If I could take a cold shower, I would have!

I needed to distract myself from him briefly. I picked up the photo I was studying before and gazed intently at it. I had finally blocked him out of my mind. I could see greater detail of the main Altar. On the top was etched a Pentagram or Pentacle at the top point was a symbol that meant the Goddess. The symbols followed in a counterclockwise direction. The next Symbol was that of Hermes/Mercury the Bisexual or Hermaphroditic God between the north and West Point. The Symbol of this God is a combination of both the male and female signs and horned.

The next symbol was between the West and southwest point and that was the Maiden. The next symbol was between the Southeast and East again, it was Hermes/Mercury. At the East to North was the Crone. It is taught and said in Wiccan that the Pentagram is a Female symbol that stands for the Elements: East for Air; South, Fire; West, Water. Again, the North was the Earth. It is also stands for the Mother Goddess.

I stared intently at this photo. I was thoroughly confused as to the reference of Hermes/Mercury symbols. I was surprised that Hercules/Heracles was not in these symbols but he was only a half God. I looked at the other Blowups but the definition was not as good as the main Altar.

"Dearest, are you all right?" Taylor asked.

"I'm just a little perplexed that's all."

I explained to him what I had found in the Photos. He really didn't think it meant anything. You could see quite plainly where there was recent damage done by our Bolts of Light. It was right at the outcropping of the hill. Right in front of the Main Altar. I told him that is where I thought that Merlin's Lair was.

I finally put the photos back into the envelope. I called for Julie, Liz, and Amena to come to our table. When they arrived, I told them my suspicions as to the locations of the Lair. They promised they would also look at them later.

"I just went inside to check on the progress of the computers. The program is almost complete in its translation of the Primus. Along with some of the test scrolls we used first." Julie said.

"Was there anything of value in the other scrolls?"

"Apparently from what I read in some of the test scrolls proved conclusively that Wiccan Tradition after Merlin was banished, became matriarchal. It said that men sought too much power and were too war like.

There was no mention of any of the Gods except for two. They were Heracles and Hermes! They used the Latin or Roman form for the two Gods.

It was if they had adopted an Amazonian way of life and society." Amena said.

"That would explain the symbol of Hermes and Heracles. It was chronicled that after Heracles became a male once more after his punishment had ended he was more compassionate toward women. I can see why they were placed as the Gods on the Altar."

"I read some of the Purification Ritual. It consists of an external and internal cleansing. We have to also Fast from all foods except water until the Closing of the Circle of Protection at the Site." Liz said.

"What do you mean by external and internal cleansing?"

"Well My Dear, have you ever Douched or had an Enema?" Liz asked.

"Enemas yes, douche no."

"Guess what we all have to do! Plus the ears, nose, and mouth." Liz added.

"I guess the new plumbing is going to get a workout. Does anyone else know?"

"No, Do you want me to tell them?" Liz asked.

"Yes, you better and tell them what has to be done. Please be as kind and gentile as possible with the new girls. You do know they are going to be scared?"

"Sure, after we explain everything one of us will stay with them to try to alleviate their fears.

Do you want to do the Purification before or after their Initiation Rite?" Liz asked.

"I think it should, be after unless the Primus and scrolls say otherwise. They may be physically drained and not really pay attention to the ceremony. After all none of us are, adults anymore and the children have regressed in age also. We really don't have the adult stamina we may have once had."

As we were speaking, Major Thompson came over to us again. I told him what we had decided as to our Ritual of Initiation and Purification Ritual. He had the shocked look on his face.

"Here is a list of the personnel that wish to be initiated. Do you really intend to purify yourselves?" Major Thompson asked.

"I think we had better if it means life or death. The Primus is to be followed to the letter with no deviation!" Julie said.

I was unprepared for my daughter to be so strong and to be decisive as she was. She had changed so drastically in her demeanor! She now sounded like her birth mother and my other daughters. I was tremendously proud of her!

I briefly gazed at the names on the paper handed to me. I had to look twice at it. The Major and Prince Henry along with the whole company of SAS men requested to be initiated. I was totally shocked! I handed the paper to Julie, Amena, and Liz. They had the look of disbelievement also upon their faces.

"Major, do you realize what is to be expected of all of you? The Royal Family is the Head of the Anglican Church! What is the Queen Mother going to say?" Liz said.

"His Highness has already spoken to the Queen Mother and the King. He told her of the vision. When he said it was shared by all at this location, they determined that if he wished to partake in the initiation he should. That vision made all of us firm believers! Many of my people do not even practice a religion or belief because of their jobs of being soldiers. The common saying is there are no atheists in a foxhole.

We have seen something quite extraordinary that previously were just myths to us." The Major said.

"Cecil, when you speak to your men and the prince tell them we will accept them gladly.

As you will find out as part of the ceremonial rite there is a passage that states; Hear ye Mighty Ones of the compass: This person has been consecrated priest/priestess, witch and hidden child of the Goddess.

As a priest or priestess of the Craft, we are the Hidden Children of the Goddess. We will not divulge the secrets of the Craft and forever keep its secrets.

Throughout the history of the world witch, sorcerer, sorceress, mystic, conjurer and all the other terms, have been slandered, tortured and murdered. They have become secretive for self preservation and preservation of the Craft and Coven.

Are you all prepared to join the Craft even with possible persecutions and repercussions?" Julie said eloquently with depth and feeling.

"I can speak for all of us and that answer is yes. In someways by what Liz and Amena have told me it is very similar to the Masonic Rite and the Order of the Eastern Star." The Major said.

"Very well Cecil, but you must tell your men what Julie has said. In some respects the symbols of the Masons are similar but they are Christian based.

If they all agree, we will initiate them to the first level in three days time. Liz will suitably prepare you all and I. By the way the Initiation is done Skyclad or as you say without a stitch on. ", Amena said smiling, giving the Major a kiss on the cheek.

I couldn't believe that the Major had blushed, but he did. It brought a smile to his face. I do think that he has started softening toward us or a chance to see us all naked.

He again thanked us all and walked off toward Prince Henry.

Julie, Amena, and Liz all had smiles on their faces. I don't know if the smiles were lecherous or not.

"Have any of you contacted the Covens in the area?"

"I contacted several today. They contacted their people to see if they would participate. When they were told of following the Old Ways, they seemed skeptical to say the least. I had no choice but to tell them about several of the scrolls but not of the Primus.

I told them that only third degree would participate in the ceremonies but any of second and first degree as well as initiates would be welcome to observe within the Protective Circle.

Three Covens of the Craft are coming to participate. By then, the Primus should be totally translated.

They were skeptical of performing two degrees so close together without proper preparation. I told them that there was a reason for this and I would explain that to them in person." Amena stated.

"I'm glad you didn't tell them everything. They might have insisted on going to the Sorcerers Stone. That could lead to their demise!"

I could see by their facial expressions that they knew I was right. At last, everything started to fall into place. As you know people will be people we all sometimes say one thing and do something else. That is part of human nature!

Amena, Julie, and Liz left me to check on the translation of the Primus. I could feel the excitement building within me stronger and stronger.

I had to compose myself and concentrate of what was to come. After the Team was initiated to Second Degree then we would prepare for Merlin and his Lair. We needed to heed the warning of Lady Nimue.

I was getting tired I went into the house after telling everyone that I was going to my bedchambers. They all knew I was still very tired and understood, of course, Taylor had other Ideas. Well maybe I did too!

I could see everyone watching the two of us go into the house together. No one made any comment but the smiles were on their faces.

We finally made it to my bedchamber and embraced lovingly. It is and was the greatest of thrills to be held and kissed by him. It didn't take long for us to be in the bed.

In order to satisfy our sexual urges and appetites we must have done everything we could do three times without having vaginal intercourse.

As we lay in bed cuddling, he continued to hold me in his strong arms. I was convinced I loved him and he was convinced he loved me.

I had to leave the bed for the bathroom. I wanted to clean up a little for me and for Taylor. I also wanted to clean him up after our romp under the sheets.

I was cleaning up when there was a knock at the bathroom door.

Taylor entered and said, "Sweetheart, you have to get dressed again and so do I. We have visitors from the American Embassy. Major Thompson said the Deputy Ambassador and the Chief Spook (C.I.A.) or Charge D'Affairs at the embassy with a Marine escort."

"What the Hell do they want?"

"His name is Neil Farnsworth and her name is Millicent Kravitz. They came to check on our well being after hearing reports of the Regressions and other cases."

"Well, I think they are just going to have to wait until I can take a shower. I don't care who they are this is our compound of scientific investigation. Also we are in the U.K. not in the States."

"Gee you're pretty when you're mad, Darling." Taylor said as he led me into the Shower.

That was all we needed! It was as if we were in the bed. We made very passionate love to each other! We didn't need hot water we made our own!

We had just finished making love a second time in the Shower when there was a knock at the door with the door opening.

Evelyn stepped in saying; "I should have known you two where in the shower together. Oh my! Bri'de look at your chest! That's the deepest shade of red I ever saw."

"Okay Auntie Pervie, we love you too! Why the hurry?"

"Cecil is getting really pissed off at that Spook Bitch. I think he wants to kill her! She's asking him a Shitload of questions that are none of her business concerning us." Evelyn said.

"Evelyn, you may be my dearest and only sister but get the Hell out of here. Oh yes, We love you Darling." Taylor said with a smile.

I have never seen Evelyn leave an area so fast before. I guess she finally realized what Taylor and I had been doing. Before she ran out the door, I could see that her cheeks turned a bright red.

We had returned to my bedchamber. I noticed that Evelyn was sitting on the sofa and my clothes were laid out. Taylor's clothes were folded and placed into a stack on the bed.

Taylor gave me a very deep kiss, grabbed his clothes and left my bedchamber.

"My Dear, you have him lock, stock, and barrel. I've never in my life seen Taylor this way. He is thoroughly smitten with you. He is showing signs of devotion I have never seen before. Well Mrs. Taylor Preston, welcome to the family." Evelyn said giving me a kiss and a hug, as only a very close relative and best friend would do.

"Evelyn, I'm so confused. One minute I am a male in my twilight years and the next I'm a teenager on the road to life as a female. I still have all my memories and knowledge of my previous life. I still have the love in my heart for Kristen and my children. Now I'm experiencing love for another man. This is so disconcerting!"

"My Dear almost Sister in Law and best friend, first of all you are no longer a senile biological male. You are a very pretty, vivacious, gifted, biological teenage girl with raging hormones. The baby making equipment is there but your body is still developing.

It's all right to love Taylor, as you are all, or going to be a young woman. Like I said before I've never seen Taylor like this before. You have total control of him! Now let me help you get dressed."

"Who do think is going to wear this clothing a hooker? I'm not trying to seduce someone!"

"What's wrong with it?"

"Let's start with the foundations shall we; Black see through lace panties, bra, full slip, garter belt and very sheer black stockings. You can see my pubic hairs! My nipples can be seen in my bra cups!

The shoes are black patent leather with a heel that must be at least three inches with an ankle strap. You really want to see me flat on my ass don't you?

At least you could have taken out a slack suit but, oh No, you had to pull out a gray skirt suit with the sheerest black blouse you could find!"

"Will you shut up and get dressed! I never heard someone Bitch as much as you do! Get your lingerie on and I'll help you with your and makeup."

I could see that Evelyn would not concede the least. I even caught myself pouting. By the Goddess, I never pout!

The worst part was Evelyn laughed at me saying I looked cute. Cute? What the Hell is Cute! I was Pissed Off beyond belief and stayed that way until I had my lingerie on.

I took one look in the mirror at myself, now I could see why Taylor was enamoured with this Hot to Trot teenager. I silently thanked the Mother Goddess and my Mother's Genes, which seemed to be dominant.

Evelyn could see in my face I was pleased beyond belief as she stood behind me smiling that "I Told You So" look. She took me by the hand and led me to the Bathroom so she could help finish me up.

We reweaved my hair back into French braids, which looked spectacular on me, and I liked. She took extra care in helping me with my makeup not too much or too little. She applied a rose blush, a rose red lipstick and matching nail polish. My War Paint was on! I'm ready for anything! I had all the confidence in the world!

Evelyn brought my skirt and blouse from the bedroom. I stepped into the skirt and buttoned and zippered it in back after putting on my blouse.

The effect was marvelous! I felt marvelous! I looked marvelous! It was even better when I slipped on my shoes and jacket. The skirt was about three to four inches above my knees just enough to accent my legs. The effect of the Pumps gave a certain accent to my legs that would drive a legman crazy. The jacket accentuated my waist and breasts.

I stood looking in the mirrors at myself; it finally dawned on me what Evelyn was tying to get through to my head. I was a man's wet dream! I was a fantasy girl. I was the dream that every young boy wanted to have. I was proud of my mirror image and myself! The only thing I had to do was get used to the Damn High Heels without killing myself!

I applied some perfume and walked into the bedroom very carefully as Taylor walked in. He took one look at me and smiled saying, "You are absolutely gorgeous, Darling. That outfit looks spectacular on you!"

I don't know what possessed me but I did a low formal curtsey to him, almost falling on my Ass Saying, "I'm glad I please you, kind Sir. This outfit was Evelyn's Idea for the people from the embassy. Is Prince Henry going to be present with Miriam?"

"They weren't at first, until I asked him to attend. I thought that perhaps it would be best to have a representative from the Crown there to keep those two under control. Shall we go to the Witch Hunt?" Taylor said smiling at me.

"Taylor! Please do not use those types of words in this house. We can't get anyone upset especially the children! We know what the possible repercussions may be but they don't."

Taylor reached for me and gave me a kiss saying, "I apologize for my transgressions in the use of my words. You are absolutely correct in saying what you did. Are the both of you ready?"

"Let's just get this over with. One further thing is under no circumstance are they to stay or go with us to the new Site."

"I'll be in my room if you need me." Evelyn said giving us both a kiss and leaving.

Taylor took my hand into his leading me into the depths of Hell. Thank Goodness, Witches don't believe in the Christian concept of Hell or the Devil. Demons maybe, but the Devil, Absolutely Not!

We arrived at Library hand in hand. You could see the looks given to us by all. Seated on the love seat were a man and woman.

The male was in his mid forties, full brown hair, over 6" feet tall with a heavy build and distinguished looking. He was casually dressed for travelling.

The female was in her early thirties, Blond hair (poorly Bleached you could see her hair roots) 5'9" tall and about 150 pounds. She was dressed very casually but a pronounced bulge was apparent through her lightweight jacket.

They both stood as we walked into the library. I felt completely out of place the way I was dressed.

Neil spoke first saying, "Dr Polanski? Taylor Preston?"

"Yes on both counts. Please everyone sit down."

"How can we be assured that these kids are who they say they are?" Millicent Kravitz said sarcastically.

"First of all we believe our fingerprints have not changed. Secondly, There is a representative of the High Peerage present to verify our identities who just happens to be my assistant. Thirdly, there is a member of the Royal Family present to also vouch for our credibility. Fourthly, if you don't believe us you can take you bleached blonde head and your Spook Ass out of my sight. I may rip each of your bleached hairs out of your head one by one and kick your Boney Spook Ass out of here and this meeting.

We don't need your attitude but we demand your respect!"

"I will be informing Senator Stevens and Byron Arens of the State Department as to your conduct.", Taylor said in a fit of anger.

"Mr. Preston, Please forgive us, I told Milli to act the way she did to you. Her actions were on direct orders from Byron Arens. Both of your tempers are renowned in Washington. Now we are certain you are who you say you are."

"That's Bullshit! Prince Henry, Major Thompson, and Lady Miriam my assistant, are sitting right there. They have even spoken to you prior to our arrival.

Listen Kravitz and you also Farnsworth neither of you needed to play the game you just did. Orders or Not!

As for Arens, he will be in the Hot Seat later with the White House."

"Look, we apologized we were under explicit orders to ascertain your identities. We meant no harm, we had to be sure that there was no deception involved.", Kravitz said honestly.

"We are prepared to issue to all involved, new Passports confirming your new identities", Farnsworth said.

Suddenly Prince Henry stood saying, "On behalf of the King and through our Prime Minister the British Government will be lodging a Formal complaint with your State Department as to your behaviors.

These people have gone through quite an ordeal physically, emotionally and psychologically.

If your country does not want these people, we are prepared to offer to them citizenship here. We would gladly accept all of them.

In my opinion, you and your bosses are nothing but bureaucratic bunglers and bullies that have no business in the Diplomatic Corps of the United States.

Major Thompson, I as a Prince of the Realm order you and your men to escort these two back to London and the Embassy under Guard to be turned over to no one but the Ambassador. Their Diplomatic Credentials are revoked! They are to be deported immediately after meeting the Ambassador. This is an order by Proclamation of the King, Parliament and the Prime Minister!

Miss Kravitz you are to turn over your firearm to Major Thompson.

Major, if she doesn't you may handle the situation accordingly with my permission. Deadly Force may be used if necessary!

Now Please leave!"

After the Prince finished speaking, several SAS men appeared out of nowhere. Kravitz was disarmed and both were placed into the custody of those men, in handcuffs. When Kravitz and Thompson were removed, I could see a sadistic smile of pleasure on the Major's face.

Major Thompson later informed us that Millicent Kravitz and Neil Farnsworth tried to intimidate several of his men to gain entry to our property. She threatened to shoot one of his men if they didn't gain access. He wanted their blood and now received it via the Prince.

I could see the anger in the eyes of Millicent Kravitz as she was taken under escort from the library. I knew at that moment we had made an enemy that was very resourceful in her trade.

I also knew that their careers and their superiors were over. They would now be branded as pariah within the intelligence and diplomatic communities. Millicent Kravitz was not to be a woman scorned! I considered her dangerous and very vengeful!

"Bri'de, I am not going to apologize to what was said to your fellow countrymen. Those two were arrogant blighters that had to be taken down a bit. I disliked the way they were treating you and Taylor.

The Ambassador briefed them as to your situation. Apparently, he really didn't have any control over them as they exhibited their true loyalties. It was not to the Ambassador!", Prince Henry said.

For some unknown reason, I started to cry. Miriam, Prince Henry and Taylor came to me. Those three actually took turns holding me saying comforting words to me to try to calm me down.

While they were trying to calm me down Cecil came back. He actually walked to me and placed a kiss on my cheek saying, "Bri'de, this step was necessary by Prince Henry. Those two showed, to be quite honest, intolerant behavior toward you and no respect to those in this household. It could have been classified as bigotry here in Great Britain. We seem to be more tolerate of everything except Terrorism and Politics."

I was a little taken aback by his show of emotion and his words. These past days have been the hardest I have ever experienced in my long life.

I cannot fathom why it doesn't bother the others, the changes they have gone through. Perhaps the reason is their ages, I don't know whatever it may be, but the others have adjusted rather well. If there were a problem, I would have heard of it by now.

I thanked everyone for their concern leaving them in the library. I walked back alone to my bedchambers thinking of little else but the Dragon Staff. If this staff had the powers that Lady Nimue said it did how where we to keep it out of the hands of tyrants? It was of little use to contemplate this now, as Draclyon was not in our hands as of yet.

I quickly disrobed and dressed myself in a pink silk and lace nightgown and robe. I slipped on my mules and lay on my bed. All I wanted to do was read today's progress reports and relax.

I was reading a report from Amena when the intercom buzzed. It was Birdie asking if I would like a cup of tea. I gladly accepted her offer.

Within a brief time period, there was a knock on my door. It was Birdie bringing my tea and a plate full of finger sandwiches.

"We heard ye had a bit of a problem wi' those people. I wanted to bring these about before but Miriam asked me to wait a bit.", Birdie said with a smile.

"Thank you Birdie, but if you keep feeding me like this I'm going to gain too much weight."

"Ye be a growing girl ye needs the nourishment.", Birdie said taking my hand into hers before leaving.

I had poured some tea and added lemon to it. Before I could taste it all of my daughters decided to just walk into my room without knocking.

"Don't all of you know how to knock! What if I was asleep"

"Don't you mean with Taylor!", Victoria said after kissing me in greetings.

"Yeah mom we heard you down the hall in our room.", Kristen said teasing me.

"All of you should talk I hear you every night. Poor Ashley and the other girls have heard you all the way downstairs in the library doing the bedside Mambo"

"We can't help it! Our husbands seem to have developed a lack of nookie syndrome. They always want us!", Brianna added.

"Besides that, they think we will now be able to have children. I can truthfully say I enjoy having this type of attention by Hank.", Kristen said.

"Yeah, but all of you don't have to be so loud!", Ashley said indignantly.

"Get used to it little sister. That's a family trait! You'll find out what it's all about in a few years. Just don't be in a hurry to give yourself away to just any man. When the right man comes you'll know. Mom and all of us will be around for you to talk to if you need to.", Kristen said taking Ashley into a sisterly hug.

"Mom, I can speak for all of us that this is the most attention we've received from them in a very long time. We love our husbands very much and would do anything to make them happy. We want their children very badly it would be like a dream come true.", Brianna said with tears in her eyes.

I couldn't help but draw her closer to my breast. As we hugged, my other daughters came closer to Brianna and me. We enveloped ourselves into a group hug. All of us were crying as we held each other. I could feel the maternal family bonds of my children getting closer and getting stronger.

Previously in my other life we seemed to have drifted apart, we had a difficult time communicating with each other. Now it seems we all share a common bond. Our brains are on the same wavelengths as well as our emotions.

"Mom when will you be going to the new Site?", Victoria asked through her tears of joy.

"I expect within a few days after the Primus is transcribed."

"Mother, didn't Julie, Auntie Liz and Auntie Amena tell you?", Ashley said in bewilderment.

"Tell me what?"

"The Primus is fully translated. It was finished just before those Embassy people arrived. They went into the kitchen with the translation.", Ashley said.

As she told me this, there was a knock at the door. Liz, Jaime, Miriam, Gerri, and Amena walked through the door.

"Are we interrupting!", Amena asked almost in a whisper.

"Why no not at all. It's just Mother and Daughter bonding time for us. Please come in, grab a hunk of bed with us."

"We know what happened earlier, Miriam, Cecil, and Henry told us. We are so sorry that we weren't there to lend you our support.", Liz said tearfully coming into our hug.

"Did Ashley tell you that the Primus is finished. We were in the kitchen while the inquisition was taking place. We all feel the same as Liz. It was uncalled for! I'm elated that Henry wouldn't tolerate what they did.", Miriam said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"I can now see why you and he belong to each other. He is a fine young man. He will be a perfect husband for you. Just don't forget to invite us all to the wedding!"

"Speaking of weddings. You better not forget to invite all of us to yours and Taylor's.", Miriam countered.

"Hey, Carolyn and I get to deliver all your babies! We'll be rich! Think of the charges for the PAP Smears!", Gerri said with a laugh.

"Do you mean we'll have more sisters and brothers?", Brianna asked.

"Don't be an Ass! That's what Gerri meant!", Julie said chiding her sister.

"Part of the revelation stated that all of us were to have children. Our families would flourish!"

"I can barely remember your birthdays now! What am I going to do with more dates to remember.", Victoria said smiling.

"Buy a day Planner?", Ashley said mischievously.

That was all that was needed to be said, the war was on! It seemed that all the pillows were taken from my bed and into my daughter's dangerous hands. We had the largest pillow fight that was ever seen in the British Isles. Everyone was fair game! There were no exclusions!

Gerri's pillow must have ripped open when she hit Victoria with it. There was suddenly goose feathers and Down everywhere. We had a blizzard of feathers! They seemed to cover everyone and everything! It was grand to see us all enjoying ourselves like this. Even Birdie and Tom are going to really lose their tempers! We made a shambles of the rooms in my chambers.

We finally calmed down and collapsed on the bed, all of us laughing.

"We better call Birdie and get the Vacuum up here to clean this mess up. I hope you all know we're Dead Meat!"

I called Birdie on the Intercom and told her what happened. There was silence on the line! I told her that at least three pillows had opened and had feathers covered the chamber. All she did was hang up on me!

"I think Birdie is Pissed Off! She hung up on me!"

There was a knock on the door followed by Birdie, Tom, Cecil, Taylor, Evelyn and Prince Henry. My daughter's husbands Hank, Peter, Freddie, and Stanley followed. One look at us sent everyone into a fit of hysteric laughter. That just brought more people into the room. Lesley, Lynn, Alva, Brittany and Kimberly came in.

"What the Hell is this a Convention? Who invited all of you into my chambers?"

"You're all a sight covered with feathers from head to toe! This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while! Why didn't you call us so we could join in?", Taylor said smiling.

That was all it took! I grabbed a pillow from Kristen and hit Taylor hard with it. The war was on once again! Added pillows were brought in from other rooms! By the time we ended it, everyone was covered. No one was left untouched including Prince Henry and Cecil. They seemed to love the festivities of a classic Pillow Fight!

There were at least eight inches of feathers on the floor. Everyone was in a joyful frame of mind. All the tenseness of the days past had vanished from each and every one of us. We all collapsed anywhere we could! Cecil and Prince Henry were in hysterics.

"I must say that was Jolly Good! This is the best I've felt in years. I thank you ladies for that fitful thrashing.", Cecil said with a full smile.

The man finally loosened up! He showed he was not totally roboticized. He actually showed human qualities!

"Why Cecil, you are Human after all! I may take you to my bed after this you big, gorgeous hunk of a man.", Evelyn said planting a passionate kiss on his lips.

I looked around and saw that Prince Henry had approved in what Liz did to Cecil.

"Major, it appears that you have infatuated a young lady. I do hope you will not take advantage of her, Colonel?

"Colonel? Don't you mean Major, Sire?"

"No Colonel, By the actions that you have exhibited earlier today the King and Queen Mother have agreed with me to promote you to Colonel.

So, by order of the King you are promoted to SAS Colonel assigned to Lady Miriam and me permanently along with your men. Do you accept sir?", Prince Henry asked.

"Yes Sire, I do accept. I can safely accept for my men also.", Colonel Thompson said without hesitation.

All of us applauded! Cecil's face was covered in lipstick from all of us.

I could see he loved the attention he was getting from us. For some reason, I sensed he did not receive much attention for women in his life. Perhaps he felt as if he belonged. I could see Evelyn was going to give him more attention then he could handle. However, could he handle her!

"Bri'de me girl, look what ye did! They be no more pillows in the house to be had! Ye all act like foolish schoolgirls on Holiday!", Birdie said.

"All we did was have some harmless fun! So some pillows were destroyed in the process! There was no physical harm done to anyone. You seemed to enjoy beating the Hell out of poor Tom.", Evelyn said.

"That be Truth!", Tom said.

"Ye deserved it me Husband!", Birdie said with a smile.

We all started to clean up the feathers. Kristen went to the Bathroom and came out complaining of pulling feathers from her Butt and other areas of a female nature. All we could do was smile and laugh. By the Goddess, the feathers were driving me crazy too!

Somehow Prince Henry got a feather up his nose or is that a Honker. When he sneezed, it finally came out much to his relief.

We had feathers everywhere you could think of! After two hours, they were all cleaned up. We were all in a blissful mood but very tired.

Birdie was right we had destroyed all the pillows available. It was worth it! Now I just wanted to crawl back into bed and go to sleep.

My Sons in Laws barely spoke to me before the change. That night they each came and kissed me goodnight before leaving with my daughters. They even called me Mom! The Goddess does work in mysteries!

I had asked that Liz, Evelyn, Gerri, Amena, Miriam, Kimberly, Ashley and Jaime Stay. I needed to speak with them.

Everyone stayed except Kristen, Victoria, Brianna and their husbands. That look of Love was in their eyes.

"During the cursory examination of the translation we agree it's as close as it will get to Olde and Modern English.

The Old Ones believed that in order to produce the power they used their spells had to be in the old tongues. We found out about sixty five percent of the Primus was in an ancient form of Scottish Gaelic, Followed by Celtic, Druidic and an obscure form of Latin.

The problem we were having was with the Druidic and Latin symbols. There just wasn't that much to reference those symbols.

We did manage to find a few of the symbols that were uncovered at Pompeii that were close in nature to our Primus.

By conjecture and extrapolation, we began to see a semblance to what the essence of the Primus is.

It is not only a Grimoire but also a complete instructional manual to the Craft. It's the true Magick of the Ancient Ones!

They could channel their Psychic energies to do virtually anything. Merlin was the strongest adept Sorcerer to ever live!

At one point, he shared his knowledge with others of the Craft. Later a Paranoid Psychosis may have set in. That's why he had a thirst and lust for Power. He considered himself at the same level as the Goddess and God he revered.

The Moon Goddess Diana and the Hermaphroditic God Hermes were angered at Merlin. He placed himself at the same level as the Gods and Goddesses. He refused to do their bidding! He was given many gifts one of the gifts was Draclyon. They ordered he be taught a lesson for his effrontery.

No one could get close to Merlin because of his psychosis until the Maiden Nimue. She made him in some ways to be in love with her with the help of Diana and Hermes. Nimue was told she had to remain a maiden so her Powers would abound. Merlin was always trying to get into her pants, which disgusted Nimue because of the age difference.

It was later that Nimue, Chyaedar, and Bri'de that exiled Merlin! Their combined Powers given to them by the Mother Goddess Diana and Hermes sent Merlin into exile.

That's why there are three Altars at the Site to amplify the Spells of imprisonment. That is also why we have the Three interlocking Circles of Protection.

I think after all of these centuries the Spell is weakening. Merlin's essence is close to breaking the Spell of Imprisonment.", Liz said.

"What could happen if Merlin was released or found a way to break that Spell?"

"Either the enslavement or destruction of all mankind.", Amena said sorrowfully.

"Amena contact the other Covens tonight. Are the initiates to some degree prepared?"

"Yes, we have been instructing all of them. All is in readiness for them to become Hidden Children of the Mother Goddess.", Amena responded.

"Do they wish to become a Hidden Child of their own free will and with parental permission?"

"They all want to proceed to be initiated. Their parents were hesitant at first because of the Christian influences. They changed their attitude when their children spoke to them. They all agreed, the attorneys have the agreement on audio tape." Evelyn said.

"Have you given anyone instruction into the Craft?"

"Oh my yes! We were even doing the instructions at the Bar B Que. We have even dispelled some misconceptions attributed to the movies, half-learned actors and ignorant authors. I thought only the children would have these misconceptions but quite a few adults had them also.

No wonder the Craft has PR problems!", Amena said smiling.

"When can we initiate them all?"

"They will be ready in two days for the First Degree. It will take about one to two weeks for the Second Degree. The children learn fast, it's the adult having the problems.

The Covens will be ready to perform the Rituals according to the Olde Ways and the Primus. They seemed as though they were anxious and honored to be asked and involved with the Olde Ways. When they were first contacted they didn't want to help until the other Coven members said yes.", Liz said.

"The Purification Rite will start three weeks after the Second Degree Ritual. We will all have to follow the Ritual exactly in order to go to the Sorcerer's Stone. That includes our SAS friends." Amena said solemnly.

" I know it normally takes years to prepare to be become a Priestess but we don't have that much time. I know the Mother Goddess will forgive us in our preparation! Time is not with us!"

"Mom, aren't you pushing it a little? There's so much to learn! The children are going to have a Burn Out!", Julie said passionately.

"I want you all to get this through your young thick pretty heads.

There can be no compromise in the Rituals! Our very existence of life depends on each of us to follow what is written.

All of us must do the Rituals correctly! The permanence of mankind depends upon us! We will succeed if we are prepared the revelations have stated so!"

Everyone could see that I was right. We had to succeed in our task. There would be no backing down now. The Primus was translated! Instruction of the Craft had begun to the initiates. There would be nowhere to run or hide from our fears! All of us had a job to accomplish and we would be successful in our tasks.

I could see the looks of apprehension and consternation on all their faces. We must have Draclyon! We must fulfill our Destinies! We would prevail!

Yes my readers there will be a Part 3.
