Chapter 536: The origins of the Saxon pendant

The story just seemed to become more and more unbelievable. Rufus could believe easily that he had died in their past life because he had been on his way to death only a few months ago.

What he found hard to believe was that his Prudence had passed on early and the great Saxon family had fallen. He couldn’t help feeling like a sinner because he had not protected the legacy which had been passed on to him.

He was so grateful that the Saxon pendant had given Phoebe a chance to be reborn and granted them the opportunity to change things. He would make sure that when he died, it was not as a sinner that had left behind a weak fractured family.

There and then, he decided to double his efforts in training David as a worthy successor. He was a better fit for patriarch than his father Robert. If the generation gap was an issue, he would pass on the position to Robert and declare David his assistant so that he could naturally inherit the position after his father.

As for Phoebe, she would be a greater matriarch than Miranda, that much was obvious. She was fated to be a Saxon, all of the mysteries about her were tied to the Saxon family and their inheritance. He recalled the fact that the Saxon’s could see her thoughts.

“This makes perfect sense, my goodness!” Rufus’ hand flew to cover his open mouth, staring at his grandson and his woman. “All this time, I tried my best to study the pendant as much as I could, hoping to see a little bit of the inheritance. It looks so ordinary, one could never suspect that it wields so much power like bringing someone back from the dead.” He maintained his stunned reaction.

Waving its index finger to disapprove his words, the Saxon spirit leveled it’s eyes to meet those of Rufus. “Ordinary! that is not true at all! That pendant is one of the most powerful magical relics to ever exist in the universe. It was created from the tears of a whispering star and crystallized by an ancient sorcerer long before my time. It found its way to our family sometime in the thirteenth century when a dying witch passed it on to Ysabeau Saxon, the first Saxon guardian of the pendant.

From then on, it was passed down from one Saxon witch or warlock to the next. After the supernatural war, I passed it on to Leofrun Saxon. I stressed that it should be guarded jealously. I will never understand how or why Prudence, your wife gave it to Phoebe because she is not a Saxon, but I am glad that she did because it all worked out in the end thanks to the fact that Phoebe was a Saxon by marriage and she had carried Saxon children.” It draped one leg over the knee. “I will stress however that after Phoebe; we go back to tradition and keep the pendant in the family.”

Rekha rubbed her chin; she had questions of her own. “Why must the pendant be passed on to Saxon’s only? I have heard all the founding families shared powerful relics after the supernatural war. How were those powerful relics shared at the time? Who decided what family got what relic?” She asked with measured politeness.

The spirit leaned forward, a faraway look crossing its eyes. “This pendant is different from those relics; it is a blood bound pendant. To be honest when it comes to shared relics, it was the relics that chose their owners and not the other way round. That is why no family complained about which relics went to whom.

It saved us a lot of trouble which would have resulted from greed. A perfect example of this is the mystic keys, after the war almost every family wanted a key for genuine or selfish reasons. I decided the distribution of the keys myself. Look at the results now! with time, the descendants of those families betrayed the cause by either neglecting the safety of the keys for they did not believe in the supernatural anymore or they sold them to God knows who.

The founding families have failed in their duty of educating the younger generations on the supernatural. They lost themselves in the lust for wealth The worst crime they committed is that they hid information about Ravana and brought danger back to the world.”

“This is all interesting.” Maureen said in an awe filled voice; her curiosity however was still shackled to the Saxon pendant. “Can I have a look at this pendant uncle Rufus, it seems like a relic one should have a look at before death, sort of like one of the wonders of the world. The real wonders, not Saxon tower kind of wonder.” Maureen felt the need to add the last line because the Saxon tower was not one of the wonders of the world in her opinion.

Before the old patriarch could answer, the spirit spoke first. “Not now Maureen because we need to tackle the issues that brought us here.” It shifted its attention from her to its descendant. “Please Rufus tell me that you have some of the mystic keys.” It looked at him with eyes that were a mix of impatience and desperation.

Rufus opened his mouth, but no words came out, he contemplated on whether to tell the truth or not. The information about the keys was top secret, only a few people were supposed to have such dangerous knowledge. Maureen, Rekha Phoebe and David were not on the list.

They all could see that he was hesitating, so Phoebe let out a short but heavy sigh. [He must see no reason to trust us with such information.]

“I am sorry, but I cannot confirm or deny if I do. Even though we are sharing all of our information there are some things that I cannot just come out and expose.” He let out an uncomfortable laugh.

Frustration formed in the spirit’s eyes. Like Maureen, it was tired of all the unnecessary secrets and information about the keys was on that list. They needed to know how many keys they had altogether. “Even though Azur is back?” It asked in a sharp tone.

Pulling his brows closely together, Rufus repeated the name. “Azur? I only know one Azur and he is the demon commander of Ravana’s army. That cannot be possible! how can he be back? He has been locked up in one of the prisons in the academy for a very long time.” He remarked off handedly because he was certain that they were wrong.
