In The Shadows of Savannah

The Seeing Spell Savannah's port-side docks were like a murky world of fog and mists once the sun disappeared beyond the Western horizon. In the cool air of the early summer night the sweet smell of far off Magnolia trees and ocean sea salt filled the air around the wooden docks that ached with the pains of the heaving ocean tide.  Walking along the misty dock on this evening was the witch going by the mortal name of Morgan Isles  sent by Caspian to reignite the prophecy of giving him an heir to his evil world, an heir that beyond his knowledge still existed in the form of Cressida's son the comatose and bewitched Caleb Craine.  Morgan breathed in a large dose of sea air and grinned as the moon beamed down a glow of blue light down on her beautiful face.

Caleb wasn't the only child Cressida bore with Caspian, the dark lord; she secretly had twins: The two precious " Coins " as Caspian referred to his spawn were alive and well, and he had no idea. "Why didn't you tell us there were two? How could you have kept this from us?" Gabrielle asked, her voice raised in the shock of the moment.
