Happy Mothers Day!

This Chapter is for all the Mum's out there. Especially my Mum her has helped me so lot in my life.

Chapter .3.

It was like walking but it was pushing through the barriers between dimensions. Not many could handle it. But Shadow Storm was unique and could do things others couldn't.

That was way she was an assent to the Spies Corps.

She walked through dimensions. Seeing the change in scenery of each new dimension only briefly. Till she gets to the Earth Dimension.

"Back on Earth again", Shadow Storm murmurs

She then jumps to St Vladimir's. She cloaks herself in shadows, her eye spotted three guards at the gates. But they weren't an issue and she easily slips in with Shivia by her side.

'They need their security upgraded. This would never do', Shadow Storm thinks

She watches the Novice Classes and they would be dead facing any off the other creatures in not just other realms but THIS one. They weren't getting training with more then stakes. Silver knives would work too on Strigoi. A sword was better through. Or her guns.

But Moroi and Dhampirs didn't think outside the box and create knew weapons and ideas. That was why so many were getting killed. The Moroi needed to learn combat magic with their element. But the Queen wouldn't change the law and it was killing innocents.

Also the trainers that Shadow Storm could see weren't even trained up to a good standard. As they didn't have the marks off killed Strigoi on them. And her eyes data it was bringing up about each of the instructors didn't say much about their abilities. And some had only just passed Novice training.

This was worse than she thought.

They would need very long months and months off training to get to a suitable standard. And yes she said suitable. She believed ALL Guardians needed to be exceptional. They needed to have a higher standard of training and grades to graduate. As these records her eye showed didn't show anything special. Nobody was at her standard and she knew that wouldn't happen here. But they she be at Eddie's standard that he left at.

She walks around the buildings looking at the substandard education that was now being offered. How did the Headmistress, The Queen and Alberta allow this?

She needed to talk to Alberta. Her robotic eye swirls as it searches for her. And locates her in her office with the Headmistress.

Shadow Storm shadow travels into the room still cloaked in shadows waits in the corner. She watches and listens to the conversation. With Shivia cloaked with her.

"Ellen we need to increase the Guardians around the boundary", Alberta says

"Absolutely not. We haven't got the staff", Headmistress Kirova replies

"Ask the Queen for more Guardians", Alberta suggests

"They are short staffed at the Court as it is. We are doing fine", Headmistress Kirova states

"No we aren't! Ten novices were injured in the last attack and two killed! Four Moroi were killed and 6 Injured too! Those Moroi injured and killed tried to make a difference using their elements!" Alberta exclaims

"Their deaths were their fault. They shouldn't have been out there in the first place", the Headmistress states

Shadow Storms eye narrows. Kirova was definably out off line. Every life was important.

"They did what was right! And they don't deserve to be punished" Alberta growls

"No they didn't do what is right. They deserve to be fighting. Moroi shouldn't be fighting. That is the end of it Guardian Petrov. Do your job with what the Queen gave you", Kirova orders leaving

Alberta slams the door. Cursing. Shadow Storm sits in Alberta's chair smirking at her friends cursing.

"Language old friend", Shadow Storm says causally

Alberta jumps and spins around.
"Rosemarie!" Alberta exclaims in delight and opens her arms

"Hello old friend", Shadow Storm replies getting up and hugs Alberta.

"What are you doing here?" Alberta asks smiling for the first time in a long time.

As they sit down and Alberta pours them tea.

"Answering your call", Shadow Storm replies

"You have a plan?" Alberta asks
"Some ideas yes. But I am here scouting at the moment. Before giving my Emperor-King the plan", Shadow Storm replies

"So you heard Kirova?" Alberta asks
"Yes and that will NOT stand in Androzani and the CapitalsAhtohallan, where I live, or Etherium any other place there. They will soon learn that", Shadow Storm replies

"So what will be your plan?" Alberta asks her friend that she saw as a daughter.

"We will relocate most of the Novices and Moroi here to Androzani. As well as many in the Court including the Queen. They will ALL need to take a list off classes both compulsory courses and optional courses for both Moroi and Dhampir off ALL ages. The courses will be decided between the Emperor-King, Myself and the Leaders of the Corps. But I needed to see how things are now", Shadow Storm replies
"So have you been here a while?" Alberta asks
"I have. 2 hours here. I watched the classes", Shadow Storm replies

Alberta sighs, "I know what you will say. But it is all Kirova and the Queen"

"I got that from the conversation I just witnessed. So all these attacks are this bad?" Shadow Storm asks

"Yes. Sometimes worse. The Moroi who choose to fight end up getting detention", Alberta informs her

Shadow Storms eyes narrow, "That is wrong. It is because of those Moroi that so many survive"

"I agree. But Kirova and the Queen don't", Alberta replies sadly

"They will have to see it soon. I hear from Viktoria that a rebellion is coming", Shadow Storm tells her

"There are some young ones here in it too", Alberta informs her

Shadow Storm nods, "I heard some talks. But I will get a clear picture when I go to Court to assess the situation there"

"I hope you will be able to help us", Alberta says honestly

"And I hope we can too. How many attacks have happened here? When and numbers?" Shadow Storm asks

Alberta gets the files and explains it all to Rosemarie. Alberta had seen the changes in Rose. To Alberta Rose had grown up in these 11 years she had been living in Androzani. She called herself her full name. She had married several men who Alberta KNEW put her back together. She had become the best Guardian in the World or the Realms. And Rose wasn't just a Guardian. She had really grown.

And her challenges she had faces and the battles scars to Alberta it just made Rose stronger and deadlier. Alberta knew in this situation Rose was actually her Spymistress title of Shadow Storm.

Shadow Storm scanned all the documents with her eye to go through them later.

"It looks like your wards are not strong enough", Shadow Storm states

"They aren't but we…", Alberta starts
"I will fix them. They will hold till we can move everyone. Then someone else will refresh them", Shadow Storm interrupts

Shadow Storm was going to use on of the rare skills she learnt to make the wards stronger.

"That will be a great help", Alberta says smiling

"Then lets go. I have the reports scanned into my eye so I can go through them later. I have already looked at your glasses. And talked to you. So the wards are the last thing to do before I leave", Shadow Storm replies

"Then I'll take you too the wards", Alberta offers

"Thank you. I will walk behind you with invisibly magic", Shadow Storm says getting up

They make their way through the school. Lucky the kids were all still in glass. They reach the outer boundaries and Shadow Storm lifts the invisibly spell.

"What will you do?" Alberta asks curiously

"This", Shadow Storm states putting her flesh hand on the ground

She mutters in an Ancient Language. Runes run down her arms and into the ground. Alberta watches in awe as the runes run down Rose's arm and attach themselves to the ground. Alberta felt the wards strengthen.

Shadow Storm sighs when the Runemage spell takes hold. The wards would keep the Strigoi out for a while. So nobody should get killed unless they leave the School.

"There. As long as people don't leave the school. The Runes will make show the kids are safe", Shadow Storm explains smiling at Alberta.

"Thank you Rosemarie this is a lot off my mind", Alberta tells her.

"Your welcome. I done it for the kids and you. I don't want anymore people hurt or killed", Shadow Storm tell her

"Thank you all the same", Alberta replies, "Where you going now?"

"The Cave where Dimitri was turned Strigoi. I believe some are hiding in it now. I will take them out then more onto Court", Shadow Storm replies

"Be careful", Alberta tells her

"I will be. Be careful my friends and you will hear from me soon", Shadow Storm tells her

"Till next time", Alberta says hugging her

"Till next time", Shadow Storm replies hugging her back

They part and Shadow Storm disappears into the Shadows. To go and rid the world of more Strigoi…
