Chapter 9

Jerry was amazed at the size of the underground structure that the Crystal
Moon Pack had, his own pack lived in and around a town mixed with humans.
The Crystal Moon pack didn't have a single human even remotely close by.
The underground structure was large; it was reached by the main house and
had a number of exits around the property.  Ben had told him that most of
the work had in fact been done by the mages in the pack.  The underground
consisted of two levels, allowing space for the others twenty seven
families that made up the pack.  There were three rooms set aside for
schooling, a small library and a number of other rooms referred to as
training rooms.

It was in one of these training rooms that Jerry found his mate, not
surprisingly Linda his mates sister was there with him.  "You need to
concentrate Ben, or this will never work", since their arrival back in the
pack grounds Linda had been training Ben in the use of his sorcerers
powers.  In truth she was more like a drill sergeant then a teacher, the
exercises she had Ben performing were designed to strengthen his abilities
and to give him greater control.  Control was what Linda was pushing for;
Ben had after all nearly killed himself by losing control and drawing to
much raw energy to himself.  Ben grunted as he pushed against his sister's
force field.

Jerry moved over to Gary, who was sat with a small girl, Gary had removed
his shirt to show the little one his crystals.  Jerry could see why Ben
loved Gary, his big hairy chest and narrow waist, were very appealing.  The
little girl appeared to be about eight; she was looking at Gary's crystals
and looking at one she had in her own hand.  The crystal she held was a
bright orange red in colour, not anything Jerry recognized but was sure
Gary could tell him if he asked.  Jerry sat close to the pair and listened
to Gary's gentle voice, for such a large and powerful man he seemed very
soft and caring to the little girl.

"Ok little one I want you to tell me how your crystal feels", the little
girl frowned and closed her eyes, she smiled sweetly as if she were feeling
something from the crystal.  The little girl looked at Gary again, "It
feels warm, like a blanket or a hug", Gary nodded and smiled, "I think it
could be more", the little girl hesitated not sure how to explain what she
felt.  Gary shifted the chain he wore until he was holding a similar
looking crystal, he lent toward the girl.  The little girl didn't hesitate
she reached out and touched it and her eyes widened, Jerry wished he could
feel what the little girl and Gary did when they touched the crystals.  "Oh
yours if so much hotter, it's more like a really big fire" Gary nodded and
turned the little girl's attention to a candle.  "Now watch what I do",
Gary grasped his crystal in his hand and waved his other hand over the
candle focusing his power through the crystal, "Light".  The word wasn't
really necessary the intent and the crystal was enough, but like most
crystal mage's Gary found it easier if he had a trigger word or phrase.

"Now you try", the girl looked wide eyed and enthusiastic, she held her
crystal tightly and focused on the candle and what she wanted to happen.
"Light", the little girl waved her hand over the candle and frowned as she
spoke, the wick of the candle glowed for a moment.  Gary smiled at the
disappointed frown the little girl gave the candle, "It will take some
practice Emily, why don't you run along and do just that".  Emily smiled
and nodded as she got up she hugged Gary, Jerry was startled when she cried
out in shock, Gary pulled away quickly.  "Are you ok Emily", the little
girl nodded and stared at one of Gary's other crystals; it was black, "Yes
uncle, I don't like your dark crystal".  Gary took hold of the black
crystal and nodded his understanding, it gave him chills when he held it,
"Few of us do, now run along".  Emily nodded and literally ran out of the
room.

Linda and Ben had stopped what they were doing when Emily cried out, Gary
let go of his crystal, "Shadow crystal".  Linda nodded her understanding
and turned her attention back to Ben who had also nodded.  Jerry looked at
Gary he had no idea what they were talking about.  "As a crystal mage Emily
is able to feel another crystal mages crystals and sense what they are, to
her the shadow crystal would have been less than inviting; even I find it
off putting and its mine.  However it has advantages like this", Gary faded
from view, Jerry peered at the spot he had been in and could see nothing
but shadows cast by the light.  "Vampires usually just refer to it as
shadow skills something they do naturally, I need the crystal, that's how I
know Leo, he helped me master it".  Jerry was impressed, "So what can a
crystal mage do"?

Gary reappeared, "It depends on the number of crystals we have, and what
element they associate with, I have the four basic and common one, fire,
earth, water and air as well as light and shadow.  The basic set gives me
control over the elements, we all have to find our strength and weaknesses
with each element".  Jerry frowned what Gary was saying sounded very much
like what a sorcerer could do without crystals being involved.  "So you're
like a sorcerer", Linda laughed, "What's so funny", Jerry's attitude was
defensive he was only trying to understand which wasn't easy.  Linda
smiled, "I'm sorry Jerry, it's just the way you said it, the difference
between us is huge, Gary make a rose for me".  Gary did as he was asked and
created a rose of ice, "Ben you as well", Ben grinned and created a rose,
it was the perfect example of a rose in bloom delicate red petals and a
strong scent.

"Now each rose is perfect in its own way, however Gary wasn't near a rose
push so couldn't form a true rose, if he had been in the garden he could
have encouraged a rose bush to bloom for me.  Ben on the other hand being a
sorcerer was able to create a rose out of raw power, creating things is
unique to a sorcerer.  Among other things, a crystal mage can control many
elements, a wood or nature mage can only control what the name implies the
same with a fire, air or water mage, all of whom are restricted to one
element.  There are also healers, a sorcerer can heal among other things,
however what is known as a healer can only heal and nothing else do you
understand".

Jerry frowned but nodded, "So what your saying is a sorcerer can use any
form of magic, a healer can heal a elemental mage can use their element and
a crystal mage can use any element that they have a crystal for".  Linda
nodded and smiled she was happy that Jerry picked up the basics of magic so
easily, "So how many of each does your pack have".  Linda laughed once more
and shook her head, "we can't tell you that yet love", Ben spoke softly as
he moved over to Jerry, "Just as we haven't told you our full numbers".
Jerry nodded his understanding; he knew he wouldn't be told everything
about his mates pack until a more formal agreement had been made between
the packs.

Ben sat on his queen sized bed and read from one of the texts Linda had
given him; the texts described the different things he could do.  He
thought back to the conversation that they had, had with Jerry, he was
happy Jerry was taking an interest in what his pack was trying to do.  Few
outside of the pack knew the full extent of the magic inside the Crystal
Moon pack, and most would probably not like what they found out if they
were ever told.  It was true that in the past not all members of the pack
had magic, and this was still true however every pup that was born now was
born with magic.  Many of the pups were in fact crystal mages due to an
agreement the last group of crystal mages had made with the pack.

Jerry entered the room he shared with Ben and was pleased to see his mate
there; he was even more pleased to see that Ben was naked and apparently
waiting.  Ben knelt up and hugged Jerry as he came over to the bed, "I'm
sorry if my sister and Gary overloaded you with magic information today".
Jerry smiled and kissed Ben, as they separated he shook his head and sat
down on the bed, "No the information helps, I never really knew there was
so much involved with magic before".  Ben grinned he drew a small amount of
power and created another rose, "This one is for you", Jerry took the rose
and grinned, it was the first time anyone had ever given him a flower.
"Your pack is fascinating, you all work so well together at making your
pack stronger", Ben grinned and lay back on the bed dragging Jerry with
him.  "The alphas all know what our pack is about; I think it was all part
of why we came to Australia".  Jerry nodded he had heard the gossip from
the other packs regarding the Crystal Moon pack, some of it even seemed to
be true.

Jerry looked at his mate and ran his hands over him; Ben's slimmer athletic
build still had a nice covering of hair.  However it was less noticeable
due to the fairness of it, Ben giggled as Jerry rubbed his hand along the
sensitive area around his arm pit.  "Don't do that", Jerry raised an
eyebrow and continued ignoring his mates pleas for him to stop, in the end
it was reduced to nothing more than a tickling match, which Ben lost due to
Jerry's larger size easily overpowering his slimmer build.

Ben sat up he and Jerry had been cuddling after the tickling match, "Come
on I want to show you something before dinner.  Curious Jerry got up and
watched as Ben pulled on a pair of shorts and t-shirt, noting his mate was
free balling.  Ben looked over at Jerry, "What you looking at", he grinned
as he spoke, Jerry moved over to him and put his hand down Ben's relatively
lose fitting shorts.  "Just thinking how perfect my mate is, and how much
fun I can have with you not wearing anything under your shorts".  As he
spoke Jerry rubbed Ben's cock and squeezed his balls making Ben groan and
press himself against Jerry.  "Come on enough of that or we will miss it",
Jerry was a bit confused as Ben refused to tell him where they were off to
in such a hurry.

Ben went outside and led Jerry to what appeared to be a massive shed; Ben
pushed open the doors to reveal a large hall with a polished wooden floor.
The interior had been lined and there was a proper ceiling, admittedly the
ceiling was five meters high with very elegant chandeliers hanging from it.
The hall was massive however what surprised Jerry was firstly the music
playing over the speaker system in the place.  But what mostly surprised
him was the couple dancing; it was not a simple dance the pair were going
through the complex steps of a Tango.

Ben and Jerry stood back as Linda and Gary danced, dancing was something
the pair loved to do, and took every opportunity to do.  They were waring
what they had been wearing earlier, Linda in a knee length dress with heals
and Gary in jeans and a polo.  Still they made it look effortless and
beautiful, "You should see them when they are dressed up", Ben grinned at
Jerry.  The other pair continued to dance unaware of their audience, "Do
you dance", Jerry asked Ben quietly, Ben shook his head.  "No I didn't know
Gary did until after Linda returned", Jerry looked a bit disappointed, "we
could ask them to teach us", the pair smiled at each other both liking the
idea.

Alpha Jacobi sat in his office, he had spent the day communicating with the
other pack Alphas, it was clear that the issue that had occurred in
Brisbane was not going away.  Through contacts both of his own and Gary's
he had learnt that there had been a number of attacks on Vampires and mages
that sympathised with both of what were known as the beast species not that
either werewolf or vampire would call themselves beasts.  What was causing
these attacks seemed to be magic being introduced into werewolf's and
vampire's, it was becoming evident someone didn't like the idea of the
packs and covens becoming stronger.  Jacobi sighed and rubbed his eyes,
some days he wished his pack had not thrown their lot in with the crystal
mages.  Although the change had been beneficial, and the crystal mages
continued to be there were still issues.  As alpha Jacobi had been told the
reasons behind his pack becoming mages and sorcerers for that matter.

Jacobi had been told that the head of the crystal mages had made contact
with a small pack over in Europe.  It had been established that that the
mages would be turned and become part of the pack, at the time the other
European packs had been against the idea.  Therefore the pack and the
remaining crystal mages had travelled to Australia, where the other already
established packs had agreed to the plan.  The crystal mages had been
turned as well as their children all of whom were then made part of what
was to become the Crystal Moon pack.  Not every pup born there after was a
mage but a good fifty percent were with growing numbers.  News of what
happened spread among other mages thus other mages approached the pack and
added their gifts to the pack.

Last to join the pack was Linda and Ben's mother who was a sorceress, and
by all standards she was a very strong one.  She had chosen not to be
turned straight away, however she did have two children both of which were
strong werewolves and sorcerers.  Sadly she had vanished shortly after
returning Linda to the pack and before she could be turned, Jacobi sighed
he had hoped to turn her and hopefully create a mate bond with the mother
of his pups.

Lilith strained against both the physical and magical bonds that held her
in place; she knew it was in vain however she still tried.  The sorcerer
collective had moved her back to Australia for some reason, at first she
had, had a small amount of hope, but it had been four months and still she
was a captive.  Lilith screamed into the darkness cursing those that kept
her from her Alpha and children, what must the three think of her.  Lilith
thought back on the day she had been captured, it was supposed to be the
day she was turned, something she had wanted for years and had regretted
not doing.  She had spoken to her daughter Linda regarding her brothers
training and had gone for a walk to clear her head.  It was as she was
walking that she had been attacked and captured by the sorcerer collective,
if it had happened a day later she would have been able to call out to the
pack for help.  However the collectives timing had been perfect and she had
been separated from her family and her future pack.  Lilith pulled on the
chains again and screamed once more.
