(DEVON and CADYN orb into his dorm and DEVON immediatley goes and sits down on his bed, shaking his head slightly.)
DEVON: I still don't see the harm in at least trying to find them.
(CADYN sighes heavily and sits beside him.)
CADYN: The Power will come out when its good and ready. Tampering with the balance is a very dangerous thing to do. It could have immense repercussions that we can't even begin to comprehend.
DEVON: I thought witches were supposed to protect innocents. To work for the greater good, saving lives and keeping demons in check.
CADYN: Technically we are but...
DEVON: But nothing! How can you sit back and let hundreds, maybe even thousands, of innocents die all to protect the balance? If that's what I have to do to be a witch, I don't want to be one anymore.
(CADYN sets her jaw indignantly and looks away from him. When she speaks again, her voice is very distant and it takes a minute for her to look at him.)
CADYN: Fine, I'll bind your powers. You won't be a witch anymore.
(DEVON raises a brow and looks down at his hands.)
DEVON: Whitelighters can do that?
(CADYN shakes her head.)
CADYN: No, but witches can.
(DEVON looks up at her with an expression of surprise.)
DEVON: You're a witch too?
(CADYN nods slowly.)
CADYN: So are Wyatt and Chris. We're hybrids. Our mothers were witches and our fathers were whitelighters. Their mother was Piper Halliwell, one of The Charmed Ones. Saving innocents is in their blood, but they understand that the power won't come out till its ready. That we can't make it come out of hiding.
DEVON: So if Chris and Wyatt are Piper's kids... wouldn't one of them get her share of The Power?
(CADYN shrugs and gets up from the bed, crossing to the window and looking out.)
CADYN: Any witch could have gotten her share of The Power, though your thought process is like that of almost the entire magic world. Each of The Charmed Ones had three children. Piper had Wyatt, Chris and Melinda. You remeber Melinda right?
(DEVON nods after a moment of thought and CADYN continues.)
CADYN: Phoebe had Prue, Alexia and Torrance. Then Paige had Henry, Taylor and Kennedy. Now Wyatt is the oldest at 25 and Paige's twins, Taylor and Kennedy, are the youngest at 16. Henry is the only whitch/whitelighter hybrid in her line-up, which is why a lot of people think he's one of The Destined. Alexia has had premonitions and sightings since birth, and everyone thinks she's a Destined. Then there's Wyatt, who is said to be the strongest witch ever born. Some think he's even stronger than The Power of Three while others think he's so strong because of The Power. All are very plausible theories, but they're just that; theories. Anyone could be a Destined.
(CADYN goes to stand in front of DEVON, looking down at him.)
CADYN: For all we know, you could be a Destined. Now tell me, which does more damage? Binding the powers of a Destined, in turn binding his or her share of The Power of Three... or waiting for The Power to reveal itself?
(DEVON sat in silence for a moment, still looking at his hands. Slowly he looks up at her.)
DEVON: You really think I could be a Destined?
(CADYN nods and sits beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder.)
CADYN: I really do.
(CADYN smiles lightly and rubs his back.)
CADYN: But it's getting late. You need to rest.
DEVON: What if they come back?
(CADYN shook her head, smiling comfortingly.)
CADYN: They don't know you're here. I cast a protection spell on your dorm, so even if they were to burst down your door they wouldn't see you.
(DEVON let out a low breath of air and relaxed a little bit.)
DEVON: Alright. Thank you, Cadyn. For everything.
(CADYN smiled and stood up, moving towards the door.)
CADYN: Just doing my job. If you need me just call. I'll be here.
(With a small wave CADYN orbs out of DEVON's dorm.)
