Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I know this is way off my normal time, but I got distracted tonight by a book. Haha. I hope you enjoy it, I'm so glad to be able to bring Chase, Wyatt & co into my main story! Thanks so much for reading! 060
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Aiden stares. He's never had a conversation like this with a Spellcaster. "That sounds incredible. Jake and I vacationed in Sulani recently for our honeymoon. It's beautiful." "It is." Wyatt agrees, smiling. "And it brought me Chase. Sulani has been good to us both." #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Wyatt vaguely motions toward the blue sky. "I'm a Mooncaster. I can use magic during the day, but just my own defective magic. At night I'm stronger because I can use the magic in the moonlight." There's an almost dreamy quality to his words as he speaks, staring up at the sky. #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"How did you end up in Sulani?" Aiden asks, since the man doesn't look like he would have grown up there. A little laugh comes from Wyatt. "Rebellion. Getting away from my father in Willow Creek. But also because it's beautiful, and marginally closer to the moon." #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"I make jewelry. Some of it enchanted. I sell it in Sulani and online. I must be okay at it, because I make enough to support my family. Chase is handyman around the island, but that's more for something to do, I think." It doesn't bring in money but it seems to satisfy Chase. #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Aiden continues, "I paint and sketch too. I suppose it was a way to turn my art into something more tangible." He admits, running his hand down his full sleeve. "I understand." Wyatt can understand that creative impulse. #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Wyatt looks around as he considers what Aiden said. "How did you get into tattooing?" He asks after glancing at Aiden's arms. "That's a long story." Aiden admits, smirking in memory. "The short version is, tattoos intrigued me, then I got one myself, and was even more interested." #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"Horses?" Wyatt asks, surprised but intrigued. "Yeah. He runs a horse rescue and rehabilitation business. He has 3 or 4 right now, separate from our house. Two are almost ready to go to new owners, according to Jake." Aiden explains proudly, happy about the work his husband is doing. #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"You don't have one of those big trucks I've seen so much of since I got here?" Wyatt asks when Aiden seems to be leading him to a horse trail rather than a road. Aiden smiles sheepishly. "We have one. But I don't know how to drive. So Jake has it. He needs it to transport horses." #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"Enough about me." Wyatt decides as he watches Aiden. "Could I rest at your house for a while? I'm a little tired out from my flight." "Oh! Yeah. Just a minute to lock up, I'll walk you there." Aiden responds quickly, before he grabs his keys for the main door. #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Aiden stares as he tries to imagine taking that risk. "That's... brave." Wyatt shrugs. "Stupid. My father tried to warn me. But I was being stubborn. I wouldn't get rid of my kids for anything, though. And I think going through the pregnancies was something really special." #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"Get knocked up? Yeah. Colby told you about how? The spell was supposed to be one-time. It should have been over after I had the twins. But the spell backfired when I was casting it. It made it permanent." Wyatt chuckles sheepishly, remembering his magical exhaustion afterward. #lyonslegacy 0110
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Far from offended, Wyatt laughs, putting a hand over his face. "Oh. Yes! Three girls and two boys. The triplets were a surprise." He admits with a small shrug. "So you really can...?" Aiden trails off, not sure how to say this delicately. #lyonslegacy 0110
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026For a moment Aiden considers that, remembering the conversation. "She did say she had to consult a colleague to figure out what was going on. Might not be common knowledge." Unable to contain his curiosity, the young man finally blurts out. "Do you really have five kids??" #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"That's news to me as well." Wyatt reassures with a huff. "But if Mundanes and Spellcasters have one thing in common, it's wanting to understand the world around us, I guess." He muses, looking around the shop. "But it didn't sound like your doctor was shocked." #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Aiden blushes, embarrassed. In his defense the only other Spellcaster he's met is Elsie. It's hard to gauge by her. "Sorry. This has all just been a lot to take in. I didn't even know Spellcasters could be identified genetically." #lyonslegacy 1100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Wyatt smiles calmly and nods. "Same here. Colby's told me a little about you. This is a nice place. Very welcoming. A good energy." He glances at Aiden, recognizing the look on his face. "No, I don't mean in a magical way." #lyonslegacy 1130
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026"I'm Wyatt." The man says with no preamble. "Sorry for stopping by here. Colby said I might find you here." He explains simply as he watches the younger man. "Oh!" Aiden's surprised, though he's not sure what he expected. "Yeah, no problem. Nice to meet you." #lyonslegacy 0110
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Stepping around the divider, Aiden is a bit surprised when he sees the other man. White hair, pale skin, and the craziest blue eyes he's ever seen. "Hi! I'm Aiden, what brought you in today?" He asks in the tone he uses with customers. #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 24/09/2026When Wyatt arrives, it isn't at their home, it's at the tattoo shop. Aiden is just finishing sanitizing his equipment and bed when the door opens. "Hello, come on in, I'll be there in one second!" He calls as he removes his gloves and throws them away. #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Thanks for reading!! RL trapped me this weekend, so my updates will be a little out of my regular time. Planning on another for tomorrow. Wyatt arrives! Hope you all enjoyed! 170
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Nothing is resolved yet, Aiden and Jake still too crushed to get their hopes up just yet, but right now Jake is more concerned with figuring out if Aiden is ok. They'll have to wait for this Wyatt to arrive, before they can think too far into the future. #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Yikes. Is that normal?" Jake asks, looking a lot younger than his 28 years. Colby chuckles and shakes his head. "Hell if I know. Doubt it. Blame it on Chase's good genes." No reason to tell them werewolves exist too, Colby figures. Keep it simple and keep them focused, for now. #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Oh. Right. That makes sense." Aiden agrees, sheepish. "That's amazing. Being pregnant is hard. Was he pregnant five times?" Jake asks incredulously as he looks at Colby. "Nah, just twice. Twins and Triplets." Colby explains, shrugging. #lyonslegacy 190
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I can't believe there is magic for that." Aiden admits, still looking shocked. "Like you were told, kid. Magic and science don't mix. So they gotta figure out ways to do stuff normal people do with science. They got magic for all kinda stuff." To Colby it seems obvious. #lyonslegacy 0110
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Aiden is almost afraid to ask and he winces a little before he does. "How did he.. give birth?" He knows enough to know men do not have the right equipment for that. Colby snorts in an attempt not to laugh. "C-section. Of course. They got five kids now, so it seems to have worked." #lyonslegacy 170
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"When he and Chase started gettin' serious, they ran into the same problem as you. They wanted kids. Don't know the details, but Wyatt cast a spell on himself, let him get pregnant n' carry the kids." The look of surprised on Aiden and Jake's face is worth giving the information. #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"He's from an old Spellcaster family, but Wyatt's a bit different. He's what's called a Mooncaster. He's strongest at night. The idea is they pull their power from the moon, but never been quite sure I believed that." Colby explains, looking out a window. #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Can you tell us anything else about Wyatt?" Aiden asks, not responding to Jake yet, not wanting to get his hopes back up. Colby thinks. "Not a lot. I haven't known him for very long." He explains, tilting his head slightly. "But I'll tell you what I can." #lyonslegacy 160
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Don't worry about it. Wyatt will be here tomorrow afternoon. Focus on that first." Colby insists with a single nod, watching the two closely. Jake looks at Aiden, serious but not tense. "Yeah. That's a good idea. See, we'll figure it out, babe." He reassures his husband. #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Jake frowns. "Weird feeling?" He prompts, concerned but trusting Colby. "Mm. Like it's somethin' I've seen. But I can't remember. Derrick felt it too. Figure that's why he's comin'. Could be nothin', but I've learned where there's smoke, there's fire." Colby explains with a sigh. #lyonslegacy 070
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Like what?" Aiden asks, mind turning away from guests to focus on this information. Scratching his jaw, Colby tries to decide what to say. "Well, it's also possible someone did something TO you. Dunno what, but I've got a weird feelin'." He explains, still unsettled by it. #lyonslegacy 060
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Only thing he said was the info was too vague for him to know. He has to see Aiden in person. Feel him out, so to speak." Colby sighs and looks more serious, if possible. "I'll be straight, there're more reason than just Spellcaster heritage why he might have magic in his cells." #lyonslegacy 080
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Colby shakes his head, leaning up against the fireplace. "Don't worry about that. Wyatt's pretty laid back. Doubt it will matter much to him." He reassures as he glances between the two again. "Is there anything else he said?" Jake asks, more concerned about Aiden than anything. #lyonslegacy 070
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Aiden, who had been processing until now, speaks up. "Of course. If he's traveling here just to help me, it's the least we can do. We have a folding bed, I hope that's ok with him." He's a little concerned since they haven't ever really had stay-over guests since they moved. #lyonslegacy 1100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"There's a chance. 'Least he might be able to tell you if you got Spellcaster blood." Colby agrees with a small nod. "Derrick an' his pack're stayin' with me. But that's a full house. Told Wyatt I'd ask if he could stay here with you." #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Wyatt is a Spellcaster, you see, but said he can't be sure if he can help 'til he can get a look at you, Aiden. See what he can see." Colby concludes, falling silent to let that sink in. "There's a chance he can help, then." Jake speaks up first, eager and hopeful. #lyonslegacy 070
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Derrick, his wife and kids are comin'. They don't think they can do much, but they'd want to help if they can. My friend Chase's husband, Wyatt, is also comin'. He might actually be able to help." Colby explains, looking between the two serious looking young men. 070
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"I'm good standing, if that's alright with you." Colby decides, since he wants to be able to comfortably look at the couple. "I'll get right to it. No use beatin' around the bush. Got a couple people comin' that might be able to help. Might." He stresses the last word firmly. #lyonslegacy 070
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/2026"Morning, Colby. Come in." Jake steps back and closes the door behind the man before leading him into the livingroom where Aiden is waiting. "Have a seat." He offers, motioning to the various seating options. #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 22/09/202648 hours later, Colby is in front of Jake and Aiden's door. He hasn't been here since helping them move in, so he hasn't seen it properly set up. Wincing a little at how loud his knock sounds, the older man is relieved when Jake comes to the door a minute later with a tired smile. #lyonslegacy 070
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Thank you for reading!! I know this is a weird posting time for me, but I have this week off for vacation. I'm going to try and get an extra post out this week for you all since I was MIA for a couple weeks. Hope you enjoy this short update! 3121
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The calls went quicker and smoother than expected. It'll probably be a relief for Jake and Aiden to have some sort of answers. Still, Colby will wait to see if he hears back from Derrick before getting in touch with them. Just so he can give them all the information at once. #lyonslegacy 0130
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026"Sure thing. And hey-thanks. This means a lot, and if somethin' is going on, best to know." Colby is still suspicious, but that might just be old paranoia. "If I can help, I will, no guarantees." Wyatt warns. "Got it. Talk to you later." Colby hangs up and thinks. #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Wyatt chuckles, "No problem. I'll need some time to make arrangements on my end. Let Chase know where I can stay and I'll let you know when I can fly out." It sounds so matter-of-fact coming from him. He's never been one to beat around the bush afterall. #lyonslegacy 0100
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Colby hears a muffled "What??" come through the phone but Wyatt seems to be ignoring it for the moment. "Well, you can stay with me if you don't mind the kids, or I think Jake's got a spare bedroom, but I gotta clear it with him, a'course." Colby explains, thinking about the house. #lyonslegacy 0130
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026"You gonna bring Chase and the pack of kids you got?" Colby jokes in amusement as he thinks about it. Five kids is a lot to pack up. Wyatt scoffs. "Watcher, no. I'll leave Chase with the kids. Or they can go to my father's and have some quality time with Grandpa and Great-Grandma." #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026"Well, that's all I got, what do you recommend?" Colby asks curiously, appreciating that the Mooncaster has always been straightforward. The answers is easy and obvious. "I have to see him. Talk to him. I know a few spells that might help me figure it out." Wyatt explains simply. #lyonslegacy 090
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026"Hello, Colby, it's been a while." Wyatt comes on the line after a minute of silence and murmured conversation. "Chase filled me in. I can't tell you what might be going on with Aiden with so little information." Straight forward and laid back as ever, Wyatt cuts right to the chase. #lyonslegacy 0110
Pakmai @pakmai.bsky.social · 07/09/2026"Not trouble exactly." Colby fills Chase in as he walks back to his house, listening for the kids but Wyatt must have gotten the triplets down for a nap. Bless him. "I get it. I just walked in my door, hold on a sec and I'll get Wyatt." Chase decides, glancing around for his husband. #lyonslegacy 1120
