Kay nodded, satisfied that Serena was telling her the truth. She walked out of the bathroom and headed to her room as she figured it would be the closest most private spot she could talk to Fee. Walking into her room, she shut the door and walked to the middle of the floor, sitting down cross legged. Taking in a deep breath she slowly exhaled to just relax herself as she closed her eyes. "okay..Fee, I need to talk with you, a proper conversation with no judgements" she quietly said out loud. "you wish to know about the bond?" "yes, I need to know how it happened and why. I know you know more than you've told me so far. I just want answers Fee." "I know enough to be able to give you a history lesson, but are you sure you wish to know without John near by? He deserves answers also"
"he does but I have a feeling he won't stop asking questions and I need all the facts first" "as you wish. For the best explanation, I have an idea. If you trust me to keep you safe as I always have, I wish to take you on a spectral mind walk as I explain" "do it" Kay simply said. With the permission granted, Fee helped Kay to open her mind and just let all background noise in the millhouse disappear. Her eyes opened, glowing the now recognisable golden orange colour, as Fee took control and Kay's mind was sent on a trip. She saw in her mind flashes of swirling flames forming what could be described as a tunnel or warp hole. Eventually it stopped and Kay could see in her mind a young phoenix female and a young male. She knew it wasn't her or John, but rather an ancestor. Her mother possibly?
"this is your mother, you are correct in assuming. Her first lover from her first life. Her first destined connection that brought the creation of the bond sigil that ties those who are meant to be together, together. The bond you have formed with John came about from an act of selflessness. Neither you nor I could have made it happen. Unlike the bonding spell that a mage can create when they feel open enough to connect to one on their own will. This one is a destined mark. Whether it'd be from when you healed him to the bink of your own life or if you sacrificed yourself completely save him. It would have happened. It can happen if the hellblazer did the same sacrificial act to you, but it seemed with you and John Constantine, it was meant to happen from your act. The bond seals you both together as equals. With the bond you can channel each other's intense emotions, find each other if one is lost among things. The fact it happened so early on, shows that your destined relationship is in the beginning stages of blossoming. With practice you both can tap into the power of that bond."
As Fee explained everything, Kay could witness the bonding process happen to her mother and first lover and it was truly beautiful. She could almost see how her mother's wings seemed to glow on the ends, a flaming circle wrapping round them and their wrists joining together as the bond travelled from her to her lover. In a strange manner it felt like a ceremony not that different to a marriage.
In the real world Josh looked back at his sister wondering how she would know book he would need to pick up, but did so on her suggestion, pulling it off the shelf and opening it. He went to start reading when Trish said what she did, "you wanna go see Serena is okay?" he asked her.
