Keepers

Keepers are in touch with the five elements. Air. Earth. Fire. Water. Spirit. They maintain Mother Earth's environmental balance through their manipulation of their specific element.

Ethan Clark (The Shimmering Flame

At last, I know who I am. Throughout my life, stories have been handed down in our family about our mysterious past. The mystery went beyond our longevity and healing abilities. It went beyond our talent with music and words.

Then I met Brigid. My bright love. And, it was then I remembered who I am - - and who she was.

I'm an Irish Terran Singer. Through my use of words and music, I can control and cause harm to humans and Terrans. I'm also an Air Keeper. If I will it so, I can cast my song through the motes of dust that dance in the air and destroy those who hear it. But that is not who I really am. My power has always been used to protect and defend the ancient people of Ireland - - Terran and human alike. With my harp Ceol Mhor, I destroyed the creatures raised by Nimhnach hundreds of years ago, protected Dagda, Brigid's father.

It was in the far distant past that I lost Brigid, my love, but now that I have found her again, how can I share her with another? But I must put aside my desire to retake Brigid for my own. A greater challenge has presented itself. I must join forces with the very man who is wed to my love and go up against an evil I remember well from my past. An evil I had hoped had been destroyed long ago. This time I will not fail.


Claire Galliardi (Redemption)

Hello, I’m Claire Galliardi, a Spirit Keeper. Over the years, I’ve been witness to a remarkable transformation of the Terran spirit. I’'m old now, but I’ve seen how it was…and what our glorious world has become, warts and all. I am the official recordkeeper of KOTE (Keepers of the Environment) or a glorified librarian and archivist, if you will.

I will be asking questions of the Terrans you meet and recording their answers for future generations so that they might learn from our triumphs—and mistakes.

I was there in 1989 when the Book of the Sorhineth came home and the first Spirit Talisman in centuries appeared to save the Terrans from themselves.


Mirabai Kashi (Measure of a Man)

When KOTE asked me to do undercover work for them, my first impulse was to turn them down. I had my practice, helping people with spiritual difficulties, and felt I was already doing my part as a Spirit Keeper.

Most of my human clients believe I’m a very specialized psychological therapist. They aren't aware of my true powers, my ability to re-align spiritual energies that have become imbalanced. I figured I was helping the world, person by person with my counseling, but Donavan Callahan approached me personally to recruit me to work for KOTE. He made me realize there were things happening on a much larger scale that I could help with.

I still keep my hand in, working with my individual clients, but now I may be called to travel to a ‘hot spot’ anywhere in the world. When the spiritual energies are out of balance, it can be manifested in physical ways in the world—wars, earthquakes, typhoons, mass genocide. Think of the world, and the spiritual realm, as a top that must be perfectly balanced to spin true. It wobbles and falls when the balance is off.


Brigid Kawsantower (The Shimmering Flame)

I am scared.

My whole world has been turned upside down. For the past fifteen years, I've been loved and protected by Gabe. He's supported me in everything. By profession, I am a teacher - - and I love my work. But now, I've found out that I'm not even human. I'm a Terran Water and Fire Keeper. Turns out, Gabe is a Terran, also, and a member of a group committed to protecting the world and all who dwell on it.

I also learned who my real father is and met a man who claims to be my lover centuries ago.

I wish we'd never made this trip to Ireland. But KOTE deciphered some entries in one of my ancestor's journals that demanded my return to Donegal at this particular time. Now, I am to fight a mad man just as I have learned what and who I am. I'm still learning how to channel my powers. How can I hope to battle someone as powerful as Nimhnach, or Lord Nolen as he calls himself? Do I even dare to attempt to refuse my destiny?
