0000 AVONMORA AWAKENING (Part Two) 0000

Micheal quickly made his wings to enter his back, it is probably his wings that his granddaughter and daughter saw which prompted them to call him a bird.

"Point of correction, I am an Angel and this Angel has a name." Micheal started to say when his wings was out of sight.

"That's none of my business boofhead and you are trying to change the topic here." Avonmora said and crossed her arms. "Who is the lady that this pea-brain here got pregnant?" She demanded.

"Well if you haven't called me a birdbrain you might have gotten your answer." Micheal told his daughter crossing his arms like she did and staring at her like the way she is staring at him.

Selena smiled fully knowing what is coming to Micheal. She couldn't tell her daughter yet who the birdbrain is to her.

"Did I tell you to answer my question for me twerp?" Michael closed his open mouth, his daughter calling of name is far worse than his granddaughter. "Anyway no need of talking to you tomfool, I was talking to the rest of the inhabits here." Avonmora said.

"He is trying to tell you that you are mistaking the whole thing here." This time around, Lillian said.

Avonmora turned to her direction and widen her eyes when she saw Lillian. "Lillian? I didn't know came with them."

"Yes I did, if you weren't busy insulting Tharollin and the other man you would have noticed my presence."

Avonmora just smiled. "My hair was covering my left eye so I didn't see you Lillian, sorry about that." She said and remember what Lillian had omitted out. "Hold a minute, you said I was mistaking the whole thing?" She asked and at Lillian's nod she continues. "How? Reon just said this simpleton daughter and her cohorts are causing trouble. Which means he has an affair with another woman after making me sleep for...how years now Lillian?" "More than 1,000 years, but the daughter Roen is talking about is the one I helped you keep." Lillian answered.

Tharollin eyes quickly left Avonmora and shot towards Lillian. "What did you say!" Tharollin and Avonmora both exclaimed loudly together.

"Rae is with Lucifer and Tamara's mate as we speak. I don't know how Lucifer gets to control Rae to do this bidding but he said he lure her into donating her blood to him. Now he made Rae poison our drinks which makes us grow weaker, killing us slowly, his other cohort took away my wife and Lucifer ordered the Amazon Warriors to throw I and Lillian in the palace dungeon. I don't know how my son and his friend, jorkallun are coping right now because we left them in the banquet room when they drag us away to the dungeon." Roen explained sadly.

"Lillian, my baby is a girl?"

"Yes Avonmora, it is a girl and I gave her the name you want me to give her, Rae." Lillian answered softly.

"And Roen you now have a son?" Avonmora asked looking at Roen.

"Yes Avonmora, a lot have happened when you were frozen. My son and your daughter are soulmates and i think they seal their bond on the night of the full moon a few days ago." Reon answered her. "She poisoned all of us, your mother was able to remove the poison from us." He added.

"So Rae is with Lucifer and she is being controlled by him?" Tharollin inquired trying to understand what Roen is saying.

"Yes Tharollin."

"Lucifer has my daughter? No, it can't be." Tharollin said. "I will be back." He added and transformed into his dark smoke and disperse.

"I hope what I am hearing is wrong." Avonmora said after a while Tharollin disappeared. She went back to sit in the bed. "I haven't seen my daughter in years, I don't even know what she looks like." She added sadly.

"Let's say she is half of you and Tharollin." Lillian said.

"If anything happens to Rae they will have me to contend with."

"With what strength are you going to use and fight them Avonmora?" Selena said. "You forgot that you are a healer just like me and not a fighter like your aunt Lydia."

"And who said I will be the one to fight them mother? I have Tharollin, I will only do the talking and he will use his fist."

Selena laughed at that. "Don't worry, everything will be okay."

"I know mother, so what did i miss during my time in the frozen world?"

"A lot, first of all Tamara lied about the gods, she used their name to carried out her crimes. She lied about the gods ordering the king to kill all the Mer-clan people and you because of the gate which was opened by Tharollin, she took your soul and freeze you at the Gate of Darkness. Later on, Tharollin came out of the gate of Darkness and met Rae, he knew she was his daughter and threatened me, I had to spill the beans and told him the truth. He has been there for Rae and even told me to remove the spell I had placed on her to conceal her true identity that shows she is you and Tharollin child. But Rae couldn't yet so he respected her wish. The wolf festival came and I told everyone present the secret of Rae because I discovered my sister has been lying and that Sarah here who is Lydia daughter and Jorkallun soulmate is also a mermaid. She wanted to use Rae for sacrifice as you know, the one who would sacrifice her life is Roen's son who is a Tribrid. He and your daughter are soulmates." Lillian finished her long time explanation.

"So I was frozen for over nothing and my people killed?"

"It doesn't end there yet. When Tharollin found out Rae is his daughter, he went to confront Tamara and his father, I think he saw your soul with his father and took it and he return your soul back to you. If not, you wouldn't be awake right now. He has been here with you ever since then and couldn't leave you not Rae alone until Rae told him to stay fully with you until you wake up. He has been worried you won't forgive him for the pain he had cost you." Lillian further explain. "So hard to take in but I won't forgive him so easily." Avonmora said. "What else are you keeping away from me?"

"The Angel is your father and he was the one who had unfreeze you at the gate of Darkness and with Tharollin help made you come back." Lydia answered her question.

Avonmora turned to look at the man who she had insulted and called names, she smiled at him. "I hope you didn't take what I said at heart pillock, oops I mean Angel?"

"Not at all." Micheal replied with a little smile. "And this anigel also has a name, Micheal. My name is Michael not Angel." He said. "For now." He whispered to himself that only him could hear it.

"Okay Michael, I am sorry if my insult got to you, don't take it at heart, Tharollin never takes my insult at heart."

Micheal nodded his head. "So what is our next step?"

"Our next step is to wait for Tharollin to return wherever he went too." Selena spoke avoiding Micheal's eyes. "While we wait for the king to arrive, I need a bath and a change of clothes." Avonmora said getting up to feet.

"I can help with that, come on, follow me." Lydia said.

"Thank you auntie." Avonmora said going over to meet her. They started to walk away when Sarah's voice stopped them.

"I am coming too." Sarah voice was heard as she hurried to meet the two women.

"Roen are you not also coming?" Avonmora asked turning to face Roen who understand her look.

"Of course I am coming, I also need a change of clothes." He said and followed them, leaving Selena and Michael alone.

"Selena, I am sorry." Micheal began slowly. "I know I hurt you in the past, I am so sorry, please replace it in your heart to forgive me." He added.

"What you did to me years back is unforgivable Micheal. I wish I had never met you in the first place." Selena said.

"I also wish I had never accepted his proposal that very day Selena. I came back looking for you after we left to explain things to you but I couldn't replace you. I searched for you for days until Lydia told me you have been banished. I cried Selena, I cried but I couldn't reverse the hands of time. I did wrong I admit and I am sorry for that. I made your father banished you. I am so sorry, please forgive me." Micheal said walking slowly towards Selena as he speaks.

"You broke my heart Micheal when you choose me over power. I was hurt from the pain you caused me. I am sorry but I have moved on. Forget about me as I have done to you. The only ties we have right now is Avonmora." Selena said, it broke her heart when she said that.

"I won't give up on you Selena." Micheal said finally reaching her side and holding her shoulders. "I have changed, I don't need any power anymore, my brother can have it for all I care. What I want is you, please give me a chance, just one more chance to set things right."

"If I told you I was with your child back then, would you have stayed? Would you Micheal?" Selena asked waiting for his answers.

"No." Micheal admitted, Selena smiled briefly, that is what she admires in Micheal, he speaks the truth. "I would have still followed my brother to protect my child and you with your people. He came prepared and the mer-folks weren't ready for a battle, I have to make a decision before it could turn more bloody." He added.

"And now?"

"And now? I want to be with you and my daughter, with everyone here. I disobey my brother and came down here to search for you but I couldn't see you, even Lydia couldn't replace you. It was as if you vanished and don't want to be seen. I love you Selena even after so many years, the love I have for you is still there in my heart. I love you, please don't push me away." Micheal said.

"Micheal, it's very hard to forgive one who hurts you and I don't know if I can ever forgiv-" Selena didn't get to finish her words as Micheal sealed her remaining words with his lips.

Selena tried to fight the feelings trying to emerged from where she had buried them but she replace out she couldn't. She didn't know when she returned the kiss too.

The kiss was so intense and filled with passion, desire and love mostly from Michael.

Selena moaned into the kiss as Micheal hands draw her closer into his body.

The lack of air force them apart as they breathed hard staring into each other's eyes.

"I love you Selena, from now till eternity." Micheal whispered softly. She belongs to no other man than him and he is going to prove it to her. Selena wet her lips with her tongue and Micheal couldn't take his eyes off it, he quickly capture Selena's lips, kissing her like a man possessed.

Jorkallun Journey:

CHALLENGE NUMBER ONE:

Jorkallun was surrounded by a bright light which force him to close his eyes. When he couldn't feel the string in his closed eyelids, he opened it and saw himself in an open field which has nothing in it. He looks around him, lost and didn't know which direction to go. The air around him was thick and harsh.

Looking down at his hand, he knows he has to keep the crystals safe until he gets to the cave of the crystal and plant it.

He removed the bobble (hair band) he used in tying his long red hair. There is a hidden hole he made in it, he placed all eight of the tiny crystals in the hidden hole. Holding his hair once again, he repacked it into his ponytail and decided to take the right side of the field.

The air was heavy and humid, just walking through the field he could feel the moisture clinging to his clothes. It felt thick as he breathed it in, coating the inside of his throat.

For how long he walked, Jorkallun couldn't tell, he continued walking until he came to a bridge. In the bridge stood a man about 2'3 inches of height. He was a dwarf, he was so unkempt, his black hair was filled with dirt and when he smiled at Jorkallun which exposed his crooked teeth, Jorkallun know he was full of trouble.

Looking up at the sky, he could see it was getting dark so he greeted the dwarf. "Good evening sir." And made to past the other side which the dwarf wasn't blocking.

"You cannot cross the bridge until I say so, unless you want to die." The dwarf man told him and that stopped jorkallun.

"And why can't I cross the bridge if I may ask?"

The dwarf man smiled. "Is your quest worth it?" He asked.

"Yes sir, it does." Jorkallun answered him.

"Would he have done the same for you if it was you lying down dead?" He asked again.

"Yes he would." Jorkallun answered without hesitation.

"Is that so? Then what is this?" The dwarf man said and wave his hands to the air, and Jorkallun saw a picture of himself lying down dead and seeing Jason talking to the keepers of the Lake, he laughed at what they told him and fling away the tiny crystal and left their presence. The picture faded and he blinked his eyes. "You see that is what he would have done if you were lying in his position."

"Then why did he engage your first love and stabbed you in your back?"

"It was a misunderstanding and I am in love with someone else."

"Don't you think the sisters are lying to you about planting the crystal. The crystal cave does not exist, they sent you here so you will die." The dwarf said.

"Queen Jasmine wouldn't have sent me here if her sisters are lying. Now if you are done with your cheap excuses filled with lies, I will like to cross this bridge and continue my journey."

"I see you have set your heart on this quest of yours." The dwarf said and nodded his head. "You may pass."

"Thank you sir." Jorkallun thanked and entered the bridge.

"Remember jorkallun, this is just the beginning of your journey, there will be seven more challenging in front of you and I wish you luck." The dwarf man said and disappeared. Crossing the bridge finally, Jorkallun continue his journey.

Lucifer Cave:

Tharollin had first wanted to head straight to Roen's Palace but kicked against it and followed his instincts, he went to the cave the water man lives and a new strong scent filled the air around him. He changed into his human form and entered the cave.

He was surprised to see a man sitting down where the water man do sit and Rae sat on his lap.

"Tharollin so good to see you again."

"Who are you and where is my father?" Tharollin demanded. "What is my daughter doing here?"

"One question at a time Tharollin. The man you know as your father is dead, though he is not your father holy one. As for who I am, I am the real Lucifer who was caged for so many years by the Creator. You brought the bones to Gai but you gave him a wrong bone. Where is the bone Tharollin? Give me the bone to free me completely."

"You still haven't answer my last question. "What is my daughter doing here?"

"She is my companion Tharollin."

"I am taking her from you. Rae get up from his stinking lap and let's get out of here." Tharollin said and was surprised when Rae paid deaf ears to him.

Lucifer laughter brought Tharollin attention to him. "She won't obey you Tharollin." He said and to prove his point. "Rae my love, stand up." Rae stood up from his lap and Lucifer stood up to his feet. Walking towards Tharollin, stopping a few feet away from him.

"She can't obey you or do as you say unless I tell her."

"Then I will end your miserable life."

"You still do not get it don't you Tharollin." Lucifer said and made a knife in a dark smoke form appeared in his hands and with it he cut his other arm.

Rae clutch her arm and Tharollin eyes widened when he saw her arm bleeding from exactly where Lucifer had cut his own arm.

"If I am injured, Rae gets injured. If I bleed, she bleeds too. Whatever pain I go through, she goes through it. If I die, Rae dies too. So Tharollin before the game started, I have seen how it will end, now the bone or you watch your daughter bleed to her death."
