"Umm, I left them here so I think they are probably gone" Kris said.
"To where?" Athena asked with a scared voice while Kris shrugged her shoulder.
"And how am I supposed to know that? was I not with you?" Kris responded and immediately Mezie waved at them close to the gate.
"Athena...! hey!" Mezie screamed as their eyes captured him standing with some girls around him, so Kris and Athena quickly reached out to him.
"Mezie, I think you should always stick with Kris! and stop moving around on your own because you don't know this place yet!" Athena said to him and then stared at Ver and Sylvie who equally stares at her.
Then Athena gazed at the entrance of the gate wondering why they are standing beside the gate when Kris said she left them at the other side.
Athena understood immediately that they are trying to trick Mezie and take him away, it was remaining for them to take Mezie out of the compound and boom! they are gone with him.
Looking at that exit entrance Athena already understood what's in their mind as she stares at them somehow.
"Mezie... where are you going to with them?" Athena asked and Mezie did not answer that question but instead went ahead to introduce them.
"Um... here is my cousin sis, Ver and her friend, I don't know that one" Mezie said pointing at Sylvie.
"And Ver, here is my best friend Kris and meet my... um... meet Athena, Athena meet my cousin" Mezie said as Ver faked a smile and brought her hand forward for a handshake.
And without hesitating Athena shook her "Nice meeting you Athena" Ver said as they shook each other and then Athena shook Sylvie.
But during that moment of her handshake with Sylvie, Athena knew that they have another witch in their presence.
"Nice meeting you Athena" Sylvie said faking up a smile and so Athena faked up her smile too.
"It's nice meeting the both of you" Athena replied as Kris bring her hand forward.
"Yeah, so nice meeting the both of you too" She said and shook with Ver and was about to shake with Sylvie but Athena stopped her because she noticed something fishy about her.
And she didn't do it in a way she will be suspected just immediately Kris was trying to shake her Athena drag her hand away as Sylvie and Ver stares at each other while Athena smiled at Kris.
"Kris, I think we are forgetting something, you should go deliver the message your dad sent you and then you can come along, Alright go!" Athena said as she taps Kris gently on her and Kris equally agreed without hesitating.
"Okay, I will be right back shortly" Kris said and left their presence.
"Alright Ver, I know that you will be very hungry at this moment, you and your friend have come a long way looking for me so I should get you something to eat! come on, come with me" Mezie said as Ver faked a smile and agreed even though she never wanted that but she doesn't want Athena to suspect them.
"Okay..." Ver agreed as she and Sylvie stares at themselves secretly while Athena was silently watching.
"Okay, come along" Mezie said as he began to take them to Mazi's little tower and Athena was just walking behind them with Mezie's sword in her hand.

Ver and Sylvie was already offered a seat by Mezie and they were sitting while it was left for Mezie to serve them food but Mezie was so confused at the kitchen.
He doesn't know anything about kitchen so he was just looking and turning up and down in the kitchen and at the other hand Athena don't want to help because she insist on delaying Ver and Sylvie the more in other to know what they have come for.
"Am here...! you guys left me just a few minutes of me being away, but I told you guys that I will be right back very soon huh?" Kris voice sounded as she stepped into the house.
"Am sorry baby girl" Ver said as Kris spotted Mezie struggling at the kitchen and she didn't wait for any instruction to understand that he needs help.
So she quickly enter the kitchen and took charge and began to cook the food by herself without even minding Mezie or waiting for his approval which made him look totally useless inside the kitchen.
After watching Kris doing the job for a few minutes Mezie left the kitchen and stepped back to the table and joined his sister which Athena didn't waste time to sit among them too.
Because it's already night so all of them needed to eat there dinner and have their sleep, so after cooking Kris served all of them and equally took hers and joined the table.
"Don't tell me you are the one that made this?" Sylvie asked referring to Mezie while Kris interrupted immediately.
"What question is that? of course, he did not cook the food because he was here with you guys...! come on take a look at him"
"He is just someone that doesn't know anything, he couldn't even help me carry a bucket of ale to the pub" Kris said as Mezie interrupted.
"Excuse me! are you just going embarrass me in front of my sisters?" Mezie asked as Kris keeps down her spoon.
"Yes? and was all that which I said not what you did?" Kris asked while Ver interrupted immediately.
"Come on, it's okay! is fine whosoever that made the food, I know you did Kris and that's so nice of you I mean you have good capabilities in the kitchen!"
"I am so glad to eat your meal, it's delicious, I will be the happiest person on Earth if I can be having this kind of meal every blessed day" Sylvie said as Kris smiled and looks at Mezie making him look so jealous.
"Wow! did you hear that? I am the one she is praising! I am the one! oh thank you Sylvie" Kris said as Sylvie smiled and stares at Ver.
And at the same time Athena was just reading and capturing everything that is going on and that's why she is not discussing with them since she discovered that they have a magician in their midst which is Sylvie.
So Athena knew that something must try to go in chaos within the presence of Sylvie, so she kept trying to be careful and protective of her and her friends Kris and Mezie.

QUEENS-PACK.
"Good night mother, I think I should be on my bed now" Princess Isla said to her mum as they were standing at the fourth floor of their building having a discussion.
Queen Minerva it's already done addressing her warriors so she needed to console her daughter also even though she doesn't have such idea that lady Sif was that much important to her daughter.
And so that's what she is doing now, consoling her daughter.
"It's okay Isla, you are free to go to bed now but promise me that you won't spend much of your time thinking about Sif" Queen Minerva said to her as she nods.
"I promise you that mother" Isla responded as she hugs her mum and then set off to her room.

Getting to her room, Veronica was already there at her door waiting for her arrival.
"Veronica? what are you doing at my entrance? does my mum have the idea that you are here?" Isla asked as Veronica approached her gently.
"And do I need permission before I can come and make my princess comfortable? when I know that she is already feeling lonely... missing someone so dearly to her" Veronica said as she placed her hand on Isla's neck.
"Am here to make you feel comfortable and make you have a beautiful night my princess" Veronica said as Isla kept staring at her and immediately Isla crossed her hand on Veronica's neck as they began to kiss each other hungrily.
And so Veronica lifted Isla off the ground and took her inside the room and directly to the bed where Isla turned her around and become the one at the top as they continue kissing and then taking off their clothes.

SELDOM.
"So you guys mean you came this town looking for Mezie?" Athena asked Ver as they are already done eating their meal and now having a normal conversation among themselves. 
But Mezie and Kris wasn't around the table, they are obviously sent to get something from the pub.
"Yeah, We came a long way to pick him because it's my duty to take care of him now that his mother is no more, he probably has no other family left so that's why I have come for him" Ver responded as Athena nodded.
"Well, I am his family now and I think he is good here because this is where his mother sent him to and besides he has me to guard him" Athena responded as Ver and Sylvie stared at themselves.
"No, he is not good here and he is my brother and I have to take him with me, you cannot take care of him the way her mother wanted it to" Ver responded as Athena smirks.
"And, if you cared so much the way you are claiming to be then where were you when his mother sent him to this place?"
"Where was you at that time they needed you, I think if you were around and have cared as much as you claimed his mother would have probably leave him for you not send him here but she didn't" Athena said as Sylvie interrupted with a loud voice.
"And who are you to make decisions for us, why are you questioning us?!" Sylvie said.
"Because I'm better than that person you think you are, witch..." Athena yelled back at her making her to stare at Ver as the both of them wonders how Athena get to know that Sylvie is a sorcerer.
"Surprise? please don't be... and I just want to make it clear for the both of you that you are not taking him anywhere not until you explain to me why you have come for him, where you are from and what you needed him for and if I find it positive, he can go with you" Athena said as Ver smiled and moved her face close to Athena and hits the table gently.
And then stares at the cup of ale on the table as she picked it up and drank it all and threw away the cup.
"Listen to me, Mrs Athena, we have come to take that boy home and there's nothing you are going to do to stop us! there is nothing you can do" Ver dare as Athena smiled at them.
"Then I believe that you have no idea what it means when I say no? so I strongly tell you that you are not getting away with him" Athena responded with a deep slow voice while she was waving her head.
"Then I dare you to watch us" Sylvie threatened.
