" I don't understand. Tell me what is the problem with my father? You said he did something to me. What did he do? Uncle Kilian has been lying to me all along. I thought things were starting to be different when I found my father, but you are telling me that even he is keeping secrets.
I don't know whom to trust and whom not to trust anymore. "
Mira held a bunch of her hair in her hand and sat down on the floor.
A certain portion of her aura escaped despite the shield that Guardian Yvonne had put around her.
" Mira! Calm down! It's not like I know the full story. Azura, quickly get done with the masking! Braze yelled as the Jinn quickly got to work.
" Done! " No sooner had Azura uttered those words when they turned their heads at approaching footsteps.
" I told you , she would be here. " It was Guardian Yvonne, accompanied by Mira's father.
Braze immediately came in front of Mira with his hands stretched out in defense.
" Guardian Yvonne, I do trust you. But what is that man doing here? If he takes another step towards Mira, I will not hesitate to blast his head off. "
Braze saw Calex scoff at his remark.
" It's not what it looks like Braze. Things have changed. Calex has been purged of the Darkness. He no longer is the Dark Lord."
" Hell no! He will always be the Dark Lord for me, duh! Oops! I am sorry ... He will always be my Lord. " Layla chirped from behind , spiking Braze's alarm a hundred fold.
" Shit! Why is this creature also here? Guardian Yvonne, we thought you were on our side. But you sold Mira. You sold our trust! "
" Braze, you don't understand. I am telling you Calex is not the villain we should be concerned about. It was Kilian. Has always been.
It started long before Mira was born. Now it's become all about her.
He knows the reality.
He is not going to let Mira go after learning who she really is and who she stands for. "
Guardian Yvonne tried to take tiny steps towards Braze while trying to explain everything.
" Stay away! " Braze let out a thundering roar. " Azura! Where the hell did you go? Keep them away from Mira. Who told you to disappear? "
Azura did not show up but Guardian Yvonne stopped in his tracks.
" You brought a jinn on this planet? Braze! What have you done? "
He looked more alarmed and concerned than Braze.
It made Mira step forward, pushing Bride's hands down.
" What's happening around me? Am I the one going crazy? "
" No! Mira! It's perfectly fine to get confused, especially with your memory loss. But hang on dear girl. Let me get this mess sorted.Stupid boy, wasn't your father the one in control of that badass? Why are you here with him? "
Guardian Yvonne's voice became stern and aggressive.
" He asked me to get his lamp so he would be able to bring me where Mira was! I don't know where he took off... " Braze looked around.
The lamp? Where is the lamp? " Guardian Yvonne was up on top of Braze.
" I don't know. I think it got lost when we landed on earth. " Braze could finally sense that Azura had outsmarted him somehow.
" Foolish lad! Do you even know what you have done? You unleashed an invasive species on this planet. Jinns can be very notorious unless tamed. That one was their leader. Your forefathers took him captive when they drove their fleet away and prevented them from entering Chemora.
Now he tricked you into releasing him and he will try to build an empire on earth. "
Guardian Yvonne looked furious as Layla laughed in the back.
Suddenly Guardian Yvonne's phone started to ring.
He glanced at the phone and looked at Braze.
" It must have started. Rozelle is called me. Poor girl doesn't even have any peace in retirement. She has a paralyzed boyfriend to look after. The one who gave up his everything trying to help you people. Did you ever wonder why? "
The reference to Robert made Layla mellow down a little.
" Hello! '' Rozelle painted from the other side. " What's up with the high alerts everywhere? It's not for Chemorians though. I hijacked their radar. What's going on? "
" Mira and the boys are here but ... " Guardian Yvonne replied.
" But what? " Rozelle yelled from the other end.
" But they brought along a fury of the jinns. I think the Watchers will be looking for you soon. They will need help dealing with this influx. AI will never be good enough. "
" Rozelle, where is Robert? " Layla suddenly snatched the phone away from him.
" Layla? What's Yvonne doing hanging around with a Gala? " Rozelle scoffed.
" Just tell me where he is. I might have a little wedding present for you two. Just so you don't miss out on your wedding night "
Layla smirked.
" I am just trying to give back what I took from him. All I did was for my tribe. I wanted to bring my people back from exile just like everyone else.
I created a lot of things from his blood. An anecdote to his condition is one of them. Thank me later when you push out a couple of babies or two. "
Layla tossed the phone back to Guardian Yvonne and waved bye bye at Mira.
" Seems like the Watchers on earth will be very busy for a while. I leave the rest up to you.
See you again later. "
She kissed Calex's feet and took off.
The gravity of the situation was just starting to dawn upon Braze.
" What have I done! " He murmured as Guardian Yvonne walked around and held Mira's shaming hands.
" It's alright Braze. Let's get back to my place. We can figure something out. " He said.
Braze looked at Yvonne and then at Calex.
He could see that his features had drastically changed. He had mellowed down and looked broken and there was a subtle softness around his eyes.
