“Ask her to forgive you, make her feel like the queen that she is. Lisa loves being treated like she owns the world, she loves to be worshipped and adorned with so much love and care.“ Ava explained.
“I haven't been doing that lately, that should be the reason she flared up for no reason. I hardly show her attention, recently. I am so dumb, I'm supposed to make my wife happy instead she is being insecure about me, I made her shed precious pearls. Now I understand what she feels.“The three-eyed monster uttered, he was emotional, even his evil self got touched, and he feels guilty.
“I don't know how to thank you, Ava. Thanks for making me realize my mistake on time. Give me a second, I need to go meet Lisa after that we can embark on our journey to Nicole's shank.“ The three-eyed monster chimed.
“No, don't bother. I will go myself. Go settle your home. It's a very easy task, though. Just to ask for your name and tell it to the dark Jinn. Easy-peasy!!“ Ava started with so much confidence in herself. The three-eyed monster got convinced.
“If you say so!“ The three eyed-monster commented.
“Oh, Dyrus came along?“ The three-eyed monster asked as he sights Dyrus through the window, Dyrus was wandering around the compound, on the mountain.
Dyrus was checking the gravestones on the mountain, he sighted over fifty generations buried on the mountain, “The house and mountain lived for decades, that explains the reason it looks creepy.“ Dyrus muttered to himself. He wonders how they got buried on the mountain as he continues scanning around.
“Yeah, he came along. I forgot I had a partner. He is more like a living dead.“ Ava blurted, and they both cackled.
“I will go beg my wife now, aren't you coming along?“ the three-eyed monster says as he stopped laughing.
“Nah, she might burst into tears if she sees us together. I will go out of this mansion through Dana's window.“ Ava suggested.
“Okay, bye. I wish to hear from you soon.“ The three-eyed monsters uttered as he waved goodbye at Ava, he walks away from the room, shutting the door.
Ava jumped out through Dana's room window before Dyrus. Dyrus got slightly startled, he jumped suddenly because of the sudden surprise.
“Where did you come from?“ Dyrus's breathless voice let out as he fell on the mountain brow, clutching his chest with both hands. He looked around him.
“Don't be a baby! We need to get to Nicole's shank right away.“ Ava ordered.
“Is that the reason you startled me? You almost killed me. I thought you were a risen ghost at first.“ Dyrus said laughing. He stopped laughing as he noticed Ava was glaring at him with a frown.
“Who is this Nicole? Your brother?“ Dyrus asked, curiously.
“He is the royal wizard of the ocean, he is older than the earth.“ Ava explained.
“Oh wow, I thought he was your lover, thank goodness he has no special relationship with you and he is old to date you, even. Let's go.“ Dyrus said as he called his golden wand, he stretches it at their front opening a portal.
They both walked into the portal holding arms. After they appeared before Nicole's shank, Dyrus let the portal disappear so as his golden wand.
Ava looked at the bright side, the blue sky above Nicole's shank, it has never been brighter like now, and a smile spreads on Ava's face, she knew Nicole is faring well with his lover, Aurora.
Ava jerked away from Dyrus as she noticed his fingers were locked in hers, she let go of his arm, staying away from him.
A young girl in her twenties was reading a book. The young girl noticed their presence, she shuts her book and walks up to them to greet them. The young girl has brown hair with brown eyes. Her look was so unique, she looks natural.
“Hi, who are you?“ The young girl asked.
“How dare you ask…?“ Dyrus raised his voice.
“Hmm… my dear, we are here to see Nicole.“ Ava interrupted him. Dyrus's voice was rejected by Ava.
He was hurt, and Ava is hurting his ego. Dyrus's face was contorted with rage, he was so angry that he was deaf to what the outside world was saying. His inner, angry voice kept on yelling.“Who did she think she is to interrupt my statement in the presence of a young girl that can be my daughter? She thinks so much of herself these days.“Dyrus squints his eyes at Ava.
“Who are you, if I may ask?“ The young girl questioned. Ava looked at Zoey from the hair of her head to the sole of her feet, she was astonished when she sighted the book of the living with the young girl. Ava wanted to talk about the book but she then remembers she has a task, that she can discuss later.
“I am Ava and this is Dyrus, my partner.“ Ava introduces herself and Dyrus.
Dyrus's heart shatters, “I'm the father of your grown-up boys, yet she calls me partner. Don't I deserve to be called your husband, again?“ Dyrus asks as he folds his arms on his chest.
“Oh, you should be the Ava my Aurora always talk about. I am Zoey.“ Zoey said as she stretches her hand for a handshake.
Ava shakes her hand, with a glamorous smile on her face. Ava recollects Zoey, the baby she once saved when she lived on an island with Aurora and Ashley. Zoey is the baby that was placed in a drum with the book of the living which has an eye drawn on it. Ashley murdered Zoey's parents because she wanted to rule over the world. Now, Ashley is in the place where she is supposed to be.
“Congrats, you are the new guardian of the book, right?“ Ava asked. She was delighted to see a positive nod.
“Zoey, have you learned the first five symbols from the book of the living, yet?“ Aurora's voice emerges from the shank, she opens the door and walks out of the shank.
Aurora was astonished to see Ava again, it's been years already. Aurora ran to Ava embracing her.
“Ava, what's wrong? You look blue.“ Aurora asked as she disengaged from the hug. Aurora knew something was wrong somewhere as she sighted her.
“It's still about Derek.“ Ava mumbled.
“Don't worry, it will be fine.“ Aurora assured
. Aurora signals to Zoey to excuse them.
Zoey zooms away with the book.
“Come in, dear.“ Aurora said. They both walk into Nicole's shank.
Nicole was on his feet, he backed them.
“If you are here for the three-eyed monster name, go back!“ Nicole's voice resounded in his small shank.
