Ophir took a shower and asked Eyel and Mem to arrange a bed within Lehi's chamber cell. The King has given his permission because Lehi is not violent at all. She won't react even if someone slap her. Ophir ordered Eyel to bath her master. Gladly Eyel poured her favourite soap and perfume on the water.
When she got Lehi on the tub she noticed a foreign emblem on her back. It's drawn with a star enveloped by lamp. Whenever a soap drips to it. Lehi would arch her back in pain. Though her face is expressionless those who knew her can understand her gestures. Eyel helped her lay down with her face on the pillow. Eyel covered her body with the blanket and called Ophir.
Ophir seated on the bed waiting for Eyel to escort Lehi back. But Eyel call out to him and her face look weary. She simplified what she saw and Ophir rushed toward Lehi only to see her bare insured with thin silk blanket. His eyes glued on her skin. This is not her usual color. The viens are highlighted like a tiny roots supporting the draft on her back.
Ophir tried to touch it lightly but it fluctuated and it released a glowing greenish of gaseous fire. Ophir felt anxious seeing his wife in this condition. Giving him a hint that she might be used as the vessel by the invisible being to activate the incubating children.
"Our Heavenly Father, Right now I am having a lot of emotions bottle up within me. I am about to explode of anger. I wanted to wail and lament for the pain my wife is going through. Yet I know that the best way to save my wife is to entrust her to you. I pray that the gift you have let me care of will be useful in tending my wife. Amen. "
The blood on his left palm coated his whole arms. He tried to lunged his hand on the emblem and it did not react. Ophir waited for the blood to overlay his body. After the said motion he embraced his wife and checked her spine. Ophir can feel something bulging in it. He rub it on a circular manner and observed Lehi cautiously drift to rest. For the whole week it's the first time Lehi shut her eyes.
Ophir informed the team about what he discovered and mentioned about Lehi's condition. Asno can feel the bulge response to her touch. Her face silhouetted a onerous expression.
"The enemy seeded a gamete in her spine. It posses haploid chromosome set, capable of initiating a formation of new individual. It's a fusion of male and female germ cells that are mature. "
Cyrus devised a statement that shocked the whole team. "Disecting it would be dangerous. She might be bedridden forever. If we won't be able to remove it in her body. She will became an incubator for the germ cell. Ophir mentioned about himself coating the blood and letting it penetrate the spell. This will be noxious. "
Ophir sleep beside his wife facing her. He studied her dark eyebags. And her now purple face. Her lips are turning white as well. How can you let that guy roam his hand on your back when I havent done it yet? Your a cunning wife ! You really love making me jealous eh? "
Ophir flicker her nose with his finger.
Deep within Lehi can see and hear everything. She wanted to cry but her voice and tears are muted. When she saw Ophir standing in anger she wanted to hug him or smile at him but her body won't respond. When Eyel bathed her she felt refreshed. Ophir entering the room and seeing her bare made her heart beat doubled. Her pulse are racing. She can her the emblem reject Ophir's hand. When she heared him pray she felt safe and secured. His warmth aided her unmoved body. Only then her member permeited her to sleep. She hate to put her team in a tight situation. But for now all she can do is rely on them.
Lehi wanted to return the gesture she's receiving from Ophir but it felt like her body is bind by something ominous. Again she can feel the bulg in her viens move and pierce her spine. She curved her back to ease the pain. When she opened her eyes she is laying flat on a flower bed.
Cyrus hath his rod out. She can feel the King's annointing and intense authority shake the cell within her. She heeded him utter a prayer.
" Oh God our victory. Lord our avenger we uplift this delimma to you. We do believe that in every breaking there is a break through. You are the only one who can make all things possible. I annoint this nail to purify what is cursing this child of yours. We plead your blood to circulate inside her because her DNA is from you, We thank your gracious assurance. Amen. "
The nail soaked in Ophir's blood and salt water pierced through her in transparency. They can finally hear Lehi's voice and scream. She squirm at the grief. Ophir fastened himself and watch Lehi go through it until it subsided. The greenish gaseous went up like a derelict smudge. Lehi's body regained it's natural facade.
Ophir asked Eyel to bath her before tucking her on their bed. He followed Cyrus to where they caged the children and immediately they gained consciousness. For now Cyrus is grateful that thier memories are lossed. They won't remember the pain they hath went through.
Prince Yael and Cresent went back to the north with the children fully recovered. They got transported by Lila. For now they are waiting for Lehi to wake up. Ophir patiently lingered in their room before going out for assignment. Lehi's been sleeping since that day. Cyrus said that she needed her organs to rest. She is not jusy exhausted physically but mentally. All they have to do is believe in Lehi.
