Chapter 12 - funeral

Next few years went by smoothly for all three children, Chloe was daily visitor in Lucifer's mansion and Melinoe accepted it as daily pest that she ignored and concentrated on her meditation. These days she was able to feel energy particle around her and now she was learning to absorb it inside her.

Callum was now seven, along with Chloe. Overlord investigated Chloe when he met her. She was daughter of some immortal but whom he didn't know. But one thing was sure her affinity was plants and her parents must have come from Goddess Gaia descendant who controlled earth and she was most protected in mortal world. Lucifer decided to use her as cannon fodder to hide Callum as they will try to protect Chloe at any point of danger because in earth, power of Gaia was at her fullest.

Chloe was originally found by a rich couple on their doorstep but later they were murdered and she was adopted by her uncle who didn't care much for his plant talking niece. Callum was sitting near the sea shore when he saw a ghostly apparition walking towards him. Involuntarily he closed his eyes. Chloe has spent many time with him. She caressed his head murmuring soothing words. Callum relaxed not because the ghost disappeared infact that ghost stood in front of him. But Chloe had the power to soothe his every trouble.

That ghost smiled at Callum " tell Overlord, that running won't take him far, now his wings are chopped. Next will be his neck along with you kid". He roard " in the name of Leith". Callum felt shiver as the ghostly body started dissolving in mid air. He held Chloe's hand and ran to his house. Opening his dad's study which was more of his mother's memorial as her portraits were everywhere . Lucifer turned to listen to Callum when Chloe started laughing " Overlord how far can you run, I can't interfere in fate of mortal but mortals can interfere in yours. Tell me where is your wife and daughter. I want to prepare their funeral ".
