'Why was I even awakened! I can't even die and have another rebirth or reincarnation till the world ends. I really want to die.'
Aki scolds him, 'That's a dangerous thought, Chev. Think of the sins you had committed and thank the Almighty that you were given a second chance and a purpose.
Chev whines like a baby, 'I am thankful..but every time you are gone,I feel at loss.'
Chev's kind was awakened to pass down our ancestral history to humans. To help Human and Jinn generations.
Aki consoles him,'Your kind acts as protectors of these two mortal beings. Don't hate yourself just because you are immortal.'
'I don't care about that. I get worried every time when your soul fades away. I wander here and there looking for you. I also get disappointed when I see you didn't get reincarnation but feel relieved that you didn't.' Chev seemed confused.
'I don't mind if you feel like that. Don't let that bother you.' Aki smiles, 'I just haven't reached the time where my soul's liberation is.'
'I hate to stay immortal when you are not. I don't even know if I have a soul or not,if we will meet after the judgement day or not.' Chev sits up and looks at Aki.
He returns to his usual face when he sits away from Aki. Aki takes his hand and again he reverts back to his boyish appearance. Aki strokes and puts his hair behind his ears, 'Just because you were awakened to serve me, doesn't mean you don't have any other purpose. I chose you because you had loyalty in whatever you do. So don't waver from your decision.'
'Yes,Master.'Chev suddenly sat up straight. Aki was looking outside.
'Joana!' Chev frowns as Joana tries to contact them.
Chev hadn't completely disappeared when Aki got a hold on him.
'Wait…You stay here. That person must have something that he wants to talk about with me.' Aki said.
'Joana!' Aki intervenes.
'Master!' Joana responded while she was holding her arm that was injured.
Her eyes glowed and so did Aki's. She transferred her vision to Aki, showing him where she was.
'Who are you communicating with? Your Master?'A lady was holding a weapon in her hand but it was not visible.
She moved the edge that she had in her hand and a cord became visible. A whip. The cord was so thin and unnoticeable. She walked closer to Joana and hit her with that. It cuts her other arm.
'Why were you following them?! Answer me!' The lady was screaming.
Joana's silence made her more angry. She slapped her. Joana's veins were turning purple. She was suppressing her anger. She grabbed Joana's hair and made Joana look at her face.
'You have a very pretty face.' Her whip tied Joana's throat tightly, 'I would have forgiven you, if you had spoken up.'
Suddenly a force threw the woman away. She flew way too far from Joana. But she landed herself safely to the ground. She came fast to Joana. But she couldn't step forward after a few steps. Something was blocking her.
'You dare to…' She stops seeing Aki standing behind Joana.
Joana looks back and kneels down, 'I'm sorry Master,I have failed you…I will be following them again.'
'No need…They have reached safely.' Aki felt really bad to see Joana hurt like that. Aki touched her head.
The woman recognised Aki,'Akio Azusa?!'
He was confused to hear her. Aki couldn't recognise her.
But he was angry, 'Who the hell are you!?'
'You little!' The woman became furious.
Aki was about to leave. That woman appeared in front of him. Aki remembers the face now. It was Mei's mother, "What is she doing here?"
'Akio Azusa! You didn't forget anything?' She asked but with a little confusion whether she was right or wrong.
'I have no idea what you are…'Aki sees the blood weapon in her hand, "Ashrith?! Why is she welding it? Does that mean she is the one who killed Sora…" He looked at her with disgust.
His eyes turned blank. A thunder rumbling could be heard faintly.
Joana became worried, 'Master!'
'What?' Aki was angry enough to not hear anything.
'Master, it's mother.. !' Joana turns pale.
'So?! What of it…' Aki's eyes grew bigger.
Aki looked at the sky. So did Kinari. A large bird was flying towards them. Both of its wings were absorbing lightning bolts from the clouds.
'No, No! No! Levka No!' Aki became restless.
The phoenix was circling them. She was throwing fire to Kinari who was petrified but Aki blocked them.
'Levka! Calm down.' Aki casts something over Kinari.
Kinari couldn't do that because of fear. Aki was angry but he didn't want to kill her yet because she is Joshua's wife.
'Try to breathe as little as possible…' Seeing Levka not stopping,Aki touched Kinari's forehead and her soul left, leaving her body on the ground.
'What did you do to me?!' Kinari screams in fear. 'Do you know what situation you are in? You have hurt her daughter. She will burn you to death.' He sent her somewhere through a portal attaching a thread on her, 'Don't let go of it. If you do, I won't be able to find you.'
She vanishes from there. She found herself in a lake.
Aki looked at the phoenix with his glowing jewel eyes, 'Levka! Calm down.'
Levka's red eye iris closes its pupil and then reverts back as Aki's eye colour. Levka was interrupted. She observes Aki. She focused on his eyes.
"Father?!" She observed Aki.
"That's right ! It's me!" Aki smiles as she recognizes him.
The Phoenix turned into a beautiful woman, ran to Aki and hugged him. She cried for a while.
'Did you miss me that much?' Aki smiled as his heart was surprisingly at peace.
'I did. I missed you so much. You took forever.' She cried.
Aki pats over her hair, 'Sorry...for not remembering.' 'It's ok. I'm glad that you didn't reincarnate.' she said.
'What a cruel thing to say!' Aki scoffed.
Her eyes are now just like Aki's. She released him from her embrace.
'Have you calmed down?' Aki wanted to be sure. 'No!' Her eyes flamed up, 'Where is she?!'
Aki looks at the body that was lying on the ground. He suddenly noticed a light getting closer to them. Joshua comes down and stands next to his wife.
"Shit! Why!" Aki found the situation going out of his hand.
Levka turns into her beast form seeing Joshua being hostile towards Aki. Joshua got close and was stupefied to see Aki there with a Phoenix. She tried to attack Joshua.
'Levkaa!!' Aki stopped her.
Her wings wrapped her body. She didn't stop so Aki held her with a string and she couldn't move. But still screams towards Joshua.
