Zarinah's pov
With Gavi's help, I managed to find the ascendant. It was never easy, especially with how harsh the ascendant would be if in the wrong hands. It was our only salvation, not that anyone would ever know, but for my children, I would cross the blue oceans and back.
Of course, its black magic was deadly, but I didn't care. I was desperate to protect my children. Carl and zayn were the only reason I had to live on, but with them gone, I wouldn't have a life to live. My children were everything to me.
I wanted to create a prison for the people who tried to kill my children and the royals were the first in line for it all. I didn't care.
Around that time, I had also learned of the phoenix son who belonged to Alexei. He was the son of the soil who no one would accept but people wanted to know about.
