"Nothing has ever appeared so real in all my years on earth like what I saw. If what I saw was true, then you have some incredible abilities, much more than you think" I said speaking to Angelica, yet she looked so reluctant not showing concern to what I uttered.
"You think I'm crazy?" I continued.
"No, I never said you are".
"Then why look at me a fool?" I asked.
She turned around and sighed before averting her attention to me, I watched her lips open as though she was about to speak but she didn't leaving me clueless to what was in her mind.
"So, what's wrong?". I asked
"It's just...." she started, "I met you here at my home and that is strange, I live alone and you are trying to see that we live together in the same apartment which is not cool."
"You're right, I'm sorry I accidentally woke up in your apartment, it's totally my fault", I apologized, "But you really have to know that what I told you is no joke. I promise to try my possible best to stay far away from your apartment if that's what you want, but I need you to understand. If you don't, no one will."
At this moment, I stepped further in my white Ralph Lauren polo shirt, a black pair of trousers and a black pair of shoes. My dressing didn't matter at this point as long as I was willing to make a point.
"Angelica, you are the fiery beast of the air, you have a special attachment and I'm fully convinced that you aren't less powerful. I can search the whole library in this world only to find out why, how and what your special abilities could do, not just for the team, but because you owe the world a favor".
"Davis stop" she ordered.
"Stop what?" I asked
"Stop talking about me and my special abilities okay, its weird".
"So you don't detest the fact that you are powerful?" I added.
"We all are powerful in our precised way it's not normal to start an argument in my apartment at midnight, not neglecting that you bugled my door and came in.
"I wasn't trying to argue, I was only trying my best to make a point and besides, I said I fell from the ceiling".
"Then I think your point is clear" she said throwing her hands sideways and having a very stern facial expression she continued, "You aren't the first to see such, remember there's thousands of people who at a point in time they were frightened by their dreams and so called nightmares".
"Are you mocking me?" I asked feeling gravy.
"Of course not", she responded.
"Then you have to do something, this might possess you forever and if in case you get consumed it's going to be my fault for not taking things seriously".
"Davis you get things wrong, and yet you seem reluctant about it."
"And why is that?"
"Because I have a past and a future okay", she said in a sober tone, "Yet I live like a stranger in the present. There's lots of things you don't know about me and I don't think I'm sure I'm ready to share anything with you at this moment".
"Why?".
"Because I am a curse Lyon Davis, a curse. And you know one thing about curses" she asked rhetorically with her voice raised, "they have series of points made that ends up in tragedy, so I rather not talk about it, and I don't need you to understand".
She dashed outside the doors of her apartment in tears leaving me guilty for not composing myself in a much better way. Maybe I might not be a good listener, but I had to try from somewhere. If I need a team, then I need trust or else everything is ruined. This is my starting point, but I don't want to loose Angelica for any reason. My whole being was filled with empathy and sooner enough, I found myself in the home of omens shortly after her departure.
"I sense uncertainties and guilt" said Howard, but this time, he was nowhere to be found.
"I'm confused". I uttered.
"Then proceed to what baffles you the most oh great one chosen by the gods, certainly I could help give you a little clarity"
"It's Angelica"
"Hope you aren't bringing up any relationship trauma cause I can't be of much help".
"No, it's not. She's very complicated and there's so much I can't handle. I had a vision of which I almost died having you at my side laying down dead. I could've been destroyed but for some reason, she morphed into a dragon and released fiery flames upon a lady who had a very dark sinister all around her personality."
"So what's your question?" asked Howard.
"Is it possible that we could posses abilities to fuse with our animal spirits and posses that which is in store for them?"
"Very well, it is more than just possible to fuse with your animal spirit, you decide what you can be when you can and posses all the powers displayed by their supreme strength which is for the good of people".
"Then why does she think she's a curse?"
"It's rather best I don't take you back to history, the early age of the chosen one by lord Jupiter. He was someone who unlike anyone else, had possession over everything especially the satyr's who cherished nothing but wine, women and parties."
"So what does this have to do with her?" I asked still confused.
"It's not just about her Lyon Davis, the both of you have a connection and this traces back to the last two centuries. Your ancestors and hers".
"So how do I get such information?"
"I suppose you can't be satisfied without food, neither can you gain freedom as a king. Lots of things will weigh you down, but all you need to do is to let her settle and you'll know why she refers to herself as a curse".
"Why can't you tell me yourself ?".
"Because I am unworthy to speak about the history of Ryoko the great in a false manner. Most especially when it comes to her descendant.
After he uttered his last word, I was surrounded by thick dark clouds which looked like smoke, and in it I could see different scenarios of a woman pleading for mercy as she wailed in excruciating torture. I saw her run alongside taking shelter in a house before she got pregnant and conceived a child who in return was possessed by the turquoise coloured dragon.
All these lasted for not less than ten seconds before the clouds parted revealing I standing in front of Angelica. But my speech ceased passing the chill beneath my jaw after I uttered the first word.
"Who is Ryoko?"
