" Take your rest Nemo.
Tomorrow we will discuss."
Ronal added looking at me .
I shook my head in agreement .Jemain bring me some food and tea. It was hard to eat them. It wasn't easy. Every part of me screamed in pain.
I fell asleep. It was a long night for a simple single man like me.
The morning came and the warm light a wake me.
I stood up walking slowly to the window. I felt good.
" Nemo!
Finally I found you .
The father wants to meet you soon!"
A voice that I surely know more than myself.
I turned behind .
" Lakey !
What are you doing here?
How did you get in?
"
I asked in amazement.
Lakey was my father's left hand . She was the most strong servant I ever face.
" The order was to bring you home , if you agree or not"
She whispered in my ears.
"How did she get behind me ?
She is so fast"
I said into myself.
She put her sharp sword on my neck till some of my blood dripped on her sword. Even drops of it fell onto the floor.
" You know I hate you . I want to kill you, but the orders are orders. You are lucky . Now come with me as a good boy"
She said while touching my cheeks with her fingertips , she was as if she wanted to pierce her nails into my face and ruin my divine beauty.
" I will come with you when the sun come down in the morning"
I said then I began laughing.
She hit me till I bleed out of my mouth.
I fall into the ground.
I lost consciousness.
" You are a savage lady "
I said slowly. looking at her eyes .
" Welcome back son"
My father said. Then he pointed to lakey to wait out the room.
" I see you are still alive old man"
I answered opening my eyes bigger than before .
" Can you just one time be respectable?"
My father said. Then he sat on the chair.
We were in a close room . There was only two chairs and a lamp.
" What do you want from me?
No one here to hear you so do not pretend as a good father for a bad son. Both of us know each other well "
I said.
" For one time just make me proud of you, for the whole twenty years you were doing nothing , are not you feel shame?"
My father asked.
" Well this my life and I am free how should I live it. I appreciate your failure bringing up of me as a gentleman like you. But father!
it's not a big deal if I follow other path in the life."
I said sadly with hope to be understood by him.
" I have a lot of sons but you are the beloved one , you are into my heart Nemo. I am not going to force you doing something you don't like but remember the family is still family and you are part of me I can't see you suffering and doing nothing, I am your father son "
My father said. A tear came down of my father's eye. This was the first time when he been so emotional like that way.
I was silent looking at the floor.
" I wanted to make you proud and I tried but that was on my own way. Father !"
I said looking slowly into his eyes. They were so serious and full of disappointment.
He turned on towards the door. holding his phone which was ringing.
" Hello !
Yeah, it's me Montero .
Who is talking"
My father was talking on the phone.
"Yeah!
Yeah !
It's clear , I got it.
I will be there"
He said then he closed his phone. My father left the room. He never looked back to see how I was aching from inside. He was always like that. Preferring his job more than anything else. I stood up then I walk towards the door, damning every breath of mine. step after step and the light get stronger. I looked around me. I saw a very wonderful place I had never seen it ever.
The trees and the followers as if they were from the paradise.
" Welcome to Jion Montero, the holy garden from Wakrante ."
Miss Jafa said.
" Oh ! Is this the place where my father use to disappear from us
?."
I asked wondering .
" This is where he works. It's a secret place. Not so easy for any one to be in it"
Miss Jafa said. She is a very tall lady with long legs . She is thin, her hair was dark brown . But she was thirty five and never get married . I was sad for her though she was looking good .
" Follow me to get out from here"
She said while she was walking to a great door.I thought that was the gate.
" No !
I am not going anywhere.
I want to know what is my father's specific job. Of course, he is not just a royal merchant, as he claimed that he is from one of the ancient families. "
I said going behind her.
She stopped walking and looked at me .
" You want me to call you Miss Lakey right?
By the way , she is playing with your friends out there in other side of the door . And you know how Lakey use to play "
Miss Jafa said.
" No way !
Take me to them"
I shouted.
Lakey was not a normal lady. She loved to kill the others without mercy . She was a killing machine, I knew her since my miserable childhood. She will break their arms then she would cut off their hair.
We walked till we reached the great gate then we path through.
We were out side that beautiful place.
" Here is Nemo!
I told you we do not need him for now . You can take him"
Lakey said to Ronal who was standing in front of her.
" Thank God you are safe"
I whispered.
" I can't hear what are you saying?
Come closer. "
Jemian shouted. He was a distance far from Ronal.
" We were waiting you for a very long time. Where did you go? And who is this crazy lady?"
Ronal said.
" Some families troubles. Do not worry let's just leave this place to talk in some quite one.not including this lady a round"
I said looking sharply at Lakey
" I am watching you Nemo!
Remember and always remember .
"
Lakey said then she suddenly disappeared.
"Where are we now?"
I asked for the place was all deserted.
" Seriously bro!"
Jemian said.
" We are in somewhere near the boundary between The Lands of Ova and The Kingdom of the demon clans."
Ronal said .
" We don't know that you are the son of Astonyano Jion Montero, The famous man all over the seven Lands of Ova. "
Jemain said looking at me.
" Yeah!
I am his useless son. I think dad had done something wrong to be punished by a son like me"
I said trying to control myself.
" The King Cassin is very angry . Samenda took the magic rug to Sir Kimsey .
He ordered us not to move out of Listonia city without his permission. He told us to meet him at the holy house after a week from now"
Ronal said.
" Are you doing good Nemo?
Your eyes are not purple any more they were in a very light grey colour as they were at the first time when we had met."
Jemian said , he came closer
" Don't touch brother!
Be back those are my eyes not a doy to play with. "
I said taking step back a way from him.
" The horses are there on that sand hill. Let's move faster . My brother King Cassin has no patient at all"
Ronal said then he whistle for the horses to came down the hill.
But they did not come . This was the first time the horses disobey Ronal's orders.
We climbed the hill up to see what's wrong.
The wind blew , we reached the top of the hill. There were no horses up there.
" Did they escape?
How can we back now?
" I asked.
" Someone has taken them. They would not ran a way I know my horses well
"
Ronal said.
" Come on Jemian,
can you find them?"
I asked looking at Jemian. The was so hot.
" No I am sorry but I can't find them. My power is just working on people not on animals nor demons "
Jemian answered.
Ronal whistled so loudly . Then we heard the neighing of the horses . Their voices were weak, the sound was coming from the western side. Where there I see nothing but dunes and a lot of sand everywhere.We followed the source of the sound, hoping to find the horses It is our only solution to get out oh this desert before nightfall.
