Chapter-25: Phenom.
It was morning and the king Zod was sitting in front of his people in the hall because they were told by the soldiers that the king Oz was missing and nobody knows the reason why he is missing. Zod ordered his soldiers to go and find Oz at any cost because due to him there was a problem going in his kingdom.
This is not the only problem, he was also thinking about Hero because that task was completed by him. He saw his shining eyes; he wanted to know the reason behind his shining eyes. He knew the reason but he wanted to confirm so, so he decided to meet him.
Now, the time has come when Lily and her husband had to go back to their village. They took all their bags and Hero had called a cart for them. They sat in that cart and went towards their house.
After they went, Hero asked Mary about his power because he found that she knew many things about his powers. She did not say anything to him but she knew that he could read her mind also. … "Mother, you know something about my powers?"
…
"No!! Nothing."
She was in fear, so she walked away from him. When he turned his face towards his father, he quickly walked away from there and told him to take all the goats and sheeps for herding.
Hero was sitting on the ground and his goats and sheeps were eating grasses but his friends were sitting behind and they were a little bit afraid of him because they had seen his face yesterday when he was helping Isabella to save him from witches.
"What? Come over here." Said by Hero.
They slowly stand from their places and sit around him.
Soldiers were looking around the village and asking about Oz to those people whom they met in their path. After asking many people, they did not find anything about him. They lost their hope and were about to go but they heard some words about Hero. People were telling him that Hero had seen those four witches and he saved one girl from their hands.
Their ears stand straight and they quickly stop those people and ask them about the reality. After knowing everything, they quickly sat on their horses and started running towards their king. In the palace, they told everything to Zod.
…
"Hmm."
All the teachers told him that they should go and meet him because he had seen those witches. They were getting ready to go but Luna stopped his father and requested him to take her also but he refused and went towards Hero's house.
Hero was in the field and Zod was moving towards his house. He entered inside the village and villagers were shocked to see him because he never used to go out from his palace but that day he was in front of them in their village.
First they decided to go to meet Thomas because her daughter was captured by those witches. They meet him and Isabella tells him everything and now, they start moving towards his house. They don't know that Hero went out for herding but Zod and his soldiers reached his house.
One of the soldiers called them out of the house. When Joseph and Mary saw Zod, they bowed their heads for his respect and they requested him to come inside. … He took time and jumped down from his horse. He stepped inside and took a seat on the wooden slab where Hero used to sleep.
Suddenly, all the birds who used to live in that tree start making noise. It seems that they were telling him to stand up from that place. Sound kept increasing, soldiers tried to move them away but they kept making sounds.
Joseph went inside and took out one chair for him and requested him to sit over there. … Zod was surprised because he is king and he had to change his seat but he wanted to know about Hero and how did he help that girl. But he got irritated by the sound of those birds and stood from that place and sat on the chair, meanwhile all the birds also stopped from making sounds.
Zod was surprised to see that. "Hmm. Very strange."
Isabella went to Hero and told him about Zod. He stood from his seat and was about to go but he stopped and saw his elephant jumbo. He thought that he should go with him. He quickly sat on his back and told him to go.
Finally, Hero also reached his house and he was sitting on the back of a jumbo. Zod was surprised to see that white elephant and he also knew about that elephant. All the soldiers stepped aside because they were standing in front of an elephant. Hero jumped down and bowed his head in respect and took his seat. He sat on his wood slab and this time, the birds did not make any noise.
Without thinking anything, Zod asks him about the help which he had yesterday night and he also asks about Oz. … "I don't know about king Oz and you already know about the help."
… "Then what about your shining eyes?"
"I don't know."
"WOW!!" Said by the teachers.
He was answering to him without any fear and this type of attitude was liked by the teachers.
Zod knew that he went to that black forest twice but then also he came out alive. He asked about the witches and he told him that they were many, they were countless.
Zod knew that Oz does not like him but he also knew that he is the only one who can help him to find him. Mary knew that Oz was beaten by Jumbo when he attacked her and after that he went towards the black forest. Zod saw his wounds and cuts marks on his hand when he was attacked by those alligators and the wounds and marks automatically disappeared from his skin.
He asks about that but he does not know about that either. … Zod stood from his seat and walked towards his horse and told him that if he knew about Oz then tell him. Before he left his house, he thought that he should take a chance and he used his powers and saw him. He found that four rings were revolving around him. He was surprised to see that and turned his horse face and went from his house.
It was the first time when the king Zod met Hero face to face. While riding on the horse, Zod was thinking about white elephant. He is the king but then also, he does not have any white elephant but Hero had and the question was that from where does he get that white elephant.
Mary was angry at Hero because of his behaviour in front of Zod. She told him that he should behave properly in front of him. …
On the other hand, all the four witches were standing around the crystal ball. Hena was moving her hand around the ball and asking about the black image which appeared in front of them. She was moving her hand and face appeared.
"Phenom." Said by that face.
They were surprised when they heard that name. That face also told them that if they want to mess with that image then they won't imagine what will happen with them.
All the females were shocked when they heard that. They were dead but they knew that crystal ball never told a lie.
…
"Hena, who is Phenom?" Asked by Regan. But the answer came from the crystal ball. That face told them that if they know about him then they have to meet that boy again.
After saying this that face disappeared. They all came back to their seats and looked towards the ceiling that ceiling was full of spirits and their color was black in color. They were moving around and they stood in front of Hena and told her that they would attack that boy and all other spirits started shouting. Hena raised her hand and all the spirits got silent.
She stood from her seat and left the mansion.
It was night time and Angel was walking around the terrace. Alice was sitting on the chair and counting the stars. She was also thinking about the origin of those stars but she also wanted to know how they get the name stars.
Angel was roaming around and saw Hero was sitting on his elephant and going somewhere. She quickly called Alice and told her about him but she told her that she does not want to listen to her because she is going to sleep.
Night became darker and Hena was flying in the sky. She saw Hero on his elephant, she was angry. She wants to attack him but she holds herself because she wants to know where he is going. She does not know that Hero was going to take his mother back to the house. While riding that elephant, Hero notices that his elephant was flying.
He was surprised. When Jumbo took a jump, he used to fly at some distance and come back to his feet. And again take another jump.
