Chapter 9 - Chosing a guardian

King Ziah was still wondering what Samantha said.

"Didn't you understand when I told you he is different"? Samantha snapped and he bit his lower lips. "Your concern shouldn't be how he got the demonic side, it should be how dangerous and destructive that side of his could be". Samantha said.

"I know how dangerous demons are but why must my son become one, huh?". King Ziah said.

"It's his destiny? Your majesty, you both have given birth to the most powerful supernatural creature in the entire magical realms!". Samantha announced and the water rose up and then came down again. Causing everyone to be startled.

She said both because Dela was the son of their king and was born by a human being and was raised as a human being. So the both were King Ziah and Cecilia.

" Will he be that endangered? His safety is all that matters now". Rollins said.

" You know I don't lie your majesty, I say things the way I see them. It would be foolish of me to tell you that he would be safe and out of danger". Samantha said and he sighed.

" He is behaving naive, inexperienced and trust easily, he is very gullible if I may say. If other supernatural creatures got to know about him, they will use him over your kingdom and he is the heir as well as we know, but whichever side he is on determines what comes out of the pure magic powers and who rule on the THRONE".

" How are we going to help him?". King Ziah said.

" We need to summon his guardians". Samantha said.

" Let's do it right away ". He said.

" It's not going to be easy training him in the human world, is not going to be safe training him here either. Meet me here by this time tomorrow, we are going to summon his guardians. Whoever they are should be strong enough to tame his demon". Samantha said.

" Do you know who they are going to be"? Rollins asked.

" No, only the ocean knows". Samantha said as she points to the water that shone brightly before becoming dim again".

BACK TO EARTH

After school that day, Dela hurried home. He wanted to tell aunt Maggie what happened to him yesterday but unfortunately, she wasn't at home that day and he know that she will be in the house that day.

Aunt Maggie was busy making fried rice with chicken for his arrival. Dela entered the house and ran to meet her in the kitchen. He hugged her from the back.

" Good afternoon aunt,..I miss you soo much". Dela said.

" Aunt Maggie stop what she was doing and turned to him.

" Afternoon my dear..I miss you too". She notices that something was odd about his behavior at that time.

" What happened..did something happen yesterday that you don't like?". She asked. She knew very well that Dela would always come and hug her whenever he was moody or feeling down.

Dela nodded and pouted. " I almost kill someone yesterday, Aunt". He said with his head hung low.

" You almost did what!?". Aunt Maggie said almost exclaiming.

" I didn't mean to. I just lost control when he cast a spell on me. He was choking me, Aunt. He choked me too hard and I lost it..so .so". Dela said still with his head hung low.

Aunt Maggie facepalmed. (So that was the reason for the unfriendly weather yesterday, I should have known it). She thought to herself.

" Let go to the living room and tell me everything". Aunt Maggie said as she dried her wet hands with the kitchen towel.  Dela didn't hesitate and followed her. He was still afraid of what he did. So he made a mental note to avoid getting angry from then henceforth.

Aunt Maggie made him sat down on the couch and sat beside him.

" I'm all ears, tell me what happened yesterday?". She asked.

" Aunt what about the food you are preparing, won't it burn?". He asked concerned.

" You don't need to worry about that, for it will take care of itself. Now tell me". Aunt Maggie said and smiled.

Dela smiled back and started narrating all that happened to Aunt Maggie, who listened attentively. After he was done with his narration, he said. " Aunt, I know I'm a monster and I need to tell my mother about it, she thought I was having good power but not a monster". He cried.

" No, dear. Don't ever say that again. You aren't a monster. It wasn't your fault to be new to your powers, it wasn't your fault that he got hurt either. Don't feel bad for what you didn't do on purpose. We only need to work on your powers and train you". Aunt Maggie's said, giving him motivation.

" Okay aunt I have heard you, ..but please can I ask a question". He said.

" Go ahead, my dear". She smiled.

" Why is it dangerous to trust someone easily". He said with his confused face.

" It is dangerous because you don't know what goes through their minds. A person can act like your friend, but in their heart, all they thinks is your downfall ". She explained.

" Owww.!". Dela said.

" Yeah, we supernatural creatures take trust very seriously. As a magical being, you don't go about trusting everyone you came across especially if you possess special power. People might appear to be friends with you, but they intend to destroy you or exploit you". Aunt Maggie said.

" So, Lily was right ". Dela muttered to himself but Aunt Maggie heard him.

" Who is she". She asked.

" Ooh, she is the principal daughter and a supernatural too". He said and smiled.

( Mmm..if Lily is the principal daughter and she is a supernatural too, then I think her father must be a supernatural too). She thought.

" Okay I have heard you but be careful around her". She warned.

" I will aunt". He said.

" Now go freshen up and come back for your food for I don't think you will like it if it gets cold". She teased.

" Haha..you no it right". He said and stood up then went to his room.

Aunt Maggie sighed and headed back to the kitchen. She no that now that the heir has been found and his powers were also manifesting, it wasn't going to be easy at all. She needed to call his mother and informed her about it.

Because of those dark creatures, he was brought up as a human and lived in the human world all his life. Now that he has come of age and his powers have grown with him it wasn't going to be an easy task for him. They needed to find who he love best and keep her safe or else she will also be in trouble. She has to try her best to protect that little girl he was crushing on. Although she hasn't seen her before she knows that Dela has a crush.

THE NEXT DAY( at the ocean in the realm of pure magic).

The ocean sparkled and shone as Samantha chanted some strange words. She touched it and a wave came, washed up on the concrete tiles, surrounding the ocean, and went back. the guards and the maids were dismissed leaving only King Ziah and his friend Rollins together with Cecilia whom King Ziah went to take and told her everything about Dela.

"His guidances are the water spirit and a human girl". Samantha said after she opened her eyes.

"What!! A human girl". King Ziah said almost exclaiming.

" Yes, your majesty but for now we need to focus on the water spirit".

" Okay, does that mean his powers are associated with water"? Cecilia asked.

" Yes. That is why his emotional controls the weather. His tears cause the rain to fall, his rage, fury, and anger cause a storm where there are flashes of lightning and roaring of thunder". Samantha said.

" Whoa, that is an amazing power ". Rollins said while laughing.

" It is but is also dangerous. Look at how peaceful the ocean looks and how the sky above us looks, if Dela gets triggered, the ocean gets triggered as well as the sky. If we aren't careful, this ocean must be our end". Samantha said.

" Let's go ahead and summon his water guardian then". Cecilia said again.

" What is the gender of his water guardian?". King Ziah said.

"I don't know but the ocean can tell". Samantha said and bowed then closed her eyes again. She stretched forth her hand towards the ocean as her midnight black hair flew in different directions. The ocean  danced and heavy wind blew. A minute later, a huge pile of water in form of a wave sprung up and landed on the dry land.

Slowly, it formed into a person and when the transformation was complete, all eyes widened as they beheld the most beautiful girl they have ever set their magical eyes on.

" Greetings, I am Hosea the chosen guardian of our beloved heir". She said and bowed with her sword down.

King Ziah and the rest gazed at that fine young girl. Is the ocean trying to seduce their heir or guard him? Look at her!  She was the complete definition of PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL.

"Rise". He ordered.

Hosea rose to her feet and smiled charmingly. Rollins couldn't help but drool. The heir was so lucky to have such a beautiful girl has his guardian. She has blueberry-colored eyes and a pointed nose. Her facial features were perfect like that of a god. She has a slim waist with her broad beauty shaped hips.

"The ocean chose you?" Samantha said with a huge smile on her face.

"Yes, great one. I am Hosea, last daughter of Harven, king of the water kingdom". She said and they gasped.

" Wow, you are king Harven's daughter? The best guardian comes from his lineage,". Rollins gasped.

" That means you can transform into a mermaid ".

"You are partly right but not entirely. We don't transform into mermaids but we can breathe underwater". She said and Rollins smiled.

"You know what you're supposed to do right ". King Ziah said.

"Yes your majesty, my mission is to guide, protect, train, nurture and make sure our heir, Prince Dela Ziah isn't exposed to any danger ". Hoses said.

"And if he is in danger by any chance?". Cecilia said with a questioning look.

"I will lay down my life to save him". She answered firmly with no fear.

King Ziah, Cecilia, and the others nodded their heads, pleased with her determination.

"You are going to the human world Hosea, you need to at least dress and act like them". Samantha said.

"Why ". She asked.

"Because anything around there is different from here, their food, clothes and their character and so on. The world isn't like how it was thousand years ago. And I learned you assimilate things in seconds, so getting to learn about humans shouldn't be that hard for you, right!". Samantha asked and she nodded.

"Good you are going to be enrolled in ling's high school, that is where our heir is. You must stick by his side all the time. Do not let out of his side". Samantha warned.

"You can trust me". she answered.

" Go well and train him well. When the time comes, he will come to where he truly belongs". Samantha said.

" I won't let you down your majesty ". she said and, bowed then disappear into the thin air.

" Are you sure she can handle this.. isn't this for man"? Cecilia asked.

" If she can't, she wouldn't have been chosen by the ocean ". Samantha said and smiled.

" I think it will be a good idea to tell Maggie about this. By now Dela must have no how dangerous it is to trust people he doesn't know. And we all know that those creatures can go any length to get him on their side. So if Maggie knows that she can inform him and he will be aware that she is his guardian". Rollins suggested.

Royal adviser are believed to be very wise so their advice isn't always neglected and Rollins, being their leader is considered the wisest, so his suggestion is always put into consideration.

" Alrighty, we will do as you said". The king said.

" But please can we at least go and see him". Both the king and Cecilia pleaded.

" No your majesty I don't think is safe to do that for now, you let just wait for some time ".

Samantha said.

" Okay, we have heard you". The king said

" But what about the human girl ".

" For the human girl he has to choose.. please I will like to take my leave now". she said and they ordered her to go and she disappeared.

" You majesty, please should I summon Maggie?"  Rollins asked.

" Yes go ahead and please if you see Dela tell him that we love him and we miss him Soo much". The king said and teleported back to the human world with Cecilia.

" Thanks for sending me there". Cecilia said as they got back from the realm.

" But please I hope nothing will happen to my son?". She asked with concern ".

" Don't worry Cecilia, nothing will happen to him". Uzziah said to calm her down.

" Okay I have heard you, so you need to go back before my other son comes back from school..or else he will ask a lot of questions ".

" I will get going and please greet him for me and tell him that his godfather loves him". He said and smiled then vanished.

Becky and Aaron, Elle and Robin, Dora and Andy knew nothing of what was going on in her house for she has kept everything to herself. They were her friends back in school.

"I need to inform them about this". She said. Neither did she also knows that Peggy was having the devil's son with her. Although she has been hearing things like that, but because she doesn't care, she never asked about that. She got up and went to her kitchen to prepare something for her lastborn.

Rollins also arrived at Maggie's house minutes after King Ziah's arrived in his palace.

Aunt Maggie noticed that someone has come to visit her from the spirit world.

She woke up and walked straight to the living room just to meet Rollins sitting down on the couch with his legs crossed on the other.

In his hand was a piece of apple he was chewing.

" Hi". He said, seeing Aunt Maggie walking toward him.

" Hello, Good evening..you were coming and you didn't even announce it?". She asked and sat beside him.

"It was a sudden thing so none of us was announced". He said.

" Anyway, what brought you into my bosom ". She said.

" I just came to inform you about something".

" About Dela's powers".

" Yes and how to control it".

" I'm about to teach him myself"

" That is a good idea, but his parents have decided on another way of protecting him". He said and Aunt Maggie listened to him.

He told her everything from head to toe and then conclude by saying.

"So please ask him who he is crushing on.. just in a funny way and ask him so we will know what to do about her.. besides he is no longer young,  he is 18 years old ".

" Okay I heard you I will do that ".

After saying that Rollins bowed and vanished and Aunt Maggie went back to her sleep.
