Layla was busy on her phone, searching for how people get supernatural powers even though they are humans. Just then, she was interrupted by her parents.
" Yeah, please come in". She said as the door slowly opened and to guess what, it was her grandparents together with her parents. She shouts with joy.
" Grandma, Grandpa!". She exclaimed and run to them.
" How is my baby girl doing". Her grandmother said and peck her on the cheek.
" I'm fine Grandma". She said and stood beside her Grandpa.
" The only time we saw you was when you were young, now see how big you are". Her grandfather said and they laughed.
"Grandma, Grandpa why don't we go to the living room?". Layla asked and they all laughed at her.
"Don't worry my dear, only your room takes up the whole palace in my hometown". Her grandmother said and they laughed.
"Ahh, grandma I thought you had changed with your funny attitude". Layla smiled.
"How will she stop when her one and only grandchild loves it". Her grandfather said.
"Like I said your room is big, so definitely we are going to talk here". His grandmother said.
"But why? if I may ask," she said.
"No, I just want to gossip with you small so that your mother, father, and your grandfather won't hear us". She said while Layla bowed down to listen.
"Oh, okay then I will stay with you. Dad, mom, and grandpa can you please excuse me and my babe". She teased.
"So you are sacking us because of your only love..uh". Her mother said and they smile then they all left leaving them behind.
Layla quickly brought her close to her bed and made her sat down.
"Grandma, will you like anything?". Layla asked happily.
"Oh, my dear don't worry I'm okay. I will have something when we go downstairs.
She said and poked her forehead.
" Ouch! Haha". Layla laughed.
" Now Grandma, why are you here?". She asked.
" I'm here because my grandchild has come over age to know where she belongs to". She said confusing Layla a little.
" What do you mean by I have come of age?". She asked and twisted her eyebrows.
" My dear, all I want to say is that you are now grown up to know where you belong to". Her grandmother said with a smile.
" Okay grandma, so where do I belong to?". She asked.
" I'm about to show you, I won't tell you". She smirked.
" Why not tell me". Layla suggested.
" Don't worry if I tell you, it won't sound understandable in your mind so just watch". She said and conjured up a portal which brought out a big white clothe, it covered the TV screen itself and then something begin to play on it. It was like projected and it was showing something.
In what it was showing, there was a great king who ruled a very big empire with his wife who was known as " The Heart Of The people". She was very calm and humble, she loves to bless and blessings were overabundant in her. Her power was a combination of water, air, fire, and earth. She can grow food within a day and harvest it the next day. Also, she can heal what is broken, she can heal with her food. She was indeed the heart of the people.
Her husband the King, was a powerful magical King who killed billions with his bare hands and kill thousands just by looking at them. He was the overall ranking King in the whole realm. But it seems like after God almighty blessed them with all those things, he forgot one thing. That was a child. They consulted all the magical, powerful doctors but they couldn't do anything about it.
They forgot about that and tried as much as possible to live on. One day the Queen brought the good news he had as always wanted to hear, the good news he had always dreamed of it. The Queen was two months pregnant and it was like heaven come down, they was a big party that was thrown just for the arrival of the unborn baby. And when she finally gave birth, it was an eye saw. Supernatural people from all over the universe came with their gifts and blessings to the newborn baby.
When the Demons got to know about that, they struck on them and they needed to act fast. The Queen gave birth to two children. One was a boy and the other was a girl.
They entrust the throne with a powerful Angel who was in their midst at that time. He was the only one who can save them at the time, for he gave them all they had. so it was like they were returning it with the children he as gave them.
He warned them that they will lose all their powers and will become humans if they run up to the real world.
They agreed with it, but he also told them to live their baby boy back and go with only the girl. With that being said, they got mad at the Angel. Why was he making it difficult for them to protect their children?
" My king, I'm only saying this because your daughter is too weak for the powers and she won't have them at all. Because her destiny is to become a human being and not a supernatural being". The Angel explained.
" So what about the boy?". The king asked.
" He is the only one with magical powers, and he is also the only one who can sit on this throne". He said, pointing at the throne in front of them.
The king gave it a thought for days, before finally concluding that they will live the boy for them and take the girl rather. So a day was made for their leaving. They did all they have to do and hand over the throne to the newborn baby because he was the only one who can succeed the throne. They drive the newborn baby's name from the word "HEAVEN". so they called him Harven because God has heard their voice in heaven.
The Kingdom they lived in was the underwater world called Chad, The Ocean at the Kingdom of pure magic powers. The underwater Kingdom was the guardian of the kingdom of pure magic powers, because they hold the upper hand in their realm, and also if something triggered them soo will it be on them.
The girl child who was brought out from that world was the one sitting close to Layla on her bed. When the video was over, everything returned to normal.
Layla astonishingly looked at her Grandmother. She had never been flabbergasted in her life before only that moment she spent with her
Grandmother.
" So Layla, don't be surprised about your powers. It came from your Great-Great-Grandparents, who were my parents". She said and smiled.
" But Grandma, did you get your gift too, I mean your powers?" Layla asked and looked at her face.
" No, I never had anything like that, but now I'm having it right beside me which is you". She pointed at her and Layla exclaimed.
" Me!!!, But my name wasn't mentioned anywhere?". She asked in surprise.
" That doesn't matter my dear, after all, you are the only chosen one from my family. After you, no one is powerful. which means you have been assigned to take care of the family for the rest of your life". She said.
" What!!!". She gasped.
"But Grandma I'm too young for that, right?". She asked.
" No! My dear, our ancestors waited too long on their decision-making". Her grandmother said.
" What decision were they making? Now Layla wanted to know anything regarding her sudden superpowers.
" Because you are the main source of someone's power and also his guardian, they didn't know the kind of powers you possessed and that was what called for the delay in your powers. If not for that you will have received it a long time". Her grandmother explained and she nodded her head in understanding.
" So if I may ask, Grandma. Why didn't they give the gift to my mother rather than me? She asked with a twist of confusion on her face.
" My dear, your mother wasn't meant to have that powers like I wasn't also meant to. You were the one destined to have that". She said convincingly.
" Hmm..is hard to digest this but I think I have to", She said and made a tired face.
" Grandma!". She called out again.
" Yes, my dear". She responded.
" I heard you talking about something.. like..main..main source of someone's power. Who is it?". She asked.
" Well I don't know, but I will ask my brother about that". She said.
" But Grandma, how are you going to ask your brother about it?". She asked.
" Haha...I can see you are really funny". Her grandmother said and tapped on her back.
" You see, although I wasn't born as an underwater supernatural being, the fact that I was born there makes me a member of them. So I have something behind my ears which is the ticket to my kingdom because I'm a royal .. come and let me show you". She said and Layla pushed closer to her. She took off her long white hair from her ears and Layla saw two white Angels wing behind her ears. She exclaimed.
"Wow!, Grandma, this is marvelous!..wow". She shifts back to her place.
"Yeah, it is. And another marvelous thing about us is that we live for a long time before we vanish away..we don't die unless we are killed during a war or we decide to vanish away by ourselves". She said and Layla's mouth was open like an opened place with her white teeth scattered out.
" My dear, close your jaw or they will fall off..for I'm not done talking". She teased.
Layla closed her mouth and glanced at her Grandmother who was laughing at her.
"So Grandma tell, how old are you now?". She asked.
" I have lived for over thousand years, and I gave birth to your mom when I was 800 years old and your Grandfather was 40years then". Layla was over the room. She stood up looking at her Grandma as if she had grown horns.
" Will stop glancing at me like that". She laughed.
" You mean you have lived over a thousand years and you are still this sweet?". She asked.
"Of course my dear, but when the world became a modern world, I reduce it to what people thought I was". She said.
"And what age did they give you". Layla asked.
"That was when I gave birth to your mom and I was 800 years old, but I was looking like a young girl in her late 25years old". that only was enough to amaze Layla. She was completely dumbfounded and sort of words.
"My dear, I promise to tell you more. Now I learned you haven't even eaten since this morning, so let us go and eat". She said and smiled then stood up. Layla who was already on her feet followed her out with her face beamed in confusion.

On the other hand, the zombie-like demons disappeared immediately after Dela was up with Hosea. Who will see dead and decide to stay, that was the case.
Dela bent down to Hosea's level and asked her.
" Are you alright now?". He asked and touched her forehead.
" Hmm..I think I need some minutes". She said and gave him a reassuring smile and he returned it.
He turned and saw Lily, he didn't want to go closer to her again. In case she got mad and yelled at him again. He then saw her father helping her from the floor and then took her in his arms and they went away.
King walked to Dela.
" So, you're one of them right? Dela asked.
" What do you mean". King furrowed his eyebrows.
" You're a demon! You called yourself my friend but you never cared to tell me that you were supernatural too". Dela said.
" Dela, I wanted to".
" But you didn't right". Dela cuts him off.
" You truly know that I and Luca are not friends, you should have told me that you were his bodyguard". Dela said.
" I'm not his watchdog!". King said.
" But you are serving him, right? I won't even be shocked if I hear that you are involved with what is happening to Lily. The same thing goes for Aziz and Steve. Now, I don't even know who to trust anymore. The only person I trust more than myself is Hosea". He said and Hosea stood up.
" Dela, it isn't what you are thinking. I am not planning anything against you". King said.
" Just shut up! I saw everything when I was under the water, so many things were reviewed to me. You are all bunch of liars!". He snapped.
" Yeah! You're are right. We get it, okay. We're a bunch of liars! That's what we are, you can't rub it away from our faces". Luca said.
" I have no business with you, Luca. Let me just give you guys this warning. I don't want to see any of you lairs near me, Lily, or Hosea. Or if you think you have grown wings that are higher than you, I will cut them off. And also none of you should dare cross the line or else I will roast you to bits". He said and held Hosea in his arms after changing his clothes.
But at that time, everything was back to how it was earlier on. The thing that was changed was the swimming lesson, it was canceled and rescheduled. So it was a free period for the student. They just sat to gist and have fun.
When Dela and Hosea got to the classroom, Dela went straight to where he used to sit with king and started packing his stuff from there.
" So, where are you going to sit?". Hosea asked.
" With you of course". He answered simply and when he was done packing, he went straight to Hosea's seat. he met Collins there and saw that he was resting his head on the desk. He tapped the desk and he looked up.
" I'm very sorry to disturb you, but please can we switch seats?". He asked.
" Why?". He whined.
" Is nothing, but I just want to sit with my friend, and also I just don't want to sit there again. Please can you let us change seats". He pleaded and Collins nodded.
"Sure!". He said, stood up, and packed his things. Dela thanked him and he went away to his seat. Dela sat down and patted where Collins was sitting and asked Hosea to join him.
Hosea sat beside him.
