Zuma look up to the dark blue sky that was covered with white fluffy cloud.
He returned his gaze to the body besides him, he has been doing a good job watching over the dead body for over five hours now.
He thought if he should go check on the child he left with the two green tail mermaid to hand over to the queen of the sea. But at the same time he has to watch over the deceased body, he can't leave her body alone here. what if he leaves her and came back to find the body missing.
He trusts queen Atargatis enough to take good care of the prince child. so he just let his thought about the prince child slide from his mind.
Five hours has passed since he left the prince, he made up his mind it was time to go check on the prince and break the new to him.
He gave one last look at the body of miss Avyanna, assuring himself that she would be fine alone here.
He slowly move into the part of the forest where the prince was that was not too far from the shore of the sea.
When he got there, it was two body that was lying in the ground where the prince was kneeling, he was not surprised to see the queen laying dead besides her husband body because he knew it was bound to happen.
The prince kneeled there besides the deceased body of his parents with a blank expression, his face showing no emotions.
Queen Brigitte passed away two hours after the king her husband died.
Prince Aziza kept on replaying his mother dieing wish in his head.
"Son", the late queen called out to her son before she died, "I have a wish", she said in wispher.
Prince Aziza only nodded at her with a small smile telling her to go on.
"B_bury me and your father in one coffin", tear spill out from her eyes as she made her request.
For several minutes silence fill the forest, without any one of them saying a word.
"Okay", the prince responded to her request in a void cold voice that Break her heart into million pieces.
Prince Aziza didn't know how long he kneeled next to his mother watching her face after he had closed her eyes, until he felt someone gaze on him.
He turned his head to look at Zuma. Tho, Zuma was a shadow like creature on land that has no actual face and only him could see him.
He could tell and feel by the look of his face that he was worried and hiding something firm him.
Zuma was not a creature that hold emotions, he wonder why he was wearing a worried expression.
Zuma has been with him for years now and he had come to understand what kind of creature he was and how he felt. All this years he had never seen him this worried.
Realization down on him when he remembered he had sent Zuma along with his lover and unborn child.
"I hope you have good new for me?," prince Aziza question him with a cold stern voice and blank expression.
Why is he looking at me like that?, why is he speaking to me like that?, what did I do?. it was never my fault he lost his loved ones, Zuma thought to himself.
About that, I have something to show you, Zuma said without thinking. And you have to follow me.
Without wasting no time, the prince stood on his feet from the spot he has been kneeling for hours. He walk to the direction where Zuma was and said,
"LEAD ME THE WAY"
Zuma slowly moved along side with prince, he mentally hoped the prince will not go berserk at just the sight of his dead lover.
On getting to the shore of the sea, Zuma moved his gaze to the direction of the deceased body without saying a word, hoping the prince would not question him and would also follow his line of sight.
The prince stood in his spot staring at Zuma who was not saying anything and was looking at a particular spot. he moved his gaze from Zuma to look at where he was looking at.
When his eyes fall on the body of a lady that looks like his lover who was laying down on top a large rock with her eyes closed, as if she was in a deep sleep, he laughed out a dry dangerous laugh.
"...." wait why is he laughing, Zuma mentally asked himself.
"What the fuck is going on here", Zuma heard the prince voice that was filled with anger, pain and rage.
He could feel the dangerous aura coming from the prince. his emotions going blank and dark. Any moment from now he was sure that the prince would go berserk.
I'm sorry we lost her after she gave birth to your child and after that, the ship crumbled into the sea and.... Zuma words were cut short by the prince.
So you are telling me she is dead. the only woman I loved to heart is gone. and you think I'm going to buy that lie, the prince said with a dark smirk.
Why would he think I lied about something like that, Zuma thought to himself.
The prince slowly moved close to the body of his deceased lover. A lone tear slipped past his empty red eyes.
There was no sound coming from her heart, he tried waking her up by calling her name and shaking her body, but received no response.
Prince Aziza hands turned into fist, unable to believe that the two women he loved dearly was gone, first his mother and than his lover.
Prince Aziza anger know no bounds as he stood up, going far away from her body.
He could feel darkness taking over him, he punched the nearest tree, only for it to fall down with a loud thud in the forest.
Some of the tree and branches were quick to catch fire because of the boiling temper in the prince mind. his red eyes turned to pitch black, he had gone berserk.
Prince Aziza violently destroyed every and any thing in his part.
I knew this was going to happen, Zuma cussed under his breath. he decided to use his magic to hold the prince down before he would do something he would regret.
I will free him when the members of the council arrive.
Zuma muttered something under his breath and he snap his fingers and inone go, the prince stood freeze in his spot, he tried to move but couldn't.
He growled and snore loudly in anger. he turned his head to look at zuma, fire was blazing in his eye.
Now all we have to do is to wait for the council people to arrive, by than you would have turn normal, Zuma said playfully.
He look at the direction of the burning forest the fire was spreading fast, he manipulated water from the sea with his magic and quench the fire in one go.
For some odd reason, he felt really stronger than before. as if his lost power was restored.
Ummm, Zuma harrumphed when he remembered something, within a second he disappear from there, leaving the prince who was still growling loudly to watch over his deceased lover.
