I am relieved to be here , finally after we hunted for the place,our cook was slightly older than his memories...
I thought things would go smoothly but I should have known all dark evil secrets have a way of stiffling everything around you , it is the reason I tune into my love for Jason to keep my mind grounded.
I did not think I would miss Jason so much. The way he would look at me and I would know he wanted me closer as his eyes would go blue from green. He was so easy to read it was his special aura making him just so beautiful , also I would see some of my favorite memories in flashes making him so special.
My favorite person in all the known world has to be Jason but my mother could become a favorite person as well. I decided to rush into the caves as soon as we got there. It was a mistake as I got lost inside the catacombs of the cave. I could hear the others calling and I tried calling them. I must admit I was afraid.
I definitely did not want to die in this cave especially when I found the place where many statues were , I had no idea so many people were turned to stone. Frozen into a stone state it was strange seeing them like that....
I was not sure which one was my mother but I had to choose between three ladies as the rest were all men. I felt a connection with one of the statues at the back of the group and this made me decide to touch the statue. When the statue defrosted as I could not think of a better term, she first collapsed, making me so very afraid of what to do next.
She was my mother but she looks so young maybe a bit older than me but not by much. I am unsure what I must say to her. " Is your name princess Camelita, are you my mother..." my voice trails off unsure of myself as I am.
My mother stands up and dusts herself off and sure enough I recognize her as she is definitely my mother. I am surprised and happy to find her but is she still my mother mentally or has her mind been altered as well. I had used her name when I lied to Jason about who I was after the ship wreck, I hope I look like her as she is beautiful. She has been here for eight years now since I was eleven years old. It must be a shock for her as I am now grown up.
"Antineba, is this you...?" she mumbles trying to make her lips move.
I am stunned and overjoyed as I hug her crying tears of pure joy " Yes, mama its really me!"
After hugs and kisses we hold each others hands and its hard to believe that I really have my precious mother back. We speak at the same time and ask the same question, " Why have you not aged?" she asked " Why have I not grown older ,you seem to be my age it's so strange..."
I tell her all I can in as little sentences as I can to save time, she is stunned to learn my father and I have become horribly estranged from each other.
"I have my work cut out for me as I have to remind your father of his duty as a father," she says. I tell her she has not aged and my father has, he might not recognize her as he would expect an older version of her to who she is. He might think she was possessed by some evil spirit or something.
My mother says she will become a servant and she gives me a special talisman "Keep this around your neck as it will protect you if those mother-in-law's you mentioned tries to hurt you, they won't be able to kill you."
My mother also tells me she will go back to Persian empire and become a maid as I was a servant on board the ship ,she will work at the palace. She says she is confident she can win my fathers love back, he might not know who she is but he will definitely still have a connection with her. She was sure she could easily win him over. She said that with a wink and a smile and I believe that she can do just that...
