As they all sat down, each of them with their own thought while waiting for their mother to finish refining the sacred water and seed and not long after, there was a reaction from her.
Chloe has been a real beauty goddess and even after what befell her, there's still the semblance of her beauty that make anyone to still acknowledge her beauty.
After the catastrophe though, her beauty diminished by a lot, her once tender skin become old and saggy with a lot of trinkles, her hair also lost their luster and had become grey. People who don't know her will think she has spent over a century alive yet she hasn't cross half of that.
Right now though, it feels like when an insect is going through metamorphosis – like a caterpillar coming out of its cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly.
The first thing that changed on her is her grey hair that begin to fall off while new black hair growing in its place at an incredible speed. The new hair that replace the old one continue to grow until it reach her waist and glow brightly even under the reflection of the little light in the area.
While still been attracted by the mesmerizing hair, the sound of something crashing of the floor caught their attention. When they look at the direction of the sound, they were shocked beyond words.
What they discovered is the skin of their mother falling off from her body like a baked clay and crashing on the floor breaking into further pieces and some turning into dust.
Never in their wildest dream will they ever imagine something like this could happen and if they are not seeing it with their own eye and they were told about it, they will think the person who told them have some screw missing in his head.
But right in from of them, they can't identify whether they are in reality and in a dream at the moment. What they experience so far still feel surreal and with this happening right in from of them, they don't know if they should believe if this is real or they should try to wake up from their dream.
The baked skin kept falling off and what surface underneath it is the fair of the fairest skin, even from looking at it and not touching it, they could feel the softness and tenderness of the skin – spotless beyond compare.
They couldn't help but try to imagine what has happen inside her that could cause this level of transformation.
At the moment inside Chloe's body tremendous changes has happened and still happening. Before now due to sacrificing her soul power in order to escape, all the energy in her has been drained to the last drop with a seal that cause her not to be able to generate any energy to replenish the lost energy.
But now the seal has been broken, and the sacred water that contain inexhaustible energy fill her up with much energy needed to fill her system and bring her back to the level of power she possess before and beyond, not stopping but continue to climbing and it seem the energy the sacred water provide is enough to push her to the next level.
While the sacred water continues to fill every lurks and crannies of her body with energy, the sacred seed already settled in her core, strengthening the weaken soul and refining it to become strong and removing every crack on it.
The process continues until the core become as big as a basketball and shone brightly to the point that it reflect outwardly causing another shock to the three that has been watching that changes that is happening to their mother.
The light continue to shine until it covers her completely causing her to become a light being and refining her body, making every part of her body to become transparent with light patterns moving inwardly in her body.
Her bones and every of her organ are being refine by the light, turning them to jade like and very smooth with runes surfacing on them that shines with golden light and becoming part of her body.
After the whole process of restructuring has been completed, the light recedes, becoming one with her skin and everything returns back to normal.
But at this moment, what use to be normal is no longer normal and a new definition has been established in the family of four.
A family that has been written off in the history of human has been reformed and renew, ready to make a come back and change the narrative of things.
Even them, don't know the kind of storm that is brewing because of the changes that has happen to them and how much they will affect a lot of things.
A new path has been formed and a new journey is about to begin. None of them know where this path will lead to nor did they how it will end, but nevertheless, they won't falter and won't look back because unfortunately for them, there is no back to look at, all they can do is to move forward continually non-stop.
After completing the refinement of the sacred water and seed, Chloe open her eyes which shone with very bright golden like that causes her three children to avert their gaze while shivering after making a brief contact with the eyes.
After a while, the golden light fades, revealing a beautiful hazel eyes that fascinate everyone that look at it.
The room was silent with no one saying anything until Chloe break the silent.
"You all should retire into your room, we will discuss the next step to take after this tomorrow."
"Okay ma" the three replied in unison.
"Nicolas, make sure you keep the remaining sacred water and seed carefully." Chloe said while looking at Nicolas.
After what transpire, she discovered that the worth of the sacred water and seed is beyond her initial valuation and realise how much it worth.
For something like this, it must be safeguard properly and be kept secret from others no matter what.
"Why don't you keep it mum." Nicolas said removing the flask that contains the sacred water and seed and giving it to his mum as he also has realised the worth of the thing inside these water flasks.
"You keep it." Chloe replied
Her three children look confused, because they thought it will be safer if it's with her yet she said Nicolas to keep it, none of them knows what their mother is thinking at the moment.
"Mum, won't it be safer with you?" Tabitha asked, wanting to find out why her mother ask Nicolas to be the one to keep it.
"He is the one who brought it, isn't it?" she replied, "then he should be the one to keep it."
They couldn't wrap their head around this logic, yet they decide to let it be and the sacred water and seed remains with Nicolas.
