Chapter 8 - Ch:8 Aunt Merry

Caspara border city is the defence line between two empires, The Hunangfu Empire and The Adel Empire. Helena, wife of late Crown of Rosewood Kingdom escaped into The Voldemort Kingdom of Adel empire.

How she didn't get caught? Because she ran for six months before passing through One of the most dangerous places on the Cerulean, The Everlost Forest also known as the Forest of Spirits among top powerhouses of the Continent. The forest is shrouded with unknown mysteries and dangerous enough that even Titled Legends may lose their lives if they go deeper.

As why she didn't encounter any danger its because of the baby she was carrying in her embrace. Yes the baby, although it sounds unrealistic and mysterious, but its the truth.

At the border of Everlost Forest was the small village of Kroton 10 kilometres away from the city. The reason of its existence was because of the fertile lands surrounding it. Most of the food supplies (rice, wheat, vegetables and meat) comes from this village.

The City of Caspara, a border town that acts as a strategic fortress to protect the Adel Empire against any invasions from the Huangfu Empire.

Though it was only a town in the beginning but over years its size gradually increased to form a city. The city has two sections, inner city area where trained soldiers, rich merchants, nobles, guilds , official buildings and higher military officials stay.

In the outer section of the city, where lower-ranked soldiers and common citizens reside, lies the slums at one far end. Here, you find beggars, poor peasants, a red-light area, and a black market.

This area represents the darker side of the city, with the bright lights casting shadows. The slums stand as a stark contrast to the city's grandeur, characterized by unlawfulness and crimes like rape, murder, and robbery were common. Surprisingly, even though it's a strategically important border city, the wealthy inhabitants tend to overlook these issues.

Two silhouettes were seeing walking through the dimly lit alleyway of the outer city,one was a well prorortioned beautiful female lady in looking like in her mid 30s with over sized breasts and plump buttocks. A cute child was holding her hands and walking along side with slow rhythmic pace.

Yes they were Helena and her son Zeun

Soon they walked out of the alley and headed straight towards the inner city walls. They stopped few blocks away from the inner walls before a closed wooden three storey building. The name of the building was beautifully drawn on a sign board near its entrance 'Happy Inn'.

The door was closed yet Helena knocked on it multiple times until an annoyed lady similar to Helena 's age open the door.

She had a well built body with naturally tanned skin. A round beautiful face with brown hair and black eyes. Her boobs were hugged by a tight fitted leather blouse. She had a perky bottom and long legs. She was another wild beauty like mom.

Her annoyance soon turned into joy when she saw the familiar face of her best friend standing there. She warmly welcomed us inside.

"Hi Merry how Have you been??" Mom asked as she entered the inn hugging her best friend.

Merry hugged her back as we sat on a nearby table, Mom introduced

"Merry, this is my son Zeun and Zeun this is my best friend, you can call her aunt Merry"

"Hello Aunt Merry" I greeted her

"Hello Zeun, How have you been?" Aunt Merry greeted me with a hug. My face was between her jiggly assets, she released me and I was gasping for breath.

This was the first time a woman besides mom hugged me. I was embarassed as my face turned slightly red. She chuckled looking at my red face.

"Helen, your son is too cute to handle. Will you give him to me?" She asked with a teasing tone.

Mom flickered aunt's forehead "ouch ouch . How mean, I just wanted to help him teach something interesting about us women"

Mom became a little annoyed as the conversation was not going somewhere else. My ears perked up and I listened to the conversation with full attention.

Mom squinted her eyes at me and I flinched then turn my head avoiding her gaze and started looking around at the cracked walls and broken chair and tables. I was so focused as if admiring the most beautiful piece of art that's present in the world.

Mom sighed looking at my behaviour as if someone caught you when you were just going to steal. But how can she not know her son whom she had raised from her womb. She twisted my ears and looked at aunt, "wow wow woooo, Mom it hurts. " I looked at her as if she had wronged me.

"Merry, you still have that flirty habit of yours, let me warn you. You shall get into trouble because of this one day. Also remember that our party is no more....." Mom started her long lecture as she scolded aunt Merry.

"I know and stop behaving with me as if I am the same old child. I even have a daughter now who is older than your son and I am just teasing my nephew what's wrong in that?" Aunt retorted...

"Yes IT IS wrong because he is my son....." Mom emphasizes.

"You are being selfish and unreasonable..." Aunt Merry said with fake tears in her eyes as if she was wrongly accused.

...

...

As the two went on with their bickering,I had a feeling that a big sister was scolding her younger sisters' mischieves.

I was happy to see my mom being herself after so long. I didn't interrupt them as I watched them closely with imaginary sunglasses and a popcorn packet in my hands munching on them.

God knows after how long Helena and Merry realised something together as they turned towards the third chair on their table. They saw Zeun sleeping adorablely while sitting.

"Sigh, he told me that he was hungry before coming here but we were so engrossed in ourselves that we completely forgot about him" Helena said with a sigh.

Merry also sighed apologize " Sorry, I was so excited about you that I completely forgot you son too."

"Don't worry , I am at fault too. I too was happy seeing you after almost 7 years." said Helena .

"Yeah. We were like a family during those days." added Merry reminiscing about the past. " But what will you do now? I can feel that something is not right seeing your attaire and where is Paul?"

"Lets talk about it tomorrow, first give me a room"

"Okay. We shall talk about it late. But Helen, I don't think your boy is simple. There is something about him bugging me though I can't actually pinpoint it." added Merry.

"Oh. One of your abilities is to partially feel the future right? Did you use your ability on him?" Helena said with a frown, she knew that her son will face many downs in future but she didn't expect it to be this soon Merry's abilities were to 'feel' the immediate future.

Merry's accuracy about prediction was on a different level, though it has its short comings like even if predicted the future up ahead, she couldn't tell the exact cause or time of its occurence about it. She could only warn them beforehand.

Through trials and errors she had deduced that the future she predicts can be as immediate as a few hours to as long as a year. Although it seems pretty much useless to some people but it has its own benifit if you think deeply about it.

For example :

If you know that walking on 'a path' would cause you and accident, you could take a longer path to minimize or avoid the accident. Or you can take another means like jumping on roof or flying to avoid 'a path' as you don't know which path in perticular.

The short commings of her ability was cooldown of one month and she would be extremely weakened in that month.

"Nope, I didn't use my ability on him. I used it two months ago on my daughter and some signs indicates the intertwined of her and Zeun's fate...." after a pause Merry continued " .....But the beginning won't be happy. But I can feel that both of them will be alive, it won't be a life-threatening one but a psychological one. May be like torture or assult...not sure myself "

Helena's brows frowned as she was thinking deeply about something ," You mean if they do not meet each other then their fate would not intertwine??"

"Can't say for sure Helena. But I have a gut feeling that its better they don't meet. And I also feel that you should return to your village. I am getting an uncomfortable feeling from that ability. Its the first time I am feeling it though, its as if my ability can not judge what is a good future and what is a bad future for your son." Merry paused and saw the complicated feeling in her best friends eyes.

She sighed and continued "I will use my abilities on your son tomorrow before I say any further but just that you know, I have a positive vibe coming from this. So don't worry much."

Helena's eyes brightened for the first time. She had an expectant gaze longing for her son's happiness as a crystalline tear droplet rolled down her otherworldly beautiful face.

"Thank you..." she chocked as she soon broke into tears into her friends arm.

A heart wrenching pain assulted Zeun as he heard his mom's sobbing — how burdened and pityful his mom was ' so she always hid so much pain and sorrow inside her and I never knew' he thought.
