When they reached the palace it was already time for dinner and eva was already back from the chamber. After the dining table have been set by the palace maids ,eva told them to go and call the prince and the princess, it was when the entire family was seated at the table that is when Ossien realized there is a probability that eva was annoyed with him because since they came back she has been shrugging his question creating short conversation forcing him to lose interest and now there dining she always smiles and asks each of them about their day, and now eva is frowning and the dining table is awfully quiet looking at the kids he realizes that they to seems to be having the same thoughts he is having.

        “Hea is everything OK, you look disturbed” Ossien interrupts their meal and attempts to touche eva shoulder surprisingly she flinches and pushes his hand away.

        “Fareya, take your brother to the east wing and continue your dinner"eva says with a frown and a sharp voice.

      “But, Ma”

        “No but’s kaito stand up, get going” he pouts when he realise there is no convincing his mother otherwise, he rushes and follow his sister behind.

          When they were fully out of the dining room, she turns and faces Ossien.

        “I will ask you some questions and I want straight answer nofooling around”

         “OK,OK” Ossien replies as he odds his head fastly, it is moments like this he remembers how scary his wife can be when she’s angry.
      
       “What happened after the meeting?”

         “I fainted”

         “Why didn’t you tell me when it happened and when you came back”

         “b..because it …..Is kind of not that serious and definitely not important” he stutters as he replies

        “ARE YOU SERIOUS” she replies fuming with anger “I RUNTHE CHAMBER FOR GOD’S SAKE DO YOU REALLY THINK IWONT FIND OUT, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN KARTHATGET PASSES THROUGH THE CHAMBER EVEN NEWS OF CAT STUCK ON TREES, DO YOU REALLY THINK I WONT FIND OUT?”

         “i……I am sorry” ossien stutter as he tries to come out confident, he looks at her his eyes soft he watches her ad she runs her hand through her hair pacing back and forth.

        “why do you have to go back to your old habits” she stops in her tracks and ask with pleading eyes, her voice trying to come out calm and soothing, she sighs and continue “you are not the impaler any longer you are ossien ohikwo, elder of ohikwo clan, father to a very beautiful girl and a very handsome boy, you are my husband, you are mine so stop being an island we are all in this together” she says now standing in front of him he cups her face with his hand and kisses her forehead before hugging her tightly.

          “I am sorry, eva no matter how I try he will always be in here” he pointing to his chest “sometimes I forget that he is of the past and I am of the present” he says as he hugs her tightly contemplating whether to tell her what truly made hi faint; at last he decide to take a leap and tell her “I heard the CALL”. Those where the four words that Eva wished she never heard, her heart was breaking to a billion pieces in a matter of seconds after all Ossien has been through she thought fate will give him more time will give them more time, she staggers backward away from him shivers, tears filling her eyes threatening to escape, seeing her like that break ossien heart he felt pain all he could do was to comfort her, he stood up and hugged her tightly as faint sob escapes her mouth.

         After some minutes of sobbing she finally gets the strength to step backwards and look at ossien, her eyes getting all puffy from all the tears she have been fighting back, he uses his thumbs and wipe the tears off her face, and pulls back as he connects his lips to hers as they move in slow motion in perfect sync and harmony her lips taste like strawberry sweet and mouth watery, he can never get used to this feeling he always has in his stomach when he kisses her.

         After some moment they were pulled out of their heated session, he smiles as he watches her try to regain her composure and takes a deep breath.

         “So is it that you are going to be assassinated for going against Omarion?” she ask trying to be the strong wife she has always been only to be betrayed by her eyes which showed evident of pain.

         “No Eva, THE CALL doesn’t work that way if it will be an assassination I wouldn’t have heard THE CALL it only work when strings of fate are tempered with” he replies as he sees the disappointment on her face, trying to console her sadness he says “And just because I heard THE CALL now doesn’t always mean I will di…. Go any time soon but it just says it is near, know that I am hear now let’s take our time and enjoy what we have , love each other , be with each other , maybe even have another child” trying to crack a joke with the last part which clearly doesn’t feel funny at all.

           “That is not happening” she states obviously not finding it funny, he chuckles awkwardly and draws her closer for a hug “it will be all right” he says.

               Later that night ossien received a call from Jameel telling him that the crystal stated to blink again and that there is a possibility of having a location of a “T” in the area, the crystal lead them to an area near ethatn high lots of buildings are un-inhabited.

        “Are you sure this is the right place Jameel” doubting the location because of its placidness.

       “Yes your highness this is the location we got from the crystal, but Sire why are we here by ourselves? We could have sent a search and rescue team”

        “That’s because I can’t have this going into chamber database without full prove of any kind of violence or danger”. Their conversation was interrupted by a yelp in the alley a head of them as they entered the alley it was empty but voice and noise where heard from the other end of the ally, as they look towards the field through the alley they caught a glimpse of three men, two were wearing a black hooded coat, one of them wore black gloves and was holding a rope that seems to have electrical current running through It and it was tied to the third man keeping him glued to the top wall of a building been continuously electrocuted, looking closely Ossien recognized the man been electrocuted, it was the joggler from this afternoon that kaito showed him so he truly was a “T” after all and it seems the electricity is stopping him from moving, he seems to be in pain the part of the rope toughing his skin was burning him, his body was fading turning into ash, half of his face has crakes like roots growing and spreading out he was disappearing and reappearing  sparks of light was coming out of the cracks that are now spread all over his body, shockingly the second hooded man and went to the joggler and pins him to the wall with one hand use his other hand to draw out his dagger from his side “I cleanse thee filth of humanity” he says before he drives the dagger through his chest with force.
Ossien and Jameel watched in shock as the third man bleed to death, Ossein kept wondering ‘How can this people have so little regard for man, how can they be so heartless’ that pain only got worse till it ignited a fire in his heart that was long, long quenched, he walked out the open ground, his pupil dilated, his eyes changed blood shot red, his aura darkened, he craved blood he craved death and pain his past self-merging with his present bringing out a monster that was once on the surface, a feeling that Ossien was once familiar with, he closed his eyes and let the feeling take over.

         He brings out a flat circle metal object from his inner pocket and clicks the two buttons on the side and in a matter of second it reconstructed itself into a full constructed metal Bow, with that he places his index finger and middle finger on the rope making two arrow materialize, he aims and shoots the man holding the electrical rope in the chest as the other man rushes towards him he move his right hand as he swings the bow with force diagonally downwards hitting the man on the face making him to close his eyes forcing him to stagger backwards with that he whirls around and give him a back kick to his stomach making him to fall to his ass, fear plastered across his face ‘who is this man’ he thought to himself as he moves rapidly on the ground backwards with his hands trying to recompose himself.

             Ossien retracts his bow as he shift his coat sideways coming in view two empirrion steel daggers they are black from head to toe, they are daggers only created for males of the ohikwo clan imperial family been passed down from generation to generation, he pulls them out and places them I front of his chest one hand in the front while the other on the back the tips facing ahead crossing them making his stance, the other hooded man regains his composure he drew out his dagger and lounges ahead in a piercing motion, Ossien blocks him with his right hand pushing his sideways then moving ahead and driving the emppirion steal dagger through his shoulder before he could move Ossien bends down plunge the dagger through his ribs as the man hand went over his head, before twirling the dagger in his left hand and slitting his throat from left to right he watched as the man fell to his knees holding his throat trying to breath in air as he claws on them.

   There were blood stains everywhere, on his hands and in his face, Jameel just stood there in shock, it’s been long since he saw Ossien blood lust takes control of his king, when an Ohikwo embraces hatred the possibility of coming back is slim, if not for the love he has for his wife then he would have had a different destiny from what it is.

          Ossien walks over the joggler seeing his eyes, he saw the pain, the helplessness the man felt and something else that surprised Ossein even in his dying moment his humanity still presented itself, the will to survive, he reached over and close his eyes with palm as tears filled threatening to pour out, he hated this part of been him, he had this strength and power that people didn’t have his heart is too emotional he feels everything that happens around him every pain every grief every sufferings and destruction caused by people around him.

         He stood up and went to the body of the hooded men, their belt had a sigil that he will always recognize, a sword that has lines that surround him looking like it emits light and had a writing on the flat surface of the sword in ancient Dorian – DORIAN KHIGHTS.

        “This is their work Jameel, I need you to protect Fareya, and don’t worry about Kaito his path have been set since before my time” he says as he turns and stands in front of Jameel.

          “I promise Your Highness I will protect her with my life” he says as he places his knuckle on his chest and bows.

              In the far west a dark man with dark eyes and evil intent lived in his dark castle, knights in robes roam about in the castle, children taken from their family at young age forced into training to become heartless mindless beast. They kill without mercy to do the bidden their master, to follow a cause that has been tainted by man’s animosity, a mad genius doctor walks the dark and cold hallways of the castle grinning from ear to ear feeling boastful been in his masters grace, his inner circle, he smiles bringing graceful news to his master, he knocks on the giant door waiting for his master to answer, the man with the evil intent answered his servant, he watched with his cold eyes as the servant pushed open the giant door sideways, his servant enters and bows before handing him a glass tablet with pictures of two men butchered.

        “those are the remnants of the two black guard that were sent to karthaget for the cleansing of the new found “T” an Arrow was recovered it is made up of empirion steal My Lord” the servant says to his master looking at his feet afraid to look straight to his masters eyes.

      “who thought the impaler was still hiding under that shell image of a ruler, tell Dorian to order the knights to go into hiding, they should die down with no trace we will resurface when the time is right, Ossien is not a man to be underestimated his an ohikwo after all” He says with a bold voice and a deadly gaze.

        “Yes……..yes my Lord” the servant stutters scared half to death of the aura he is perceiving from his master, before he walks his master calls out to him.

         “Is frey still dating his daughter?”

        “Yes My lord”

       “That son of mine, won’t he ever learn”

         At the ohikwo palace Ossien has returned home pass midnight, drained from the activities that have pre-ordained, as he passed with the car he was surprised to see fareya still awake standing outside the balcony of her room, before he reached the front door she was already their waiting ‘guess she used the defier again’ he thought to himself.

         “Good evening Dad or morning don’t know which to use” she says as she comes smiling as she hugs him.

         “That defier I gave you is for emergency situation” he says trying to scold her.

        “But it is fun disappearing and reappearing”

     “Let’s go to the lake” he says with a smile as he watched her face in awe been robbed of all emotions.

        “B…..But Dad that place is scary at night” she starts to blush feeling all embarrassed and red when she realized that she just admitted to feeling scared.

        He pulls her close as they walk together “Fareya I want you to remember something when you become queen, any enemy of the clan external or internal, new or old is ancient it must have originated from the past before facing a strong enemy always check the past before you do anything, we have been here since the beginning and always know that the bond of family is strong and everlasting, together forever” he says as he patts her shoulder.

          It has been three years since that
horrid night Ossien looked for the Dorian knight up and down karthaget then whole of Ora but no sign of them it seems like they have disappeared one day he sneaked away from his guards in other for him to go to the archive secretly without been known, after he ditched his guards he felt as if somebody is following him he knew it wasn’t his guards after maneuvering his way he caught the man following him in an alley he points his bow and arrow at the man ready to shoot.

       “Raise your hand and turn around slowly or die” he says in a bold voice to sound commanding as the man turned, Ossien was shock out of his body ‘what is happening right now, how is this possible, is the real or am I imagining things’ the he tries his luck and see.

      “Who are you?”

         “I think I don’t need to introduce myself”

       “Kaito is that you?”

      “Yes Dad” Ossien eyes widened ‘it’s his voice’

      “Impossible”.
