Chapter 12(final)

Rick
I swam to Zeus
“are my things intact?” I asked and he nodded
“hand me the red crab shell” I said and swam to the body of who used to be my mother
I examined it
Zeus gave me the shell
I shook it and some red tiny stones dropped on the body
They sunk in and the body turned red
“what are you doing?” Liliana whispered
“this is a very strong magic. If anyone’s spirit enters into this body, it would never come out no matter what” I replied
“wow, where did you learn all these?” Gavin asked
I chuckled
“I travel a lot. So I meet different people. Witches, wizards, sages, genies, and even fairies” I said
“fairies? But fairies are on the surface” Liliana asked
“you mean you’ve never heard of a water fairy?” I asked
She shook her head negatively
“when this is all over, I’ll take you to see one” I answered and she smiled
“done” I announced and stood up
“so what are we going to do now?” Gavin asked
“we need to take this body to Kintora. If she sees it, she’ll be transfigured into it and because of red stones, she will be trapped forever” I answered
“then, her soul will eventually move to Hades” Zeus added
I nodded
“so how are we gonna get to her?” Gavin asked
Immediately, a flock of ugly creatures passed
We were invisible, so they didn’t sight us
“Liliana, hypnotise them” I ordered
She moved forward and did so
She swam away, maybe to hypnotize more of them
I looked up
“I’m going inside. I’ll be back” I declared and swam up
Keisha
I just stole a poison potion from Zaire without her notice
It’s not really common because people consider it useless
It makes someone stop breathing for two seconds and that’s all
But Zaire has it for a reason, she collects it from people and has made sure that nobody has it
It’s because it is the only thing that can kill her
I learned that powerful witches can’t do without breathing for five seconds
So if one should pour three jars of this potion on her one after the other, then she is gone
I looked for a big jar and emptied the content in it
Then I tied it to my waist tail
It made it look like a refreshing jar
‘”are you ready to go?” Zaire asked as she came out
I bowed
“yes” I replied and she smiled
We took off, ready to meet Kintora
But I still don’t know how to get that body
Liliana
As I shipped the creatures to the back, I noticed someone who was swimming to the castle gallantly
I looked well and saw that it was Zaire
I looked beside her and saw mother
I grinned happily
I quickly signalled to her
She saw me and smiled
I swam to the back and told Gavin
He was so happy
We saw Rick coming back
”quick, assemble the creatures together. Make sure they obey you” he said
I nodded
“now follow me” he added
We followed him through the front with the creatures behind us
I didn’t know that Rick had ordered the creatures to hide the body between them until I asked him
I smiled and looked back
Hardly will you notice anything there
What a clever boy!
We moved into the throne room and saw a powerful combat
My mom was tied up and bleeding from the right arm
Zaire was giving Kintora a tough time
I hurriedly swam towards mother but a stray blow from Zaire met my tail
I yelped and fell down
My mom screamed
Rick quickly swam towards me
Kintora tried to strike him but Zeus blocked it
“you imbecile. You do not know anything!” she yelled and struck Zeus chest
He groaned and staggered back
The creatures ran towards her, they made her fall down
She tried to keep them away but they outpowered her
Zaire quickly used that to deal with her
She rose up and drained her powers from her
Kintora fell weakly
All her powers were gone
Zaire laughed evilly as she began to suck in her powers
We just watched her
“quick untie me” mother whispered to Rick
He quickly untied her
She clutched on a jar by her waist tail and swam stealthily (quietly and slowly without making any noise to be noticed) towards Zaire
Suddenly, Zaire began to suck our powers too while laughing evilly
She turned and my mom immediately hid behind a pillar
“you ingrates, you trust too easily. Now I am your ruler, you must bow to me because I am more vulgar, and mean and despicable ten more times then Kintora. I have sucked your powers and I will not stop with you. I will take all the citizens powers to be mine…….”
My tears began to fall
“Rick do something please.” I pleaded, hoping he had his own plans for Zaire
“wait for it” he said with a smile
I looked at Zeus and Gavin, they were all looking at mother
I looked at mother who was slowly opening the jar
“what is she doing” I asked him
“wait for it” he repeated
“no one will be able to stop me…..” Zaire finished
Mother quickly splashed a viscous liquid on her face three consecutive times
She screamed very very loudly that we had to cover our ears
She began to fall till she hit the floor and stopped moving
“did you say no one could stop you? But I just did” mother said
“whoaaaaa” I exclaimed and jumped up
Swam to mother and hugged her
Zaire was dying slowly
“you betrayed me” she muttered and we laughed
“look who’s talking” Rick stated
“ughhhh” Kintora screamed as she rose up
“I thought she was then” I said in fright
“quick the body” Rick said
“she is dead and my powers are back!” Kintora thundered
“hand me the diamond” mother said
Kintora laughed
“you think we’re still kids, when you can take everything that belongs to me?” Kintora asked
“huh” Rick, Zeus and I said confusingly
” we aren’t kids anymore sister” Kintora said
“sisters?” the three of us said again
Kintora struck towards us but we dodged
“the diamond isn’t yours” mother said as she struck towards her
“it is now” she replied and laughed
We tried to swim away but we got caught up in an electric nest from Kintora
“Oh no!” I exclaimed
A fireball met mother’s head and she fell down
Kintora laughed and brought out a sword
“good bye sister. My regards to mom and dad” she said as she lifted the sword up
Mother was too weak to retaliate
I began to cry and scream
Immediately, the creatures began to make loud grunting noises right behind Kintora as if they were going to devour her
She looked back and immediately, her eyes met the body lying before her
The sword fell from her hand and met mother’s leg
Mother winced in pain
“nooooooooo” Kintora yelled as she covered her face
Right before our eyes, her spirit in form of a red light entered into the body
Then another body fell down on the floor
Immediately, the nest vanished and we swam out
I quickly swam ahead towards mother
“mother” I said and hugged her
“Brianna” Zeus said and went to the other body
He held it up and hugged it
I disengaged from mother and swam to the body
“it’s Brianna” I declared joyfully
We all swam to her
She was unconscious and badly wounded
Her body was awful
My sister has gone through a lot
Slowly, people began to gather in the palace
Including guards and civilians
Everyone was free and everything had already changed
Rick stood up and narrated everything
The citizens were glad to be free again and finally
They disposed the body of Zaire and Kintora by turning them into stones and pounding them to ashes which were dissolved in the forbidden waters far away from Scalia
Authoress POV
After two days, Brianna woke up
Liliana noticed first
“Liliana, is that you?” a timid voice asked
She quickly turned back and saw Brianna’s eyes opened
She screamed and hugged her sister tight
She called on the rest and they hurried inside
They were so happy
They checked her out and she was perfectly normal in terms of magic and mentality
In fact, nothing changed about her
Only her tail remained paralyzed
She couldn’t swim
Mother explained it to be because of the changes her body encountered
But she also said it was a temporal paralysis
“can someone please help me with my bag” Kira yelled from the wheel chair
“I can’t reach my bag” she yelled again
Kara came running down from the stairs
She ran to the mantelpiece and took the bag
“I’m sorry, I mistakenly kept it there” she apologized and handed it to Kira
“thanks” she said
Melissa came down with her car keys
“girls are you ready?” she asked
“yes” they replied
“after school, we’re going grocery shopping because I invited Rick and Zeus for a sleepover” Gwendolyn said as she turned on the TV since it wasn’t her turn to take the girls to school
“they’re coming over for the weekend?” Kira asked
“they’re actually coming tomorrow. They will be going to school with you guys for this whole week” Melissa replied
“awesome!” the two girls shouted
Kara rolled Kira outside and they entered the car
The two girls were now living together at Washington DC, the US capital
They decided to bear their mermaid names and look identical
Rick came to the surface too
He lives with Zeus and they’re on their own
Under government supervision though, like other teenagers living by themselves (they were already 18years while Kira and Kara were 16)
Unfortunately, Kira couldn’t walk because of the impact of the paralysis but she was still living happily
Queen Keisha rules Scalia with love and peace
And once in awhile, her princesses visit her with their boyfriends
Prince Gavin… Well, he went back to being sarcastic and rude but in a funny way this time
Each and everyone of the six heroes namely, Keisha, Gavin, Rick, Zeus, Kira and Kara were adored and almost worshipped by the merfolk. Not only in Scalia but in the whole ocean
They were very popular and loved by all
Everyone came to the understanding that the end of evil is evil.
And the best way to make people look up to you is not by being evil, but by sacrifice even if it costs you something you cherish
The best way to be happy, is by making others happy

The End

GLORY BE TO GOD.

Chapter 11

Zeus
I opened my eyes slowly and saw Rick, Gavin and Brianna in the room
“he’s awake” Liliana said
“where are we?” I asked, because I thought we were supposed to be in the ocean
“we’re in a hotel room. In Miami” she replied
“we ran away from Kintora” Gavin stated
“but she’s not dead” I said
I was beginning to understand something
I stood up
“Brianna is now Kintora right?” I asked
“well, yes she is” Rick answered
“and if we don’t do something, Brianna is going to die right?” I asked again
They began to stare at each other
“uhm, how did you know?” Rick asked
“I don’t know. But I just know” I answered
“maybe you’re having new powers” Gavin stated
“yeah, maybe you have understanding like I have knowledge” Rick said
“is there anything else you wanna say?” Liliana asked
“let’s go back to Scalia” Rick said
“we just left Scalia” Gavin replied
I sat down on the bed and closed my eyes
I saw Keisha in prison
I opened it immediately
“let’s go back now. Keisha is in prison” I stated as I jerked up
“what” both Gavin and Liliana said
“did Kintora put her there?” Gavin asked
“yes, but she’s free now. Someone helped her” Rick said
“who” Liliana asked
“Zaire” I replied
“Zaire? No way, Zaire can’t help her. She’s working with the queen” Gavin said
“not anymore. She’s on our side now. Though I don’t know why” Rick said
“it’s because she has gotten more power. And because she wants to be the queen instead. Her reasons are bad. She just wants to use us for her own selfish reason” I replied
“oh no! What are we going to do?” Liliana asked
“we’re going to be ahead of her because we know her plan already” I answered
“then let’s start going” Gavin said
“we leave tomorrow morning by dawn” I said
Lilliana sighed softly
Rick smiled at her and she smiled back
What the heck is going on between this two?
Kintora
Time to execute my sister
My ugly sister
She was the best at magic
But now I’m the sovereign mermaid
I swam to a room where I enter only
It was my parents chamber
Our childhood picture is here
Everything about that ugly family of ours is also here
I smirked as I moved to the wall where a huge picture was displayed
I traced my hand through my parents image
“oh beautiful parents. It’s so sad to see that you are not here to witness my victory . I’m sorry for your death. I wonder who killed you. If only I knew who it was…….” I said sadly
“wait… I know who killed you. I DID… hahahahaha” I laughed away and banged the door to the room
Authoress POV
Immediately Kintora banged the door, the walls shook and her picture with Keisha that hung on the wall fell down and broke
Her image and her sister’s image were separated by the crack on the picture
Coincidentally, one of the colored objects used by her father to paint (he was a professional artist) fell from a cabinet
It was red and as it fell, it rolled on her part of the picture and drew an X
Zaire
I hummed as I prepared my potion
After its finished, it will have the power to create a mist that can turn every superior being into an inferior
And by inferior, I mean the smallest and less important
Kintora should get ready for this
Everyone knows that I’m the greatest when it comes to magic
I should be the ruler
And I need to use Keisha for it
She’s the only one that knows her sister’s secrets
I swam to the front where she was seated
“today is supposed to be your execution” I said nicely
“hmmm” she sighed then smiled
“thanks for saving me” she said
“don’t mention. I’m just fed up with Kintora’s ways. She’s supposed to be a good ruler. But she became vulgar. I feel so stupid for helping her all those years, but I’m changed now. Let’s deal with her once and for all” I stated
“you’re very right” she replied and I smirked when she looked away
Keisha
She thinks I’m a fool right?
I’m really wise
I know her plans
She can’t use me for her evil
Zaire can never be good
She was born a villain
And that’s what she’ll remain
But I need her spells
I’ll try my best to learn some of them without her knowledge
Or better still, I’ll just keep making her think I’m on her side, while it’s just going to be a turn of tables
But first, i need to think of how I’ll bring that body to Kintora without anyone’s knowledge
Liliana
These two brothers are the craziest
They taking us to look for Kintora’s former body
How’s that possible?
And they’re keeping me in charge
Why?
Ugh
Ugly things
“but why do we need her body?” I asked
“I can’t explain. Just do as I say” Rick said and swam ahead of me
“you disgust me” I muttered and he stopped and looked at me
“oh oh” Gavin exclaimed
“what did you just say?” he asked, not smiling
I moved back
“sorry” I mumbled
“Liliana take back what you said” he ordered with his eyes red
“why do you look possessed?” I asked
He frowned and swam away
“what’s wrong with him?” I asked looking terrified
“he doesn’t like what you said” Gavin replied
“but I was joking” I said
“you should definitely go after him” Zeus said
I nodded and took off
I swam through some corrals and saw him looking angry
I swam to him and gently placed my hands on his shoulders
“Rick I’m sorry” I said
He didn’t look at me
I swam to his front
“Rick, say something” I pleaded and raised his face up
Slowly his eyes came back to normal
He looked at me and I hugged him
“it’s okay. I…. I overreacted” he said
“just that, I hate those words. It always ruined my day” he added
I perceived maybe Kintora always told him that
“I shouldn’t have said it” I stated and he smiled and drew me up
“you’re beautiful” he mumbled
Wow
I wasn’t expecting that
“thanks” I said shyly
He bent his face to mine
He’s gonna kiss me
He’s definitely going to kiss me
Rick
I stared at her lips
I really wanna kiss her
I wonder what it would be like
I lowered my face and looked into her eyes
I read that if you are trying to kiss a girl, and she closes her eyes. It means she’s willing to kiss you too
To my surprise, Liliana closed her eyes
My eyes widened because I was expecting her to push me away
I smiled and placed my lips on hers
I applied all my theoretical knowledge about kissing
She held my arm and I held her face with my two hands
“uhmm hmm” someone cleared his throat
We looked back to see Gavin and Zeus
“sorry to disturb you but we found the body” Zeus said
“where?” I asked
“there” Gavin said, pointing at it just behind the bushy track
“and we’re right behind the castle!” Liliana exclaimed
“perfect” I stated as I looked through my open window.
