Kahieli heared from Nimrod that Selah was constantly being woed and courted by the man at the grocery where they usually shop. He investigated about the man and found him suitable for Selah as Nimrod and Urchin said. Kahieli knew at the shop that Selah was getting uncomfortable when Ole was ruffling his hair. When he stood by her door that was slightly open he saw how her lonely eyes turned all her lenses white. He was happy that Selah was getting jealous but he is guilty for straining so much of her dismay and silent agony. He purposely walked in and acted as if he was not aware of her minimal clothing.
When he cornered her and saw that she was trying to held on herself from getting angry he wanted to tease her more but seeing her eyes shift from sorrow made his heart ache. He wanted to assure her that he is for him. But when he recieved a mesaage from Ole that the man at the grocery was bragging a selfie he shared with Selah. Kahieli's green eyed monster started to get riled up. He cornered Selah and tried to taunt her but when she said that he starting to scare her made Kahieli's mind run back at the selfie sent by Ole.
He allowed her passe by his side arms as he pressed the door locked.
Selah was surprised when he pulled her back on the same door and cornered her.
"Scared of me? But you were not scared with the guy at the grocery." Kahieli stated jut above her nose as he slid his hand on her waist and pulled her close to himself.
"That was a request. He won a bet with me and asked for it as a price." Selah replied as tried to avoid his touch.
"I want one. A selfie with you." Kahieli demanded.
"What?" Selah asked
"In this position take a selfie with me. Now." Kahieli ordered.
Selah just sighed and took one.
She sent on his gallery as Kahieli winked at her.
"Don't ever take a selfie with another guy." He warned and left Selah's room. She felt like her knees are getting wobbly. She sat on the floor and stared at the selfie. Her face started to get red.
Sycamore nod his head as he touched the painting. It showed a war Kahieli was overpowering the opponent. When a man with his thread ripped out his heart. He had hos goldsmith create it into a torch holder and captured Lila for his cult. Sycamore saw the same scenario as Saga described. Sycamore's eyes cried as he release his gift.
He started to weep bitterly after seeing that the painting they burnt before was Kahieli and Natalina's true self.
Urchin felt a sudden goose bumps as they exit the school gate. It was like someone is talking behind his back.
Ophir comforted Sycamore who looked devastated. Kiel died in such a painful way. And his wife is being used as a bloodline if a cult. Sycamore can't imagine what his own parents went through. Sycamore gulped in the warm water given by Ophir.
"You know your brave enough to carry amd bear such gift." Ophir spoke.
"Ole and I have the gift of hearing but you can see someone's story. I envy you." He added as he smiled at Sycamore.
"It was hard to forget it all. I felt like I am being put in into someone's life. And I should have the accountability to support them and provide secrecy. I felt like a memory card in a human version." Sycamore confessed.
"I kind of wanna regret what I said." Ophir chuckled.
"Do you want to see, Ole's childhood days?" Sycamore spoke.
Ophir beamed and nodded.
Sycamore took his hand and prayed
"O, God who is Almighty. I hereby humble myself that you would allow us to see a journey of someone precious to us. May you guide as all through out this revelation.Amen."
A little girl was playing by the fountain. She was humming as her black and white hair bounces. She glanced back and run toward Lehi. She started to clap her tiny hand and hug her mother. Her chubby cheeks got puffed up due to her crying. She was demanding her mother to bring her to where his father be. Lehi would assure her that she will be able to meet him someday.
Ophir blinked his eyes when the view got farther and they got back to reality.
"I can't show you everything. I said a glimpse." Sycamore stated.
Ophir stared at the photo of Ole and Urchin hugging each other. Urchin sent it to Ophir when he was teasing him.
Saga walked through the mountain that became a jungle. The tangled mass of overgrown thickets made the whole gang looked more alert.
"I bet this place was truly a home of sorcerers." Ain raised
"Yes, I can hear some whispering." Ophir informed.
Sycamore suddenly got his feet tangled and hand on a tree. Kennan used his lapiz lazuli to help Sycamore that was upside down.
"There are traps be careful." Ain warned but he fall in a pit as he yelled.
He instantly got back as he sliced the space.
"How lame." Sycamore and Saga blurted.
"Learn to be kind to me you two." Ain demanded as he walked thow and had himself almost got pierced by an arrow made of huge woods.
"I think they hate a nagger." Sycamore gigled.
"Shut it kid." Ain spoke.
Ophir clasped his hand and prayed.
"Our God who can resize everything on your own accord. I pray that you allow the bones, blood, salt water and stone that you have gifted me to be realised as we reclaim a territory that belongs to you. Amen."
Ophir got armed with bones. He looked like a greek god in his armour. As his skin displayed his blood flowing through his body. Saga and Sycamore clapped their hands in amazement.
The jungle got noisy as the place of ruthless survival and training begins.
