67 At The Cemetery (2/2)

”My point exactly.”

”I cannot stay away from your side dear. 'Were' knew why we had to meet in the forbidden land and be bonded. Without you I am void, without strength and withoutreason for living. Are you going to stay by my side until we are done with this? ”

The young lady nodded affectionately. They looked at each other dearly. Without knowing, their heads were a centimeter close. After a minute, they were bussing before petting with heavy breaths...

Ochieng' was brought back to reality when he heard the tribe head giving his last remarks. It was already dark and torches were lit from every corner of the cemetery. He was sad for he was missing the lady he had been thinking about a minute ago. The lady was definitely Apeleka, his woman who was stolen from him during the day.

”Stay strong for my sake Apeleka. Whatever they do to you, just try and stay alive for I cannot take this course without you. I need you by my side my dear one. I am coming for you but how I wish our land was protected first...”

He uttered under his breath tearfullybut even before he was done, a large streak of lightning appeared on the sky followed by a loud earsplitting thunder. He saw the Supernal bracelet glitter. It then downed on him that his wish had been taken care of.

'It seems the bracelet only responds to a wish I make sincerely and when I make it subconsciously.'

Ochieng' nodded after coming into realization. It was almostthe third time he was seeing the bracelet in action. It could not take him too long before he was aware of what was really the case.

'Now that my land is safe, it is time to go and find her.'

He left that night without drawing attention. Hetook his white horse and drove it to the forbidden land. The horse ran at a breathtaking speed and after thirty minutes, they were already in that dreaded land.

”I really missed you brother, welcome back home.”

Ratong', the lion beast Ochieng' had helped transform hugged him with its wings with all smiles. The other lions also walked out to welcome him. They were extremely excited to have him back. After everything they had been through together, all the lion beast in Mudho's clan had taken Ochieng' as one of their own and loved him greatly.

”Ratong', I would like to talk to Jade Eagle, can you summon him here?”

”Definitely. He'll be here in a minute.”

After a minute, a large bird appeared above the lion beasts' home. Its flight was majestic and the way it looked at the dwelling places of the lions was like they were not places that other beasts lived in but some ordure. When its eyes landed on Ratong' however, it widened its eyes in fear. She was there when this beast transformed. The memories of that day were still green in its mind.
