15 Chapter - 15 (2/2)

Even when he was selected as the king of Asher's previous time, he made a replica of himself with all his good qualities. As he would be the King and would be residing in Asher for that period of time, Asher would dim his inner demon and maintain peace.

As it happened a long time again, no one was able to predict why it actually happened and how? As that was the first time in the recorded history that Asher chose Ashes as the king.

Everything was fine till now but what happened to Asher's Lord he had to live in hiding. Even though he cannot create lifelike Asher does, his powers are not any less so why is he trying to create an imbalance in the whole system.

As Sussan got more confused, she tried to keep the goal of saving her kin rather than defeating Ashes Lord. But when she was about to lose hope in finding him, she saw the team of five had been enjoying a feast with the guardian families from Ashes.

But what they ate looked different and Sussan thought it might be poisonous, so she hurried towards them to stop them from eating that. All the guardian families looked at one another and ran behind some cave.

It all looked suspicious to Sussan as till now she never saw anything like this cave which is made from pure ashes. She hurriedly tried to follow the guardians inside but before she could move further, Ashes Lord came out while grey ashes were falling out from his body.

”Greetings, Sussan. We meet again!” Ashes Lord bowed and showed his respect to the lady.

Sussan just stood in awe while looking at him and the ashes which now almost covered the Ashes Lord. Few of the guardian families started clearing the ashes and put it around the cave.

”Why? Why are you like this? Are you dying?” Sussan asked him.

”Yes. I am” Ashes Lord replied.

”Why are you here on our planet instead of Ashes”, Sussan asked.

”I will tell you everything but not here. Let us go inside that cave” Ashes Lord requested.

Sussan followed the path of ashes which was created by the Ashes Lord while he walked. She was not even sure if she could just walk on it like this. But almost everywhere she stepped on she saw ashes lying around.

”The answer to everything you asked and everything you want is in this book”, he handed over a grey book which is made of ashes.

Sussan took the book in her hands and tried to open it. Ashes Lord shivered and felt down. With great difficulty, he said,

”Not so fast, the book is me and I am the book. Only after I die can you open the book and it will answer all you want to know and even some which you do not want to know. I have been waiting for a long time to meet you. Remember even though you can use this book for now, but the rightful owner of this book is your son, Peter. When you meet Peter, you need to hand over the book to him and remember, no one must know of its existence except you and Peter! No one else must know”
