MY HEART (REUNION OF LEO AND DEO)

A YEAR LATER

John slept and had the same dream both Fawrus and Fawmus had, and it felt so real. John told uncle James, Adetutu, and Adewale about him having the same dream and they all agreed to meet each other at Martin's home to discuss the dream and find an answer to it.

Uncle James, Adewale, Adetutu, and John all sat down around the dining table. Anmer was placed on the dining table, and uncle James and John sat down beside each other, same with Adewale and Adetutu. John said ''am not in agreement that we should open Anmer''.

''We have to. That is the only way we can know about the dream and I think there is more to the dream'' said Adetutu.

''I don't believe that this book has answers to all questions and according to you. You said only gods’ blood can open it and I don't see any god among us'' said uncle James to Adetutu.

''What do mean by that? What about me and A, are we not gods?'' said Adewale to uncle James.

Uncle James smirked and said to Adewale ''you may be gods but not in this lifetime. You are humans just like everyone else in this lifetime''.

"I don't think we are humans at all, uncle. Guns can't kill us or any human weapon. We can only die of old age and our body will heal itself when injured. Does that happen to humans? No. We may be living human lives but we are gods. I think It's time we all accept who we are'' said Adetutu to uncle James.

''Nice speech except me. I don't know how am connected to you both or if am also a god'' said John to Adetutu.

''That is why we need to ask Anmer about the dream. Am sure finding out about the dream will also help us know how you are connected to us'' said Adewale to John.

''What if Anmer tries to kill us if it sees our question as a bad question or question that shouldn't be asked'' said uncle James.

''It won't, uncle. We are not asking a question for our selfishness or question that has to do with divine stuff, we just want an answer about John ''said Adetutu to uncle James.

''Okay, if you say so. Now, how do we go about it?'' asked John.

''We are all going to try using our blood to open Anmer'' said Adetutu.

''What do you mean by all? Am not a god'' said uncle James.

''But you are a supernatural being, so we are all trying our blood'' said Adetutu.

John placed his hand on the circle in the middle of the maze and the circle spun cutting through John's palm. Blood came out of the cut and went into the circle then John removed his hand from the circle and the cut in his hand healed up. John's blood went into the maze on four different paths.

Uncle James, Adewale, Adetutu, and John were surprised to see how John's blood worked its way into the maze. John's blood tried to fight through the maze to get to the four circles outside the box but couldn't and it dried up.

Uncle James laughed at John immediately after John’s blood dried up in the maze and said to John ''you are not a god, John''.

''Let's try yours, uncle'' said Adewale to uncle James.

''Now watch and see what a supernatural god's blood like mine can do'' said uncle James (proudly) to John.

Uncle James placed his hand on the circle and the circle spun and cut through his palm then blood came out of the cut into the circle. Uncle James removed his hand and the cut closed up then his blood went on four different paths into the maze.

John annoyingly laughed at uncle James because uncle James's blood didn't get anywhere in the maze before it dried up, and that made uncle James angry. John (annoyingly) said to uncle James ''I thought you said your blood can open Anmer. Your blood is much worse than mine. See the supernatural god''.

''This book must be insane. How could my blood just dry up so fast? I don't believe in this book'' said uncle James in anger that his blood dried up quickly in the maze.

''Now It's my turn. Let's see if my blood can open it'' said Adewale.

Adewale did the same thing and his blood went into the maze on four different paths.

Adewale's blood stayed for a long time inside the maze and his blood fought very hard in the maze to get through to the circle outside the maze. Unfortunately, only the blood that went on the path that led to the circle at the top outside the box was able that get to it and the others dried up.

Everyone was surprised that Adewale's blood made it to one outer circle.''Now that's what we called a true god'' said John to uncle James, mocking him.

''This book is crazy. Isn't it supposed to open at least the blood made it to one circle'' said uncle James annoyingly.

''Uncle, how many times do I have to explain to you that it can only open if the blood gets to the four outer circles, not one'' said Adetutu to uncle James.

"Okay, have heard you" said uncle James.

''Now it's your turn, Miss Deo'' said John with a smile to Adetutu.

''Okay. Let's see if my blood is more powerful than everyone's blood'' said Adetutu with a smile.

Adetutu did the same thing and her blood went into the maze on four different paths.

Adetutu blood stayed a very, very long time and didn't dry up inside the maze. Adetutu blood was finding a way to get through the maze to get to the four outer circles. Adewale, John, uncles James, and Adetutu get bored watching the blood then they leave Anmer and go out to get something.

The four of them came back to see Adetutu's blood remains inside the maze and that surprised them. The four of them cooked, ate, and did some other things but still, Adetutu's blood remained inside the maze fighting through it. John and Uncle James later left the dining room to the living room while Adewale and Adetutu stayed and continued to watch the blood.

EVENING

John woke up and saw uncle James asleep on another sofa opposite him in the living room, then he stood up thirsty and made his way to the kitchen to get something to drink. John got to the dining room before getting to the kitchen and saw Adewale and Adetutu also asleep in the dining room seated next to each other. Their heads were placed on the dining table and Anmer at their front on the dining table.

John walked past the both of them to the kitchen and rinsed his face on getting to the kitchen then went to open the refrigerator and took a soft drink (can) from the refrigerator. John returns to the dining room and opens the soft drink along the way.

Upon getting to the dining room, John sat down on a chair opposite Adewale and Adetutu then he gulped the drink and decided to take a closer look at Anmer. John became astounded upon taking a closer look at Anmer because he saw the blood on the path to the up, down, and left circles outside the box nearly there but the one on the path to the right outer circle was halfway there.

John dropped the drink in his hand on the table excitedly and tapped Adewale and Adetutu telling them to wake up. Adewale and Adetutu became conscious but didn't open their eyes or raise their heads because they were still feeling sleepy. Adewale asked John ''what is it, John? Can't you see we are sleeping?''.

"It is the blood'' said John (excited) to the two of them.

''What happened to the blood? Has it dried up?'' Adetutu asked John.

''No. They are near to the outer circles'' said John excitedly.

Upon hearing John say that to them, Adewale and Adetutu quickly opened their eyes and raised their heads. Adewale and Adetutu looked at Anmer to check if John was joking or lying but were astounded to see John was telling the truth about the blood then they were happy. Adewale said unhappily ''but the last one is half away''.

''Let's pray it makes it to the circle'' said Adetutu.

Uncle James was awoken by screams that disturbed his sleep while sleeping but his eyes were still closed because he thought the screaming was from the movie Adewale and Adetutu might be watching. Uncle James said ''would you please turn down the volume of the TV'', but no one responded to him nor did the screaming stop.

Uncle James called John’s, Adewale's, and Adetutu's names telling them to turn down the volume of the TV but there was no one response and the screaming continued, then uncle James opened his eyes in anger to tell them to turn off the TV but fear gripped him with what he saw. Uncle James realized where he was when he opened his eyes and quickly stood up looking around him to see humans screaming in agony. Uncle James recognized his surroundings and asked himself ''am I dead again?''.

''Welcome back to the underworld, Domien'' a voice came from behind uncle James, then uncle James looked back to see a man standing and dressed in all black.

Uncle James asked the man ''you mean this place is the underworld?'', as he turned to the man.

''Yes, and am sure you know this is the third time you are back here'' said the man to uncle James.

''Yes, but I was killed the last two times I was here and now I wasn't killed, so how am I here?'' asked uncle James confused.

''You here because I summon your soul'' said the man.

''Who are you? How are you able to summon my soul and why ?'' asked uncle James curiously.

''I need you to do something for me, Domien'' said the man and smiled, then the man's face changed to a horrific face. Uncle James screamed upon seeing his face.
