'The best way to succeed in life is to act on the advice we give to others. To look is one thing, to see what you look at is another, to understand what you see is a third, to learn from what you understand is still something else, but to act on what you learn is all that really matters. The truth is, we have all done things in our lives that we may not be proud of. This quote reminds me that people have the ability to grow and learn from their mistakes. I am definitely not the same person I was in my past. I'm not even the same person I was yesterday. The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.' 0000 THE DISGUISE (Part 1) 0000
"Tharollin, we need the bones." Tamara said softly. "You have to give it to us, your father really needs it."
"I know my father needs it, if Roen did killed the Mermaids as you told me, why is he still breathing and not dead for those years I have been down the Gate of Darkness?" Tharollin demanded. "Why is he still alive?" "We have been working on that, that is why your father said you should give us a little time." Tamara lied.
"Okay, time you say and time you shall have, until I see what you planned on doing to Roen and see it successfully carried out, the bones remain with me, and no way, will I use the bones for evil, you know me too well father." Tharollin said and turned his back to them to leave, his hands changing into the dark smoke.
"Why won't you give me my bones so that I can use that as an advantage against Roen and his family?" The water man demanded right away.
Stopping in his transformation, he turned to look at Tamara.
"You have the Priestess right? She can help you in whatever plan you want to carry out, in case you have forgotten father SHE IS A SORCERESS!" Tharollin yelled the last four sentences out. "Or are you no longer a sorceress?" "True, I am a sorceress, but have you met Roen's son? He is very powerful that our spells couldn't penetrate him. That is why we need the bones, then your father will be strong to defeat that stupid son of his." Tamara told Tharollin.
"She is saying the truth, Tharollin, Roen's son is a Tribrid and can't be killed easily, the only way we can get Roen is if his son is dead, and to achieve that aim, I will need my bones and be human once again." The water man said convincely. "Father, do not take me for a fool, I am not a fool. Let me ask you a question, and if any of you answer it right, I will give you your bones father." Tharollin said.
"Go on and ask your question." Tamara said, thinking of different ways to collect the bones or rather find the bones wherever Tharollin had hid it.
"If I was still inside the Gate of Darkness, won't you and the sorceress still find other means to destroy the man who had killed My Avonmora and her people? Or is there a secret motive you want to use your bones for, that you are not telling me?" Tharollin asked the two people in front of him
"How can you say that Tharollin, we are telling you the truth, I need my bones son. You promised me that once you get it, you will give it to me." The water man said.
"And you also promised me that nothing will happen to Avonmora and her people. Did you also keep your promise father?" Tharollin asked and answer for his father. "No, you didn't, you failed me and I will fail you if Roen and his family is not dead." Tharollin added.
"Okay son, keep my bones and once Roen is dead, you will give me back my bones." The water man finally said.
"Deal father, and Tamara don't even bother yourself looking for the bones, I can assure you that you will fail woefully if you search for it. I know you too well Tamara, don't forget that."
"So won't you help us son?" The water man asked.
"Help you? When I was fighting the thousands of skeletons inside the Gate of Darkness, did you help me?" Tharollin asked pointing at the water man and then to Tamara. "Or you?" None of them answered him. "No, I did it myself and so you both will do it on your own." Tharollin concluded.
"If you are not helping us, what then are you going to do?" Tamara asked.
"Well you mentioned that Roen has a Tribrid son, I have to see that son of his and also find out where Roen kept the rest of my demons."
Tharollin changed into his smoke and left the cave.
"We have to look for where he kept the bones master, we can't do anything without it." Tamara said more likely referring to herself. Her plans to use the bones will be fruitless without it. She has to do something fast.
"Don't waste your time Tamara, as far he is the one who hid it, it will be very hard for us to locate it. We just have to kill Roen and once the King is dead, before they will crown his son, we might have gotten my bones from him." The water said. "Of course master." Tamara said. "Won't he find out we lied to him?"
"I am hoping he doesn't find out yet. All through the years I haven't thought of the demons held captive by Roen. What happened to them?"
"I too don't know master, it escaped my mind. If Tharollin hasn't made mention of the demons, I have totally forgotten the last supernaturals we have."
"Find out what happened to them and report back to me." The water man said and Tamara nodded her head. "I will take my leave now Tamara and leave you to whatever you were doing." He added and dispersed. Once alone, Tamara screamed out in rage. She was going to find out where he hid the bones at all cost.
Going back to the pot on fire, she put the last ingredients and began to stir it. Once the liquid has thickened enough, she scoop some of it with a spoon and drank it.
Doing that three more times, she held her head and started groaning in pains as her hair started falling off to be replaced by a sandy color hair.
Her face started melting as she dropped to the ground covering her face.
It took 10 minutes for her groaning to stop and her transformation to take place.
Getting up to her feet, she took the mirror near the pot and stared at it. A smile curve in her lips appeared as she looked at her features.
She was Lillian, she looked exactly like Lillian. Rae won't suspect a thing.
Snapping her hand, her attire changed into one of Lillian's clothes.
Time to collect some bracelet. With that thought, she disappeared and appear inside the house of Lillian.
An orb of blue became visible as soon as Lillian disappeared, it vanished afterwards.
The real Lillian will be very busy trying to save the life of a young girl in the Witches shop.
That will definitely keep her there until my mission has been accomplished. Tamara thought as she went into the kitchen and start preparing lunch.

Across the reef, inside the deep Sea of Nile.
King Nile sat down on his throne chair and was thinking about his daughter Selena.
Lydia swam towards him.
"I greet you father." Lydia greeted bringing King Nile out from his thoughts.
"My dear Lydia, what brings you here? I thought you might be with your husband and daughter, why are you here?" King Nile asked softly when he saw his daughter.
"Father, my sisters are telling me how sad you have been. I came here to know why you are sad, so please tell me what troubles you."
"Your sisters are correct, so many things troubles me my daughter." King Nile said.
"And what can it be?"
"One is, I have been thinking of your sister, Selena, as she might be out there alone. I shouldn't have banished her forever, I should have sent her away for two years and allowed her to come back." King Nile finally revealed his main sadness. "I know how you feel about Selena's banishment. My sisters and I are sad too. It's been 50,000 (Fifty thousand years) since Selena left." Lydia said.
"I didn't know when the years had gone by." King Nile said sadly, so many years has long passed.
"Father, you have been underwater ever since the day Selena left so you wouldn't know how the years went by. I completely understand, but you can't undo what you did. That is why I sent my daughter across the reef to meet with the rest of the Centaurs and others super-creatures. I heard Selena helped strays mermaids and merman and build her own kingdom there." Lydia said.
"Really? She is doing well over there?" King Nile asked with hope. "Then I might visit her and ask for her forgiveness."
"That's the problem father, when she left she was pregnant with Michael's child. She gave birth to a beautiful mermaid and handed her the kingdom and disappeared. No one has ever seen or heard of her, except her child." Lydia explained. "Then, I will visit my grandchild and explain things to her, she will understand and make me see my daughter." King Nile said with a smile adoring his face.
"There is a bigger problem father." Lydia said.
"And what can it be?" King Nile demanded immediately the smile gone.
"Avonmora, Selena's daughter, has been frozen and her people killed by a selfish and greedy Tamara." Lydia said in anger as she mentioned Tamara's name. "Who is Tamara and what has she done to my grandchild?"
"Tamara is the priestess over there, across the reef." Lydia said. "She did a lot of things to Avonmora, but before she was Frozen, she has a child which no one knows."

"That means I have two more daughters from Selena, right?" King Nile asked.
"Yes father. I sent Sarai to look for Selena and she saw her granddaughter instead. I asked her to keep an eye on her." Lydia said, she didn't want to tell her father yet that Rae is not that safe.
"Good, let no harm come to my great grandchild." King Nile said and a thought came to him. "If Avonmora, my granddaughter, Is frozen, then I can unfrozen her. The water used in frozen her will obey me." "It is not easy father, her soul has been taken by Tamara." Lydia said.
"Then let's kill this Tamara then and retrieve Avonmora's soul back." King Nile said. This lady called Tamara is really getting him angry.
"There is someone she has given the soul to, I don't know who it is, but I will get to know soon."
"Fine, we should hope that Sarai finds where Selena is fast." King Nile said. "If you need help, don't fail to come to me."
"I hope that my daughter do find Selena and father, the time for you to rise isn't now." Lydia said.
"Thank you Lydia, for making me know I have two extra daughters, at least I am more relaxed that Selena is safe but doesn't want to be found." King Nile said with a smile.

IN THE REALM OF THE GODS:
The gods all sat down.
"Something is wrong." Zeus, the king of the gods said.
"Why do you say so my king?" Apollo, the good of Music and Medicine asked.
"Don't you find it strange? Tamara doesn't give us feedback on our people again." Zeus said. "It's as if someone or something is blocking us."
"You are right my king, it has been long she consulted us." Ares, the god of war said.
"Then we should pay earth a visit." Eros, the god of love suggested.
"Great idea, it has been long we've seen our friend, Poseidon (Nile), so we should also use that opportunity to see him." Zeus said.
"True, but before coming down to earth, we have to send a message across to Tamara, so she could tell our people about our coming." Apollo said. "Hermes!" Zeus shouted once and a tall man appeared right in front of them.
"You called me my king." Hermes, messenger of the gods said.
"Yes I did Hermes, you will have to go down to earth and inform Tamara we shall soon be paying all the supernaturals a visit." Zeus instructed. Hermes nodded his head. "I will do as you have said my king."
"Very well then, you can go."
Hermes disappeared. He appeared in his chamber only for the water man to appear next to him.
"They want to visit the Earth soon." Hermes said to the water man when he saw him.

It was closing time and everyone was going home in groups or with their friends or siblings.
Sarah and Rae together with Jorkallun and Jason all made their way out of the school compound.
Her hands held all the rose flowers Jason had brought for her.
"I have to start going now." Rae said as she touched her bracelet and a portal opened.
"Are you sure you want to use the portal Rae? Remember you now have a boyfriend who can teleport you anywhere." Jason said smiling at her.
"Your offer is tempting, but thank you my handsome." Rae said and winked at him. "Besides my flesh is willing but my head is telling me no, so I am following my head."
"It's not going to hurt you if I take you to your granny house instead of the usual portal you normally take."
"Thank you for your offer but I prefer my portal, I don't have much energy to answer my grandmother questions." Rae said and closed the gap between them and kissed him, she quickly entered the portal. "See you tomorrow in school Jason and those two lover birds with us."
The portal closes leaving the three.
"Now I am feeling bored as my trouble maker is gone, see you tomorrow Jorkallun and Sarah." Jason said and disappeared.
"Now that leaves the both of us." Jorkallun said as he placed his hand on her waist and they start walking together towards Sarah's home. "Why don't you tell me more about yourself beautiful."
Sarah blushes when she heard beautiful. She cleared her throat to tell Jorkallun a little bit about herself.
******
The portal opened behind Lillian (Tamara) and Rae stepped out of it, she went and hugged her and place a kiss on her forehead. Rae saw the grimace look her grandmother when she had kissed her forehead.
She was also expecting lot of questions from her granny to ask her where she got the roses from, but none was coming.
Strange....
Why did she do her face like that? Rae thought as she ran to her room to bath and change her clothes.
First she didn't ask her how her day was in school and now she grimace her face when she pecked her forehead.
She can't tell her what happened in school yet, until later to be sure something isn't wrong.
She bath and quickly wore one of her house clothes before heading downstairs to see her granny still in the kitchen.
"Here you go Rae." Lillian (Tamara) said lovely as she gave Rae a plate of food.
Collecting it. "Thank you granny." Rae said with a smile and carried it to her favorite chair and sat down and started eating
Lillian (Tamara) sat next to her with a smile on her face as she watches Rae.
"Granny your staring is creepy me out." Rae said once she noticed the stares.
"Sorry my dear." Lillian (Tamara) said. "Before I forget, I created a beautiful bracelet for you, more beautiful than the one you're wearing now."
"Really?" Rae asked with sudden interest.
"Yeah, beautiful one with different shades of color. You will like it."
"So where is it?"
"You will have to first of all give me that bracelet you wore and then I will give you the new one with colors."
"Okay granny." Rae said and started to remove her bracelet but pauses as she tries to remember something her granny had told her before, at that moment a knock was heard. "Granny are you expecting anyone?" Rae asked as she stood up and went towards the door not waiting for an answer.
Tamara heart beats faster than usual, Lillian supposed not be here by now. She knows it wasn't Tamara, so who then could it be?
"I am coming." Rae said as the knock came a second time. She opened the door and was surprised to see Jason.
"Hi, I don't know if this is the residence of Lillian Fey. You see I am looking for a beautiful girl called Rae, but I think I am lost." Tamara was shocked when she heard Jason's voice.
What is he doing here?
