Chapter 35 - The Beginning of The End

Gwanhoya slowly becomes visible to them both with a malicious leer coming from her. Gwanhoya descents slowly to the ground looking at the four with a devilish look on her face. After all she is a devil but at this point has not returned to her diabolic look. Garamba looks pissed and ready to dismantle her but first it seems they have to fight their way through the zombies.

Aroused by the menacing looks on their faces Gwanhoya bursts into laughter, "I hope you do not mind! I just thought maybe this reunion might be more emotional for you guys!" she places a finger on her mouth, but I guess I was wrong!"

Garamba advances forward, "You will pay for this, demon!" 

Genteel grabs her by the arm, "Do not be irrational at this point and make irrational moves at this point. Any wrong moves we will lose." 

"Alright then, what is the way forward then?" 

Genteel moves forward, "It is not our destiny to defeat her and as it stands, we cannot! It is their destiny so I suggest we stall for as long as we can as they recover!"

"And what do we do if Tofireyi and Taruziva attack?" 

"Then we will have no choice but to fight them!" she does not falter answering her, "I am sure you have felt power without a soul! That is why I think they will only attack if the demoness commands it!"

"Apologies ladies! I will not be able to keep entertaining you for long but I do hope my new associates here will be able to satisfy your entertainment taste buds!"

Garamba slowly advances forward, "So, basically you are saying you are too much of a coward to entertain us yourself?"

Gwanhoya laughs, "Well, truly speaking I would love to stay and fight a couple of rounds before killing you both but I think I have delayed enough! Kill them all!" she vanishes after replying her and commanding Tofireyi and Taruziva.

Garamba looks to Genteel for what to do next, "So, what now?"

Genteel spreads her right hand summoning her stuff and answers, "The odds are a little better now and chances of surviving have risen from the poor point on which they were!" her stuff lands in her hand.

"Well, that is comforting!"

Taruziva and Tofireyi launch their first attack on Genteel and Garamba at high speed. Genteel puts up an invisible shield around herself and Garamba surrounds herself with darkness. 

"Can we not even catch a break that is a little longer!" Garamba complains about the limited resting time.

"No!"

Both Taruziva and Tofireyi hit the barriers and are pushed back. Taruziva raises his hand and brings it down with force increasing the gravity around both Garamba and Genteel. Genteel falls to the ground and her shield start being crushed into the earth. 

 Garamba releases herself and Tofireyi lifts his hands up with open palms and a whirl wind lift Garamba from the ground and spins her around inside the whirl wind and she begins struggling to free herself from the bad situation. Meanwhile, is still being crushed into the earth by Taruziva. 

At Gwanhoya's Cave

She arrives and finds the cave destroyed and cannot enter inside it.

"My new favourite magic stuff is inside there! Who the hell did this?" she asks saddened by the view.

She begins chanting hand spread out wide raising them slowly and her eyes closed. The cave starts rebuilding to what it was like. Quickly she gets into the cave to begin her ritual. She grabs the container with the blood of Mukura and her stuff leaves the cave and sets up for her ritual drawing a star and circle cutting through it with three dots that are disconnected.

Pours the blood in the three disconnected dots, in the lines of the circle and on the centre of the start. Throws the container away and sits with her legs crossed and starts chanting with her eyes closed.

A red mist slowly emanates from the sign she drew in the ground and disappears. She continues chanting in the same position.

At Alabaster Weald

The battle rages on between the mothers and the fathers with the children still lying knocked out on the ground showing no sign of waking up. 

Genteel hits the ground with her stuff and the earth shakes making Taruziva and Tofireyi to lose their balance and Garamba follows through with blazing fire coming out of her mouth. Tofireyi claps hard and a strong wind cancels the fire attack and Taruziva thuds the earth with his foot and the ground stops shaking. 

Four of them charge at each other fast. Genteel jumps into the sky fold herself into a ball. And lights start escaping from open spaces. Garamba puts on a wicked grin looking at her and gets ready to close her eyes. 

Taruziva quickly stops and spreads his arm and closes the hand with force and throws it off and Genteel is thrown away far from the battlefield. But the grin on Garamba's face does not disappear. She creates a darkness whirl and pushes it forward to Tofireyi. 

Genteel returns quickly with Tofireyi and Taruziva distracted by the darkness whirlwind, Garamba closes her eyes and Genteel releases the light blinding them. The light slowly dims and Garamba restrains them. Rendering them unable to move and falls on one knee and one hand also supporting and starts breathing heavily. The fighting has taken a lot out of her and surprisingly, Genteel is feeling unphased by this.

"Let me strengthen your magical restrains on them!" she suggests walking close to Taruziva and Tofireyi.

She hits the ground and it swallows them in leaving their heads outside only.

"Genteel, what are we going to do about the kids? They still have not woken up yet!"

We just have to be patient and wait for them to awaken!"

"But Gwanhoya might be destroying the world by now!" Garamba sounds so impatient and is seemingly having a restless mind.

"If she was already destroying the world, we will be the first ones to know!"

"We need to stop ....!"

Genteel cuts her off knocking some sense into her, "It is not our destiny to defeat her but their destiny and you need some rest, right now you can barely move a muscle. Your body has been strained too much."

She tries to stand up, "I am fi....!" She falls to the ground and laughs, "I guess you are right but what now really? Are we supposed to just sit here until she destroys the world!?" she questions Genteel. 

"We have to wait!" 

"I see!"

They wait for Mukura and Gurudza to wake up. 

"Ohh my, he really is down!" a little girls voices comes from where Gurudza and Mukura are lying down, "He looks good asleep too!" gently feels his face.

"Get away from my son you little!" Genteel again stops Garamba from acting irrational.

"What are you stopping for now?"

Genteel looks at the little girl falling on her knees.

Garamba is surprised to see Genteel kneel before some, "Why are you kneeling right now?" she looks around and the only thing she can see is the little girl.

Trey turns to see Genteel kneeling before her and she smiles in delight seeing her.

"If it is not my favourite fairy godmother!" she completely diverts her attention towards her, "How I have missed you!"

Garamba seeing how Genteel has humbled herself before Trey she decides to stop acting irrationally and wait.

Trey lays her hand on her top of her head, "I hope this world did has not caused you much trouble!" 

Genteel does not reply and keeps her head looking down on the ground. Trey not pleased by this raises her from the ground and looks up in her eyes and Genteel is emotionally numb.

"You have returned yourself back to what you were before" Trey presses her thumb on Genteel's forehead and she falls to the ground

Garamba tries to move to attack her but she freezes there unable to move any muscle on her body.

Trey raises her hand on her way back to Mukura and Gurudza, "I will be right with you after I am done with every I am doing, be patient!" she assures her.

She looks at Tofireyi and Taruziva who are still stuck in the ground, "You two are supposed to be dead and yet I guess the one who did this to my Guru, is the one who must have brought you back!" she sighs and waves her hand, and the two become lifeless.

Genteel just stands there watching as she goes. She continues going towards Gurudza and Mukura squats right beside Gurudza. 

"You really do have a death wish!" Trey puts her hand on his forehead and moves it going down to the legs and gets up and squat beside Mukura.

Mukura looks a lot like Genteel when she was younger except for the skin tone which is a little darker and her body a little bit thicker than Genteel's. 

She smiles and places her hand on her forehead and moves it down to the toes and gets up and wait for a few seconds and the two of them wake up together with haste.

"Seems like you really did a good job purging the darkness out of them!" she applauds Genteel. 

Garamba is released from being frozen in one place and she falls down to breathe.

"Mukura, she looks like you, Genteel!" she turns to look at Mukura, "You were always my mother's favourite creation!"

"Thank you, young goddess!" she declares her gratitude.

"Do not be so formal with me, Genteel! After all, I am younger than you."

Getting up off the ground Garamba shoots a question, "Who are you?"

"Ohh yes, I said I would attend to you after! My name is Trey Zolahan!"

Garamba reminisce of the time when she was with Gwanhoya in the dark forest when she mentioned the name Zolahan and told her that they are the most powerful family in this world right now.

"I will be leaving now!" she tells them, "And please be sure to stop this world from ending!" she asks them, "You have close to a little time now!" she points in the sky, "The blood moon is about to start emerging!"

She disappears leaving them to fight the battle alone. Genteel slowly returns back to normal and runs to Mukura who is still rejuvenating seated on the ground. Drops down beside her eyes tearing up fast with her lips trembling, confused whether if she should hug her or hold her face or if she will allow her to do any of that but does it matter though? She is very much merry her daughter is pretty much alright!

Mukura hugs her with her eyes closed tears flowing down her cheeks and Genteel freezes confused on if she is now over everything and does not embrace her with her tears beginning to fall from her wide-open eyes. 

Seeing that she is not responding to her hugging her, she opens up one eye and says to her "Mom! I think this is when you also hug your daughter back and not just become a zombie on a special moment!"

Genteel embraces her tight, "I am sorry!" 

"I know, mother! Somehow, when you accessed my memories, I could see yours also!"

Garamba smiles headed to Gurudza, "It is about time you two made up and got on the same page!" she sounds happy because of the development.

"Garamba!" Genteel calls her while hugging Mukura, "Thank you!"

"For what? I really did nothing!" she replies.

Her hands grab onto Gurudza's cheeks and she kisses him on the forehead, "I am glad you are alright!"

"Mother!" he calls her softly.

"What is it?"

"My butt still hurts!"

"Do not worry about it, you will be fine!"

Mukura releases herself from Genteel and she looks around, "Where is that demon? I think it is time I free my sister from her evil clutches!"

"I totally agree! It is time we put an end to her schemes!"

An explosion occurs in the sky and blood begins raining and all of them are slowly becoming covered in it.

"Oh my God!" Mukura looks terrified, "Are we too late?"

Gurudza walks up to her, places his hand on her shoulder, "No, this is just the beginning!"

"This seems like an emergency so I will open up a portal so both of you can go on ahead!" Genteel says grabbing her magic stuff and she tries to use it and it does not respond.

"What is wrong, mom?" Mukura asks.

Garamba gets closer to Genteel, "Did that little girl do something to you or is it the blood rain?"

"I do no know!" she replies and tries again and still nothing happens.

"Let me try!" Garamba says setting herself to try.

Places an open hand in the sky and creates a dark cocoon covering them from the darkness.

She looks at her hands and looks at Genteel, "Maybe that little girl did something to you!" she insinuates.

"No, she did not do anything!" Genteel defends Trey and walks a little to the front looking at her stuff, throw it down look up, "Thank you, Goddess!" she shows her gratitude.

Fire light out of her palm and it explodes opening a portal to near Gwanhoya's cave and she smiles and exhales in relief.

"Okay now, both of you go now. We will meet you there as soon as we can!"

Garamba gets closer to her and asks, "What did she do to you?"

Genteel smiles, "The young goddess unified my power restoring me to what I was before!"

Garamba gets confused as to what she is talking about because for as far as she can remember. Genteel has always had that stuff with her and what is this about her being restored.

When she is about to ask the light slowly turns red and she looks everywhere to see they are enshrouded in the red light. But what could it that is causing the whole area to have a red light instead of the natural moonlight?

Mukura taps Gurudza and calls Genteel, "Mom!" 

"Not now, Divine! I need to find out where this red light is coming from!" 

"I think I did!" Mukura replies her.

Genteel looks at Mukura who is looking in the sky with her eyes wide open and she turns her gaze in the same direction she is looking at and comes in contact with the moon which now has a dark red at its upper part. 

This is the beginning of the end!
