KOZI

After the high priest left the dinning room, they all eat in silent and in peace after Aaron finish his food he excuse himself Gabriel want to follow him but he was stop before he get up

When the other two see that Aaron is nowhere to see them they start talking no Ella start asking questions to which Gabriel never give an answer to, when she see that he wouldn't an answer her no matter how she threatning him she keep quiet so the two eat their food in silent and kept glacing at him for time to time, when they are through with their food each went their separate ways

Aaron look for the high priest and find the old man in the shrine and wait for him when the high priest was through with his duty he lead Aaron to another place and offer his seat to him

" The tablet I gave her is just vitamin, so there is nothing to worry about, and to make her behave and be obedient I ask Gabriel to scary sometime and at times to make her listen I have to scary her a little"

" She is obstinate" he laughed

" She is such a good girl and very good in everything, am happy to be able to raise our Queen" he smile

" She is not your Queen but mine my Goddess and am a mortal now so go back and stop waiting for me" the older man was surprised

" My king, you remember"

" I don't know what happened by I know who I am, and my responsibility and my responsibility are my family"

" My king!" he paused and look into Aaron eyes " after you remember everything and you still wish to forget everything then I will respect your decision because the man talking to me now know nothing about the past and how his people are suffering till now"

" Take me to Kozi" Aaron change the topic when he see how hurt the high is

The high priest lead him to where Kozi is, they are steps away from Kozi but Kozi had his master footsteps he ran to him as if he didn't his king will run away when he get to them he crouch down in front of Aaron

When Aaron see the animal he know who it is and step toward Kozi, Kozi Rob it head on his feet " I see myll Kozi is now big" the tiger look up when it's Master, it's King praise him of been big he roar and Aaron bend down and Pat it head

" Thank you KOZI, for saving my love, I will forever be grateful to you" KOZI shake it's head as if telling his Master not to be thankful or grateful to him

" We must always be thankful to those who help us" he replied

" That is why we have never for onces forget about you your Majesty" they hear a voice coming from behind Aaron turn back and see a beautiful woman

" My king" the lady greet but Aaron just stare at her

" Am Fanny goddess of the birds, I heard your footsteps and you feed the air with your scent so I know you are back and came to say my greetings"

" Thank you goddess Fanny"

After talking to Fanny the Goddess of the birds for some time, the woman bid them goodbye and fly away and Aaron comments " so free as ever"

" you remember her"

" Umh" the high priest know his king don't want to answer his question so he change the topic both of them walk in silent after awhile they halt their step when the hear a beautiful voice singing they saw two beautiful mermaid by the river who sat on tree branch beside the river the women say their greetings to them and high priest reply with a nod and follow behind Aaron

The two reach the Southeastward of the place Aaron look around admitting the beautiful place the high priest open the entrance door and call Aaron both go in, high priest allow Aaron to look around before he broke the silent

" My king do you remember these place" he asked and Aaron nod then he explain

" This is where you spent sixty-eight thousands years after the death of her Majesty, you stay here without seeing a single light for sixty-eight thousands years, nor food nor water this is where you grieved over my Queen death"

" Is Ella a human being or other creature like us"

" Yes! Her Majesty is a human for the moment you meant her"

" Is that why I lost the throne because I felt in love with mortal"

" No, you gave the throne to your cousin before you met her Majesty but he betrayed you"

" I want to know all that happened for the beginning to the end, will you help?" he asked

" My king, knowing who you are is the first step of all and from what I see, you know who you are, so to remember everything that happens lies in your hand (pause) no one can help you my king" he bow at the end of this explanation

" I will try to remember in other to protect her and not to make the same mistake"

" You never make any mistake, you just get hurt but" he went silent and have no intention to continue so Aaron tell him to continue

" Am sorry to saying this my king, I wish you will trust her Majesty no matter what happens in future, and don't let the past ruin the two of you"

" have the past ever ruin Ella and I"

" Am sorry your Majesty, I can't say more than this until you remember all"

" Ooh thanks! Please keep her save till then"

" Yes your Majesty, I will protect her with my life as always"

" She spend her days here and my room"

" Yes your Majesty! Her Majesty felt more comfortable to sleep in your room and love spending her days here when she has nothing to do" Aaron can't stop the smile that surface on his lips

The two discuss more and went back to the villa, when Aaron is about to leave he look for Ella but he didn't see her so he wrote a small note for her and gave it to Gabriel, all the creature bid him goodbye and some even follow him back
