Who's the ghost?

Finally getting her way out, Agnes moved as fast as her legs could carry her, she walked along a narrow path and went down the lonely road and slowly fear creeped into her. She arrived at a water side.

Well look who's here, a voice said and Agnes heart beat skipped.

I didn't know you would come after you refused my brother's hand, the voice chuckled.

I- I'm sorry i refuse your brother, i was young and-- Agnes said in a seemly unconcerned manner.

Like your friend?

Please Mira you people are mermaids and i don't see the connection.

That hurts, Mira responded pouting

Mira please I'm not here to talk about your brother or marriage. Although it concerns ibitein's..

Tell me!

Um.. she cleared her throat, i-- i heard that something is not right because there might be possible danger threat on my friend, ibitein.

There is always danger lurking my friend, she chuckled. And your friend has hers for a long time.

I don't understand, Agnes said confused.

Go home Agnes, it's not for you to understand.

But you didn't even say anything, she protested.

If you had said yes to my brother i would have considered, Mira chuckled.

That's hurts, Agnes said with a knowing look. "Ayonadu said the man is a ghost, ibitein's to be groom". She sharply exhaled. "He implied", but i cannot conclude.

I do not know.. Mira flipped her blue tail in the clear water playfully. Somethings are restricted from this world and it is better we do not know than to know. As the saying goes "he who knows too much will invite the unknown to his door", we can only watch from a far because we cannot change anything. Mira exhaled.

Why do you always have to speak in parables? Agnes exhaled in confusion.

Mira chuckled. Because i like to confuse you.

That's not fair, Agnes protested.

Just go home Agnes.

Agnes gave her a look and sighed.

"She walked back into town as fast as she could when she had footsteps in the lonely forest. She didn't even say anything, she scoffed. I should have said yes to her brother, she sighed in disappointment".

Her skin crawled when she saw a strange looking owl staring at her as she walked. Did she not notice this when she was coming? she asked herself. Why does it feel like the owl was no ordinary but something bigger.. it was strange that the owl was looking at her as if it was monitoring her. She added speed to her movement and finally came out to the main road, she exhaled and kept walking towards where ibitein's house was located.

I thought the boy was the only curious one until I met her, Black said with an

evil smirk. It seems like we have two people to worry about.. my lord, he added

Worry about nothing Black, Calvin said with a blank expression on his face.

But master th-

Have you forgotten what the prophecy said.. if we interfere with this world there will be an imbalance in our world..

No master, he bowed

Don't ever interfere! I do not know what the imbalance is.

Forgive me master! he said with a bow.

"I want to make her suffer just like she did to me", he said.

Get the men ready!
