Father and Daughter Reunion

While everyone is relaxing in the living room of their suite, Nakita came in from the outside, "My daughter will be here any moment from now, I just contacted her and she told me she is close to Terac City." He said.

"Hope you told her to act discreetly?" Alfonso asked him.

"Relax, I already told her that." Nakita said as he sank into a couch in the living room.

" The two of you are finally out of meditation. I was thinking I will have to come to your rooms to drag you out." Nakita said to Nicos and Tabitha that are also sitting across him on the couch, "let me tell you, as much as you want to grow fast, you must not be careless with it or else it will be detrimental to you. And affect your future advancement. There are people who forego having a strong foundation for rapid growth in strength and are regretting it now so I'm saying this base on experience."

"We will keep that in mind Uncle Nakita and act appropriately." Nicos said.

"Good, as long as you don't forego having a strong foundation for advancing quickly, that's fine. You will eventually catch up and surpass your peers in due time – that I'm sure of." He said.

"They are sure to slow down for now, because I will make sure they do." Alfonso said. "And unlike Tabitha who has advanced to Tier 1 Nicos still seem a bit far from advancing, only God knows the kind of Essence pond he has that make it not to be filled by this time even though it is apparent that he has more potential than his sister."

"Well, the deeper the Essence pond the longer it will take to be filled and I am guessing Nicos Essence pond is not ordinary." Nakita said

"We can worry about that later if it continue to persist after you both measure your Faith power and Spirit Element purity." Alfonso said.

"You are right about that, we won't have to wait for too long to get that out of the way and we will see what happen after." Nakita said, "but even at that, the speed at which this two are processing is crazy. Forming an Essence pond that takes three months meditation is achieved within one day and now, what that's some a year to achieve and 6 months for others if they have more potentials is being accomplished with a month by this two. Isn't that crazy?" Nakita said staring at the two of them as if he want to prey out their secrets from them like a mad scientist causing Tabitha and Nicos – even the Spirit beast to cringe and inch away avoiding his gaze.

"Don't stare at them like that, your profession does not even have anything to do with research so why are you looking with so much interest at them, you are too old for that." Alfonso said.

"How can you have such an impure thoughts in your mind, I'm just curious that's all."Nakita said, rolling his eyes at Alfonso.

"Don't be, you are scaring the kids." Alfonso said.

"We might still have to wait for more things to unfold, I'm certain that development speed is not the only thing that is there to it." Alfonso said.

"I really am looking forward to what these two and there brother will birth."Nakita said

"But I have to remind you two" Alfonso said, "no matter what your achievement seems like at the moment, never get complacent because out there, they are people better than you and there are also people who do not care and are ready to sacrifice everything to see you fall and fail.

So wherever and whenever, never let your talent and potential get into your head, remember that whatever you achieve now is nothing to what the future holds and you will only see it if you take a steady step and not become arrogant.

"We will keep your word to heart Uncle Alfonso." Nicos said.

The Spirit Realm decides the destiny of everyone in the Human world and they have come to terms with that fact. And within the light there's darkness and within darkness there's a tinder of light. No one is totally safe in the Spirit Realm, a little misstep is what it will take for a great man to fall down into his demise. So while everyone is looking to increase their strength, they also make sure that another those not tamper with their destiny and life.

"I owe you guys a lot most especially you Nicos. If not for you all, I don't know when I will be able to see the Spirit Realm again and that is if I will ever see it." Nakita said solemnly

"Uncle Nakita don't say that" Nicos said, "not everyone can discard everything and venture into a place with no possibility of returning. It shows the kind of person you are."

"Nicos is right, I'm not saying this to your face all for the sake of praising you but I genuinely mean it, the kind of person like you is rare and I'm glad we cross path." Alfonso said.

"I did it for the goddess Chloe" Nakita replied, "she helped my daughter when I was at the brink of losing hope, and I have to pay back or I die trying."

The room became quiet with everyone with their own thought – except of course Tabitha who is keeping herself busy with Dew who have resign to it fate in her hand. After a while, the door was knocked, Nakita got up from the couch to answer the door while everyone looked on to see who it is. When he open the door, she found the receptionist that's usually at the front desk – the one that helped them to their room when they just arrived at the Spirit Realm. "Hello Miss Mahlah." He said.

"Mr. Nakita, the person you told me will come has arrived so I decide to bring her up here to you." Mahlah said.

"Thank you so much Miss. Mahlah."Nakita said.

"You are welcome. If there's nothing else you need, I will return to my duty post and as always you can call my attention in case you need anything." Mahlah said before she takes her leave.

"Of course we will surely inform you if there's any other thing we will need." Nakita said as he allow the visitor to enter before closing the door.

"Father!" the young lady who just entered shout and jump into his embrace.

"Keep your voice down Milota" Nakita try to shush his daughter as they stayed in each other's embrace for a while before separating with their eyes filled with tears.

"I'm just so happy to see you father, I thought I will never see you again ever since you left for the Forgotten region." Milota said in tears.

"I'm so happy to see you too my dear princess. And I promised you I will be back, a father does not leave his promise unfulfilled you know." Nakita said teasing her daughter.

"Yes, I know. So does that mean you are out of the Forgotten region?" she asked "I thought you can never get out of that place according to the written records.

"No, I am still in the Forgotten region but we found a way to enter the Spirit Realm from there. I didn't say much when I contacted you because it is a very sensitive information that we can't afford for it to be known to the public." Nakita replied her and turn to the others in the room.

"Sorry I got carried away after not seeing my daughter for the past 5 years." Nakita said

"You don't have to feel embarrassed, we understand." Alfonso said.

"Uncle Nakita, is that your daughter?" Tabitha asked scrutinizing Milota from head to toe. Milota is a lady with average height, she had a cloak on which over her outfit and only her head is exposed since she let the hood down. Brown hair that reach her middle back, a beauty face that has a little hint of maturity to it and a golden eyes, with a well appropriated nose and a light pink lips.

"Milota, do you recognized this person?" Nakita asked her daughter as he introduce her to Alfonso.

"No." Milota said, looking intensely at Alfonso in other to place his face on someone she might have met before.

"His is Alfonso, goddess Chloe's aide." Nakita said.

"This is Uncle Alfonso?" She asked with a surprised tone.

"Yes." Nikat replied. "But I thought the news was that he entered the Forgotten region with Lady Chloe." Milota said, "and around a month ago, his name was mysteriously erased from the Silversky City Coup, making them think he has died in the Forgotten region. Same thing with you father, I also thought you were dead until you contacted me."

"Don't tell me you both meant in the Forgotten region and he helped you gain entrance to the Spirit Realm." Milota said looking askance at his father.

"You might as well calm down and allow me to tell you the story in details before you start to connect the dot Miss. Detective." Nakita said.
