Chapter 46

"You Don't Have to feel bad we will  get over this"Well we made progress, Kailani accessed  her power and so did you and the goal for now is  to look for lady nalu she leaves among Us.

       And  we must look for her but we also  need to search for lady Mel,nl she might help us for your case but we don't know where to find her, we should  congratulate ourselves from our progress.

    ''Reth did you hear the news?" David asked as he ran into my room,...."  there was a storm close to the airport and all the grass is grew rapidly all of a sudden, I think the governor is currently on the airport due to the strange event", 

        "I think the president will  visit   soon. Many people are saying that it was a spirit who passed the river, the Spirit of a girl. A lady confirmed that she saw the event,she said  there was an old man there who sang To the River.

      I was left speechless at the confession, an old man singing to the river, how?, False news really fly, there was no one present just me, kailani and Athena.

       "An old man said he saw a mermaid close to the river singing to the river. They described her with long blue hair and golden skin who has fish tails and no hands but fins.

    Wow, Kailani continued looking at David as he spread false news with joy, " why would I have no hands, I can't do anything with fins? Kailani asked, ``why do they think only my people have the power to control the river ". 

     " Because your people made them believe so and I guess that's what the world knows about them. Your people control the water and live in the water also so, why won't they believe that you were the one who made the revers stand.

     And what's with the fin I have hands just like them my skin are green not gold and I have pink hair not blue I guess first News do fly just clout chasers out them looking for attention she said in frustration well right I think you are in the news lucky Lee have your face wasn't marked as the only girl who was there. 

       Kailani did Lady know where to find them she might be living among us but not with us I can't look for her outside my vicinity I can't travel to look for her if she's not there and then we have no way of finding her because I am just sitting not more not less I can't do more than a 16 year old I don't have the freedom of movement yet and I can't travel so did she give you a clue of finding her

Yes she did. I saw her in a luxurious apartment  made with gold where she lived . She said she lives among Us but she can't be with us. She's trapped in her own house and she can't leave except when we meet her. I guess we have to find her then speak to her.

        "Ok we will find her, but that's a journey for another day. First let's write down everything we've accomplished and everything we want to accomplish. I now know that your powers are controlled by emotion. Athena's power was activated when she was overwhelmed by sadness and anger.

        I said while writing on the white board in my room, ….."and if she wants to use her power she must connect with her emotions just like she did back in her land

 And kailani we will find lady nalu she will give us answers but we need more description than you've given us we can't just go out there looking for a golden apartment where the goddess lived people will think we are crazy.

    why don't we skip for today then check tomorrow and see what we can do about it, I only know she leaves among us but I have no idea where she might be I don't know a place made with gold in Nigeria and I might  search for it online but I'm not sure it exist I don't know where to find her but I know we will get over this in a very short time.

     Thanks rerh  we wouldn't have accomplished anything if you weren't here thanks, for being our vessel, the life of our land depends on ,you Kailani  said, " aww I am happy to help"I I replied.

     As Athena pulled me  in for a hug, you guys are more than mere souls, but my best friends, and my sisters from a different mother".

      reth who are you talking to, and what are you doing my mum said as she walked into the room jeez how do  I explain this I actually thought I have gotten over this now.

     I would be taken to a hospital for sure if she met me hugging the air, there's no way I wouldn't be sent to a mental asylum for a check-up rather than  the church.

   " Reth!?'' I asked you a question. What are you doing?, "Distract her Reth"  kailani yelled, I need to think of something, yes I got it, 

   "Nothing mom I.. I.. was just reciting some things I read in the news, I..I.. I heard that the River performs different stunts today close to the airport"

    " And what you saw me doing back there was just exercise. I read in an article that in order to have great stamina I need to pretend that I  am hugging the air. It's actually the trending exercise I think everyone out there is doing …"

   "   I don't  want to feel left out and I haven't exercised for a long time so I tried doing this one and it's actually soothing. It's just like yoga", I knew my mom would be convinced about the exercise, she barely knew anything about the teenage lifestyle.

     " Okay you can continue with your exercise, and  Yes  I guess the river  acted strange today. Well  I barely know what is happening in the spiritual realm but I knew an evil spirit passed that place and nature reacted. Good and evil never mix. That was why the river reacted in such a manner".

      Kailani and Athena started laughing "Kailani you have been called evil and for my doings, what a pity" Athena said while laughing, I couldn't help but laugh as well it's actually funny the way people judge without knowing what really happened.

  " Reth, why are you  laughing ?

…  "mum  yes evill  did pass and it's actually funny the way nature reacted" I answered.
