Chapter 74
"You said something before, what was that?" Nicky asked.
The wizard circled Sophia twice and then stood by her feet. He stared at her for a while with his hands in his pockets before replying, "I said she can be brought back to life if she wants to."
"How?" I asked him.
"The wand of life," he answered.
"Huh? I've only heard about the wand of light in Barbie cartoons, " Nicky whispered to me." I twisted my brows at her.
"You are only being polite to me now because they've found a way to bring back your grand daughter," I snapped at her.
"Hey", she nudged me, and we both giggled.
"What is the wand of life?" Mum asked the Wizard.
"Darius, stop calling me 'the wizard'. You know my name," he playfully spat at me.
"Sorry sir", I apologized.
"What's his name?" Nicky asked.
"Ajezirai Dafirutus!" I replied.
Actually, can we keep calling him the wizard?" She was pleased. Everyone chuckled a little.
"Call me Zirai," the wizard, I mean, Ajezirai, stated.
"Much better," Nicky replied.
"OK, can we now concentrate on her?" I asked, pointing to Sophia.
"Right, your mother asked me what the wand of life was." Zirai started, "it is a wand that brings back innocent blood that was killed by the mirror. Let's call it an antidote." But it only works if the deceased wants to return. "
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"The wand of life can be activated by an incantation and then it fades into the land of the dead and finds the person it was sent to, if the person touches it, he/she will be brought back to life by the wand, but if the person ignores it, the wand will return after 10 minutes.." He explained.
"And what will happen to the person?" I asked him anxiously.
"You will have to bury the person" he shrugged.
"But what if the person doesn't know that the wand was sent to her?" Nicky asked.
"Not my problem" he replied.
Nicky gritted her teeth in anger.
"Chill dear mermaid, I didn't make the rules" zirai said to her.
"Let's get the wand first and hope that Sophia touches it" mum suggested.
Good suggestion.
"Where do we get the wand of life?" I asked Zirai.
"This is the instruction 'when you feel like you've offended Lafiti, plead for forgiveness and then look behind for the Wand Of Life', that's all I know" he stated.
"You definitely know more than that, you just don't wanna tell us" Nicky fired at him, he shrugged and laughed.
"...beg for forgiveness then look behind for the wand of life" I remininced on it.
"Who's gonna do the begging or should we all do it?" Nicky asked.
"If you feel like you've offended Lafiti, beg forgiveness then look behind for the wand of life, that's all I know" Zirai repeated.
"Aahh, gush you are so annoying" Nicky groaned at him, he laughed.
I walk to the mirror and pleaded.
