Chapter 5: In the past

In the past.

Mebsuta has witnessed alot of slaughters in the past few years. Parents separated from their children in a gruesome way. The hurt,the pain and the fear in the eyes of the beholder. Everything settled in a part of her heart and any little discomfort brings back hurts from the past. She had tried to bury the hatchet countless times but it washes back up to her memory. Perhaps this hatchet can never be buried. Most especially when this crisis is still ongoing.

The people of aztekin are pressed and fed up. Torments from the pit of hell found their way back even after several conscious denial of the incidents. She tried everytime to let go.

"When will another defender come,for this suffering will continue. She thought.

Malchijah and Malcolm time is expired as a defender. She goes to the meeting room every now and then to check the oün light if it is on. To know if another defender has been born. She stood still recognizing the energy and what may happen and just right on that spot she went into a trance.

*

The vision was quite blurry. Eleven figure stood around a blue fire. They circled the fire as they chant some powerful spells. Their white cloak went down to their feet but only one was dressed in all white black.

They were all covered.

The dense fire only lit the place they stood. She recognized one of the figure. Hoshe'athe.

He was the one in black. He turned to her direction but he did not walk away from the circle. He opened his mouth to speak.

"Aztekinas cries have come up to us. We have heard you cries. We have seen your pain and your suffering. Therefore we have sent a defender. A defender that will defend her people from evil hands. The one who carries the defender in her womb is svetlana.

The doers of good has made it so,so finding her will not be difficult at all. This baby possesses great power to destroy your enemies so make sure no harm comes to her. Her powers will be derived and many chaotic things will happen afterwards.

Hoshe'athe walked back to the circle and joined the remaining figure to chant the spells. She tried so hard to see the remaining figure in white but their white hood covered their faces. She could only catch a glimpse of their lips and jaws. It seemed somewhat like an angel's.

"Go back"... Hoshe'athe yelled.

She jerked out of the trance and opened her eyes. Her heart danced for joy leaving a wonderful smile on her face. Joy has come.

There is deliverance for the people.

"I shall let malchijah know about it. We must bring svetlana here under security.

*

Malchijah was supposed to be the hero. He was supposed to save and defend his people from their enemies but he could not.

His time expired fast.

He remembered the days of glory,the days of appraisal and kind treatment. He sharpen his swords every now and then. Even though he could not take them down,he prepared for them. He threw the dagger in anger. It went straight into the air almost grazing mebsuta's neck.

"Good heavens mal. Do you want to kill me. Mebsuta screamed.

The dagger went into the wooden wall.

"Forgive me mebsuta. This is paranoia eats my veins. I'm just tired of not being able to defend the people. I can remember vividly how I put things under control.

"I understand you mal. You cannot be the defender forever.

"So, then why have not another defender come.

He took another dagger and sharpen it effortlessly.

"That is why I have come to you.

He stopped and took a quick glance at her face. A new defender has been sent to defend and deliver us.

"Are you sure?"

Do you doubt my words. I am very sure. I had a vision of it just few minutes ago.

"So,why have you majorly come to tell me?"

He dropped the dagger and focused on her face.

"What do I have to do with the new defender?" He asked calmly.

"We need to keep her safe. We cannot afford to lose her or the baby.

"Who is she?"

"I think she is a commoner but not anymore for she bears our defender.

Her name is svetlana and she is the only pregnant woman in the whole of aztekina.

Malchijah chuckled.

She is the only pregnant woman in the whole of aztekina. He repeated her words.

None of this is a joke... She said with a strong face.

"And neither am I taking as one...Tell me what I need to do.

"You need to bring her here to the castle afterwards we will celebrate her and the baby.

"Copy

He said and got up to his feet. He walked to the wooden wall where he threw multiple daggers. He picked one of the daggers and a scimitar.

He dashed for the door in swiftness.

Malcolm is a good writer. He escapes the real world by writing his emotions and his griefs in a book. He believes writing is a way of a saving information for future generation to give them an idea of the ancient days.

Anytime the vampires attack he comes back home and write all the scene down.

He believes information is power.

Malcolm will rather spend his time writing than wooing women to his bed. It gives much peace to his soul and freedom to his mind.

His books contain solid and useful informations. He is very careful with them.

This early morning he is up with a cup of coffee and some loaves of bread. He is busy writing about aztekin.

The chronicles of aztekin* Malchijah's glory

He also has long pages about mebsuta and her family.

Malcolm drank his coffee with style. A man of class and high etiquette.

Mebsuta walked in without knocking or announcing her presence. She wanted to talk to him by all means so she felt there was no point.

"Pardon me malcolm,I have something important to discuss with you.

He dropped his pen and focused on her.

"I'm all ears.

"There is deliverance for aztekin. A new defender will be born soon. She noticed the joy on his face as he had the goodnews.

"Prepare to welcome svetlana and her baby. The new defender. I would have love to make an open parade with her,dressed her in royal raiment and beautiful beads but for we don't know our enemies from the face. We have to keep her safe. Malchijah will bring her to the castle soon.

Malcolm listened quietly to her. He did not interrupt her at all.

"That is wise. Let us keep her safe and protected. I will make preparation to welcome her in the castle. Malcolm said.

"Thank you malcolm. I shall leave now.

Mebsuta announced and left.
