114. He Knows Him. *

The night was winding down and we were all pretty loaded myself and Zephyr included.

With Miri and Setil fighting and then tearfully making up..Stuart looked awkward sitting between his new bride brothers who were questioning everything about him while wildly gesticulating with full cups.

I couldn't stop myself touching him under the table.

At one point he had stop me from crawling under it.

Once again proving his iron will.

Miri soon took to the stage singing new songs Ciren taught her.

𝄞 Alles Lebeyndige stirbt eineis Tagues

Ob wir zum Stevrben bereit sinud oder nicht,

derg ..𝄞

Ciren explained it's a song in an language supposedly spoken by the ancients.

It sounded nonsense but a beautifully rhythmic one.

" Hey..let's leave this lot..hmm? " - he finally said the words,I've been waiting all night.

" Fuck yea."

I didn't bother with whispering..I wanted my husband and I've waited enough.

He laughed a little . " Give me a minute ..Demelza!? " - he called her over and left a disappointed Alex alone on the dance floor.

" Yea, I'm here.."

" I need to talk to Carlos he wanted something to say but, just then Marcus challenged me so..anyway take Lylly to get some air please.. sister? "

" Leave her to me. Come, Mrs Astoria let's go. "

I felt fine but, I also felt my face on fire. Some cold air might just what's needed.

I put my coat on but didn't button it and walked outside side with close support of Demelza.

The air was crisp and cool it was exactly what I needed.

" What a night.." - with Demelza hand on my shoulder we both looked at the moons blanketing the world in their light blue light.

We enjoyed the sight and the seldom noises of the night coming from howling idiots celebrating us or themselves or both.

𝄞 ιστενρν νρωταλσν Zephyrka ήδη..

We heard almost singing carried by the wind..

I heard Zephyr name and Demelza looks confirmed it...

" What is that..? "

I put my hand up and we walked closer.

𝄞..όση!! Zephyrka υο ..

It was a low distorted second voice.

Between two houses not far from the new one just finished months ago there was a deep purple light illuminated a silhouette of a tall man..

Marcus!

Demelza took us slowly behind the house where we couldn't be seen..but couldn't see ourselves.

𝄞κι κόσμο Ehliteka..Scipio! SCIPIO!!

𝄞...Scipio..

The disturbing voice came again..then the light faded and footsteps were heard and slowly faded crunching the snow underneath.

Demelza was shaking, so was I and ..was it from the cold or the voice that answered the creepy man was anyones guess.

——

" What's wrong..why the face? "

I played off my disturbed mind and smiled.

" My stomach..too much sauce.."

He tilted his head seeing me and looking at Demelza who seeked refugee in her husband arm.

I scanned the leftover crowd but no creepshow..

" What did Carlos want? "

That erased his suspicions. " Uh..guess who's ready to head back to Dharma and divorce a certain someone? "

I was shocked..Carlos is ready to..just a few days ago he seemd so lost.

" How? "

" He said seeing us this happy.. " - he pulled me close caressing my face. " ..made him..scared. He realized he can't put off his own happiness ..my love, things finally came together for all of us."

He looked so happy and at peace..

" I'm happy, my love..give me one more minute and you can take home. "

I gave him a long kiss and grabbed Demelza and Alexander brought them inside the room my family slept for over a week.

I looked at Demelza immediately. " Have you told him? "

She nodded meekly and found safety from my eyes in her husband embrace.

I closed my eyes and listened to my husband..think it through Lylly..if I tell him it will ruin tonight..and that's the best case scenario..theres always a chance he just kill him to be done with it..shitshit..

" Okay..since now it's the three of us, I'll ask..

" We shouldn't tell him Lylly.."

Alexander cut me off walking towards the window leaving his wife and continued. " ..That man..he is strong. That fight proved that but, this?.. "

He looked back at us worried. " He is also a blessed..that light you saw..that voice of a demon? He is no ordinary fellow.."

Yes, I puzzled that out myself..but..

He put his hand up stoping me. " I'm afraid once told Lylly..it might open up things better left alone.. like who he was before he became Zephyr..maybe that guy is an ally or an enemy, we don't know. But one thing is for sure.. he knows him Lylly..he knows him and, they only meet today. "

Fuck..

" So what is your actual plan.. just lie to him about everything? "

" No..I don't know.." - he was too drunk and confused to think straight. " ..we have too much on our plate adding some guy, who leaves tomorrow morning might not be the best idea. "

" What if he returns, Alex? " - Demelza regained her colour and voice. " What if..

" Are you suggesting that is there anyone who can defeat him?..I mean, outright defeat him when he is serious? "

She had nothing to add.

" I believe whatever..this turn out to be. He will be able handle the fallout. Besides we still don't know anything..you heard words you didn't understand and the man mentioned his name. "

He kept looking at the door. " Lylly as his wife it's ultimately up to you. We need to hurry he will get suspicious..he already is. . "

I closed my eyes again and weighted things..he is right, we have enough to deal with..he can't be defeated not if he takes it seriously and goes for blood.

" Fine..we keep this to ourselves. If anybody knows it's because one of us blabbed...let's go." - I was ready to go but.. " Wait..if he asking why were we in here so long? "

The Jartok family looked more or less the same when shrugging..

" We tell it's about martial troubles..between you two. Play along, well if he asks..understood? "

They nodded and we were now party of a big secret that can't ever reach him..

I don't know but me lying just a few hours after we married might piss him off.
