24 Chapter 24

"Dee," June called out Neo's name several times after she zoned out on them. Neo quickly looked at June when she felt her touch her shoulder. "What's wrong, honey?" June asked. When a giant lion with a white mane spread its wings behind king Duma, Neo's eyes shot open. King Duma looked behind him slowly and then back at Neo.

"You can see him," King Duma said to Neo.

"See what?" Jack asked while looking around.

"You can see my protector," King Duma looked into Neo's eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Neo lied. A woman whose entire body was draped in beads walked in. Her eyes also went straight to Neo.

"I walked into the wrong room," King Duma explained to the woman "And found this young lady who looks like Zandile," he added. "I think that she can see Banza." Banza was the name of the lion.

"What...who?" Jack didn't know what to ask. "Look, sir, my daughter resembles your daughter but it's not her." June and Jack couldn't see the wild animal behind the king.
