26 Chapter 26

The doorbell rang and rang while Neo explained to June and Gladys why they couldn't come near her. Gladys got annoyed by the ringing so she jumped over the dead jakanga to open the front door.

"Well, can you tell it that we won't hurt you?" June asked, referring to Banza.

"I've tried but it won't move," Neo said.

"Banza," Neo watched the lion's head turn to look at the door where King Duma was "Ease on the defense," he ordered. Banza withdrew his wings and stood aside while king Duma walked closer. "Why did you lie?" King Duma asked Neo.

"I don't know," Neo admitted. King Duma went to inspect the jakanga.

"I knew that you could see Banza," King Duma said. "He wouldn't have come here had you not been my blood."

June looked at Neo, "Sweetheart, I think you must tell him what you know," June said.

"I don't know how to explain it," Neo said.
