Chapter 139: Successful Ritual

Now the man quickly asked us to leave the waterside, as the current now became violent, breaking with strong waves, at this moment, the fishes of the sea became visible, we began to see many fishes visibly clear, they were just jumping like they were having an acrobatic display.

"Wow! I can't believe this, they accepted it with great joy, see the way they are so happy, the water itself is jubilating, this jubilation is coming from deep within, I am that he will not think of your son again, oh my God, we are so lucky, madam, your son is free, boy you are now a full human, you may now go and live your life freely, but mind you, you must still stay clear from rivers for now. You must not swim, for now, wait until all these scales are gone, then you can be completely free to do whatever you will like to do. But hold this in your mind, that once this is done, you can no longer be able to breathe underwater, if you stay too long underwater you will drown, and may I also remind you that you will have to go and learn how to swim, that thing you were doing was not swimming, and it may impress you to know that you cant do that again. Hahahah..."

The man said and ended with a laugh. Mom was so excited, so was I, without much hesitation, the man asked us to go home, he said all was well, that our offerings were accepted with great joy. And it sincerely looked like that. 

But I am still bothered, how the hell did this man know about all of my secret doings, I was even sure that he might also know of my little secrets with Cynthia, I just stood there wishing and praying that he never mention anything that has to do with Cynthia there because mom will be so disappointed at me. But thank God, he never mentioned anything that has to do with that.

So, that night we drove back to the hotel where we had lodged, before we got there, mom called the gate watchers and they came outside to wait for us. By the time we got to the gate, we met them outside gisting, they greeted us and opened the gate for us and we went in, we all went to our rooms with joy, that night mom was so excited that she just couldn't sleep, and she couldn't also allow me to sleep. She just kept gisting and thanking God for directing this prophet to us. According to the prophet, the gradual healing and withering of the scale mean success. According to him, all the scales will wither and die and gradually, my skin will heal back. That night mom held me in her arms like I grew smaller, hahaha, the way she held me was funny and embarrassing, I tried to drag myself out of her grip but she never let go, it was more like we were fighting wrestling, and she was giving me a submission grip.

That night we slept very happily, having in in our little minds that all our problems had been solved, little did we know that the real problem had just begun. Yes, my true transformation started that day. What that man did was nothing but introduce me to the water. All this while, even with the dreams and reactions, Dad never truly know of my existence, mom had been scared and running for no reason all this while. Dad had no clue that what could be seen as his one-night stand with mom resulted in his only hope to retain his throne.

Yes, my father Goldrich, is the kink of the Atlantis, a kingdom located just beneath the Atlantic ocean, my father's Kingdom bordered with the dreadful Bermuda triangle. The Bermuda triangle is a Kingdom of evil mermaids, they are power mongers and bringers of destruction. This kingdom is located around the northern part of the Atlantic ocean, which is seven hundred thousand kilometers of sea from Florida to Puerto Rico, it appears as a dark hole in the middle of the ocean, where turns of water have been fall in without filling. Father's ancestors had been fighting back these dark forces, but it almost seemed like the evil mermaid will soon invade Atlantis, and once they do, that will be the end of my father's bloodline, or should I say my bloodline. His problem came due to my father's Inability to procreate a legatee for himself, so his sister, Aunty Salamander had been a threat on his throne, she had been threatening to take over the throne.

Now, you see, during that time when the calabash flipped, and my blood mixed with the waster, my blood sank down and blended with the atmosphere of the Atlantis and sent a signal to Dad and the Old one. The Old one was an aged merman, and adviser of king Goldrich my father, and the bridge between the Atlantis people and their ancestors. The fish that was jumping up and down, was as a result of the great party that was going on beneath the sea, all the creatures were happy, they were celebrating for their king has an heir. At that moment there was a serious celebration, lots of dancing, and those fish could not help become out to dance.

When this signal came, king Goldrich used his tongue to scoop a little water into his mouth and he asked Old on saying;

Old one, wise man, did you get this signal? Have you tried to taste the water? Why does it seem like I have a son? Go ahead, check it out for yourself."

My father the king asked the Old one who in turn said.
