The Nights', Heritage and History!!!

Chapter 64: The Nights'; Heritage and History!!!

'l have a spirit speaker inside my spirit sea that told me about your identity" Lancelot Jr said in a low tone.

Mrs. Morgan murmured those words as she ruminated on the information she just received.

"Spirit speaker could only be made or created from the bodies of water nation's high priestesses, but in the whole of the three continents, the only Water Nation high priestess that I have come across was...."

Mrs. Morgan stopped speaking at this moment as she widened her eyes in surprise, realizing something,

"Kendra!!!", She screamed at Lancelot Jr,

"Can she hear me?" she asked excitedly,

Lancelot Jr nodded as he suddenly realized, she is my..m..o..th...eeerrr".

He was so overwhelmed as he spoke to the spirit speaker that remained silent,

"l thought you left me, but you sacrificed yourself to become a spirit speaker so you could guide and protect me, I love you mother,"

Lancelot Jr said passionately.

In the outside world he remained calm and quiet as tears streamed down his face but in his mind, he was conversing with the spirit speaker.

Mrs. Morgan continued;

"Lancelot Jr, that is a nice name, like your father, she chose to name you after him to keep his legacy, I'm sure, that like him, you inherited the ability to master other elements."

She smiled as she looked at Lancelot Jr with a bond that was accrued over the years from the

memory of her brother.

It's been a very long time since she last saw him but after looking at his son, there was joy and tears in her eyes.

She couldn't help herself.

Ever since she learnt of the death of her brother she had chosen to live in isolation and change her identity completely before meeting a man that led her to the fire nation community and allowed her to have a new lease on life.

"There is something I'm curious about.."

Lancelot Jr suddenly spoke, with seriousness in his voice,

"l know the last name of my mother is Aqua since I now know her first name as Kendra,'

'Kendra Aqua',

"But I have been wondering what my last name is, it has always been Lancelot Jr, nothing else..

Mrs. Morgan then smiled,

"Our last name has a heritage and a history that would shock the world if it ever got out, I am not even a full member of the household,

'l was adopted, and while my adoptive parents took me in, my brother took me as his blood and showed so much love since we were very little..."

Lancelot Jr was surprised by this sudden influx of information as he stared wild-eyed, waiting for Mrs. Morgan to continue.

"Our Last Name is NIGHT, James Night was the first ancestor of the Night family, he was also the first elemental to be born from the

Netherworld, a place that birthed the gods of each nation... "

Mrs. Morgan paused and smiled before continuing, "The Netherworld is a place beyond this one, full of death and anguish, but the powers that could be absorbed and birthed there, completely trumps this world's powers."

"James Night was birthed as a man alongside the different gods that were born.... This history

that I speak cannot be found in the history books you read, it is hidden for a reason,"

"I know of this because it's my family's history, although we had been forbidden from mentioning the name Night to anyone, We just simply go by our first name and manufacture one for anyone who dares to ask for our last names."

She paused and allowed Lancelot Jr who had a questioning look to speak, "do the netherworld still exist and why was James Night birthed with the gods....?"

Mrs. Morgan continued: "James Night was supposed to be a beam to balance the scales of power amongst the gods, each god was extremely powerful and they mastered one element each, but to check this immense power, James Night was created from the netherworld and infused with all elements."

"History stated only 8 elements because the 9th Nation is not actually an element but a check to other nations, a negative element.'

"The Void Assassins...???"Lancelot Jr, interjected immediately after Mrs. Morgan spoke.

"Yes, the Void Assassins, however, there are actually 18 nations, every nation has its variant in the netherworld, a variant is like a diseased or failed form of a particular nation, they pose an immense threat to the major 9 nations and are being kept in the netherworld by a seal if ever the seal was broken we might not live to tell the tale, only humans would be left in this world"

As she finished speaking her expression became serious,

"James Night was the first elemental King, he maintained the balance between the gods and ensured that humans were left undisturbed as he made a veil to separate both worlds,"

"The gods became uncomfortable and started to rebel time and time again, the Air Nation god poisoned the hearts of many other gods and forced them to work together to fight James Night, unable to handle them all, James night fled."

"The descendants of James Night were killed one after another to ensure that none of them carried on his legacy or have his ability, and after the gods gained power over the elemental world,"

"They celebrated and rejoiced and started to establish their nation, one by one, they made their nations and the once united Kingdom of the elementals was now separated into different nations."

"There was peace for a while and the Nation gods got along well until the Air Nation god became greedy and decided to be the most powerful god of all the nations present in the elemental world."

"He started to sow seeds of discord between gods and forced them to fight one another, while he hid out of sight, the war between gods erupted from small misunderstandings and blew out of proportion in a short while."

"With the exception of the beast god and the earth god, the other nations fought themselves tirelessly, while the Air nation god would sneak in on wounded gods, too weak to defend themselves and slay them before fleeing again to wait for another god and another opportunity."

"Until he was finally killed by my brother, he tormented other nations who had lost their gods and fought them to the point of slavery"

Lancelot Jr was awed by his father's achievements, "My father killed the Air nation god!! The spirit speaker....Uhm I mean my mother showed me the live scene through her conscious mind" Lancelot Jr said with a smile

"What about James Nights and his descendants? Are they all dead? How come my father has his powers?"Lancelot Jr was very curious.

Mrs. Morgan responded;

"Nobody knows where James Night is, some believed he has died, some believe he is still alive and as the father of all elementals and the first King of the elemental Nation, his legacy cannot be wiped off so easily."

"Some of his descendants survived, in fact, the ability that my brother displayed is like 1% of his capability, I believe James Night would be reborn through you as the real elemental King"

Mrs. Morgan spoke frankly as she pointed straight at Lancelot Jr.

Lancelot Jr was stunned and overwhelmed by the huge responsibility that Mrs. Morgan placed on him, he had been seeing signs of this level of responsibility being his destiny or at least a part of it, but hearing it being said out loud, makes it more overbearing and extremely heavyweight to carry.

Alisha then looked to Lancelot Jr as her gaze held a shocked expression and tears ran down her eyes,

"So you're my cousin...l thought..." She got out of the car and ran off.

Lancelot Jr was confused and asked Mrs.

Morgan, "Was that because I didn't tell her I was her cousin? I didn't even know, I just found out...I" Lancelot Jr tried to explain himself as he was unhappy that he had hurt Alisha.

Mrs. Morgan just shook her head,

"No, it is not because of that, I know my daughter well enough to know, she has feelings for you, although it is a bit muddled up but she does, it pains her that you are somewhat related.."

"But you don't have to worry about that, there is plenty of time, and besides, since the bloodline is thinned out, you guys could still be a couple in the future as I was also adopted"

Lancelot Jr was a bit perplexed, "Aunt Cherry, that would be too weird wouldn't it, explaining our relationship and adding that to the mix is troublesome enough..."

"Nobody has to know," Mrs. Morgan said with a smile.

She looked out the window and continued speaking,

"You can go now, it seems your principal is looking for you"

Lancelot Jr looked out of the limousine window and saw the principal coming nearer and asking for his whereabouts from those around

Lancelot Jr sighed in defeat, "Alright Aunt

Cherry, thank you for everything, I'm glad to have met you" he hugged her again and came out of the car.

Mrs. Morgan watched him go while she couldn't hold back the tears that came later.

"Brother, I found your son," She said and sighed as she picked up her phone to call Alisha.
