"Thanks a lot for everything"

Darrell said to Thalia and Pontius.

They are all at the palace of queen Thalia in Menesia, still under the depths of the blue ocean.

"It's ok Darrell, I'm always willing to help a Cassel," Queen Thalia replied. "And I'm honoured having you with me in my kingdom," Queen Thalia said, she is still holding her golden trident with her left hand, with a golden crown on her head, her white long hair fallen between her shoulders and is covering her bosom.

"I'm sure my father is smiling at you where ever he is, for your kind gesture towards me, I really enjoyed my stay here and do hope to see you guys again,"

Darrell said.

"That's not a problem Darrell, you should be on your way now, Monaserus needs you," Pontius said and gave Darrell a hug.

Pontius had a golden crown on his head. He also wore a golden bracelet on his upper right arm.

They broke from the hug and Darrell returned a warm smile to Pontius and walks to queen Thalia.

"Here, take this with you, I hope it brings you good luck," Thalia said and gives Darrell an enchanted pearl.

"It will take you to your uncle faster," Queen Thalia adds with a smile.

"Thanks your highness, I do hope to cross paths with you again," Darrell said and bowed respectfully.

Darrell takes the Pearl from queen Thalia's hand and the minute he took the pearl he immediately teleported and found himself at the front door of Jack's house.

Darrell knocked at the door without wasting a minute and he waited for a while, soon the door was opened by Jack.

"Darrell! You are safe," Jack said happily and embraced Darrell.

"I have missed...you Uncle," Darrell said pulling Jack tighter to his arms.

"I miss you too son, I shouldn't have let you go out but I'm glad you are okay now," Jack said with sobs.

"A lot has happened and I have a lot of questions to ask you,"

Darrell said before breaking the hug.

"Don't worry Darrell, let's go inside first," Jack said and they both went inside.

They are both now seated on the couch.

"You see, Darrell, for you to understand everything, then you need to hear it from the very beginning," Jack said and held Darrell's hand.

"Your mom and dad were part of the guardians of Monaserus and they were very close friends to the royal family, Norma Elspeth was the eldest sister to the present queen of Monaserus, Norma Elspeth killed her father, King Jasper, and flew away with the royal scepter, when we taught she was gone, after some years later, she came back again, but this time, she didn't come alone, she came with a lot of beasts, which were released from the 'book of SHADOWS', your parents tried to stop her, using every single magic in their veins, but Norma Elspeth was stronger she sent the beast to attack all the guardians and they were all killed, but before your mother died she told me to take you far away from Monaserus, far from Norma Elspeth's reach, so I took you to an orphanage home in Los Angeles where you grew up before I came back to pick you when those boys were almost beating you to death,"

After Darrell finished hearing all these things he became really sad.

"So that's the reason for the strange nightmares I have been having," Darrell said and stands up. "They were the memories of my mother's death, she was killed by a beast sent by Norma Elspeth,"

(Soliloquizing).

"I must get my revenge, I must get my parents death avenged, but how?" Darrell said now facing Jack with anger in his eyes.

"Darrell, it won't be easy for you to kill Norma Elspeth just like that, to kill her there are some certain things you need," Jack said with a really serious tone.

"Tell me, uncle, I am ready to do anything to avenge the death of my parents, I love them so much, I didn't grow up knowing them well enough but I won't be happy until I have avenged their death," Darrell said now looking at Jack's face.

"You will go out to the woods, there your journey begins, I might not be able to do much for you cause am old but there is someone who can help you," Jack said to Darrell holding up his chin.

"Who?" Asked Darrell with curiosity.

"Melissa, she told me you know where she stays, go to her and she will give you a headstart on how to kill Norma Elspeth and you will be able to avenge the death of your parents," Jack said and Darrell face fumed in anger.

"Ok Uncle Jack, but the last time I was there she disappeared after I finished talking to her," Darrell said.

"Don't worry son, that's just one of her tricks, I'm sure when you get there you will see her," Jack said and Darrell replied with a nod.

"Cheer up son, I am sure you will get all the answers you want and you shall be able to fulfill your quest, just be brave, you will soar through," Jack said now tapping Darrell's shoulder.

"Thanks, Uncle Jack," Darrell said and inhaled deeply.

"Now that we are good, I think you should have your lunch, I'm sure you have missed my homemade delicacies," Jack said with a smile and he walks to the kitchen leaving Darrell alone to think.

Darrell laughed as Jack winks at him before going to the kitchen.

"I sure do miss it a lot uncle Jack," Darrell replied with a chuckle.

Darrell sits down on the couch.

"This old man," He thought to himself and chuckled inside him and soon his mood changes as the thought of revenge crept into his mind again, his eyes visibly turns red.
