You Were Warned

Chapter 116 Camile, Ashur, Master

*Camile* I was reading to Merna when Puabi strolled into the room. “What are you doing?” Puabi pointed to the book that was in my hands. “It is a tragic romance novel. Sadragon gave it to me when he saw me in the hall. Said that he found it. Though I would like to read it while I am taking care of Merna.” Glancing over at the fire, Puabi placed more fuel into the flames and kissed my forehead. “What is the tragedy of the story?” I cleared my throat, “A beautiful woman does not know that her fated mate is in front of her. A spell had been cast, not allowing her to feel the pull. So her mate has to win her over. The one that cast the spell on her, places an amulet on her neck … pushing her into the water … when the beautiful woman wakes up, she finds herself in the future, unable to get her lover back.” Puabi strolled over to me, wrinkling her nose, “You are in need of a bath!” I could not help myself, I laughed, “I can not remember the last time I left the room to have a bath. But …” I pointed at Merna. “We will make it quick, nothing has changed since Merna was healed. I am sure things will remain the same when we come back!” *Ashur* Our trackers brought us to Quito, Elcavador. We found a small party of twelve individuals that were scanning the location. They appeared to be hunting down easy targets. human borns that would be easy to take away, with no one able to get them back. I was nearing my target when the fighting began. Our enemy seemed to be shocked at our presence, and quickly jumped into the human borns body, avoiding capture. This is the tactic they had done in the past. Knowing that we would follow the laws and not harm the human borns without just cause. I spotted my target jumping into a young female. The female’s body jolted with the invasion. Once she gained control over her footing, she turned her head and screamed like her life depended on it. As fast as the invasion happened, the human born female forced the invader out of her body. “My lucky day!” I said as I approached Mannel’s followers. “It looks like you jumped into the wrong body. This female is protected,” I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck as he was trying to figure out what just happened. The female that had been jumped started to mutter words that were not clear to me. As I brought out my blade to kill my opponent, I was surrounded by the spirits of the past. The little female had called on her ancestors for protection. “Smart little human born!” I told the female. I did not know if she could hear me, but I knew she could see me. I kept my eyes on this human born as I dug the blade into his chest. Between the female’s ancestors and myself we were able to take care of the remaining traitors. The few that we were able to get our hands on, we killed without a thought. The captain's comment was directed at the ancestors of this place. They seemed to be aware of what was going on. “What do you think they did with the others?” Captain was referring to our enemies that had been hunting the human borns. The female that I first spotted when we got her was standing near me, “Los enviamos de regreso a donde pertenecen!” The female replied to me. “Well at least I know she can see and hear us.” I told the group, “The little female told me that they sent them back to where they came from!” “At least the human borns are safe! Though if they are referring to sending them back to where they came from, Mannel’s domain, they are going to inform Mannel that we are here.” Captain stated. “Does it really matter at this point!” I said, “at this point we should always assume that everywhere we go they will be there ready to ambush us. When we get back to home base, we should alway assume at any time we will be attacked. We just need to stay vigilant all the time.” “Yes sir!” Everyone echoed each other. I nodded my head once at the little female, “NO bajes la guardia, volverán!” I told the female. The female glared at me for a second, studied her ancestors only to smile up at me. “What did you tell the female?” One of my hunters asked me. I glared at him, “I told her not to let her guard down.” I exhaled. “Come on, let us go back!” The group gathered together while a portal was created, “Do you think she will do as you said?” He asked I neared the portal, one of the last to leave, “If she doesn’t, she will be a fool! They will be coming back. This female just repelled our enemies to where they came from. This means she will become top of the list for our enemies to capture!” Glancing around, “Do you think that maybe we should leave a few hunters here?” The hunter suggested. I glanced around the remaining group, “Yes! Captain …we will head back to the main base, pick ten of your best there and you will all stay here making sure that Mannel does not get anymore human borns.” *Master* It took four Earth moons to gain control over the Earth realm. Majority of my siblings ran back to their realms to avoid prosecution. Only a handful of my siblings, and kin are unaccounted for. Pirapancam has kept her respectful realm, untouched by my wrath. The agreement between Iravu and I has not changed. She still keeps ladyship over the outer quadrant. While I strolled the halls, my informant was telling me of the updated information that I needed to know. Many parts of the world were on fire, part of the fire was out of the norm. Civil war had broken out among the human borns, which as I had assumed upset Pirapancam. In the span of the uprise here the human born population had gone down by five percent. Various reasons for their demise contributed to the decrease. If things continued by the time the human borns found an agreement among each other the population could go down by another ten percent. The main goal was for us to come to a conclusion before world war breaks out. The only good thing about this is that human borns were good at reproduction. Probably the only thing they excel at. I set my sight on the mage, “Is there anything else that I need to know?” The mage bowed his head, “There is not, Master!” I waved my hand, “You may go then!” I ordered. I opened the door to Merna’s chamber. I was pissed once I realised that the fire had gone out. Camile was to make sure that the fire never went out. Smelling the air, a foul smile mingled in with Puabi’s scent hit my nose. ‘I will speak with Puabi and her mate later.’ I made a mental note. Starting the fire again, then strolling over to Merna’s slumbering body. Four Earth moons she has been like this! I had the strongest mages to study her condition. Each of them could not explain her state. It was a mystery to them as well as me. Touching her forehead she seems chilled to the touch. “Wake up!” I whispered into her ears. There was no response. Stroking her hair I ventured into her mind. White swirling energy filled my mind's eyes. Still there was no sign that Merna was close to consciousness. I could tell that her energy was there but her mind seemed to be sleeping. It was almost like what I do when I need to recharge. I glanced briefly at Merna one more time before I left the chamber. For a split second, I thought I saw a blue light surrounding her body. If I had not turned my head to see her, I would not have noticed the change. Blinking my eyes, the blue light was gone. There is only one individual that would be able to explain that odd anomaly, Pirapancam!
