Epic 92As they entered the park, Kyrian paused, his gaze turning towards Jasmine."Do you remember this place?" he asked, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.Jasmine's eyes sparkled with emotion as she nodded. "Of course I do," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "This is where we first fell in love."Kyrian's smile widened as he pulled her into his arms. "It was right here, under this very same tree, that I knew I loved you," he said, his voice full of emotion. Jasmine melted into his embrace, her head resting against his chest. "I felt the same way," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "I knew right then and there that you were the one for me."Kyrian held her tightly, his heart swelling with love. "I don't want you to go, Jasmine. I don't want to be without you."Jasmine lifted her head, her eyes shining with tears. "I don't want to go either, Kyrian. But this is something I have to do, for my grandmother. Kyrian nodded, understanding but still hurting at th

Epic 94Jasmine placed her hand on his arm, her voice gentle. "Kyrian," she said, her eyes full of compassion. "I know this is a lot to think about. But remember, you don't have to decide right now. Take some time to think about it, and talk to Timi and Dada if you need to. And whatever you decide, I'll be here to support you."Kyrian turned to Jasmine, his eyes grateful. "Thank you, Babe. It means a lot to me that you understand."Dada smiled, his expression warm. "Now, enough of this serious talk. Let's eat! And so, the group turned their attention to the feast spread out before them, Dada regaling them with tales from his childhood in Nigeria, Timi joking about his latest dating mishap, and Jasmine gently steering the conversation away from Kyrian's message.Kyrian, meanwhile, found himself lost in thought, his mind turning over the possibilities and implications of the message. He couldn't help but wonder if he was finally on the verge of learning something about his past, somethi

Epic 96As Kyrian and Jasmine drove away from the small village, their hearts heavy with the knowledge they had gained, they both knew that they could never forget what had happened there."We can't let them get away with this," Kyrian said, his voice determined. "We have to find a way to make sure that what happened here is never forgotten."Jasmine nodded her eyes on the road ahead. "I'll help you, Kyrian," she said. "We'll find a way to bring the truth to light."Kyrian smiled, a sense of purpose settling over him. In the months that followed, Kyrian and Jasmine worked tirelessly to uncover more evidence about the terrible events that had taken place in the village. They tracked down former employees of the lab, dug through old government files, and spoke to anyone who would listen.Slowly but surely, they began to build a case, a story that they knew would shock the world. But as they uncovered more and more of the truth, they also became targets themselves, hunted by shadowy forc

Epic 98As Kyrian and Jasmine made their final preparations for the trip, a familiar voice called out from the hospital room doorway."Hey there, sleepyhead," Timi said, her voice teasing and warm. "I hear you've been having all the fun without me."Kyrian's face lit up at the sight of his childhood friend. "Timi!" he exclaimed, his heart lifting at the sight of her. "What are you doing here?"Timi stepped into the room, her arms full of get-well balloons and gifts. "Well, I couldn't let my best friend go off on some dangerous Arctic adventure without saying goodbye, now could I?" Timi replied, settling down into a chair next to Kyrian's bed. "Besides, I heard you were being all dramatic and breaking your leg for attention. I had to come to see for myself."Kyrian laughed, wincing slightly as he adjusted his position. "Oh yeah, this cast is just for show," he teased. "But seriously, Timi, it's good to see you. I've missed you." Timi smiled, her eyes shining with affection. "I've misse

Epic 100"You've got to be kidding me," Kyrian growled, his frustration boiling over. "I trusted you! You were supposed to be working with him, helping him find the other subjects!"Jasmine's expression softened, her gaze full of sympathy. "Kyrian, I'm so sorry you're going through this, but I don't know anything. I was hired to do a job, that's it."Kyrian's shoulders slumped, the fight draining out of him. Tears welled up in his eyes, his voice cracking. "I just want to find my dad. Jasmine reached out, placing a gentle hand on Kyrian's arm. "Look, I might not know anything about your dad, but I do know this: you're not alone in this. I'm here for you. Let's try to figure this out together, okay?"Kyrian nodded, the tears spilling over, blurring his vision. He wanted to believe her, to trust her again. But the betrayal he felt was still too raw, too fresh."I...I don't know what to believe anymore," he whispered, his voice hoarse with emotion. With a nod, Jasmine reached for her pho
