REBIRTH OF A WARRIOR Chapter 92
Jasper Sha’ní opened the door and stood aside, allowing Jasper to enter the dark dwelling. The first floor of the home was open spaced with a spacious entrance and an intimate sitting area. A staircase hugged the back wall and ended at a catwalk going back toward the front of the house.Jasper ignored his daughter’s torment as he traveled the horrendous green carpet toward the sitting area. He suspected she pulled him aside because she wished to tell him something displeasing and possibly embarrassing. He would wait until she was ready to speak to him.Sha’ní followed him and stood still as a statue as Jasper faced her and leaned on the back of the couch. Her jackal skin was dull, and her cyan eyes hid behind the dark pupils. She was about to tell him something displeasing and feared his reaction.His daughter had grown beautifully and reached her godhood. The least he could do was hear her heart and remain calm.Sha’ní took a deep breath and shoulders slowly relaxed when she noticed

“I will not ask again, child. Speak, or I will force it from you.”Charles ' cool fingers gently touched his tightening arm, Give your word, husband. If what I suspect she is protecting is true, then you will wish to know. Do not react to what your eyes tell you.“Not until you promise, daddy. Promise me you will trust me and not jump to conclusions,” Sha’ní continued. She was unaware of their private conversation.Jasper whipped his head around to glare at Charles . He would not be ruled by his family. Spit it out, wife. What is it you think you know?“Daddy, please! I am begging you. You control your emotions all the time. You control your mind and demand we do the same. I am only asking you to continue.”Charles ’s eyes widened, and her pupils dilated as she focused on something behind her. Her vision through the bond and the speed of her heart caught Jasper by surprise. Somehow a demon escaped the battle and was approaching Sha’ní from behind.Charles Charles could not believe wh

“It is not up to you to decide my fate.”“It isn’t yours either. I brought father here instead of mother because I knew it would only make him more upset if I did not come forward sooner rather than later. He would have surely killed you and made it my punishment.”Kebachet laughed, “The god of the dead may be many things, but he is not that cruel. Not to his own flesh.”“How could you say such a thing! He claimed to have sold your soul to the death knights for a millennium and then strangled it himself!”The door to the farmhouse opened revealing the god of the dead and the goddess of balance and life. They both had glowing eyes that exuded powerful emotions of disbelief. Jasper ’s mind could not grapple with Kebachet’s image. It was as if he had found a way to teleport into the future.Kebachet held back a snicker at the absurd notion. Only Fate and Time could do that. Although it would be intriguing if he could somehow mimic the gods.Charles only wished to run to him and embrace h

She gripped Sha’ní’s shoulder, then teleported them both to Jasper ’s chambers within the god’s temple.“No!” Sha’ní screamed and fought to free herself from Charles .Charles had wrapped her arms around her daughter, pinning her back to her chest.“You will stay here, Sha’ní. Your father is of sound mind. "Do not forget Kebachet is his son and the treason he committed against him. Jasper must decide if his soul is worth saving,” Charles whispered in Sha’ní’s ear.She kept the comforting illusion hoping to pacify Sha’ní enough for her mind to see reason.“He paid for his crimes. He is your son too! Why don’t you want him to come back?” Sha’ní growled angrily.Charles knew she flew words around in a desperate attempt to get her way; however, they still hurt. To think her daughter would believe Charles was incapable of loving her children shattered her.Charles released Sha’ní and stood in front of the door, “Do not question my love for my children.”The pain in her voice made Sha’ní f

Atumn-RaRa sat alone at his personal workstation, gazing out the window; however, he did not see the honeysuckle bushes that decorated the courtyard. The events over the last century played over and over in his mind like a song he could not shake.He could still feel Lilene’s caress and hear her soft whispers as she made promises to return to him. He was foolish, and it nearly cost the lives of his children.Charles ’s sentence was more than fair. He deserved much more for his actions; however, he was thankful for her mercy. He only waited for the council to summon him.“My Lord, please come to me. There is a demon among us who has a soul,” Jasper called from Ra’s throne room.Ra’s heart leaped with joy. He found his son and resisted killing Gegleth.Ra teleported to his throne room and rested in his chair. Jasper and Gegleth both knelt with their chins tucked to their chests. Both were plagued with a burden.“Speak, Jasper .”“My Lord, I wish to know if you were involved with banish

“If you create a new body, he must be consummated or begin to perish. It is the way of things,” Jasper explained. His voice softened to the respect Ra demanded.“He does not have to be consummated, Jasper . Only a god willing to share power.”“That is a high price to ask of any god. They will be forever connected. They will forever know of each other’s pain or joy. Thoughts will not be private. It is best for him to be mated to the one who will share the power.”It was not the physical pain that worried Jasper . He was concerned about the effect on his son.Ra enjoyed watching Jasper raise Kebachet. There were lessons Jasper learned as he grew up that he instilled in his young son. Privacy was a powerful shield against an enemy. Blocking his thoughts and shielding his mind from foreign probes would protect him from the most ruthless demon.Sharing a god’s power would expose Kebachet’s mind. No matter. The god must adjust, and the perfect goddess to connect to would be Sha’ní. She was

Jasper ’s mind and emotions were still flowing through their bond. He truly believed she was jealous of Horace’s affection toward Sha’ní. It sickened him that she would desire Boros and infuriated him that she grew to love him before he could claim her heart as a mortal. Loving another, especially his brother, stroked his possessive nature and left him crippled to do anything about it.“No, wife. Had Boros remained alive, you would have attempted to mate with him.“At the time, I did not see it. My brother was extremely attracted to you. He said as much to you while you hunted your master’s allies.“The night you laid by my side as my body transitioned into a vampire, your thoughts lingered on my physique and reminisced of Boros.“‘If any of (your) clan wished to mate with (you), he would have been (your) first choice,’” He quoted.Charles gaped at Jasper in disbelief. He was truly a calculating, cunning jackal. She barely remembered that thought. She had just turned Gabriel into a va

As Sha’ní traveled through the blue sea, the souls paused in their wanderings and turned toward her. Charles had never seen such a thing. They did not respond to the god of the underworld once they went to sleep. Jasper had stated Sha’ní found her godhood. This must be what she could do.Sha’ní paused in her trek, and the entire valley lit up in a brilliant blue. Every single one, as far as the eye could see, turned to face Sha’ní.“I wish to speak to the ancient soul who lived during the time the Matriarch Lara ruled in the house of Khalid Rahal.”Charles ’s jaw unhinged as the souls pulsed to her command, sending brilliant blue ripples through the masses. The sea slowly parted until a single soul stood alone in the split.Charles could not speak with the souls or see their past lives like Jasper ; however, she could see the faded features resembling their recent life. Jasper could command living souls and the ones waiting for judgment. The only god who could control a sleeping soul
