REBIRTH OF A WARRIOR Chapter 99
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
REBIRTH OF A WARRIOR Chapter 100
Sha’ní clenched her hands into fists to keep from reacting to a burst of power emitted from Ra. Everyone’s thoughts and surface emotions rushed into her and overpowered the eerie silence.Both her parents stared at Atumn with extremely different emotions. Charles was concerned for Ra and was surprised at how well he handled himself.Her father was furious with him and anxious for the meeting to be over. It was the first time she had ever physically felt an emotion from him. The connection was overwhelming.The others had varying degrees of respect toward Sha’ni, including her new friend, Horace; however, the one who stole her attention was her daddy. She dared not ask him about Kebachet but based on his reaction to Ra, it could not have been good. She just wanted him to tell her if he lived.“It has come to my attention that there is a need for an adjustment among us,” Ra’s commanding voice demanded Sha’ní’s attention. His presence weighed heavily in her mind as his power consumed her

“In order for Kebachet to return, there must be one among us who would bond with him and share their godly power. I will take your votes on whether or not Kebachet returns to us.”Sha’ní’s heart thundered in her chest from Ra’s revelation that Kebachet was still alive. She wasn’t sure where he was being held, but it did not matter. He was still breathing air, and his heart still beat.Her hope soon turned into anxiety and the grin on her lips faded as she waited for an answer. She glanced at each god, and none of them returned her gaze. Every god around the table remained emotionless and expressionless.“What is your vote, Sha’ní?”Sha’ní nearly leaped from her seat as Ra’s strong voice entered her mind. His brown eyes peered deep down as he waited for her answer.There was no doubt she wished for her brother to live; however, she was not sure she should voice her opinion. The others didn’t seem to want a traitor in their midst. Even her parents refused to say anything, and she was ce

“Horace will continue creating wars as you command, which also cause chaos.”Charles shivered with a chill, “Remind me to never anger you.”Jasper ’s chuckle was a deep rumble that vibrated her soul as he pulled Charles into his lap, “You could never push me to do this to you.”Charles hooked an arm around his broad shoulders and melted into his chest. She loved the way it rumbled when he spoke.“Your mother? How is it you have power over her?”“It is a law among the Gods. It is not spoken of often, as children are not born often, nor do marriages happen often.“The male of the family is head of the household, regardless of age. In Set’s home, he is the master, and everyone must submit to him.“He placed my mother above me as you are above Sha’ní. In Set’s absence, she is to defer to me.“Set is no longer the master of her family. I am the remaining male, and so, must submit to me.”Charles could not imagine submitting to a child. Both Kebachet and Sha’ní were her children and would r

"Run little goddess, before I flail your hide!” Kebachet roared in the demon dialect.He swung his armored arms toward her and mimicked the beast’s mating dance.Sha’ní yelped and tumbled away from the swipe of his arm, “Stop this, brother! I don’t care what you have seen. I won’t give up on you.”Kebachet growled and stomped toward her. Her eyes dilated, and her mind screamed to run; however, she refused to leave him. He will not win this battle. Sha’ní’s tenacity was as strong as Charles ’s.Kebachet morphed back into a doppelganger and sighed, “Call your father. He must witness this and begin the process of teaching us how to control our thoughts and emotions."I do not care that we will know where the other is at all times. I do not wish to share your life, and I wish for my thoughts to be private.”“As you wish, brother,” Sha’ní beamed, then bounced out of the throne room.Jasper Jasper ’s ears tingled as the familiar sounds of his daughter’s padded feet ran through the hall of

“Thank you for coming.”Jasper gave a curt nod and said, “I am here to help where I am able.”Those were not the words the doppelganger expected. His red eyes shifted to Sha’ní, who stood next to him and then returned in a silent question to explain what he feared.“It is her decision. She has been warned and is still willing to bond with you.”"Are you mad?” He blurted and grasped Sha’ní’s shoulders with his clawed hands, ”Let me die, Sha’ní.”“Ra said you are to be made whole. If I do not bond with you, then another god will.”“Command my soul to leave. For her sake,” He pleaded with Jasper .“My apologies, Kebachet. Ra has spoken. My hands are tied.”The doppelganger stood back and helplessly gaped at the both of them. It was the same look of helplessness he gave when he begged Charles and Jasper for his life.Jasper taught his son that Ra’s word was law and must be respected no matter how strongly he disagreed with it. There was nothing that could be done. Jasper would not disobey

She sounded lost and hurt. If that traitorous bastard did anything to her, he would kill him and damn the earth to hell.Horace teleported to his throne room and raced from his platform toward the pacing young black jackal.“What is it Sha’ní?”Her body froze, and her cyan eyes followed his movements as he ran toward her. When she did not answer, he searched for any wounds on her body.“I am unharmed,” she grasped his hands to stop him, “It is my brother I want to ask you about.”Horace straightened and backed away from her hand’s reach. What could he possibly say about their bonding? Do not give the traitorous bastard an ounce of her essence? Be his for life and forget her brother?Her heart was too deeply committed to bringing Kebachet back from the dead. She would never accept his authority. Besides, She was destined to bond with her brother, and together they would keep the earth free of demons.It was well Ra chose to keep Kebachet. Still, he deserved far less than the intimacy t

Wanting him and submitting to him was not an issue. They were not married. If she went through with his request, she could alienate her father and destroy the delicate connection she had fought so hard to achieve. She could not throw that away for a night of passion.Sha’ní had been kept in the dark her entire life. As a result, she would have failed in defeating Lilene, but Boros guided her and saved the world through her.Perhaps that was what must be done with Kebachet. She must blindly follow the path before her and lean on her father to help her through it when it seemed she would fail.“Why do you expect me to surrender everything to you? That is not how a relationship works. When two people are in love, they get married and live productive lives as best friends. They never own each other. I will never submit to any creature, and I am not ready to commit my life to another.”Her parents’ marriage was a peaceful one. Her father was head of the household. His word was law, and he
