Amelia and Brad went to their car with Olympia on tow, who was completely immersed in some thought.

"What happened, Olympia?"

"Master, something is wrong. I can feel something strange here." Olympia replied, shaking her head. She continued, "Master, that poison came from Pito, the grand elder of the Pitohui bird clan."

"What is special about them?" Brad asked.

"They make lethal poison, and fear only the phoenixes from our clan."

"I see. Why would they appear here in New York?" Brad mumbled.

"I am worried about that only, Master. I"m sure that something very bad is happening here." Olympia looked at the sky and muttered.

Brad followed her eyesight and saw the sky completely covered with black clouds and it was growing darker. "Let"s go, Mum."

Amelia looked at her son and nodded her head. She boarded the car and they went towards their home.

The gray clouds loomed over the entire sky, creating a gloomy atmosphere throughout. It was as if the sky was empathizing with them.

As soon as they opened the front door they were shocked. They saw Stephan lying on the sofa with his eyes open, and he was foaming from his mouth.

"Master, it is the same poison." Olympia said, but soon she heard a loud scream, "Noooooooo…" She turned her head only to find Amelia standing at the doorway, and screaming. Horror was written all over her face.

She ran towards Stephan, and patted his cheeks saying, "Stephan, honey, wake up. Please don"t make me afraid." She constantly patted his cheeks, his chest, before she rested her head on his body. "Honey, I know you are trying to prank me. I know that." There was no signs of tears in her eyes, but there was a satisfied smile hanging on her face. It was almost as if she was happy that he pranked her.

Olympia"s eyes opened wide. She looked at Brad unsure of what to say. Brad stood there silently. Words failed him. He did not know whether to console his mom or call for help. He was unsure what happened earlier. He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "h.e.l.lo, Brad Holman speaking here. Um… Yes. I would request you to come as early as possible. Yes, please come fast." Brad kept his phone down, before he went to his mother and rubbed her back. "Mom, please."

"Don"t you dare say anything! Look, he is breathing. There is a heartbeat too." Amelia mouthed. Brad furrowed his brows before concentrating on Stephan"s body. He called Olympia through consciousness stream, "Olympia, what"s going on? He is clearly alive but he seems dead."

"Master, he… he can be saved. There must be something or someone who preserved his life. But he will be in terrible pain."

"Can you help?"

"I can."

Suddenly, they were interrupted by a low whisper, "Please save him. You saved my son. You can save my husband too."

"Eh?" Brad was confused as he looked at his mother. She was looking straight at the place Olympia was kneeling.


"Although I can"t see her, I can feel her."

"Can you listen to me?" This time Olympia tried to transmit her voice inside Amelia"s mind.

"Yes."

"I can save him. But I need to get my powers back to do so, and I need to go to that place where the powers are located. I can feel the general direction, but I need to go there as soon as possible. You need to preserve his body for a day before I can do anything." She spoke in one breath.

Amelia nodded her head to indicate that she understood. Olympia eyed Brad, and each one of them was ready to fight this battle.
