Lillian s.h.i.+vered a bit listening to the boy"s words. "What!? What do you mean!!?" She frowned looking at the boy. Several thoughts were now circulating in her head, at a single time. Is he having dreams too? But why will he have those dreams? He is not even in contact with the bracelet and the sword is yet not found.
"I do not even know, what I mean. All I know is that I have to protect Rosy and Rhehan. That is why I am here to fulfill my duty!" James sighed and sat on the couch, looking helplessly at his mother.
"What else do you know?" Lillian looked at the boy in surprise.
"Huh? You don"t look so surprised to me mom! Do you already know about it?" James asked feeling perplexed.
"Yes! What I want to know is that why do you have this feeling that something bad is going to happen!?" Lillian asked in a worried tone.
"It is because of those dreams. From past one week, I had been reminded of my duty towards my sister. I was told to be her brother in this life by Khufu, who was my brother in the previous life, who is now Rhehan." James blurted rapidly and covered his face in embarras.e.m.e.nt. "I know mom, you will think I am going crazy. I totelly get it. But it is all true. Not just me but all of us have reincarnated, I know this for sure!" James looked at his mom in hesitation.
"How are you so sure that all these dreams are true?!" Lillian asked in surprise.
"It is because, I used to see a metallic bracelet, being made in fire, with some ashes, derived... derived from...Ro....Enchantress. I used to visualise that dream everyday, so that I could recollect its design anytime I want. Later, I spotted that bracelet in Rhehan"s wrist. Though he was wearing a coat, and I only saw only half of it for a few seconds, but I miraculously spotted it and could immediately recognise it. It was then that I realised that my dreams do hold a meaning and I had to go back home immediately. I completed my shoots as soon as possible and took a fifteen days of leave!" James got up from the couch and started walking in the living room restlessly.
Lillian sighed looking at James, feeling remorseful. She had several thoughts going around in her head. Is this some sort of warning to us? Is the bracelet trying to bring us together and form one team? Does this mean that something big is going to happen very soon. "James!!" Lillian looked at James in antic.i.p.ation, as if going to confess something very big. "What ever dreams, you are seeing are indeed true. We all are reincarnated, to fight against Horus and his right hand man, Augus! He killed your sister in her previous life and also... also... he had killed me, to attain our ashes." Lillian pursed her lips, looking at James" surprised face.
"You... You know all this already!!? Then why did you not tell me mom!?" James looked at his mother in surprise.
"I did not expect it to start so soon. We don"t even have the sword. How are you already getting these dreams, I fail to understand. From past two days, Lee has been travelling in search of the sword!!" Lillian covered her face in despair.
"You mean brother"s sword. Which we placed besides him, in his coffin!?" James gulped in fear, listening to his mother"s words. Everything that he had ever dreamt of in past one week, was being spoken by his mother.
"Y... Yes!" Lillian looked at James in nervouseness as he talked about Rhehan in a brotherly way. "You seem to have quite an impact of that dream already!"
"Yes! I am determined. I know, I am the prime protector of my sister and you!" James looked with determination in his eyes.
"Then as a prime protector, I must tell you, why you were a.s.signed to protect specially us. We both were the only enchantress, in the entire universe. The qualities of an enchantress are not related to our skin, but to our soul. With our deaths, our ashes were used, but then it does not kill away our qualities!" Lillian looked at James, at the verge of tears.
"What do you mean mother!?" James looked at Lillian in surprise, as if already having a hint of what was she going to say next.
"I mean... we both are still the enchantresses, our ashes, still play the same role that they played earlier. Using our ashes, another sword can be created which can fight Khufu"s sword." Lillian sighed, placing her hands on her face.
"What!!?? Are you sure!!?? Who said that to you!!" James looked at the lady in horror.
"The old master, who is now our guide and teacher. He told this to us a few days back. He wanted to be sure, so he took a few strands of my hair and tried to create the same material, and this was formed." Lillian took out a thin metallic ring, made from her hair. "I wanted you to wear this and had been thinking of excuses to make you wear it. But since you already know, its importance then it is even better!"
James looked at the ring in surprise, holding it between his fingers. "But... But I thought, that it is just the ashes from... from the bones!"
"Yes! We thought so too. But old monk, was still in doubt, as the ashes could also be created from hair and skin, so he wanted to try it!" Lillian spoke in a sad tone.
"Gos.h.!.+ This implies to Rosy too! I hope Augus and Horus do not know about it!" James spoke up, when suddenly somebody rang the door bell again.
"I wonder who it must be, so early in the morning!" Lillian whispered and frowned looking at the door.
"Oh! It must be Kareem. I had called him home to share everything with him!" James heaved a sigh of relief, wearing the ring in his right hand, walking towards the door happily.
