The Augury

Part 71

[Sfiso]
I was woken up by my phone ringing next to me, I turned around and notice that Cebo was not next to me,
" Mngadi" I answer while yawning
Him: where is Cebo "
Me: I don't know I just woke up, ufunani? "
Him: you told Mbali that I must call you that question belongs to you...so ufunani? "
I yawned and set up straight, my day is ruined just to hear the sound of Mvelo arrogant voice it just  irritated me to the core
Me: we in Mseleni and Cebo just found out about the man who violated her....she did not take the new ok, a part of her resents Alex and hate her because of the blood that runs in his vain "

Him: fuck I knew this was going to happen... "
Me: hold up you knew!!"
Me: I have been dragging my feet because of this, if that shit happens in Alex's eyes hell would have broken loose "

Me: aish yah, no child was going to take the words she said lightly, she called her child lot of mean words,  mfethu she was depressed cried and was an emotional rack "
Him: I know this will sound insensitive but it's about time ...look if you look at life we all try to do the best we can but the world is full of unexpected twist and turns and just when you’ve gotten the lay of the land, the ground underneath you shifts and knocks you off your feet. If you’re lucky you end up with nothing more than flesh wounds, something a band-aid will cover but some wounds are deeper than they first appear and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip off the band-aid, let them breathe, and give them time to heal along the way . . .
we running out of time and Alex is getting darker, if Cebo does not sort her shit out we losing this child and there no coming back "
I ran my hands on my face

Me: I know...I know, Mbali is on my case about it too...how is he?" I say feeling sad I don't why but I kinda feel connected to this boy maybe it's because I know the struggle of not feeling like you belong,
Him: he's just a boy who needs his mother more than anything in the world right now, he just discovers his origin and feels disconnected from the women who gave birth to him, Cebo is the only person who can stop this turbulence
in his life ...so tell me how should I explain to you on how is he ?"

I sigh and nodded
Me: I will speak to her, when do you need us there ?"
Him: I would say now but I need that wound to bleed in Cebo heart before she can face Alex, she not good to meet this boy if she still has doubts and parental  issues ...she needs to deal with that shit first"
Me: I know ...that why she needs to face her mother...her past I hope that would build her up to be a better Parent to Alex than break her even more "
Him: I trust you have her best interest at heart and since you father, a single father I know you will help her understand the meaning between the love of a parent to a child "

His right The feeling of love is first introduced by parents to their kids. Love is a route to a positive attitude. A child who doesn't know what unconditional love is, won't know what being loved is. We all look up to our families at difficult times for support and love. If parents won't give that feeling to a child, he will start looking for it in the outside world and become vulnerable to various problems in Alex's case will give to a dark world. In this mean world where only pain is emotion, feeling, love, and everything he will but obviously develop a negative attitude because for him everything is delivered against a price. Hence to him, anything that comes in lieu of a price will not hold any value. He won't love anyone, he won't care for anyone. So Mvelo is right Cebo needs to know love to give love,  I'm trying but a man can only do so much for a girl that was betrayed by people she trusted.

Me: sure...look let me get to it...keep me updated ok"
Him: ya sure... ooh and Sfiso stop Fornicate with Cebo, in her dreams its the only place she able to meet her son...she can't do that with a wet private part....control yourself mani!"
Me: what? "  I drop my mouth open
He dropped the call on me, God who is this guy?

" how is Sbahle?" I asked him the minute he walked in the kitchen,
He drops his phone call and shoves it into his pocket,
Him: I don't know, when she is under the water I can't connect with her "

I ran my hands on my hair and looked at him, know about Mvelo, Nkonzo, and a bit of mama Khumalo spiritual world,  but when it comes to Sbahle it's always a mystery, I know Mvelo will say no more after this, I have tried to dig but it has not gotten me anywhere, I wonder what is she? ...why she gives birth under the water? Why does she spend most of her days in her waterfall, you know some
Women get a pool or jacuzzi but No!  Queen Mnguni has a big exotic beautiful garden that leads to her ever clear and blue waterfall ...for some strange reason I think she might be a mamade, I mean she is beautiful and Mvelo is enchanted by her.

Him: stop thinking about matters that do not concern you and let's talk about Alex "
I drop the knife and look at him, I hate it when he does this
Him: what? Your thoughts are too loud " his eating his food not even looking at me, I laugh and shake my head

Me: tell me about Alex's condition?"
Him: you so white really you calling his gift a condition"
Him: boy just tell me in English that mambo Jambo you told him last night"

He laughed and moved his hair from his face
" so this thing is like...every hybrid got two sides that makes him gifted, you know that I have The beast his Ngonyama... you know the lion, they say its curse because he's aggressive, arrogant, hot-headed,
And loves killing, so the more I grow up the more its feeds into me, only Sbahle can calm me down, or should I say tame me ...and on the flip side I have this divine spirit more like Mbali's calling, but I don't heal by touch I heal with prayer so I'm connected to heaven trough prayer that why they call me a prince of light, Mama says ngine sithunywa.

So this two-element inside of me is like water and fire, if one overpower the other its means I lose control and balance of who I am"

I nod his making a lot of sense but what does it have to do with Alex
Him: I'm telling you this because it's similar to Alex, but different, I was born by two pure supernatural true blood with different spiritual calling ...but Alex is born good and by evil, and the tattoo is a true definition of what I'm trying to say "

Me: How so?"
Him: he did not walk into a tattoo shop and made it but it manifested in him, just like how the color of my eyes has changed over the years"
Me: I see but dude all I'm seeing is a  ying and can symbol, the big ass tattoo that running all around his chest and arm?"

Him: ya in the human eye it's just a big ying yan tatoo, but in our eyes, it's a whole different thing, so to understand it, let me break down to you,  the symbol is split its two constituent parts." He takes sugar and sprinkle it on the table and takes coffee beans and sprinkle it on the opposite side of the sugar, he uses his finger and starts drawing the ying yan signe

Hi: The Yin, or the dark side ( he points at the coffee), is associated with everything hard, negative, cold, wet, and feminine. The Yang ( he points at the sugar), is the light side, is associated with things soft, positive, warm, dry, and masculine. the balance of the two is the most important aspect. The two forces are opposing but complementary. The symbol is about not pushing back but accepting life’s contrasts and learning to see the good, and the bad, in everything"

I stood up, And look at him
Him: Alex has shades of dark all around his chest because his ying is more powerful and darker, you see with the yang he has the spirit of dream walker"
Me: what ?"
Her: his gifted...they call him a dream walker...dream catcher or dream chaser, "
Me: a what now?"
Him: he was  born a witch, with an ability to  enter people's dreams and show people their past, future, and present without using memory potions."

Him: that's impossible...
Him: Austine, Alex is born from a chain of pure pagan blood..."
Me: what? ..."
Him: Nomcebo is a high priest's or an  oracle ...she is immortal she is reborn every after few centuries  incarnate in a new body designed to work with the Augury, Silas knew that Nomcebo was chosen that's why he used the blood of her children to have access in killing the coven witches "

I held my mouth and looked at him,
Me: if Silas used the blood of Cebo children killed them and sacrifice them to fulfill his purpose where  does that leave Alex?"
He just looked at me with his hand on his chin
" please answer him what does that make or leave me ?"
We turned and found Alex looking at us
