Labyrinth Legacy- ONE - Formation Of The Squad

12.The Story

It's been around 27 years ago. A lady who is about 28, is sitting in a room that looks like a biology lab. She is doing some writing, her ID card shows the name, Dr. Tiana Admos.
A man who looked around 30 came there and said,
'Tiana, there's a problem!'
What? is it about our daughter, Jordan? Tiana asked while continuing to write.
No, it's not Agnes, you had a call from your mother, Jordan stopped.
For a minute, Tiana stopped writing and looked at his face, and asked, what's it?
It's about your father, I am sorry, Jordan said sadly.

They both reached her father's funeral along with her daughter Agnes who looks around one year old. Tiana moves towards a lady who looks around 50 and calls,
'Mother.'
Tiana, you came, mother hugged her and cried.
I am sorry mother, Tiana cried.
It's alright, Hi Agnes, mother holds Agnes from Jordan's hand.
Tiana walked away from there and stood near a lake alone. Someone came and stood behind her. She knew who it was, she just smiled. The man behind her said, 'I know you will come'.
He's my father too, Theo, she replied without turning.
Did you miss me, sister, Theo asked.
Theo looks around 25 and he is handsome.
Yes brother, badly. Long time no see brother, she turned and hugged him.
Where's my niece? Theo asked.
With her father, Tiana replied.
Did he come? Tiana asked.
Not yet, Theo replied and continued, 'You heard about the incident, it's been five years, I don't know whether he overcame it or not', Theo sighed.
I heard it, she was pregnant too? Both of them, it must be a hard time for him, Tiana said emotionally.
I don't think he will come, I messaged him since he didn't take my call, Theo said.
He will come, Tiana said confidently.
Aunt Elizabeth was looking for you, Theo said.
I know, it's only she and our father in our family who crossed 50 years. She is free, no family nothing, Tiana said.
Not true, she has two adopted sons, Felipe and Fergus, look the two ones standing beside her, Theo said and showed her an old lady sitting in the chair which is Elizabeth, and young Felipe and Fergus standing near her.
Tiana and Theo both went near her.
Aunt, Tiana called her.
Tiana, my niece. Who finally reached here, Elizabeth said.
Yes, aunt, Tiana replied.
You and Titus both of you run from your duties, didn't believe anything, still do not believe anything, I feel pathetic towards you, the aunt said in anger.
Aunt, Theo tried to stop her.
Only, you Theo, you were there for your father, you and Titus were like your mother, don't believe anything! Then why did you come now, Tiana? Aunt asked angrily.
Aunt, he is my father, she replied.
Father? He begged you to stay, but you chose to run. What is it that didn't convince you? What is it that you didn't believe? Aunt continued to yell.
Because this family has an insane legacy, someone said angrily from behind. Everyone looks for the sound and it's a man who looks around 31.
Titus, the aunt said surprisingly.
Brother you came, Tiana went near him happily and hugged him.
Hi sister, hi Theo, aunt, stop your accusations over her, we choose to move rather than believing your stupid stories, Titus said.
Our legacy is not stupid, it's a labyrinth, it's complex, and we need to solve it, the aunt said.
We don't need that, Theo believed everything, he must be your right partner, Titus said.
What happened after you decide to live your life? aunt asked.
Aunt! Theo stopped her angrily.
Titus became sad and he left there.
Tiana, if you run from your duties you will also end up like him. You will lose everything you cared about, aunt stopped.
Tiana left them angrily.

What's the matter? Jordan asked Tiana.
They were in her room. Tiana is making her daughter sleep.
Nothing, I am just thinking, Tiana didn't talk much.
She laid her daughter in the cradle and left the room. Outside on the balcony, Titus is standing thinking of something.
You didn't sleep, Tiana asked.
Nope, some memories are more horror than a nightmare, Titus said.
I am sorry, Tiana said.
Mm, Titus kept silent.
You don't believe what father used to say, about our family, Tiana asked.
No, I don't, I don't know why, I don't want to believe it, Titus said and he left.
Tiana walked through a narrow path behind her house and she reached a desolate place. She removed many bushes and there was an underground door. The door was locked. She tried to open it.
You need a key to open it, Theo said from the back.
You scared me! Tiana said.
Here's the key. Father wishes to give this to Titus, but he doesn't accept. He wants you to support him, and you didn't do that. The one who left is me. So I take care of it. Here is a book Father left for you and Titus. Read it and with belief use the key to open this door, Theo said and left.
Tiana takes that old book, the pages are torn. She read those books and breathed heavily like she was scared. She ran to that door and opened it. In that room, there is a big map of the world and many writings, many mantras and all.
Tiana, the aunt called her.
Aunt, is it true? About that island? About demons? Tiana asked.
It is, it's also true that you are a witch. Females in our family are supposed to do witchcraft, the aunt said.
So you can? Tiana asked.
You know, it is difficult to survive in our family. Everyone dies at a young age because we are not supposed to live here, we should live on that island. When I was 20, I had an accident, I used my whole magic to save my life. I lost everything, I couldn't help my brother, I couldn't find the island, I couldn't do anything. I become useless, the aunt said emotionally.
Don't worry, I believe you, I help you to find the island, Tiana said.
Are you crazy? Titus interrupted.
What? Now she did the right thing, Theo supported Tiana.
If there is some truth I need to find it. I read the book, there's nothing on the island, Tiana said.
I searched the whole map and this dungeon, but nothing of the island, Theo said.
Then how are you gonna find it, Titus said sarcastically.
Why do we have that scar? Tiana asked.
The scar? Titus asked.
Yes! It's the scar! I know, how to find the map, Tiana said and left from there.
Everyone followed her. She went to their family tomb.
Dig it, Tiana said to Theo.
What? Theo asked shockingly.
Dig it, she said confidently.
Theo digs it.
Tiana began to chant a particular mantra. Suddenly some light comes from the tomb and it forms like a map.
Everyone was surprised to see it, even Titus.
Oh god! Titus said with amusement.

Now what? Theo asked while everyone was sitting.
We are going to the island, the aunt said.
What? Jordan asked.
Yes, we need to go! Tiana said.
Are you mad Tiana? Believing these stories! Jordan asked.
I had to believe it. What if the stories are true? What if 27 years later these demons come here, it will attack our daughter? I need to do something, Tiana said.
Ok, we went there then what? How will we kill the sleeping demons? Titus asked
We can't kill a demon, the aunt said.
Why? Jordan asked.
We need two things to kill a demon. The first one is, the weapon made by a voodoo witch, voodoo witches are not anymore, the aunt said.
The second? Titus asked.
The youngest living descendant is a one-year-old girl, the aunt said.
What? Our daughter? Jordan asked angrily.
Yes, it is our daughter who is supposed to kill them. Even if the stories are true, they come to attack her. She needs an army to protect her. I am going to create it, Tiana said confidently.
How? Titus asked.
Even after you die, even after you used every magic, some will always remain inside you, the aunt said
We will go to the island. We will find the dead remains of the people who lived there. I will siphon their magic and I create new ones of their type. The strong ones, flying ones, shapeshifters, fighters, even the voodoo witch. A perfect army, Tiana sighed.
