THE ROYAL GHOST

(CHAPTER 5)

Insert 5

●Rerohle●

The world around me dissolved into a dense, swirling mist. Suddenly, a haunting voice echoed through the fog, beckoning me to follow: 'Rerohle, come... follow my voice...

Rerohle: Who's there?

Voice: Come, my child, come.

[My soul just followed the voice. I then saw a beautiful lady, maybe my age, sitting on a rock. She moved a little bit from the rock.]

Voice:Come, sit here.

Rerohle:Who are you, and what am I doing here?

Voice: Sit down, so you can find out, my daughter.

[I sat down next to her.]

Rerohle:Oh, my time has come, right, to meet my dead people?

Voice: No.

Rerohle:What? Then who are you, and why am I here?

Voice:You are here because it's time you learn about the real you.

Rerohle: The real me?

Voice: Yes. You see, I am your grandmother.

Rerohle: (Laughing)You joking, right? You look way younger than me.

Voice:That's because my death came when I was young, and when we reach here in the underworld , we won't get old anymore. We're stuck like this.

Rerohle: Is it? Then why am I growing?

Voice : Because you are not a ghost, my child. See, a long time ago, my father, the king, threw the biggest party for my 25th birthday. All the people from the kingdom, all four cities, came to celebrate my birthday. That's when I saw my perfect man from the White Moon Angels City. I fell in love with him immediately. My eyes landed on him, and he felt the same, even though we both knew that what we were doing was wrong. We dated in secret until I fell pregnant with your mother.

Rerohle: My mother?

Voice: Yes, your mother. My dad found out, and so did the whole kingdom. As that was an abomination, I was sent to the Gods' forest to ask for forgiveness. That time, I was only left with 24 days to give birth and 24 days to come back to the kingdom. But things went wrong when I was still on my journey to the Gods' forest. Lucifer came. Lucifer was banished from the kingdom for using her powers wrong. Her father, too, was banished, but long before her. Lucifer disguised herself as an old woman who was struggling to walk in pain. Silly me, without even thinking, I went to her to help her. Immediately I came close to her, she changed to her real self, and that was the loss of everything. She took me to the Royal River, which was only allowed for royal people . She used me to get inside. and we waited until 24 days for me to give birth. 24 days came, and I gave birth, the reason why I was supposed to go to the Gods' forest was to give the gods the child, since she was an abomination child, she had the royal powers and the white white powers. Since everyone knew about the abomination, Lucifer also did know. Lucifer used that as her advantage. She took my daughter, did rituals to gain more powers, and took her powers. She also locked my daughter's powers so that she won't be able to use her powers. And because she knew that the powers only lasted for 1 year, she took my daughter and left me there in the river to die.

Rerohle:Wow,so my mom is alive.

Voice:Yes, she is, but she's still trapped.

Rerohle: Then how come she had me if she is trapped?

Voice: That's her story to tell. All I can tell you is that the day you were born, I took your soul before Lucifer made rituals to your body, too.

Rerohle: Ain't my mother's powers enough for her?
