"Adom was buried in Gotham and the dagger was taken. How to dig my father up starts with Wayne Enterprises." Novena says crossing her hands along with her legs
"How so?" Asks Bruce
"My dearest brother and I met your father a long time ago. When he was your sons age." She explained tossing back some of her dark-colored ringlets of hair "Genevieve and her Coven did of course lock him away but with technology advancing we needed some reassurance. On this chip shows the necessary equipment to take my father from his tomb. Thomas' design of course." She sighs biting her lower lip. Then snapped her head towards them, "And I refuse to let anyone take him away from there. My brothers and I have been safe for centuries. I won't let you jeopardize that. We finally are enjoying life I won't let you ruin it-"
"Ms. Ivanov," Damian cuts in "if I may ask, why did you trust him with it? Why is it now becoming a concern?"
"Because," Novena began "People- you mortals are so selfish and hungry for money. They think of it as treasure, just like the Ellington's."
Damian gulped. Ellington's meant Valarie's parents. Her family. His heart spread up listening to her talk about them
"Nikola and I took it back. We were going to destroy it before anyone else came looking for it. Some guy named Garcia was talking about it and I sent my brother Nikola to gather information." Novena replied
"You knew my father?" Bruce asks still very much stuck in that.
"I did. He was so very kind to me. When I was not looking out for my brothers I spent my days with him in the workshop." She giggles "Thomas was..." Her eyes float to the window aimlessly "he had a vision for Gotham. He and I worked closely for many years trying to work up a cure that pollutes these streets. He was very curious about my powers and my family's past. Nikola and I are considered as honorary Gods and that fascinated him."
Bruce watched how she placed her hand on her heart. Of course, he wanted her to keep going, "Perhaps you could swing by the manor. I'd like to know more about his work." Just not today
"Excellent idea." They all looked up and saw Nikola standing there. "We are only here for a short while. Maybe Damian and I could talk more about the Ellington's?"
Damian rubbed his lips together and sucked in a breath. He wasn't really sure how to go about answering but it seemed nodding his head was a good enough answer.
"What about the dagger?" Asks Dick picking up the chip "And how come you guys haven't destroyed this yet?"
"Mr. Grayson I can assure you that the dagger is safe. Far away from Gotham most likely. As for the chip...we never destroyed it because it will be needed one day to unbury my father." Nikola holds out his arm for his sister to take as they give him a stare of confusion
Happy to enlighten them, Novena answers, "Genevieve lost half of her coven to keep my Father from killing not only our family but other people. They only had enough strength to lock him away not kill him. I'm sure your witch could be of service of riding the earth of him forever."
"I am quite tired. Some rest before should do us well." Says Nikola taking his sisters hand as the two exit the Diner.
"Brother, do you think we can trust them?" asks Novena "Do you see them as good mortals?"
"Well, of course, sister. When the time comes, they will help us because their witch will need help," he answered kissing her head then stopping.
"What's wrong?" She asks as the wind tossed her hair across her face
"For centuries...you have always taken care of us. You've used the gifts the Gods gave you to help us. While I was in your mind...I felt all your pain Novena." Nikola said tearing up as he took a hold of his sisters hands. "And I am sorry. I never let you grieve over our mother or our siblings. I never let you take a second to enjoy your own life because I never let you put yourself before us, sister. Maybe your lover would still be alive if I had-"
"Oh hush now Nik." She shhed wiping away his tears. "Do not blame yourself. Family always comes first, I knew that. You were all my responsibility." Novena told him bringing her brother into a hug. "When father was put away we made a promise to each other. Gavril you and I swore something to each other."
"Blood is blood. Our own blood protects our own blood. " he mumbles into her jacket
"A blood bond we share for all eternity."
NO worries guys! Valarie is in the next chapter I swear, I recently had a few ideas from friends and they were really good so I am going to add it in there.
Anyway, I just thought you should know that she didn't disappear and I hope you guys are happy with the chapters to come because the book is ending soon!
