Ajax lives a mundane life.
Then, one day, he meets North.
And, it seems they are starting to fall in love.
The problem is that only Ajax can see North.
A supernatural boy's love story.
Luca and Oisin listened carefully to what Henry would like to say.
"There is a way to tarnish the High General of the Forest clan's irrefutable reputation."
"Our ruse that Oisin will help North abduct Helios would only enrage three clans - the Phoenix, the Vatr and the Forest. However, this may arouse suspicion against Aeolian clan. The three our clan leaders may think that we, the Aeolians, are the ones pulling the strings." Henry paused. "Well, in a way, yes."
Henry stood up from his seat and walked just a little near the edge of the gazebo footsteps. He, then, started picking the stars as if there were berries in the Heaven.
As Henry plucked those stars in the sky and placed it on his hand, one after another those stars turned into gemstones. And, those seventy-two bead size stones, he threw in the air when he turned around and face Luca and Oisin.
The bead gemstones remained suspended in in mid-air and formed a necklace.
"This is the necklace of Mala." Henry the stones as a visual aid.
Both Luca and Oisin grasped.
"I thought it was just a myth. A fictional story that has been pass on from generations after generation."
"No. The necklace of Mala does exists." Luca said. "It is protected and hidden by the Council of Regents deep in the heart of Klassischer oder Tholosnuraghe.
"So, the ritual of Mala is true?" Oisin asked.
"Yes." Luca said.
"It is said that a newly ascended king of a clan must wear the necklace of Mala for seven days and seven nights without food and water. The new king of a clan must pass all seven stages of the trials. If he does, the necklace of Mala will impale itself to the king's flesh and will become the true of Adamah."
"You are the most recent ascended king in Adamah, have you taken the test?"
"Yes," Henry replied.
There was silence.
"And?" Oisin asked curiously.
"I failed." Henry scratched his head and laughed.
