LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AS WELL
Augur was through with his craftwork and the whole column marveled at the exact copy. Except for the little difference in the color, both scepters look so much alike, that even Bobby had to think twice before picking the right one when Augur present his masterpiece.
"Beautiful," Bobby said.
Look exactly like the original one." The grey hair general let out.
"I want to make one more scepter for myself," Augur said.
"You are fast, and am sure you will be through before the daybreak," Bobby answered back.
Augur beamed, picked up a discarded log of wood, and soon resumed his crafting.
Dija said nothing, but glared at Augur's back and wish to plunge her dagger into his heart, as she told him who she was.
"Patient Dija, patient!" Her subconscious screamed at her and she tried to suppress the avenging rage that keep raging in her mind.
"Will he have helped out if you have murdered him in cold blood?" The voice asked back.
And Dija shakes her head sideway to signify no.
"Good, now wait until he is no more useful, then descended on him and have your revenge."
"I will wait. Aye! I don't have a choice but to be patient." Dija's lips murmured back her response.
"Now you are getting wiser, remember patient is one of the attitudes of a sage."
"Aye, I will always remember this," Dija answered back in a whisper, then stunned as Bobby walked close to her.
"Are you okay?"
"Ah... Yeah sure, I am."
"You look pale."
"When don't I ? Yet I will wake up the following day with a smile that comes from a dying heart.
Bobby walked close to Dija, then seat close to her on the settee. " Will talking help?"
"Maybe, which did you think is stronger, the passion for revenge, or the desire for love?"
"Love lord over everything, and it's the basis on which the pillar of this earth is built. It's the absence of love that thrown this world into this present conditions that we are."
"What if you won't have your peace without having your revenge when your dreams are always hunted by the misdeed done against you. Please tell me if love can solve this self-madness?"
"If love won't work then I will have my revenge, then seek for my love elsewhere!"
"What if the object of your wrath, Is also the love of your life?"
"If I am to choose between love and revenge, I will choose love. Haven't you heard the saying that you must love your enemies as well?"
"Easier said than done." Dija let out. "One thing is certain, I won't have my peace without my revenge, and I will still lose it, after my revenge, is that not ironically?"
"I wish I can be of more help," Bobby said, after some moment of searching for the right words to tell this sad-looking lady.
"You already did, unfortunately, your words make my resolution more attractive."
"I pray you are saved, and you have your peace at last," Bobby said.
"I will, at the end."
Aye, won't we all?"
"What about you, Bobby. Why did you leave your family to save the world?"
"I have no family except Brenda, that was why I keep tagging along wherever she goes."
"You are lucky to have each other."
"We will be getting married, as soon as we are through with this mission, we want a safer place for our children."
"Oh, and so happy for you!" Dija exclaimed.
"Thank you," Bobby said with a wide grin that enhanced his look and makes him look more handsome.
"But beware of those twins, I saw one of them looking lustfully at you a few hours ago."
"Kira and Akira, you are joking right?"
"Am not, why will I joke with such an important statement?"
"Well, I just can't imagine either of the twins will be having a crush on me," Bobby answered with a blush.
"I don't see why you are amused, the twins are not to be joked with. They won't take no for an answer.
" I won't even give them a chance to, if what you said is through, then I need to be far from them."
"You better be, it won't be funny if you get bewitched by them."
"You know I was a critic before all this happened, the twins had been able to prove the power of magic to me. I mean, how will they bewitch such a staggering amount of people and ordered them around like their slaves?"
"Dark sorcery" Dija answered back. "They must be stopped by all means."
"Not yet, we have no plan of attacking them, as long as they don't attack first." Bobby let out.
"I believe they are already thinking about this, or probably sneaking into our camp and sniffing around."
"Well, the scepter is here, and their sniffing is useless."
"Yes, the two things they desire are here with me?" Dija said with a sly smile.
"Two things, what did you mean?"
"You and the scepter."
"Please stop your joke!"
"Am not Bobby, before all gods and goddesses, I saw the desire In the eyes of one of them, and it was desperate."
As If knowledgeable by Dija, the twins were seen sneaking into the camp of Brenda and her members.
"Shh!" Kira hushed her speaking sister, as she saw a shadow of a man looming far off.
"He can't hear us, I have instructed the wind not to blow our words towards him." Her sister answered back.
"I bet Bobby will be in Brenda's room."
"Yes, we can have him and the scepter tonight." Akira let out.
"And Brenda must not be spare, she must be killed."
"Yes, her death will stop his love of her."
"Shhh."
They can't hear us!"
The twins sneaked passed the sleeping men, then emerged at the front of her door.
Both suddenly stopped at the sight of the blood, and the grotesque sight of the headless men.
"What is going on?" Akira asked in a whisper?"
"I have no idea." Her sister answered back.
Both twins looked at each other, then raced to the entrance of Brenda's room, and gasped as a strange entity held two ladies in the neck with two among his four hands.
"What the hell are you?" Kira cried out, removed her daggers, then flung two at the entity.
As soon as Seoul veered back and lessened his grip on Maria and Brenda, both ladies punched him in the stomach, then wriggle out of his grasp.
Seoul looked menacingly at the two look alike twins in his front, then his menacing look suddenly turned to that of surprise at the sight before him and he exclaimed with shock. "You aren't humans, but demons like me!"
"Yes, and why are you here?" Kira asked with a fixed gaze.
"I want the scepter "
"For what?" Akira asked.
"The king of the aliens asked me to bring it in exchange for my freedom," Seoul answered back. Never in his wildest imagination has ever imagined he will be seeing anyone, except humans and aliens. The sight of the twins shocks him to the marrow.
"Unfortunately, we want the scepter, as well," Kira said.
"You will need to pass through us to get it," Akira added.
"It doesn't have to come to this, please give me the scepter, or I will be forced to kill anyone who stands in my way. Humans, aliens, or demons."
"Then it will be the fight of the titans," Kira answered back.
During the brief conversation that takes place between Seoul and the twins, Brenda and Maria had leaped off the grasp of the demon, and both glared as he converses with the twins in a perfect English language.
"The World is filled with different species and all were made by a wonderful creator!" Brenda exclaimed at the sight of an entity that looked like one of the antagonists in one of the movies she watched as a kid.
"He looks like Goro, because of his four arms and legs!" Maria exclaimed. Just as if she was reading Brenda's thoughts.
"Am I that transparent? People seemed to pick on my thought, even before the idea was out of my head!" Brenda grimaced at another line of thinking that suddenly plunge into her mind.
"What should we do?" Maria asked as Seoul looked threateningly at the twins, then at his former captive.
Let's get to safety, while I call Horus to inform him of this sudden emergence of demons among humans." Brenda answered back, and both of them instantly raced far from the fight that was bound to happen between the twins and their co demons.
"Why are the twins in our camp?" Maria asked.
"Why will they sneaked inside, and left their bodyguard's Zombies? If not because of the scepter."
"And this entity that called himself Seoul was also here because of the scepter as well?"
"Yes," Brenda answered back. "Good thing the scepter is with Augur and the people with him."
"Not a coincidence, we are favored by a divine power," Maria answered back.
"Who God have already favored, no one can fashion any plan," Brenda announced, brought out the device given to him by Horus, then waited patiently as the phone rang thrice.
"Hello." A voice that sounded as if annoyed to be jolted out of a well-deserved sleep boomed from the gadget.
"We are under attack from an entity that called himself Seoul," Brenda said.
"Seoul? Get your arse away from his vicinity, he is the lord of death and fear and unstoppable."
"He barged into our room and attacked us, we are save by the twins."
"Oh... Please get off his side, I will be there in a few minutes. Horus screamed over the phone .
