Chapter 70- A Change in Balance
Cecel
My spy finally came through and I was ready to hear better information. I was starting to eat my dinner when she walked through the door. “Hey boss man” she said with a sarcastic tone. “Don’t waste my time Riz. Report NOW” I growled at her. “Ok, ok” Riz responded and then took a seat. “Just so you know, you’re not going to be happy” she stated and that got me giving her a scowl.
“Anyways, I was kept helping the people, but the girls can’t stop talking about what happens with the royal family.” “She gave birth and died. They just buried her today” Riz finished speaking.
“WTF!!” I shouted and cleared everything off the table. All these years of waiting for things to turn out like this. “I wasn’t allowed to attend but she was put in the sacred grounds. Thought you might want that info” Riz spoke nonchalant. “She wasn’t buried?” “Nope. Per some tradition” she responded.
I walked away from the room and went straight into my office. I went straight to my safe and took out the scripts of Helio’s family prophecy. I looked over the last pages and found it. ‘After death you will complete the transformation and become one with the Great Phoenix’. If she is, she will come back more powerful than before.

After spending time with my babies and our moms eating breakfast, I sat down alone with CJ and got him to tell me everything that happened. I stayed quiet the whole time he spoke but once he finished I was really left speechless. I just kept staring at CJ dumbfounded. I could tell he was starting to worry about me.
I snapped out of it and blinked really fast. I felt this rush of memories come right through me. It wasn’t just my memories; it was every of the Great Phoenix’s life memories. So, many things, places and people. The wars each life has gone through and clarity about the prophecy.
I opened my eyes and CJ was over me crying and yelling frantically. “What happened?” I asked worriedly. “Estas bien muñeca? (Are you ok sweety?)” he asked emotionally. “I’m fine. Did something happened?” I asked reluctantly. “Mi amor, you been nonresponsive for 5 minutes. I thought I lost you again” he spoke and held me tight.
“I remember everything. Where’s daddy?” I asked with determination. But before he could even respond or answer me I mind-linked dad. ‘Dad, can you come into our new room? I have some information’. I could feel his shock and anger. ‘Whoever this is, it is not funny?’ he responded with a lot of anger. Before I could say anything CJ was in the mind-link. ‘Pops please come to the room and is not a joke. Please just hurry’. ‘How did you do that?’ I asked him.
“Is not me muñeca, it’s you” were his response. I tilted my head at him and that got a smile from him. “You mind linked pops, but I got it too. I’m guessing you didn’t do it intentionally” he ended his reasoning. Right as I finally kissed CJ our door burst open. We both turned our heads and dad’s jaw dropped to the floor.
I’ve never seen that look on his face but on everyone’s face that has seen me so far. I couldn’t help it and burst it out in laughter. Next thing I knew I was involved in these huge strong arms. Then I heard sobbing as I was being held tighter. “I thought I lost you baby” he whispered sob. “I love you daddy” is all I could say and held him as tight as I could.
Once he calmed down, he looked at me up and down while holding my face. I know he was trying to make sure it was really me. I grabbed his hands and kissed them and said, “It’s me, dad. And we got no time to waste”. He looked at me strangely along with CJ who was looking at our interactions with a smile. We all took a seat in the suite’s living room.
“I remember everything and more. Dad, the reason you’ve been in a loosing battle with Cecel is because he stole the ancient scripts that hold the details of what happens for my final transformation and the possibilities of what my powers might be” I paused and took a breath. “I have reached my final transformation, and my abilities are something he should fear. I had to die to accomplish the final transformation. Cecel did everything to try to groom me to be his and utilize me to take over everyone”. Dad was going to say something, but I stopped him.
“He knows I’m dead because you have a traitor in here. What he doesn’t know is that I’ve returned. When we awake, we are blank minds. What awakes us after the 4th day of death is the touch of someone with intentions to wake us. Whether the person is good or bad. We are dead for one day and 3 days to adjust the body for transformation. After a bit all memories return but not just the persons, also all the Great Phoenix’s lives” I finished speaking.
It took a minute before someone finally spoke up. “When you say ‘we’, what does that mean?” asked dad. “Everyone before me and myself” I simply responded. “Hey guys. I think the ladie..” I hear Angel speaking as he walks in the room and stops in his tracks. It took him just a moment and he ran towards me picked me up and hugged me tight.
“Hey papa Angel” I greeted him. “So is true what the ladies said. How mija?” I he kept rambling questions. I put my hand up and he took a deep breath. ‘Moms please come here now’. I could sense their shock but didn’t say anything else. They came into the suite with big smiles. “Who have you told about me being back from the death?” I asked them both with serious faces.
“Sorry mija. It was just Angel and Lady Marisol when she was preparing breakfast” Sheera answered quickly. “Are you sure? We are trying to keep it hidden until the traitor is found” I let them know. By the expression on everyone’s face they understood.
