¤Episode 52.
The ride to Isabella house was totally filled with silence as my mind was fully occupied with
different thoughts of what could be waiting for me there.i don’t know why but I feel it inside me like
someone is watching. Mteew what am I even thinking self?,ofcourse God is watching me in his
holy throne so why will I be thinking negative things in my mind?. We got to a beautiful white gate
that look exactly like the gate of heaven that is usually used in nollywood movies.yes,that is the
best word to use in describing the beautiful long magnificent white gate.the gate open
automatically revealing a beautiful mansion and the driver drove in killing the car engine after
parking in a space of the parking space filled with different cars and we step down from the car to
see the most beautiful House I have ever come across.
“is this your dad’s house,i mean is this were you live?”.i asked rhetorically a question which I later
awarded as the most stupid question of the year as Isabella stood smiling sheepishly like
someone that won a lottery. Ofcourse she won a lottery,driving me crazy and making me feel
inferior is a lottery to win.
“Anabella”.she called which drifted me off my stare at the beautiful environment I was standing on
which could be best describe as magnificent.immedietly she pronounced that name which got me
curious of who she was referring to,something run out of the back yard, yes something,a pink thing
that is very huge it looks like a dog buy it is far greater than any dog I have ever seen and the
most surprising part of it all isit is pink in colour. I ran toward the car struggling with the car knob in
other to run inside for safety but unfortunately for me all the doors were automatically locked with
the car remote which is obviously with the driver. My mind is already filled with regret on why I
came there in the first place for a giant unknown beast to devour.
“Anabella stop. He is a friend”.i heard Isabella pronounced slowly and just like a remote control the
beast stop abruptly licking Isabella feet with it tongue while Isabella was busy smiling.
“Anabella??? “.i asked after my nerves has calm down a little.
“yes,that is her name”.
“how can you name a…….. ”
“dog”.
“you call this huge beast here a dog?”.
“yes she is an Alsatian dog,my dog and it is as old as me”.she explained and I became surprised
cos this beast before me which Isabella called a dog is almost up to my elbow with a mighty head
of valor which i could best describe as aso rock.
“but why is it pink?,I mean pink dog don’t exist or maybe I have never come across one”.
“yes they don’t exist,her real colour is plain White but I spray it to my taste,to my favorite colour”.she explain surprising me the more.
“is there any spray that can change a dog hairy skin?”.
“Yep,now enough of the question Anabella go and Great my friend”.she commanded and the dog
started heading toward me, though I was still scared but I gather my mind together waiting for her
and just as commanded it started licking my feet happily and wagging it tail.
“nice dog,i think am beginning to like this dog but am still wondering why you named her Anabella
our friend’s name”.i asked touching the dog Beautiful hairy skin.
“Lolz, I never knew by then that I will have a friend with that name,now let’s go inside”.she
elucidated and we started going in as instructed by her followed by Anabella.
______________________________________________________
We enter the house and every maids that pass us greeted us like kings.i discovered Isabella
parents were not at Home with her conversation with one of the maids and she instructed her on
what to prepare for us which she nodded in affirmative heading to where I presume to be the
kitchen followed by some of the other maids.saying that inside the House is beautiful is an insult of
the highest order, I must say Isabella family really have a good taste for the best.i choose to omit
the description of the sitting room cos if I do, we might not leave this place today so let’s save the
imagination and focus on the real reason why we are here.
_______________________________________________
OK. Now am short of word’s, Isabella’s room is something else as we heard straight from the
sitting room to her room which is upstairs and it took almost half of the flat.everywhere is pink,
there is nothing with another color in that room.
“welcome to my room”she said smiling sheepishly and she sat on her very big bed also with
Anabella whom she rested on her thigh even though there were chairs in the room and I stood
stupidly staring at the beautiful and awesome room like and idiot.
“Barbie, am beginning to fall inlove with pinks.this pink colour is beautiful”.i motioned and she
smiled.a voice was head in the Telecom which Isabella responded to and immediately the locked
door Swift open reveling a maid with a tray containing two cups,a red wine and a big plate.she
greeted us which we responded to and she place the tray on Isabella bed as commanded by
Isabella and she left.
“OK enough of the stair,lets eat”.
“what is that? “.i asked bluntly staring at her.
“pepper soup and wine as you can see”.gosh Isabella really knows what I like and that is one thing
I love so much about her, I wanted to meet her on the bed when I sighted a shining mirror at the
extreme of the wall facing the bed and as curious I can be I head toward it. I stood amazed staring
at the mirror which did not look like just a mirror as it was sparkling emanating some silver rays
even when there was no light reflecting it and I made an impact to touched it but was stopped
abruptly by Isabella voice at my back which I don’t even know how she got so fast to my back in at
the short period of time.
“don’t touch it!!”.she instructed with authority and I turned back shocked to see her cos she was on
the bed before.
“but Why shouldn’t I touch it, is just a mirror”.i retorted with a shaky voice already filled with Fear. “it is not just a mirror please don’t touch it”.she pleaded confusing me more.
“if it is not just a mirror what then is it called? ”
“the mirror of Isis”.she enunciated slowly and I stare at her wondering what she meant.
“I don’t think I have heard about that before but I don’t know what to say now”.
“please don’t say anything”.
“why?”
“because even though I explain from today to tomorrow you will not understand unless when the
Right time arrived”.
“hmmm,ok o.but what if anyone comes to your room in your absence and touch it?”.i asked
bluntly.
“they can only touch what they can see”.
“huh!!!”.
__________AS NARRATED BY ANONYMOUS DEEP INSIDE ISIAMA
RIVER_________________
luscius swim very fast into the marmaids throne room located inside the palace where the queen
mother sat alone on her throne in a deep thought which she was drifted from by luscious banged
on the door when he came in.
“eze’nwanyimmiri kedu”.he said with an unsettled mind which the queen noticed and she picked
up her mantle which was resting on her lap.
“calm down Lucius,i felt the strong presence too”.
“I should calm down?,is that all you could say?,for the past one month I have heard nothing from
my wife, I don’t know what she is doing out there,she succeeded in blocking me from visiting her
or feeling her heart,pains and thought and I don’t know how she was able to do that.she……”.
“Lucius!!!…….!”.the queen mother echoed in a loud voice interrupting Lucius lamentation with
authority.
“I repeat calm down”.she added still with the thunderous voice.
“but she is my wife, my…. “.
“and she is also my daughter.the Princess of this kingdom,the most beautiful marmaid of all.when I
say calm down you calm down,i am commanding you as your queen”.
“Gba’aram eze’nwanyimmiri”.lucious pleaded in igbo dialect forcing his mind to calm a little even
though it could be visibly seen that he is boiling inside.
“I know what Isabella use, only one thing can be use to shot down telekinesis communications
from marmaids”.
“you know?”.lucious asked fuming around the throne room like and a frustrated marmaid.
“yes.the mirror of Isis”.
“the mirror of Isis?”.
“the mirror of isis are a very powerful mirror belonging to the first clave of marmaids on the earth.
They are the most dangerous weapon in the marmaids clave which can shot down a marmaids
from seeing, communicating and felling another marmaid power and it can be use to kill another
mermaid if it is use as authorised”.the queen explain and Lucius finally sat down on one of the
available chair swinging his black tail swiftly in boiling anger. “if there is such a weapon out there in the world why then have we not seen or heard of it? “.
“because I thought there will be no need to know about it”.
“where could we find this mirror of Isis or how can we stop it from functioning?”.
“what we should be asking now is how Isabella got her hands on such a dangerous weapon.the
mirror of Isis can only be activated by the blood of a marmaid on it,for isabella to search for such
mirror which no marmaids know about in this clave and activate that mirror simply means one
thing.she has broken the Promise she made to me,only the human in her heart can see that mirror
and no marmaids can come close to her, feel her thought and communicate with her as long as
her blood is in the mirror.isabella has broken the ancient law made by the ancient marmaids
guarding all the claves of marmaids in the whole rivers in the world.Isabella has fallen in love”.she
explained and a tear fell of from her eyes turning into a silver pearls and Lucius roar so loud
shaken the foundation of the castle in anger and his eyes turned black just like his tail.
