Somewhere in the thick of the Ajala evil forest, Kotonu, Grace is seen composing a letter to her beloved Roméo, Kingsley.
She had not much time as she was dieing from the wounds she got from the war(TJB ch.203).
Her time in this world was limited and she been all alone in the evil forest, having no one to talk to but the grey pigeon with a broken wing.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
There was no way out for her as her death came creeping whilst taking its time.
When she was done, she wrapped it and gave it to the pigeon and mustered up the remains of her healing abilities to heal Grey Pigeon whispering to it in words only both of them could understand.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
With this, she spirited herself away into the shadows and Grey Pigeon was healed. Grey Pigeon flew towards the Northern proctectorate where Kingsley now resided.
On getting to the Northern proctectorate, it saw what its eyes would never have imagined.
Kingsley leading Grace’s enemy’s troops, Dark Knight Ajagun.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Knowing how much Grace fought so hard for his sake, Kingsley did an ungrateful deed. What made the second Journey Book Possessor join with the evil aliance, Grey Pigeon had no idea.
Unfortunately, Grey Pigeon was shot down by Hot shot Oyani, while trying to run away.
Oyani was the best shooter the world could ever find, he could shoot and aim accurately using any projectile weapon or any projectable weapon/object.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Oyani was a one time Journey Book holder and a legendary Gandonian knight.
It seemed Dark knight Ajagun had lots of good, popular, famous, strong and intelligent personalities in his team.
Hot shot Oyani delivered Grey Pigeon who suddenly went back to his normal shape, a human, to Dark knight’s fourth in command, General Odia, the Diving musician, plays all instruments of music with his mind and controls the very minds of those who hear him play. Aside this technique, he had other tremendous gifts, that which promoted him to 4th in command to General Martin the Lousy Saint.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
They had him searched and found Grace’s letter to Kingsley. Kingsley was immediately summoned and he was made to read the letter aloud to their hearing since they could barely read her handwriting.
Kingsley was shaking with fear, but he had to prove his loyalty to the man who killed his parents and fiance.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
He read,
“To my dear beautiful king.
I wish our love remain stronger than ever even in death. The lord over my heart, i pray thee a swift and enduring life…
The amazing glint of light that explodes within my heart chambers, please live for me.
I wish to live yet this minute for you, but, in the form i shall now take, I’ll protect you till the end of time.
My promise of love to you my sole possessor.
Grace”
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
“Aw!” they all muttered in disbelief.
“Can you imagine that? A girl writing a love letter to a guy” they mocked
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
“That’s none of your business Odia, its called love” Grey Pigeon said.
“You lousy bird being! How dare you?” Oyani’s temper flared up sending a slap and another to Grey’s face.
“You call that love?” Odia asked. “That is just insane.”
Grey tried arguing with Odia but he was imprisoned along side Kingsley.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Kingsley waited in prison without shedding no tears. It was as though he didn’t care anymore about Grace or about this life.
With this hope of proving himself a subject to Dark knight Ajagun, he closed his eyes and faded into the darkness of the cell.
