CATASTROPHIC DEVASTATION OF THE ANCIENT ONES by Salihu Abdullahi Ahmed - HTML preview

EPILOGUE

A month later...

Muejiz, Milli, Prissila and Abubak'r, laid on the floor, in the sitting room of the Abubak'r mansion, watching the TV, with huge cans of popcorn, giggling as a happy family should.

Katie's was on the phone, shouting joyously, at the top of her voice, "Congratulations dear! We will be flying in to meet you guys soonest." She continued, as she came in to join them, with a huge smile on her face. "Say Hi to little Ameers for me." She finished, dropping the phone.

Everyone in the room sat upright with the mention of 'little Ameers'

"Who was that?" Asked Abubak'r.

Katie, with a huge smile on her face, replied, "It's Ameer, he said he's been trying to reach you but you're not picking up. Zainab was just delivered of twin boys!" She said, shouting joyously, and everyone in the room shouted with joy and praised happily.

Moments later, Katie and Abubak'r on the sides, as Milli, Prissila and Muejiz laid between them respectively. They now watch Dr Raphael, being honoured two Nobel Prize titles, one for scientific breakthrough, and the other, for peace, by the United Nations and other bodies responsible.

"I can't believe we actually did the work while he receives all the honour and glory that comes with it." Prissila lamented as everyone burst out in another round of laughter.

"He deserves it. I mean, he made it all possible." Muejiz praised.

"Yeah! You're right." Milli said in agreement. "You know, this time last year, I was at the orphanage, with no clue as to what my life would be. But today, I'm with a real family that truly loves me." He continued. "I must say, I think, I'm the luckiest person alive." He muttered, giggling.

"I'm proud to have you all as mine," Katie said as she stretched her hand across the three of them, holding them tight to herself.

"So, can I start calling you guys Mom and Dad now?" Milli asked mockingly.

"Oh, Christ! Can you just shut up and not ruin this beautiful moment for us all?!" Prissila fired at Milli. "Thank you!" She completed and everyone rolled in a loud laugh.

"So, what do you think Luke meant about all this not being over?" Prissila asked curiously, to Muejiz.

Muejiz sighed deeply and replied, "Well, it's highly possible Lilith is still alive. And knowing her, what we saw the past months were nothing, compared to what she's truly capable of."

"How can a woman be that evil?" Katie asked inquisitively, looking surprised.

"Trust me, she's not all evil," Muejiz replied. "Lilith always have her reasons for what she does. I only don't know what this one is about." He completed, and they all stared quietly in thoughtful poses.

At one of Wayne's secret laboratories, someone sat in the dark, on a throne, similar to that of Lilith's, designed with human skulls, in the laboratory's showroom, designed like a throne room. Fey, Luke and Celeste stood close to the person, and the throne.

"Hope our next plan will be bigger and undefeatable?" Fey asked. "Mother!" She completed, turning towards the person on the throne.

"Oh, dear!" Called, Lilith's voice. "What they just witnessed was a tip of the Iceberg. This right here is the real deal!" She confessed as the throne illuminated. Lilith sat on it, looking unharmed and radiating with glorifying beauty as always.

Lilith and her children, all turned towards the Laboratory, watching the scientist working in the lab through the show glass.

The scientists, suddenly, started to mutter and roam about inside the lab, as an object placed in some sort of cocoon, made a rhythmic movement like the beat of a heart. Indicating the end is still not near.
