out the cell phone once outside watching for anything to find the scenery boring him due to not finding much cars coming in sight in the road.

  He pressed the dialed in number and heard the driver’s voice on the phone “I’m on my way, please wait.”

  Jinx frowned as the driver hung up and he put the cell phone away in his pocket to stand with arms folded watching the wind blew the trees repeatedly over and over despite breaks of doing it. He stood and waited as the vehicle came driving up and stopped which he spied the familiar female in the driver’s seat and he went inside to sit and froze seeing Deidrick sitting in a seat opposite from him with a glare on his face.

  Jinx kept his face blank as Deidrick spoke “I don’t find it amusing that you put my wife to sleep which powerful addicting medicine had to be used to wake her up.”

  Jinx leaned back in the seat and folded his arms eyes on Deidrick who continued speaking “Put my wife to sleep again. I'll see that you pay dearly for that. I don't care if your a deity or not.”

  Jinx narrowed his eyes at the threat and Deidrick's wording referring him as a deity. He kept his mouth shut as Deidrick glared at him with a boring narrowed eyed look. Jinx turned his head away to look out the window.

  He heard Deidrick speak again “I like my cell phone back so hand it over now.”

  He unfolded his arms and got out the cell phone tossing it to Deidrick who caught it.

  He again looked out the window ignoring Deidrick who kept glaring at him. Jinx sighed and looked at Deidrick willing forwards the Master through who formed a confused expression on his face. He then raised a hand towards Deidrick and mentally gave the command for sleep. He watched as Deidrick’s confused eye look changed to horror which drooped blinking before shutting them falling asleep followed by bowing his head.

  He looked out the window for a third time to see the transport was driving lengthy. He willed aside the Master. He glanced at Deidrick who remained sleeping even till the vehicle reached New Jack City. The vehicle appeared to be on the road towards his home building he recognizing it in sight.

  He heard the driver speak “Be prepared to leave the car for I can’t stop and park for that.”

  Jinx kept his mouth shut as the transport reached the building's back entrance on his side to pause. He quickly darted out of the car closing the door behind him and speed walked to go inside.

  He turned around to watch the transport drive away going out of sight. Jinks sighed and walked inside through the back entrance several private small hallways taking private elevators and stairwells till he reached his apartment's door from memory. He found a guard standing in front of the door that led to the stairwell to the apartment that unlocked it with a keypad.

  He walked inside going up the stairs and entered the kitchen finding no one in there but the butler.

  He felt himself confining from the clothes hurriedly walked passed the butler ignoring the machine saying "I'm programmed to do order requests towards you as your butler."

  He went into his bedroom after taking a route to there to change out of his clothes and shoes. He placed the clothes and shoes in the walk in closet putting clothes on hangers then went into the bathroom. He exhaled a breath and went his familiar black clothes hanging on a rod in the wall which he put on.

  He felt himself hungry and sock foot with shoes on walked to the kitchen to peer into the refrigerator.

  He started pulling out food despite talk from the butler "I'm programmed to do cooking and meal preparing for you."

  He ignored the butler still rattling away its familiar talk.

  He prepared some sandwiches and ate them on the sink counter then put the dishes away in the dishwasher he found.

  He finished rubbed a hand on his head and got told by the butler "You have one communication from a Burke Richardson. Do you wish me to tell you the message?"

  He spoke "Tell me it anyway."

  Jinx heard in response Burke's voice speaking with concern in his voice tone “Jinx, this is your Father. I hope you’re alright.”

  He sighed as he figured out that Burke was still taking responsibility for fathering him instead of Lance as his voice paused then continued to say “Give me a call at this number anytime for it’s my cell phone.”

  Jinx heard Burke rattle off a set of numbers then was followed by a beep noise as the message ended. He stretched his arms above him and went to the gym room. Due to wanting to exercise on the padded floor to sit stretching his limber form then with a karate move swung himself up to stand and began doing his martial art exercises.

  Once done he kneeled shutting his eyes mediating as the day’s events flashed in his mind. He breathed deeply through his nose as he mediated and opened his eyes as the lights appeared to be dim.

  He heard a throat clearing noise sounding behind him. He spun around getting up to stand with a start to see Morganna was there appearing to look solid and not ghostly looking.

  Jinx stared at her with a frown as she stared at him back seemingly happy to see him.

  He heard from her “Remember, Lance.”

  He stiffened as memories of himself as Lance flashed in his mind along with remembering what he recently recalled arrived. Jinx gasped bending down putting hands on his forehead while shaking his form from shock running through him.

  He realized that he was assumed to be Lance himself and that Morganna was his Mother wanting acknowledgment from that. He continued to feel the shocking feeling running through him.

  He recalled his life as Lance being raised by a woman named Arianne who brain washed him to get others see him as a deity like. That including along with ordering him to kill a male, a King named George with the excuse of being rebellious against the beliefs of being a deity god. He succeeded in doing during a battle and wound up killed himself from someone else he sensed had seen him doing that and killed him on Arianne’s orders due to recognizing the male as one of her own servants.

  He continued to recall that Morganna wanted him to acknowledge her as his Mother and was willing to pay a price for that to happen.

  Jinx breathed hard through his nose as he straightened up his form to stand and removed his hands. He staring at Morganna who still had that happy look in her eyes and face.

  He didn’t comment a word as Morganna reached out a hand and touched him on the cheek while saying “Oh my son, how long I waited for this moment.”

  He breathed deeply through his nose as he felt Morganna’s hand on his cheek that felt real to him.

  She continued to speak “I never stopped caring about you over the cycles you were raised without me raising me. I would think about you from time to time wondering how you were. I always wondering if you were told about me as you grew up.

  It appears from the looks of what I’ve seen from you in this body form you’re in now that you have inherited my powers and is fully using them now.”

  He sighed as Morganna removed her hand from his cheek to his shoulder while continuing talking “I don’t know how but the Goddess took pity on me wishing to have you in my life. She had some messenger land on my doorstep telling me about you meeting King George in peace.

  I realized from my powers that you were my son went to Camden in hopes of meeting you. It was for the acknowledgement as you calling me Mother and I seeing you as my son.

  It pained me to find you dead during the midst of a battle. I pleaded to the Goddess to restore you back to life. The Goddess’s three servants the three sisters heard my prayer. They came to me telling me I would have what I want but I would have to wait for it to happen.”

  He didn’t say a word as Morganna rubbed his shoulder while continuing talking “I did what I could to wait even using my powers on you to see your body remained intact. I ordered you placed in a cave where I would watch on you from time to time even not letting death stop me from the watching you guarding you from harm.”

  He again kept his mouth shut as Morganna continued talking “Your words talking abou
t women using you for their own gains.

  It was from realizing that Arianne used you for her own gain. Arianne was really after the throne George was currently holding hence she having you kill him using you as some deity god as an excuse to have him dead. She wanted to be Queen.

  Arianne was willing to do what it takes to achieve that goal even raising my son, you to kill George for the crown. She had one of her servants kill you after you killed George just to make sure that you wouldn’t take the crown for that killing.”

  Jinx frowned forming it on his face as Morganna continued talking “It’s a pity that Arianne’s work was for nothing. One of her servants wound up betraying her confidence and talked to others in George’s circle about her goal.

  She wound up imprisoned and her title as Duchess, including lands and home taken away which she later died contained.

  I managed to convince the prison warden to let me have Arianne’s body. So I could properly depose it along with using my powers to see that her spirit was gone for good and not causing any havoc.”

  He continued to stare at Morganna who without another word hugged him abruptly.

  He hugged her back and felt compelled to speak which he blurt “Mother.”

  He felt himself shocked by his admission as Morganna hugged him tighter sensing what he said was what she wanted from him. He hugged her in response feeling himself becoming happy from the hugging.

  He sighed and then groaned as she broke off the
