Ertifferrah slowly rose from her slumber feeling rested and relieved in knowing that she was home and that she still had the capability to return.  Mind on Octavious, she giggled to herself wondering which page he was on now. 


Her appetite was quite strong this morning even though she had eaten a hearty dinner on Earth.  It was just a little experiment she had tried to see if, in fact, the food from that world would hold up in the next. Obviously not. 

 

Either it was an eclipse right now or the sun was already setting because, if it was morning, it sure was dark.  It was rare for the skies of Akasha to darken, even when it rained.


Longing for a platter of fresh fruits and home-style flat cakes drenched in heavy honey syrup, she headed for the kitchen, stomach growling.


A lot of time had seemed to pass since she’d been back.  Upon realizing that, she made a quick detour in search of her mother and father.


In a guestroom that was off on its own, in a corner of the large house, she found her mother and grandfather.  He stayed with them on occasion as if using their house for a winter retreat.  Ertifferrah was glad to see him again because that meant Grandmother was there too.  She could really use some advice.


She didn’t want to make her presence known yet, so she chose to only poke her head in the door for a minute or two. Upon doing so, she saw her mom quickly and carefully remove a necklace from around her grandfather’s neck.  The shimmering chain had a diamond-shaped emerald attached to the end with a large key.  Ertifferrah could tell the pendant had some weight to it, that was for sure. 

 


In disbelief over what she had seen her mother doing, Ertifferrah thought to herself and tried to grasp a logical answer for what she was seeing.

 I thought Grandpa said his necklace was never to be removed unless he himself did it or, his wife, Grandma took it off.   


She hadn’t the slightest clue as to why it couldn’t be removed, but out of sheer love and respect for her grandparents, she had always honored their request—no questions asked.



Not wanting to see more, Ertifferrah rushed off to her room, quickly closing the door behind her. Exhaling deeply, she slowly slid down the back of the door until her butt met the plush carpet.  Head in her hands, thinking over the scene of her what she had just seen her mother doing, she could find no explanation for her actions. The deceiving look of malicious victory on mother’s face made her guilty; making what she saw…the truth…



Never taking mother as a dishonest person, she couldn’t face the truth.  She’s so honest that she even told the guys who landscaped their yard that she couldn’t pay them that month simply because she had spent their money buying a golden gown for the rapidly approaching gala. Touched by her honesty, they had been understanding and thought nothing of it because mother is known to be a woman of her word.  Being that the banks were closed for the evening, she promised them first thing in the morning to withdraw the money and give them a little extra for their trouble.


 We aren’t extremely rich, but we’re well-off enough to not really want for too much of anything.  So what would mother need with grandfathers’ old pendant, Ertifferrah thought.


Deciding to ignore the situation, she went back towards the kitchen to fix breakfast.


Hours passed and Ertifferrah became anxious to see Octavious.  Hardly knowing whether she was in Akasha or back on Earth, she drank the potion Lady Governess had given her and soon after, Ertifferrah drifted to sleep.

  The final arrangements are being made by Lady Governesses to obtain supreme power over both worlds. “Here lies the dawn of a new day!”  She wailed before her followers in a wooded location, far from the center of attention.  “Tonight, we get one more shot, at reconnecting with The Old Kingdom! “My dear sweet Deities, my friends, we need this moment like a child needs its mother's love. As you all know, once we proceed with the séance, there is absolutely no turning back.” Taking a look around at each person individually, Lady Governess proceeded with the rules and regulations of the night’s proceedings.  “There is no point in backing out now because whoever does will meet a grim death just beyond the firelight of this circle. My guards readily await anyone bold enough to impede our act.” In the shrubs, Nyah and her followers hid, waiting. “So, that’s your mother, huh? She’s very pretty but quite cruel.” Nyah’s closest friend answered. “Yeah, I know, and I’d hate t...

  Several days have gone by. Nyah and her devout followers prepare for the day when both formal engagements commence on the same night: in the land of Akasha, the Annual Gala, celebrating the birth of their nation and on Earth, where the Annual Seniors Choice Ball will commence. * It’s the night before the parties. The moment of pure peace, pure bliss, and equality. As the sun sets, the plots thicken. For the battle of the throne, the fight between right and wrong goes down tonight. * Nyah and her followers are at the Tarsus High Seniors’ Choice Ball, preparing for battle. “Okay, here’s the plan,” Nyah said, getting Erica’s attention before she headed on stage with the rest of Nyah’s friends, the ones that Octavious had described to her the day before. “Before the lights go out, I need you to be on that stage and ready to take the lead.  Now, do you remember the words?” she asked seriously. “Uh, yes, I do.” “Good, because they have to be sung verbatim.  No screw-ups or it...

  It was now the morning after, and all was well between Octavious and Erica as they held each other closely, enjoying the breeze as it blew the drapes gently above their heads. “I’m glad you said yes,” the soothing voice of Octavious said as he stroked her face, pulling her hair from around her eyes. “I wouldn’t have settled for anything less…” Amazed at how gentle he was with her last night brought her to tears as she thought about the moment again, wishing she could relive it. “See, there you go,” he cooed.  “That’s what I like to see from you—that smile, the look of satisfaction.”  Poking around at her face and then rubbing his nose on hers, he reached behind her pillow and pulled out a remote control. “Watch this!  I got the whole play-by-play of what we did last night recorded on TV!  Wonder how much money I’d make off this tape if I sold it…?  Betcha didn’t know I had a camera in here did you ?!”  He teasingly waved the remote in her face as a l...

  Assuming that nothing else could go wrong, Octavious headed to his bedroom chambers, ran water for a long, hot, shower, and prepared himself as best as he could for what was to come in Erica’s book. Thinking that if anything else went wrong, at least he would be ready for it.  On the dark chestnut brown couch, the cool feel of the leather gave him comfort as it soothed his skin.  In only boxer shorts, he finally opened the book, first studying the front page, which had a photo of Erica, and underneath, the name ‘Ertifferrah’.  Instantly knowing that this was her true name, he smiled and turned the page.  Each page had his undivided attention and, in a way calmed him.  It felt as if she was in the room with him.  Several pages in, something really caught his attention: Sometimes, I wish I had someone to talk to… Here I am, seventeen years old and still writing in a stupid journal! No offense to you, okay. But then again that couldn’t be so bad because...
