Zariaha managed a weak smile as a tear streamed down her cheek.
I looked away myself trying to keep from crying.
“I must go to the vast beyond now.” he faced the rest of us. “You will make an excellent leader, Jasylin. Mesiaha, with the countries you rule, you will see much success and wealth. Jamie, you must make the choices, the right choices when the time comes. You are no longer a boy, remember this when comes the time.” he took a breath, and faced the window again. “Sertoff…”
“What about Sertoff?” I moved forward. Was he going to die? Was he going to leave me alone, no wait then why would I make a good ruler.
“You will know when the times comes.” he settled back in his chair. “I love you Zariaha, as my own daughter. All I possess you now own. Take care of Mesiaha and the others, there will come a time when you are the only hope. I shall miss you greatly. All of you.” he took in a deep breath. “I knew my trust was not misguided.”, the breath left his body and he was gone.
I cried a few tears.
Jamie hung his head.
Mesiaha walked to Zariaha and held her close. Zariaha through her tears muttered a few words, we stood in front Kilji’s castle.
“I’m sorry Zariaha.” I set my hand on her free shoulder.
“Me too.” Jamie added on.
