Naagin (rise of the serpent)

Then I think it's time you know the final truth".

I sighed at Hijirar's words. Sometimes, he's words are really not the kind of words I would wish to listen to.

"What exactly is this final truth you wanna tell me?" I asked, looking him in the eye.

"This final truth I'm about to tell you is actually the answer to the questions I've been asking you".

"So how do I know the answer to those horrible questions you've been asking me?" I asked with a scoff.

"What do you think is the cause of everything that has happened over the years?" Hijirar asked not actually answering my question.

"I don't know, besides it's Huck that started the mess" I said while shrugging my shoulders.

"That's why I said, you have no idea of the final truth" Hijirar stated with a weird smile. "But anyways, time is far spent. You have to go back to the human world".

I shot him a glare and I folded my arms. My action actually made me look like a stubborn naughty girl.

"But you still haven't told me the fucking final truth" I demanded stubbornly.

Hijirar squinted his eyes with his weird smile plastered on his face.

"Aren't you supposed to figure that out on your own?" Hijirar asked while smirking at me.

"That's not fair".

"Maybe, it is fair and I need you to do it on your own. There are a lot of things you need to achieve on your own might".

I sighed hearing his words. His words were a lot boring and also irritating.

I stood up from the seat while still folding my arms. I looked at Hijirar and frowned at his weird smile.

"What?" Hijirar asked, chuckling childishly.

"How the hell will I be able to figure out the final truth? You better tell me or I'll be angry" I spoke,kinda pretending to be annoyed.

Hijirar sighed.

He balanced himself on the seat while putting his legs on the other chair were I was sitting a while ago. He somehow looked like a naughty teenager but I still kept on an annoyed look on my face.

"That isn't my problem. Like I said,the final truth is the answer to the questions I was asking you before. If you can figure out the answer,then you know the final truth" Hijirar,once again explained.

I hissed angrily.

Hijirar is really getting on my nerves. He better tell me the final truth especially since I need to know the whole truth. I may know a lot but there is something about that final truth that I need to know.

I have a feeling that it will or may aid me in defeating Huck.

Once again, I was lost in my fantasy of thoughts. Hijirar stared at me, quite intensively but he grinned silently.

"But on second thought" Hijirar spoke, jolting me out of my thoughts. "I may tell you the final truth but once done, I will send you back to the human world".

"There you go" I said while grinning.

"Have a sit then,it may be a long story" Hijirar chuckled at his words.

I sat down again and made sure I was well balanced on the chair. Once done, I looked him in the eye and he smiled.

He told me the truth. He told me everything, the reason everything that has happened, actually seemed to happen.

He told me the reason why Huck went crazy for the Jewel. The reason why the old lady lost her whole family to the war. The reason why the war actually happened, Why the people of Umuguor community were forced into slavery. He told me everything, without missing a bit.

Actually,he had sent me down to the human world. For me to grow and become strong, because I was weak. For me to know my mission, the power that I had and the truth I was supposed to know. For me to know who I truly was.

"When I was born, Hijirar had frowned upon setting his eyes on me. That was because I was born a human. Actually funny that a great snake god has a human as an offspring. ".

"My father was disappointed and saddened that I was a human. But it was not my fault that I was born a human. It was no one's fault. Even my sister was born a snake,so why was I born a human".

"Thankfully, Hijirar my father, searched for the reason why I was born a human and he found it. It was because my mother, Arizona,was once a human. Though, Hijirar had turned her into a snake, there were still some traces of humanity left in her and that's the reason why I was born a human".

"My father, Hijirar, wanted to make me powerful. Despite the fact that I was a human, he wanted to turn me into a snake just like my mother. So in order to do so, he gifted his precious Jewel laced with immense power to the people of Umuguor community. He had his reason why he had gifted his Jewel to the people of Umuguor community and that reason was that, when I had come of age, I would activate the powers of the Jewel".

"But Huck, seeing that Hijirar had gifted his Jewel to the people of Umuguor community,was overwhelmed by greed. He ceased the opportunity of me being born a human as a way to get back at Hijirar".

"That only means that, Huck had a grudge against Hijirar. But seeing that Hijirar had gifted his Jewel to Umuguor community, he ceased that opportunity to wage war with them, just to get his hands on the Jewel. His main objective was to get the powers of the Jewel and use it to gain control over the country of Casablanca".

"Hijirar decided to play tricks on Huck. First of all, he made old lady Papirus prophecy about the chosen one who could activate the powers of the Jewel. That gave Huck two objectives, to get the chosen one and Hijirar's Jewel. And so my father used me as a way to punish Huck,by being the chosen one".

"Huck, using the Agbejor community army waged war with Umuguor so he could lay his hands on the Jewel and peradventure,get the chosen one. Hijirar sent me down to the human world, during the war(at that time I was still a little baby). But instead, Huck wasn't able to lay his hands on the Jewel nor the chosen (which is actually me)".

"My journey as the chosen one started when old lady Papirus picked me up during the war and handed me over to the woman I now know as my grandmother".

So in all, I am the real reason why the whole war started. It was because of my birth as a human that Huck went crazy for the Jewel. Though, Huck is still committing evil deeds and must be stopped, Hijirar plans for me to be the one to stop him. According to him, it's a way of me getting stronger.

###

In no time, Hijirar was done with the final truth saying. He chuckled unnecessarily when he was done and as for me, I was lost in thought.

Somehow, I felt it makes sense. I was the real reason why everything that has happened, seemed to happen. It was because of my birth as a human that Hijirar had to gift his Jewel to Umuguor community. And that made Huck go crazy for the Jewel.

Huck had started a game and Hijirar decided to play.

Hijirar decided to make old lady Papirus prophesy about the chosen one. It therefore makes sense that Hijirar was actually sending me on a mission. And that mission is to eliminate Huck.

But not to lie, Huck has committed a lot of atrocities and he must be stopped. And the person to stop him is the chosen one (which is actually me).

"Lost in thoughts again?" Hijirar teased.

I frowned. He was interrupting my thinking.

"Maybe, someone should learn to interrupt someone when she is thinking" I said.

Hijirar chuckled again.

"Okay,if you say so".

I breathed in and out for a while.

"Now that I know the truth, I think my next line of action is to fulfill my destiny as the chosen and also free the people of Umuguor community from slavery" I spoke with a more serious tone.

Hijirar smirked and immediately stopped chuckling childishly.

"Exactly" Hijirar said, making it look like some sort of encouragement.

"But first of all I must get stronger" .

"That's the spirit. But I will have that taken care of" Hijirar said with a grin.

I shot him a confused glare.

"I don't understand" I demanded.

"I will talk to both your mother and sister to stay with you in the human world. They will both train you to be stronger, besides, you can't only rely on the powers of my Jewel" Hijirar explained.

"Wait, what!!!!!"

I screamed loudly, which eventually took Hijirar by surprise.

To tell the truth, both me and that sister of mine don't really see eye to eye. Infact, I don't like her in any way. Arizona is manageable, but as for Melissa, I wouldn't want her to train me.

"Is there something wrong?" Hijirar asked.

"Not really. It's just that I don't see eye to eye with that sister of mine" i I confessed truthfully.

Hijirar laughed hysterically.

'did I say something funny?'

Once Hijirar was done laughing,his face immediately turned serious and he looked me in the eye.

"Don't worry, Naagin. Both you and Melissa will get along quite well. I'm sure of that".

"I hope so" I said with a sigh.

Hijirar only shook his head at my action.

He got up on his feet and motioned for me to also stand up. I did as I was told quite wondering what he wants to do.

"Well, it's time to send you back to the human world. I have answered all of your questions and I've told you the truth. It's just for you to complete your mission" Hijirar spoke with a air of authority.

I nodded simultaneously.

"Nice meeting you father" I said with a childish smile.

Hijirar smiled. His smile was so cute that I swear, I could have melted from the inside.

"Give me a hug, Naagin" he said as he pulled me into a breaking but warm hug. "Nice meeting you, my daughter".

After some emotional scenes between father and daughter, Hijirar made the chairs disappear.

He easily created a portal with the snap of his finger. I gave him one last fatherly hug before I entered the portal.

Not to lie readers, I had a weird feeling knowing that I have a father and a mother. Finally, I felt what it was to have a father and mother.

But on second thought, I must get stronger. My mission is to make Huck die.

Huck must die.
