#four_years_later , Zoe clocks twenty-one 

(Hero’s POV)
I was at the class when I felt a tap on my back, I turned to see Sassy life and healthy, I hugged her so tight as if I’d strangle her.
“how did you make it? ” I asked
“I killed him myself ” she said
“what? You killed your father? ” I asked
“I did the worse, I broke his mirror and he became blind, he thought me how to heal people and evil so I was able to help myself, my mum was happy too ” she said
I let the tears flow down my eyes freely “how about Zoe? ” I asked
“she ran away ” she said
“to where? ” I asked inquisitively
“to the unknown place, she left the day you escaped but I heard she came back yesterday immediately after my father went blind” she said and I drew her, we both ran to the palace.
I met Zoe tall and well built, not as slim as she was. I hugged her passionately “I love you ” I said and she smiled
“I love you too” she said

(Zoe’s POV)
“where have you been ” Hero asked

( flash_back )
I was at the room where I was taken to when Lucio came in, he smiled made advance towards me.
“now everything will be over, you are mine and when I’m done taking your flower I’ll become the most famous ” he said and I began to cry.
He began undressing himself and laughing mysteriously, he kept on making advance towards me with just his pant and I ran around the room until I became weak and fell.
He felt satisfied and tried to touch me but he took his hand off me like someone that was shocked, he jerk up. He tried it several time with the same result, I used the opportunity to run away.
I ran to my mother’s village were I was opportune to school.

( present_day )
“two days ago an old woman asked me to go back home that I am harmless and that’s why I came back ”
“Wow this is great, that is why I can’t love you less” hero said, he told me his on part of story story and ended asking for my hands in marriage.
With the aid of my father’s blessings we were joined together.

(Hero’s POV)
I never knew his weakness is so simple, just to go to his shrine and break his mirror but how can I make it to his shrine? Sassy is now deaf so she won’t be able to speak again.
“how can I get the mirror? ” I asked Albato
“I’ll advice you to forget about that cause Lucio is more cunning than serpent ” he said
“but I need to stop him cause I need to continue schooling ” I answered
“there is an alternative ” he said and I listen with kin interest to know the alternative.
“I’ll mix some herbs for you that will make him not to see you through his mirror, you’ll chew it every morning before going to school cause you need to go back to the old woman who took care of you after the death of your mother ” he said
“you mean my grandma? ” I asked
“she is not your grandma, go ask her who are you and she’ll tell you herself ” he said
“go now ” he commanded after giving me the herbs, I took some and put some inside the bag hen gave me.
I tracked far distance until I got to the village, the journey seems to be more far than it was when I came with Zoe.
I passed the village and headed for the forest, it was dark when I got home but grandma was still awake .
“you’re back son, I boiled hot water for you. How was the journey ” she said and I was surprised
“I know you’re surprised but but don’t be too surprised cause Zoe told me everything ” she said and I realized Zoe’s second was at work. I smiled.
“when did she came and when did she left? ”
I asked
“she came the day you were taken and left not quite long, she took good care of me. ”
She said
“grandma tell me how I end up with you ” I said and she began to cry.

(Hero’s POV)
Sleeping and thinking when I heard a voice like that of Zoe, I ran outside to meet her.
“it’s late, how were you able to come? ” I asked
“I escaped, we need to run away from this place cause Lucio is unconscious for now so we need to go ” she said
I’d have live to go but my grandma, I have to take her along. I don’t want her dead so soon. “let make it tomorrow morning cause grandma need to go with us” I said
“I pray Lucio doesn’t come early ” she said
We got inside “Zoe ” I called and she looked at me with surprise expression, I was wondering why she never spoke to me ever since she helped me.
“you said nothing the day you helped me why? ” I asked
“when did I helped you ?” she asked
“that day Lucio tried to kill me, you wore white from head to toe and woke me up, you left immediately ” I said trying to recall from what happened that day.
“I’m not the one, I was kept indoor cause of you from that day” she said, I find it hard to believe cause I saw her clearly just that she acted like immortal.
“if that’s what happened then you belong to some supernatural powers, you need to go and see an effective priest” grandma said, I thought she was awake.
“wow grandma, how comes you know? ” I asked
“I’ve heard story of some people that have powers but they don’t know how to use it but I’ve never encountered any, she must have power meant good ” she said
“what do we do now? ” I asked
“I’ll send you to a far away a village where you will find good priest very early in the morning. ”
“okay grandma, thank you ” I said
“an old woman once told me about this when I was ten, she told me never to accept Lucio as my husband cause he has bad plans which she never mentioned to me, she asked me to try and help my fathers throne for the good and benefit of the villagers” she said
“oh I knew it, I know that old fool has bad plans, he is evil and it’s written all over him but he doesn’t know it will come to an end. I’ll do my best to help you ” I said
“Lucio use to be a good man until selfishness took over him, people from different villages visit to seek him but he has changed, he is brave and cunning so you must be wise and smart else he will put smart you ” grandma said
“he might be smart but his brain is weak, he is now old with grey hairs, I’m young, strong and a bravo, he can do nothing to me especially now that Zoe’s twin is ready to help me” I said
“go you know I was taken to his house as his wife? Sassy gave me idea on what to do, she made me to get him drunk and now he is there laughing foolishly like someone who wan a wrestling competition at the village square ” she said
“Oh you remind me of Sassy, she is good and strong. I never knew she will go against her father’s evil plan just for the sake of our friendship, I see the day I met her as a blessing “

(Lucio’s POV)
I woke up to see myself sleeping on the floor alone, I remember Zoe was with me lately but I wonder why she was nowhere to be found.
I ran to my room where my mirror is and previewed what happened, I couldn’t believe Sassy is the only rat in my house, I don’t know what to do to her, I can’t kill her cause she is my successor. I must cast a spell on her, I’ll cure it when I’m through with my works.
Zoe and Hero must not go, I need to get the two as fast as I can cause I might never set my eyes on them again and that is the end of my fame.
I took my guards as we matched to the forest where Hero and the old woman he called grandma lives, my mirror was with me.
We got there and I made my guards to surround the house so that nobody would run away, I sent someone to fetch the two and leave the shameless old fool to die alone.
Hero’s hands were tied while Zoe was dragged home, she is my wife and nobody can take her away from me, not even her father talk more of the poor brat.
“you guys think I’m joking right? I want to show you how serious I am. Get me Sassy my first fruit let me show them I can do worse ” I commanded and one of my guards brought Sassy.
I took cutlass and starb one of her legs, she let out a loud wail and I laughed “feel the pains you’ve been causing me, you shall not be able to speak until I’m through with what in doing ” I coursed and she couldn’t cry again.
My two wives ran outside to cry but I stopped them “whoever cry will join her” I said, I ordered my guards to imprisoned Hero and take Zoe to my room. I silent everywhere cause my heart was boiling, Sassy’s case is temporary so I didn’t say much, she brought it upon herself.
She must bare the cross alone .
