The Rise Of The Saviour 62 Does It Ring A Bell - 1

His lips curved in a smile and he too unwrapped the chocolate bar and took a bite.

"What?" she asked as if wanting an affirmation from him. Her little black marble eyes focussed on his expressions.

"It's good," replied Morpheous and gave the remaining chocolate bar to Eva as she was already finished with hers.

"Shall we?" asked Atticus and pressed the door-unlock b.u.t.ton in his jeep key. As he walked towards the pa.s.senger side of the jeep to open the door, Morpheous said,

"We can manage," and saying that the brother-sister duo both opened the jeep door and sat inside with ease.

"All right then," exclaimed Atticus as he saw them adapting fast to his world and turned on the ignition. But to his utter dismay, the jeep didn't start. He tried a couple of times more, but it was in vain.

"Oh man!" exclaimed Atticus and thumped his fist on the steering wheel.

"What happened?" asked Morpheous.

"I think my battery is dead again," he replied and started googling for help. He needed a jumper cable immediately to start his car.

"Who is dead?" exclaimed Eva with panic-stricken eyes.

"Oh no. What I mean is my battery is finished. It is a source of energy for my jeep to start. But looks like it is drained out!" muttered Atticus.

"Can you show me where it is?" asked Morpheous and to which Atticus got down from the jeep and opened the hood. Pointing at an encased box which was connected to the engine with cables, he said, "This box you see here, is the source of energy. It's like a gentle push that you need to start something."

And saying that he dialed a number on his phone and called for help. After giving the details of his residence as Atticus turned back, he saw Morpheous looking at the engine very keenly.

"What are you looking at?" he asked curiously but then immediately took a step back as he saw a flash of blue in his eyes for the fraction of a second.

"Your... your eyes!" exclaimed Atticus.

"They change color sometimes. It's normal," he said, and then closing the hood he asked, "Can you try again?"

"Erm... Ok" Atticus hesitated a bit but then he got into the driver seat and turned on the ignition.

"Vroom... Vroom..."

And just like that, the jeep started. Craning his neck out of the jeep Atticus asked,

"What did you do?"

"Just gave your battery what it needed!" and with a smile on his face, Morpheous came and sat inside the jeep. Atticus looked at him for a while and then turned back to look at Eva and asked,

"You guys are humans, right? I mean like us? Just that you have come back from an ancient-ancient era. Please tell me that's the only difference."

Eva looked at her brother and said,

"Yes, we are humans. At least I am. But he seems to be the chosen one!"

"Chosen one? What do you mean by the chosen one?"

"It means that he was born to do great things. He was born to restore the glory of the land of G.o.d - Vanaheimr. He was..."

But interrupting Eva Morpheous said,

"Right now I am born to turn back time again. And trust me, Eva, I will leave no stone unturned this time. We will have a happy family together. I promise!" Then looking at Atticus he asked,

"Let's go. We need to find the man who can help us go back."

Atticus nodded and was about to step on the accelerator when he remembered something. He turned towards them and asked,

"What was the name of your place again?"

"Ambracia!" replied Eva.

His eyes sparkled this time as he heard her reply and he asked, " And is the name of your kingdom Nubia?"

"Yes!" replied Morpheous all astonished. "But how do you know that?" he asked.

Then with a sarcastic look on his face, he looked at both of them and asked,

"Then there must be a prophecy about him as well. Isn't it?"

"Erm... Yes!" replied Eva skeptically.

"Would you care to tell me more about the prophecy my dear?" asked Atticus and typed something on his phone screen.

Eva looked at Morpheous and then narrated what she had heard from Damianos,"

'The bolt of death,

Will perch up in the sky.

Oh, the suitor of death,

The throne you would decry,

The son of G.o.d will Rise,,,

.

But interrupting her in the middle, Atticus asked,

"Cross your heart and hope to die. Is this what your prophecy is?"

Hearing him narrate the last line of the prophecy, both Eva and Morpheous were stunned.

"Who are you?" grunted Morpheous. His brows were pointed and his voice carried an angered mistrust.

"Are you two trying to make a fool out of me? Do I look like a joke to you?" yelled Atticus in response to his question.

"Get out of my jeep. Get out now," yelled the old man and he turned off the ignition. and then holding the collar of Morpheous he yelled, "Will you drop down to such low levels just to make fun of someone? You planned all this, didn't you?"

An angered Morpheous was about to push the old man away but Eva intervened,

"Both of you, just please calm down. I cannot bear to see another fight. Please!" Then looking at Atticus she said,

"I am not sure what makes you think that we are lying but we are not. I swear in the name of heaven."

"Then what is this?" asked Atticus and turned his phone screen towards both of them.

All that they could see was the picture of a warrior on the screen holding a sword. The sword somehow looked familiar to Morpheous because it was the same sword that was possessed by Nubeous. There were a few words written below the picture but he could not read them or understand. So he asked,

"I cannot read your script!"

"Oh really!" snarled Atticus and then yelled, "It is a video game - 'The rise of the saviour' based in the kingdom of Nubia and wait, the saviour was from Ambracia. Does it ring a bell?"
