Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Nayars
"That's what happened." Grandpa Hong said.
"Ah!" Arya nods.
"So one of us is Kayar or Nayari?" Rhema asked.
"Give me your hand." Grandpa Hong placed Rhema's palm on his and had a vision. "Nayari? But..."
"Grandpa Hong what's wrong?"
"You are Nayari but why does it feel so different?"
"Mmm...what?" Rhema chuckles. "Excuse me Sir! I am human, although I am adopted buy I am still human."
"How many percent?"
"100% sure. If I am like you two or Nayari like you said, why don't I have power? And also Kayar? Arya is Kayar? Do you have power?" She asked Arya. Arya shook her head. "Do you see that? We're human. So forget an Kayar and Nayari and tell us how many get back to our world."
"Not until Nakiyar festival is over. Nakiyar festival is a feature performed every 50 years, a new Nayari is chosen on that day. But since we lost the artifact and Nayari, we stopped celebrating it. But after the prophecy twenty years ago, everyone looked forward to celebrate it."
"Lord James sent his son and Navi to Ruma, to get the book and Nayari." Rivka said.
"When?"
"Two days ago. Could it be the same day?"
"What book?" Rhema asked.
"The book contains all the powers of the land."
"Book?" Rhema raised an eyebrow. "Ah!" She clapped her hands as she seems to remember. "Book!! The book!" She said excitedly.
"What book?" Arya asked.
"The book you touched before the door appeared."
"Book? I didn't touch any book."
"Huh?" Rhema had a confused look. "But I saw you touched a book. It has a black cover."
"I didn't touch a book. The door just appeared."
"What was written on it?" Grandpa Hong asked.
"Na... Nayars. Yes Nayars."
"That's it! That's the book." Grandpa Hong said.
"We need to go back and get it. But how?" Rivka asked.
"I can by creating a potion. But it takes days or maybe months to make. At least it's better than waiting until Nakiyar festival is over. Oh! And when you do get back! Be careful of his sons."
"Sons?" Rhema asked.
"Yes. He has two sons whom are twins. If it is the youngest, then we're safe but if it's the eldest, then we've got to be careful."

RUMA
LIPGLOSS P
Mr. Kumi opened the door and strode in. Mrs. Lim raised her head and was surprised to see Mr. Kumi. She checked the time to be sure.
"This is 9:32am."
"I know."
She picked the telephone and makes a call. "No one is allowed in my office." She hang up.
"Where is she?" He coldly asked.
"Sh has a name and that's Kayar, our daughter. How many times do I need to say it? Arya and Kaya are our children."
"I'm not her for that."
"Then why are you here for? You know I never cheated right?"
"I'm here to help find her, since I am the reason you lost her."
"Me?" Mrs. Lim scoffs.
"Where is your husband?"
"We're here for our daughter my husband."
"When was the last time you felt her presence?"
"Yesterday."
"We lost her in Yarnit Forest during the fight. So we have to start from there with the help of a Yaniri."
"Ray is one. How about we take him with us?"
"He wasn't there with us when it happened."
"Lena. Lena is a Yaniri but she is also missing.". Mrs. Lim's eyes widened. "C..co
.. could it be...she took my child?"
"We need to find her first."
"Where did you say your husband was again?"
"Why do you wanna know? Don't tell me you suspect him?" Mrs. Lim was speechless. "Michael is human not like us. He's been my friend even before we got married and you know that. Besides, I erased his memory after the incident twenty years ago."
"Are you sure?"
Mrs. Lim had a confused look. "What do you mean?"
"What if his memories wasn't erased?"
"Huh? That's impossible. I..."
"Our priority is Kaya, after that we talk about your husband and if he is really on a business trip. We need to find Lena. Maybe she's in Luma."
"No she isn't. She also left Luma twenty years ago."
"What about her daughter?"
"Yuka? She left Luma a month before Nakiyar festival. And we can't go back to Luma. Wait! Yuka? I... think I saw her last night. She's a friend of Allegra."
"Allegra?" Mr. Kumi raised an eyebrow.
