❤️❤️ Separate Ways (Part 15) ❤️❤️
Rumi laughed softly. Her plan is succeeding. She promises to give Juno such an easy death tomorrow. She made sure her room door was locked before she slept off.
***************
Juno couldn't contain her happiness when she went back to her room. She started humming a song her mother once taught her.
Storm has forgiven her even though she wasn't the one who had injured him. Whoever that was impersonating her should wait until she gets her hands on them. But for now, she will have to take the blame for what she did not do.
She couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, in fact if she wished for time to run fast. How did Rumi do it? How was she able to convince Storm to forgive her? When Storm saw her earlier today why did he look away and now that Rumi came to meet him tonight and talked to him. He has forgiven her. Whatever and however Rumi has done it shouldn't be her concerns.
'Well Tomorrow I will know if you have truly forgiven me or not when we meet.' Juno thought and slept off dreaming of Storm's face.

Emperor Ariadne Palace:
"Mother, who is he?" Fred, the youngest son of Empress Rose child, asked as she tucks him in his bed.
Ignoring his question, she went and lit up the candles in the room, checking the windows and making sure that everything was secured.
"Don't ask questions Fred. He is here on a short visit and now he is leaving us," Empress Rose said and whispered only to herself. "For good."
"But why is he calling my father his father?" He asked again.
"There are things that shouldn't be discussed at your age my son. Don't worry he won't trouble us in the future anymore." Empress Rose told him and kissed his forehead tenderly. "Now sleep," she added and turned to leave when he ask again prompting her to stop.
"But what if he comes back?" Fred's quiet voice asked again.
"He won't, now sleep and when you wake up you won't see him again," Empress Rose said and left the room. "Be at alert guard. If harm comes to my son, oh you will be sorry for knowing me." she threatened the four guards outside Fred's room and proceeded to threaten the other guards guiding Reca and Morgan room. She does this every night so it wasn't new to the guards.

It wasn't long when the sun began to rise and Emperor Ariadne went to wake up Storm.
In an hour's time, Storm was ready and was inside the carriage that will take him away. He was staring at his father who was discussing with five men who were wearing black. He could only make out their eyes, no single skin was showing.
He turned his gaze to Juno's father as he was also discussing with his warriors.
Touching the pendant he was wearing, he promised to keep it and return it to Rumi himself whenever he returned.
"Son, you are set to go. Remember to always listen to your master," Emperor Ariadne said to him as he walk up to meet him. "Take care of yourself. I shall be coming once in a while to check on you and your progress. Don't worry, I have already informed him of your coming." he added. "He will make you a strong man."
Storm nodded his head slightly and surprisingly hugged his father. "Thank you for everything Papa."
Hugging his son back. "I love you son." He kissed his head.
Soon Storm was leaving Ashland with his crew. The five Ninja's assassin's and the ten warriors.
Together, they head for the Garden of Edenis.

Warlord Emera House:
Juno was woken up by Rumi reminding her that they were going to see Storm before he leaves. With sleeping eyes, Juno wore her boots and followed Rumi out of her room. Juno was supporting Rumi by putting her left hand around Rumi's waist to help her walk.
"W-e a-re co-ming b-ack," Rumi said to the guards who were staring at them. "Ju-no h-as so-met-hing im-por-tant to do, rig-ht?"
"Yes, I am going to meet someone important and Rumi is coming with me. We will be back soon," Juno agreed with Rumi and they left.
"We should take some guards with us," Juno suggested once they were outside, walking towards their destination.
"No, they will delay us. Let's hurry up before Storm leaves. I know a shortcut that will take us to where Storm is."
"Then let's take it."
