THE MYSTERIOUS (MYSTICAL) RING
Book 1
Chapter 5

The next morning,the day was bright and lovely
as Grandpa woke up so early and prepared tea
just as usual..He looked at the time and saw it
was past eight O'clock..He wondered why his
grandson was not awake yet..Never mind"..He
said in his mind and went to wash his mouth..
After washing his mouth,he came and saw the
dinning table still looking as he left it..He then
decided to go and wake him up..He might
rather overslept due to his stress
yesterday"..He concluded as he walked to
Gian's room.He knocked severally on the door
but no response so he plaxed his ears on the
door and listened but he heard only the laugh
of the little baby echoing in the room...He
knocked more then opened the door since no
one responded...
Immediately he opened the door,he could not
believe his eyes...He saw his grandson laying
dead on the floor with a knofe in his hand just
besides the baby's cot...
He ran back to the bathroom to wash his face
well.."I might be dreaming.."So he said...
He washed his face and cleaned his glasses very
well and went back to the room to see what he
saw before..Tears rolled down his eyes as he
thought what he could be doing with a knife..He
looked all over his body but could not see a
sign of blood or anything caused by a knife so
he wondered the more.....

THE LAND OF THE DEAD...

I pleaded with you to take care of her and you
promised me so...Then why did you wanted to
kill her..Now see what you have done..You have
left her all alone in that awful world at this
young age in the arms of an old man that can
not even see clearly"...Lucy wailed looking
furious...
Am sorry,but I thought she could bring
mockery to the family...Gian said...But before
Lucy could say anything,an old man on all
shinning white robe with white beards and
white staff interrupted...
"You were warned,but you did not listen...."The
man said...
What???"Exclaimed Lucy..And who are you and
what do yo know about this"..Lucy
interruptively asked....
"Well,let me introduce myself...I am Lord Zeus
and also the voice that warned your husband
not to kill the baby but he did not listen..I had
no choice than to kill him instead..."..Lord Zeus
said..
What??..You mean You killed me...Gian asked..
No,My Son,I did not kill you,I only protected
the Chosen one"Zeus said touching his beard..
"Chosen One??..What do you mean??"...Lucy
asked..
"If you wish to know that child is chosen by the
ancient Lord to defeat the evil witch and that is
why she has the ring..Only her can remove that
ring from her hand..With the ring,the City of
Zeutch will be saved...."Lord Zeus said..
You mean my daughter is going to be a super
hero??"Lucy and Gian asked together...
But Zeus disappeared before they could finish
the question...
Gian and Lucy looked at each other confused.....

BACK TO GIAN'S HOUSE...

Grandpa Zaius carried the baby as he later
found out that Gian died in the process of
wanting to kill the baby...He remembered how
he felt about ring when he came home....
"I should have known.."He said in his mind...
He took the child out and started taking care of
her as he could in his best way...
Ruth grew up to be a beautiful Lady,full of
knowledge,talent and everything that man
could think of...Grandpa Zaius never told her
what killed her parents..If she asks him,he will
only say "They died after your birth.."...Gran
dpa Zaius loved her so much that he never let
her lack anything...
His age became older but his strenght was still
a little strong...
Ruth loved him for his care....
