Chapter 10: A new pair of leaders
Lara walked in Kiera's room, happily to see if her girl is all right after all of that crazy day.
Lara: Morning sweetie! I hope you slept well, because I sleep like never before.
She said gently as she picked Kiera up and cradled the baby in her arms. Kiera let out a moan and opened her eyes unwillingly. Lara stroked baby's girl's delicate face.
Ever since Lara felt the girl's kick her stomach, something inside clicked. Her rough and aggressive touch became gentle and, well, motherly. She had anger still inside her, no doubt, but she often automatically replaced it with peace and hints of serenity. It wasn't good for when she would go back to her old habits and uncover myths that turned out to be real, though highly stretched out with fantasy and tomb raiding.
She closed her eyes trying to think at something else and she holds Kiera tightly to her body.
Kurtis: Lara, Solara is dead!
Lara: What?! How?
Kurtis: An assassin.
Lara put Kiera back in the crib.
Lara: And what do you want? To go there!?
Kurtis: It's the only option, Lara.
Lara: That's it what I matter the most, what about Kiera?
Kurtis: She will be all right.
Lara: No!
Kurtis: You with your mouth said that you will do everything to save those people.
Lara: I've changed my mind! Okay?!
Kurtis looked at her he was nervous, nobody, really nobody told to him what to do, never this thing happened.
Kurtis: Pack your things and Kiera's, we are leaving.
Lara: Remember how I'm Kurtis, I'm Kiera's mother and I say if she's coming or not.
Kurtis: Yes, but I'm more dangerous than you have expected Lara, I can be bad too.
He left letting Lara and Kiera alone. What really Lara didn't want now, was a more aristocratic life, beginning the queen of Atlantis, didn't sound bad but boring, beginning rich was boring. 'If Kurtis had more siblings', she tough.

Karel: Finally, I escaped from my moments; I got Solara's blood that means dear st. Candace I can make Decorah revive.
Said Karel to a female statue with snakes on her head and wings on her hands, it was taller than Karel.
Karel walked to a little fountain, he sneaks the blood in it. The blood oozed and the Decorah which was a dessert became an exotic place like before with tall arbores and huge rattan plants.

Kiera started to scream for hours, for no reason. Nothing stopped her loudly crying, every medic in Atlantis checked her, but she was all right, she didn't have anything.
The true thing was that her powers started to work, she just wanted to say that the bad were more dangerous than before.
It was amazing how such a little soul, could do so much pain and disaster for so many people. At least they found the cure, Pegasus blood [why is so much blood in this story]. Probably will not close Kiera's mouth, but at least she will shut up for some hours.
Kurtis came at his daughter.
Kurtis: What are doing beauty?
He whispered to her, he didn't want her awake. But the silent was broken by Zip.
Kiera started to cry.
Zip: Hey, Kurt' wanna' go to a part'?
Kurtis: You, son of a bitch!
He shouted, Zip looked at him then he run like hell, he was scared by Kurtis [you'll understand someday]. Kiera started to laugh, probably she thinks it was funny, Kurtis stroked Kiera's delicate face.
A woman with wings came in the room [don't think she's an archangel or something like this]. Her walk was soft, her light green eyes were shining and she had a hair that had the exact color of the fire. Kurtis remembered her; it was Lara's best friend, Anastasia.
Any: Hi, Kurtis!
Kurtis: Hi, Anastasia!
Any: What'cha doing?
Kurtis: Fine, you?
Any: Like never.
The woman retracted her wings.

The statue woman was now alive and she was wondering at Decorah that changed very much from her last visit.
The female had a Greek look; even she was looking like a demon from the nephilims perspective, in real she was an angel, a fallen one. Now she was waiting to see her daughter, but she won't make the mistake to say she's her mother.
Anhareta fall on the metallic floor, from nowhere, at the feet of the god. The girl was naked; she covered her thin body with her hands, hiding her beautiful silhouette. The tall woman kneeled in front of Anhareta.
Candace: An angel? Ehh… Who cares? I won't take you with me, stay here; I really don't want someone as a new god.
Anhareta: Yes, miss.
Anhareta's soft voice echo in the ears of Candace.
Candace: Run, beauty, run.
Anhareta: I can't, my father will blame me if I do this…
Candace: Take care then, nobody deserves what is happening to you.
The women stepped on the pedestal and transformed in stone, she look just one more time at her.
For Anhareta this women looked familiar.
