Prologue and Chapter 1
PHILLY MANSION:
It was midnight.
Daisy was seen seated on the floor and performing incantations in the room she and Philly now shared.
She told Philly that performing the spell will warrant her being alone. So he left the room.
She remembered the conversation she and Philly had some few days ago.
“How do you intend to make yourself grow in size?”
“I once read a portion in the Ancient Book of Requiem that makes a fairy grow in size and be like a human. I would have used all my powers to be fully human, but as you said, if trouble comes. How will I save the people I now take as my own family? So I will give half of my powers to make myself grow in size by night and back to my fairy size by morning.” Daisy said in a huge smile. “In that way, you can be able to cuddle me as you want.”
“You know I am not the romantic type. I am a killer who kills for a living and for years, I have shut my heart from any feelings. I’m a cold-hearted killer, and you know it. I can’t promise you Daisy, but I will try to be romantic. However, one thing for sure, is that I love you, you are making my cold heart beat again.”
“Philly, I understand you, and I won’t push you into doing what you are not supposed to do. You haven’t killed for days now, and I am so proud of you. You are slowly changing to a better you; that is why I am doing this. I want to be with you, and to have your kids. I see that.” Daisy said. “Oh and don’t worry about not being the romantic type, we still have a lot of years for you to learn that from your brother and I.” She added.
Philly accepted reluctantly when he saw how Daisy looked forward to their future together.
After several hours of incantations, she saw herself expanding in height, and soon, she stopped growing in size.
“It worked!!!” She exclaimed in happiness and stood up from the floor jumping up and down like a little girl. She noticed she was almost the same height as Nora.
Daisy quickly left the room; she couldn’t wait to show Philly her new self.

SOMEWHERE IN AN UNKNOWN PLACE:
An evil smirk appeared on her face as she watched the fairy grow in size. The smile the fairy had in her face angered the unknown lady watching everything through her palm.
Her late mother was right, her aunty possessed a lot of powers, and she has given up half of it to grow in human size, how pathetic.
Her late mother had told her about the lady who had controlled her before she was released from the magic by Daisy. Lora is the lady’s name, she will use Lora to strike her aim.
Daisy is still powerful even with her half powers, no doubt, but the fairy is no match for her.
“That is why I will use one of the twins to be in their midst and kill her when she least expects it.”
The lady said with an evil glint in her dark-red eyeballs, touching the image of the girl in her palm and watching as she ran out of the room.
Closing her palm.
“My destiny soon shall seal your fate Daisy.”

Nora who just woke up early the next morning went wide with joy when Daisy told her the spell had worked on her the previous night. She was in her room getting ready to toss her nighty clothes off to one side of the bed when Daisy appeared.
“Don’t you know how to knock before you come in?” Nora asked her fairy playfully.
“Nope, where I come from we don’t have doors or have the time to knock, we just come and tell you what brought us to your home and then disappeared. You’ve forgotten that I am the Queen.” Daisy answered by flipping her hair backwards in a dramatic way.
“Whatever, so you really perform the magic that makes you grow taller by night?”
“Yes, you need to see Philly’s face when he sees me. He told me I am beautiful, can you believe that.” Daisy said, blushing a little bit. Philly has been shocked at the sight of her when she added some height. He couldn’t take his eyes off her all through the night until she returned to her tiny size.
“I am so happy for you Daisy.” Nora said sincerely to the fairy sitting on her left shoulder. “So you get to be like my height by midnight and transform back into your tiny teeny size by morning?” She added in amusement.
“Yup, and who told you I am tiny, in case you don’t know.” Standing up to her feet on Nora’s shoulder and putting her hands on her tiny waist. “I am the tallest fairy in my fairy world.” She huffed out the words. “And remember I was the taller one when I changed you into a fairy to teach you how to dance.”
“That was then not now, I am taller than you Daisy, but jokes apart, I am glad you both are working things out.” Nora said with a real smile.
“So how was your trip to Casala, did you later forgive your twin sister?” Daisy asked, removing dirt from her fingernails.
“Yup, and she can see. I know it was you who made her see after I had forgiven her.”
“Not me, but the repentance in her heart did so.” Daisy said.
“Anyways since we are now together, I and Lora plan to do a show together. She sings and I dance my ballet, It will be fun and will be a big show.” Nora said, lifting up one of her legs and started dancing around her room. Daisy flew away from her shoulder and started dancing ballet in the mid-air together with Nora.
Nora stopped dancing after a while and smiled at her little fairy who was still dancing nonstop.
She took that opportunity to excuse herself and went straight to her bathroom and took her bath.
Once she was done, she came out of the bathroom with a white towel tied around in her chest. She didn’t see Daisy.
Probably the fairy had seen she was the only dancing and she left.
Nora thought about wearing her bra and went through her wardrobe to pick a black jeans and white tank top which she was wearing and left her room.
She met Kate in the sitting room telling her two servants what to prepare for breakfast.
Kate smiled when she saw Nora coming down from the stairs and dismissed the servants quickly.
“Good morning grandmother.” Nora greeted, kissing Kate’s cheeks.
“Morning my child.” Kate said, kissing Nora’s forehead tenderly. “By the way Lora called asking of you. When did you and her start talking?” Kate asked, showing a little bit of surprise on her face.
“Few days ago when Philip and I went to Casala to pay my parents a surprise visit, sorry I didn’t tell you soon. My mom, dad and Lora asked me to forgive their wrongs and I did, it is not good to carry hatred towards a person in your heart for a long time, so I had to forgive them, after all we are family and having your family around is very important. I just hope they won’t repeat such a thing again.” Nora responded.
“I am very proud of you Nora.” Kate said and sighed sadly.
“What is it, grandmother?”
“I just remembered Craig, I still can’t believe what he did.” Kate said slowly. Craig has been like a family to her so it hurt her a little when she was told everything.
“He got what he deserves grandmother, I too was shocked when he told us everything and his evil intentions that night.” Nora said. She could have pity the man if he had truly been Paul’s and Philly father, but since he was not, she felt no pity for him. He really deserves what he got and she hopes he gets to stay imprisoned in the sword for a long time. “Did you see Paul?” She asked, changing the subject.
“Yeah, he said he doesn’t want to wake you up. He said he has a business he wants to do and will be back soon.” Kate replied to her.
“Okay, let me go and call Lora with my phone.” Nora said, leaving Kate’s presence.

Underground Chamber:
Paul opened a room which was in darkness. He clapped his hand once and candles lit started burning, lightening up the dark chamber. The Ten Samurai who followed him entered the room and went to stand at their previous spot facing the old drum. Paul went and stood before the drum looking at each of the Samurai’s.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Thank you brothers for your help, I am really grateful. I am facing no danger, that is why you have to return back and maybe in the near future when I am in need of help, I will call on you brothers.” Paul told the Samurai and started beating the drum the way his late master had taught him.
Right in front of his eyes, the Ten Immortal Samurai started turning into statues and before long all were statues.
He went over to where the old box lay and opened the box with the key where he had hidden it.
Removing the Samurai Sword from its sheath, Craig’s face was seen.
“Release me now or you will pay dearly once I get out of here!” The voice of Craig was heard coming out from the sword, Paul ignored his threats and he swung the sword in the air like he had seen his master do and immediately the sword was out of his hand rolling itself in the air.
The sheath removed by itself from Paul’s hold and like magic, the sword entered its sheath and entered the old box. Closing it, he locked it with the key and kept the key in its hidden place. He once again stared at the room and started walking away.
With each step, the candles surrounding the room started going off one after the other.
He stopped and turned around to look at the statues and the old box which to his surprise had been covered by thick dust.
“I hope not to come here again, everything is fine so I shouldn’t be bothered.” He said to himself and finally went out of the underground chamber.
He came out of the old Samurai’s school and the words of his master came to him.
‘One day Paul, you may meet someone who also knows this technique. I hope when that day comes, you shall come out victorious.’
Philly isn’t evil again, he is really trying to be good, so he wouldn’t count him as someone with the sword technique.
Craig is out of the way since he is imprisoned in the sword, so who else knows this secret technique?
Who is the person his late master was referring to?
Paul pondered in thoughts as he left the old school.

Unknown Place:
A whistle filled the silent air around as three men were seen kneeling on the ground and shaking in fear, their eyes never leaving the one blowing the whistle.
They were inside in what looked like a throne room, and the one blowing the whistle sat on a throne chair. Many Samurai’s Ninja Warriors were seen behind the throne and all round the corner of the throne room.
Two swords that looked exactly like the one Paul had kept in the box were seen rolling in circles in the mid-air at each side of the throne chair. Every part of the swords was red in color, red like blood.
The whistle stopped. “Do you know what happens to those who defy my orders?” A lady’s voice was heard as she asked the men.
“Master, we tried looking for him, but it was as if he vanished into thin air.” One managed to say.
“For two years, two good years I have searched for him. I told you to find him but you defied my orders and you came back without him telling me you can’t find him. He is not dead, he is still alive, hiding.”
“Master, try to give us another chance and we promise you…” He stopped when the lady started whistling again.
The whistle stopped. “In which way will I kill the three of you?” She asks aloud in thoughts.
At that moment, the door leading to the throne room opened and a man entered.
“Princess Kira.” The man acknowledged the dark haired beauty in front of him. “I have good news for you.”
Within seconds the lady was at his back and touched his shoulders. “That can wait, I have three fish to fry.”
With a snap of her fingers, the two Swords rolling in circles came to meet her.
“Destroy them.” She ordered her two swords and the screams of the three men filled the room as they were all chop into small pieces and the Swords feed on their skin and their blood leaving their bodies as it entered the swords, only their skeletons were left behind.
The lady now known as Kira came and stood in front of the man who brought good news for her.
“You can tell me the good news now Derek.”
“I have found him.” The man now known as Derek responded. Derek, a taller muscular man with raven hair and dark eyes smiled as Kira mismatched eyes, one was in red and the other one in black, widened in happiness.
“I hope it is him you found?”
“Yes Princess Kira, it is your Fiance, Philly. I know where he is hiding.” Derek answered.
Kira started laughing. “Finally after two years of searching, my love is finally found.” She said to Derek.
“I can show you where he is master Kira.” Derek said in enthusiasm.
“Sleep.” She whispered. The two swords hovering in the air came together and became one and she grabbed it and put the sword in its sheath.
All the Samurai’s Ninja Warriors in the throne room turned into a statue.
She started whistling.
