THE ENCHANTED ONE HAS COME
"Yes you're right, Madison wants Jesse", Xado said finally catching up. "And...", Derek probed. "And she would do anything to get him.", Xado answered. "Think about it...if she finds out about Jesse's mate she'll hunt her down and hurt her", Derek said and Jesse snorted.
"I'll turn her inside out if she harms her, but I don't want her to trouble my mate. She'll go berserk if she found out about her because till now she has been satisfied knowing that I don't have a mate. We'll keep this between the five of us till it's time to bring her to the troop.", Jesse said. Xado agreed and showed a sign of zipping his lips. The five gorillas in their human form went inside the troop house.
IN THE REALM OF THE DEAD...
The sound of owls hooting could be heard. At the top of a huge house painted gray, which looked haunted, a figure in a black cloak stood overlooking the realm. Suddenly, Lightening struck and thunder clapped . A strong wind was moving in every direction, making the trees that looked dead sway from side to side and the rooves of the haunted-like houses to creak loudly. Another figure in a lighter black cloak than the first figure joined the first figure at the top of the house. The second figure chuckled which sounded like boiling water and asked, "The Enchanted One has come hasn't she?".
The first cloaked figure looked at the gray stormy sky and answered, "Yes, she has been born. The realm of the dead has acknowledged her birth. It's just a matter of time until everything falls back to place", his voice sounding like air being blown into pipes. After staring at the gray sky for a while, the two figures vanished into thin air.
BACK IN LUCKY SPRINGS...
"Ma'am, here's your granddaughter. Her mother gave her such a beautiful name", Lily said to Daisy, Rose's mother. Daisy started at her granddaughter with love and admiration. "Is that so? What name did my daughter give her?", Daisy enquired and Lily answered, "Eclipse...Ms. Rose named her Eclipse".
"Indeed it is a beautiful name for a beautiful child".
Lily informed Daisy that everything was prepared and it was time to dispose of Rose's body in the Great Lake as per traditions.
After hearing what Lily had to say, Daisy held the sleeping Eclipse close to her chest and kissed her forehead. A single tear drop fell onto her face which made her stir a little before sleeping peacefully again. All the crying made the poor baby tired.
"I wish your mother were still here", Daisy said.
She then turned to Lily and said, "Let's go".
Together, Lily, Daisy, Eclipse and 2 male attendants carrying the body of the late Rose in wrapped in a sac-like cloth, went to the great lake. Once they got there, as per tradition, Daisy kissed her daughter one last time and prayed for her soul to be at peace, before letting the body fall down the cliff into the lake below. As Daisy watched her daughter's body fall down the cliff, realization sunk into her that Rose had really moved on to the afterlife.
