They all walked behind the witch, Imar was bringing them to her den.

"Boss, you think she will help us?" Asked Ervin

"Plus, Farouk told us to no trust the first words that she will tell us" he added

Lysandre stood silent for a moment, staring at Imar and then said.

"Remember that, the first words she said was when we helped her with the tiger. We don't even have a choice, just look at the state of Iris" . Ervin and him looked at Iris

" She's the only person that can tell us what's happening to her" he added

After minutes of walk, they arrived in front of huge rock. Imar lifted her hand and waved it to the right, the rock then opened itself. Imar stepped first, and the others followed her.

She clapped her hands and fire was placed on the four lamp, lightening her place.

In her den, were thousands of animal's head of different sorts, herbes on the table.

"Welcome " she said

No respond was said.

She stretched her hand to the direction of a chair.

"Place her here" she indicated to Dana whom was having Iris. Dana helped Iris to sit on the chair in question.

Imar walked to the direction of the table, she took some herbs and started to pound it.

"What's happening to your friend is due to her stubbornness " said Imar

"What stubbornness are you talking of?" Iris asked confuse

"My dear, you're fighting against something that's more than you! Don't restrain what is inside you, because you're trying to restrain it, you're getting punished " Imar said

"What are you talking about?" Asked Iris

Imar poured the powder of the herbs she was pounding on a cup and poured water inside the cup, she looked inside the cup and the solution started boiling.

"You're fighting against your total reincarnation" She walked toward Iris and stood in front her

"You are the reincarnation of the goddess sekhmet " she said calmly

"I'm the reincarnation of nobody!" Said Iris displeased

"If you're not then why did you appear in this era? Why have you strangely disappeared from your era?" Imar said still with her calm voice

Iris who was getting irritated with what the witch was saying, stood up. Even though she was not seeing , she knew perfectly that the old creepy woman was standing just in front of her.

"I don't know why I have appeared here but it's definitely not because I'm a reincarnation of something that doesn't exist" Iris said sternly

The others that wasn't saying anything since , looking that the conversation was taking another atmosphere they decided to speak.

" if she says that she's not then she's not" Farshid defended

"Stop forcing her" Dana added

"Boss, I think we should leave this place. This witch is just lying " Ervin proposed to Lysandre

"It's not just the basterian box that can remove your doubts, prince of thieves" she turned to Lysandre

Lysandre told to his men to stopped arguing with his hand.

"How?" He questioned

The witch knew very well how to grabbed Lysandre attention.

"Wait and see" she directed herself to the cup in which the solution was.

"If she drinks it, you will see what I'm talking of" said Imar

"I will not drink it" Iris refused

Imar looked at Lysandre, so that he should convince Iris.

" what are you loosing drinking it? You know already that you're not the reincarnation right? "

Iris nodded

"But what if it is a poison?! Iris said

"Then I will kill her and give her body to the giant scorpion of Bagdaad. I give you my words" Lysandre said

Iris stretched her hand and Imar gave her the cup. She sipped it, just to taste first, then she drank all the solution. Imar started to murmured words in another language, she was doing incantations.

Few minutes passed and nothing happened.

"You see? I have nothing! She is lying " Iris chuckled

Imar wasn't understanding but then she smiled.

"Oh! I forgot that I still have this appearance, it's taking all my energy and need a lot of concentration " she said

The body of the old woman started to change, her wrinkles started to disappeared and the old body leaving place to a fresh one.

Her white hairs changes to a silver grayish hairs, a pair of brown shining eyes was seen.

Hashem, Farshid, Ervin and even Dana was fascinated by her beauty.

"Now, it will be easier " she murmured back her incantations , Iris started to feel pains in her head

"What's happening to me?" She said holding her head

"What have you done to Iris! Witch! " Dana removed her daggers

"Stay calm" ordered Lysandre

Iris stopped moaning , she looked at them but not with her same way of looking .

When she opened her mouth to speak, it was in another language. The language of the continent.
