1.Justice for my sister

“‎Is‎ everything planned?” a male voice asked.

“Yes, your Highness. In three days, we will take over Tinral and you can finally get vengeance,” another male voice said.

“Good, mother aren’t you happy? We can finally get the man who killed my sister,” the first voice said with a happy, yet sad tone.

A female voice chimed in, “Of course, after your father didn’t do anything to catch him, it is only right we take matters into our own hands. Oh, Jisha if you were still here.”

“Mother, Jisha would be happy, I know it she was always understanding, always kind but she was naive to trust such a man,” the first voice said and hugged his Mother.

“Oh Keyan, if I would lose you too. Ah, I dare not to think about it, just promise me something. Please promise you won’t get hurt. The death of my other child, I could never see the light of another day again,” his Mother said already in tears.

Kayen looked at his Mother and then at the other man standing in the barely lit room.

“Tell my men to get in position, we will strike when the atmosphere of the Carnival is at its strongest,” he told him in a commanding tone.

“Yes your Highness, as you wish your Highness,” the other man said and fled the room.

Kayen’s mother looked at him, “And you are sure? Sure that that is the man that killed your sister five years ago?”

Kayen smiled sadly, then his gaze chaged from soft to hard and his voice fromsad to angry, “Yes. Mother, I would recognize him anywhere. The worst thing is that he is ruling that City, behaving like an innocent human being.”

His mother began to cry and hugged Kayen. Kayen looked outside his window at the half-moon with his mother in his arms and thought ′I hope this will do you justice. Sister.′ Hugging his mother just as hard.
