The members of the halals were shocked of what Iris just did.
The other way Ashkav and his uncle were also shocked but Leigh on his side wasn't surprised. He suspected it at the moment he saw Lysandre got an interest on Iris.
"What are you saying stranger? You a stranger will be the reincarnation of our goddess Bastet?" The uncle that had the surprise expression was now amused by what Iris just said.
"Why will she choose to reincarnate into a stranger added to that you are thief" he added.
Iris didn't reply to the question of the uncle, she gazed at the king Ashkav.
"You can decide to trust me or not but for now I'm the only answer" she said to Ashkav.
"Your majesty, you will not trust this thief" said the uncle.
"What is she doing? I told her that the royal family shouldn't know it" lysandre thought
"It's false, she's not Bastet" Dana said
Ashkav stood silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"You will stay in the palace for us to confirm what you just said. In exchange of what you just said the Harams wouldn't be executed for now…"
"But if what you said turns out to be false all of you guys will be kill" he darkened his eyes.
"And what if I'm not okay with that?" Imar spoke with a smile.
Imar that was silent during all this time finally spoke.
Ashkav, Leigh and the uncle turned to the person speaking.
"Who are you?" Ashkav asked.
"She's the witch of Bodrum" Leigh answered
"What is a witch doing with them?" Ashkav wondered.
"I'm a just a simple witch that doesn't agree with you people and for it I'm telling you good bye "
Imar started to say incantation and all the members of the Harams disappeared leaving Iris there.
The three people jolted , Iris on her side was relieved that they could escape.
Not sure of what to do with Iris, Ashkav decided to keep her into a closed secure room.

They appeared at Kahmaar city. Lysandre was furious against Imar.
"Why did you do that?" He said displeased.
"What did you want. That I should allow them to execute you?" She said calmly .
"Why haven't you take Iris with us?"
"She seems to know what she was doing. I think she has a plan" Imar said
Lysandre sighed heavily.
"Which good plan. She just said it to save us nothing else" Lysandre said.
"We have to liberate her" Dana said
"I will go . I don't want to put you guys in danger" Lysandre said.
"Are you sure that Iris will follow you? She did it of her own free will" Imar said
"I will convince her and if she doesn't want to listen, I will use force" he said

Into the luxury and large chamber of the palace, Iris mind was far. She thought of the discussion between Bastet and her.
If the people of her own world are forgetting her , what will happen? Her mother and her few friends plus this Era doesn't want her too. What will she do?.
The only solution is to find what brought her here exactly and try to solve the problem before she could find a way to go back to her own Era.
Someone opened the door and called her.
"Iris!"
The familiar voice brought her back to reality, she turned to the person.
"Leigh.." she said softly.
"I'm very happy to see you" she added with a smile.
"Me too but I can see that you make your choice to be with them" Leigh said
"Well, they have been with me, helping and guiding me so…"
Leigh sighed.
Iris approached him.
"You didn't seem to be surprised when I told you people that I'm à the reincarnation of Bastet"
"Yes , mainly because the day of your arrival was the day that the prophet said that the reincarnation of Bastet will manifest and I noticed also the great interest Lysandre got on you"
"Lysandre and you were childhood friends. What happened? Why are you enemies now"Iris questioned
"Yes, we were . The family of lysandre are traitors that is why we became enemies"Leigh said vaguely
